9pm

9pm by Afnan, released in 2020 for men, is a sweet floral gourmand with warm amber underneath. Everyone describes it as gourmand and floral; spicy, woody, amber and citrus facets are each noted by about a third.

It opens with bergamot and crisp apple over wild lavender, with cinnamon adding a warm, almost baked spiciness from the start. The heart is unexpectedly floral for a masculine scent, with orange blossom and lily of the valley lending a clean, slightly soapy softness. The base brings the sweetness forward: tonka bean and vanilla give a creamy, dessert-like warmth, patchouli adds earthy depth and amber a lingering glow.

Most wearers find it long lasting, and a majority report a strong trail. It is voted mainly for winter and autumn, and two thirds reserve it for the night. That makes it a cold-weather evening scent, suited to dinners and nights out rather than a quiet office, and to anyone who likes a sweet, cosy signature.
