9PM Elixir
9PM Elixir by Afnan is a masculine-leaning parfum from 2024 in the budget price tier. It opens with nutmeg, elemi and cardamom, moves into pimento, lavender and leather and dries down to labdanum, patchouli and vanilla. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Nutmeg Warm, woody and slightly sweet. Cosy without being gourmand.
- Elemi Peppery resin with a lemon-pine lift. Bright and dry.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
Heart
- Pimento Allspice — clove, cinnamon and nutmeg at once. Hot and rounded.
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
Dry-down
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
