9 PM Pour Femme
9 PM Pour Femme by Afnan is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum in the budget price tier. It opens with raspberry, apple, violet and sweet orange, moves into rose, peony, iris and jasmine and dries down to cedarwood, cypress, pine and amber. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Raspberry Tart, jammy and slightly fuzzy. Very popular in modern sweet scents.
- Apple Crunchy and tart or soft and red, depending on the treatment.
- Violet Powdery, sweet and a bit retro. Parma Violets in flower form.
- Sweet Orange Juicy and cheerful. The friendliest citrus there is.
Heart
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Peony Pink, watery and slightly peppery. Modern and inoffensive.
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Dry-down
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Cypress Cool, green, resinous conifer. Sharp and clean.
- Pine Sappy and bracing. Straightforwardly outdoorsy.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
