The Story
Afnan 9PM Eau de Parfum 100ml – The Sweet Night-Time Bestseller Afnan 9PM is the fragrance that put Afnan on the map worldwide, and it remains one of the best-selling Arabian fragrances in South Africa. It is sweet, warm and openly flirtatious — apple and cinnamon over a thick vanilla-tonka base — and it earns compliments with almost boring reliability. If you have been recommended one Afnan bottle to start with, this is usually it.

+Afnan 9PM Eau de Parfum 100ml – The Sweet Night-Time Bestseller
Afnan 9PM is the fragrance that put Afnan on the map worldwide, and it remains one of the best-selling Arabian fragrances in South Africa. It is sweet, warm and openly flirtatious — apple and cinnamon over a thick vanilla-tonka base — and it earns compliments with almost boring reliability. If you have been recommended one Afnan bottle to start with, this is usually it.
What Does Afnan 9PM Smell Like?
The first spray is crisp apple and warm cinnamon, lifted by bergamot with a herbal streak of lavender running underneath. That combination is instantly recognisable to anyone who knows Jean Paul Gaultier's Ultra Male — 9PM is the widely acknowledged affordable alternative. The heart softens into orange blossom and lily-of-the-valley, adding a clean floral sweetness. Then the base takes over and stays: creamy vanilla, tonka bean and amber with a touch of earthy patchouli, producing that sticky-sweet trail the fragrance is famous for.
