Playboy AM-PM is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2023, created by Paul Guerlain. AM-PM opens with Lemon, Cardamom, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Geranium, Cinnamon, and Clary Sage, and dries down to a base of Amber Xtreme, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Playboy's AM-PM carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

It’s got that signature Playboy flirtation, but don’t expect anything too wild. This is a solid, everyday charmer that’s approachable, if a little generic. A decent entry point for those dipping their toes into spicier scents.

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.

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

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • 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

AM-PM kicks off with a zesty lemon and sharp ginger, brightened by a hint of aromatic cardamom. As it settles, a warm blend of cinnamon and clary sage emerges, bringing a smooth, spicy heart. The base is all about inviting warmth: soft vanilla and amber xtreme are grounded by a touch of earthy patchouli, giving it a comforting, slightly seductive finish.
