9PM
9PM by Afnan is a masculine-leaning eau de parfum from 2020 in the budget price tier. It opens with apple, cinnamon and lavender, moves into vanilla and tonka bean and dries down to amber, musk and cedarwood. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Apple Crunchy and tart or soft and red, depending on the treatment.
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
Heart
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
Dry-down
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
