Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

9pm's sweet vanilla, tonka bean, and warm spice profile make it ideal for fall and winter, providing coziness and projection in cooler air. It can work in spring's mildness but is too dense and sweet for most summer days.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its bold sweetness and strong sillage make 9pm an attention-grabbing choice for dates and nights out. It's too loud for most offices or active/sport settings, but can suit casual and some semi-formal occasions.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Afnan 9pm opens with a juicy burst of apple and berry, drizzled in spicy cinnamon and citrus for immediate impact. As the heart unfolds, orange blossom and soft florals bring brightness before the base melts into a rich blend of creamy vanilla, roasted tonka bean, amber, and patchouli. It's a sweet, decadent scent with pronounced warmth and a thick, lingering trail that leaves a memorable impression deep into the night.
