Launched in 2020 by its United Arab Emirates fragrance house, Afnan 9pm Cologne is a musky, fruity scent with a sophisticated warmth. The scent will make you feel like driving down a windy coastal highway in a luxurious convertible, a thick forest on one side and a steep cliff on the other, as the sweet, fresh wind blows through your hair.

You can expect a fresh, spicy top with notes of apple, bergamot, lavender and cinnamon that complement middle notes of orange blossom and lily-of-the-valley. These add a lighter, slightly feminine softness. The grounding of this fragrance includes sweet, woody musky base notes of vanilla, amber, patchouli and tonka bean. The lighter top and floral heart dry down into an ultimately male essence, perfectly balancing this complex mixture.
