Afnan 9 PM Eau de Parfum - Luxury Men's Signature Fragrance

Afnan 9 PM For Men is a popular Amber Vanilla fragrance launched in 2020.¹ It has gained significant fame in the fragrance community as a high-performing and budget-friendly alternative to the iconic Jean Paul Gaultier Ultra Male.²

Designed primarily for evening wear, it is widely considered a "clubbing" or "date night" powerhouse due to its loud projection and seductive sweetness.³

The Scent Profile

The fragrance is characterized by a "bubblegum" sweetness balanced with a warm, spicy undertone.⁴

• Top Notes: A crisp opening of Apple, Cinnamon, Wild Lavender, and Bergamot.⁵ The apple provides a juicy freshness, while the cinnamon adds immediate warmth.⁶

   

• Heart Notes: It transitions into a floral heart of Orange Blossom and Lily-of-the-Valley (Muguet), which adds a clean, slightly soapy sophistication.⁷

   

• Base Notes: The dry-down is rich and creamy, dominated by Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Amber, and Patchouli.⁸ This creates a long-lasting, cozy, and alluring trail.

   

Performance & Versatility

• Longevity: Exceptional. Most users report 8 to 10+ hours of wear, with the scent often lingering on clothing until the next day.⁹

   

• Sillage (Projection): Strong. It "commands attention" and is known for leaving a noticeable trail, making it ideal for outdoor events or crowded indoor spaces.¹⁰

   

• Best For: Late autumn, winter, and cool spring nights.¹¹ Its density can be overwhelming in high heat, though it can work on cool summer evenings if applied lightly.

   

Key Characteristics

Tip: Because of its high concentration and strong projection, 2–4 sprays are usually sufficient. Over-applying in small indoor spaces may make the sweetness feel cloying.
