9am

9am from Afnan is a bright, many-sided fragrance for women. Everyone who describes it finds it spicy, gourmand, green, woody, floral and citrus all at once, which reflects a composition that touches several families without settling on one.

The notes are given as a single list. Lemon and mandarin orange give a zesty opening, and apple and green apple add a crisp, juicy sweetness. Pink pepper and cardamom provide a light, warm spice, and lavender an aromatic freshness. The heart pairs rose with orange blossom, a soft, honeyed floral accord. In the base, cedar gives a dry woodiness, patchouli adds earth, oakmoss and moss bring a damp, green depth, and musk smooths the finish.

9am is positioned for women. As the name suggests, its fresh fruit and citrus make it a natural daytime scent, and the woody, mossy base gives it more staying power than a simple citrus. It is likely to appeal to anyone who wants a versatile, fresh-but-rounded everyday fragrance.
