It’s not just my daughter that is addicted to fragrances, it’s also my teenage son. Anyone with teenagers will know that taking care of their appearance doesn’t just include how they look but how they smell too. Both my children want to smell good (thank god!), and their fragrance collections are getting bigger and bigger as they get older. My son bought himself the fragrance Afnan 9pm from Amazon a few months for just under £30.00 for 100ml.
Packaging
The packaging of this is simple but quite masculine. The bottle is made of glass, rounded edges and rectangular in shape and quite chunky and weighty. It’s mostly clear with it’s name peeking through it. Afnan 9pm comes in a black corrugated cardboard box. Simple, but stylish and definitely geared towards the guys.
Fragrance
This fragrance has a musk and earthiness to it. I know vanilla when I smell it and that comforting, warming scent is in this somewhere. There’s a little sweetness to this in a fruity way, but with a hint of floral. So the fragrance itself is quite fresh but masculine. Not a light fragrance as this packs a punch with lots of depth to it. And despite it clearly being a men’s fragrance a lot of women would like this too, because I do!
Strength & Longevity
Strength wise, this is gearing towards moving from medium to strong. You spray it, you smell it but it’s not overpowering because it’s easy to go back for another spritz. Longevity wise this is really good. My son will spray this in the morning and it’s still on him when he’s back from school in the afternoon. I’ve used this and I have to say it lasts really well on me too but I only apply it onto clothes, my son will apply it all over himself!
Recommended?
I haven’t bought an expensive fragrance for myself in YEARS! With good quality body mists and other more affordable fragrances available I haven’t needed to. But if I’m honest, smelling this and using this on myself has changed my mind. I think sometimes paying a little more isn’t a bad thing for a great smelling, top quality fragrance. I just wouldn’t do it all the time. Afnan 9pm smells amazing! Great scent, long lasting, perfect strength and is 100ml which will last forever! It’s the type of scent most people will love, regardless of sex or age and a great purchase for birthdays and Father’s Day.
