  1. Top notes are perfect, ten out of ten. I absolutely love it, even though my girlfriend can’t quite handle it. Ideal for nights or autumn days, and fresh summer days if your climate allows. The longevity is quite decent; I recommend it.

    Smells like sweetened pineapple. Don’t expect a trail lasting more than an hour or a powerhouse scent. It’s good, yes, but it has way more noise than it deserves. After two hours close to the skin, it starts to fade. That’s my opinion; try it before spending money.

  3. I’m writing this because this perfume has earned me more than five compliments in a short time. My wife wears it more than I do, and it smells divine on her skin. It lasts over 9 hours with excellent projection. I love the dry down that blends pineapple with woods and moss; it’s fantastic. Recommended for dates; if you wear this, your girlfriend will love it.

  4. One of the best pineapple perfumes I’ve ever tried. Rich and sweet, I save it for the night.

  5. I wrote this review because I thought this was a clone of the 9PM Rebel, but it turns out it’s the original. The opening is a strong, sharp burst of pineapple and citrus, dries down quickly, and then the moss appears, which isn’t really my thing, but later comes out the vanilla-woody base, a wonderful combination that lasts until the end. Very youthful scent for going out at night, in any season. Longevity: at first I got 5-6 hours (maybe olfactory fatigue), but after letting it mature for two months, it now lasts 8-10 hours (I wore it today at 2pm and it still smells at 11pm). 8.5/10.

    Delicious perfume. The easiest way to describe it is a very dark, smoked pineapple caramel. On PH Men’s Masculine, it evolves into a beast-level, dark, and intense scent—a pineapple that doesn’t get old and feels incredibly well-crafted. The opening is beast-level; personally, I don’t like it, but others do; after 3-5 minutes, it settles into that dark, chewy pineapple vibe, as mentioned below. I used to have to smell my hand every 10 seconds. Let it mature for a month and it feels much more intense and doesn’t fade. I recommend it for ages 11 to 30, ideally between 15 and 20. I give it 9/10; the perfume is rich and easy to enjoy, but if you don’t like sweet scents, you’ll find it unpleasant, though not as much as One Million or JPG Le Male Elixir, which are twice as sweet.

  7. Delicious aroma 🤩😋. One of the perfumes that gets me the most compliments, just like Qaed Al Fursan, since they’re essentially the same thing. It’s a cocktail of aromatic fruits. A scent that accompanies you all day and the best part is it’s not overwhelming, so you want to smell it every minute. It has great longevity and is very versatile. One of those scents that turns heads. Reminds me of Vibran Leather Summer and Lamar Kajal. Buy it with your eyes closed. Highly recommended a million times 🕉️🕉️🕉️.

    Great fragrance, smells like sweet, woody pineapple. A beast for nightwear. Excellent projection and longevity if you’re young and looking for an affordable fragrance for nights, dates, etc. This is your best option!

  9. Exquisite, a sweet caramelized pineapple that’s totally addictive (I disagree with the claims about moss; I don’t smell any here. I own other fragrances with prominent moss notes that give a forest vibe, but this is purely sweet pineapple with a hint of apple and ambered wood). The opening is very alcoholic but lasts only a few seconds before revealing its delicious scent. I can’t stop smelling my hand every 10 seconds; very few perfumes achieve this. I bought a decant and didn’t test it on my skin, but I’m sure compliments are guaranteed, and the performance is top-notch. I wore it before bed and still smelled it the next morning. Scent: 11/10, Longevity: 10. I will definitely buy the bottle. You absolutely must have this.

  10. Super versatile fragrance with a rich, smoky, and sweet pineapple note. The projection and longevity are top-notch, perfect for any occasion. On the first day, I got flooded with compliments—even a coworker asked for the name so she could buy it for her husband because it did him a world of good. It’s already one of my collection favorites.

  11. The perfume with the best projection and longevity I’ve ever experienced, a compliment bomb. Highly recommended for nightwear on any occasion. There wasn’t a day I didn’t wear it and not receive compliments. In my opinion, it’s one of the best Arab perfumes out there and by FAR the best in the 9PM line.

  12. One of my favorites. Here we find a woody or mossy pineapple, though with the sweetness of pineapple and apple, it works for any weather. You can wear it day or night; it has a good trail and projection.

  13. The opening smells deliciously like caramelized pineapple—incredible, possibly one of the best I’ve ever smelled. But after that, for me, it fades away completely.

  14. Sharp synthetic pineapple opening, slightly plastic-y but fresh and very sweet. Not top-tier quality, but the scent works well and is versatile. Smells like the bottle’s color: cherry (pineapple), metallic with a vanilla and caramel sweetness. Great longevity, 7/10.

  15. Just bought it and it smells delicious. It was a blind buy (I could only smell a dupe at the perfumerie), but the original smells a thousand times better. It’s my first original lotion purchase and it didn’t disappoint; the scent is amazing, 10/10.

    It’s a juicy pineapple with woods, a scent that’s hard to dislike. Very versatile, works for everything, good longevity, and it’s not a beast mode, though it can cause olfactory fatigue. It’s impossible not to get compliments with this fragrance.

  17. I love it, the scent is excellent, smells like sweet woods. I have other perfumes where the pineapple is more noticeable or natural, so for me, this doesn’t count as ‘another pineapple perfume.’ It projects and lasts a long time; it’s one of the longest-lasting in my collection. I think those who say they stop smelling it are experiencing olfactory fatigue or got a bad batch. Excellent for daily wear if you like sweet but not cloying scents.

  18. Pineapple, oakmoss, and vanilla. It opens with a slightly smoky pineapple, enhanced by that fougère touch from the moss and musk, and as it dries down, it leaves behind a creamy vanilla pineapple base. I notice it when I move, and several times at work people have asked me about it.

  19. I agree with ErwinSchrödinger. It’s just past 7 AM when I applied it, and yes, I notice it fades. That said, when I walk into my room, the scent hits me from time to time; it seems to linger on my clothes. In my case, I let it macerate for 4 weeks and will leave it even longer.

  20. If you came here to read reviews to buy it, you’re in for a treat; this is your sign. I won’t talk about notes or projection because I don’t want to drag it out, but let me say it’s a ‘beast mode’ in every way, and everyone agrees. This perfume has it all; it’s incredibly rich on another level. The magic is the dry-down on skin; that smoky, mossy pineapple is delicious and sexy. It lasts for days on clothes until you wash them. If you wear this and people don’t tell you how good you smell, I don’t know what to recommend; you should be worried. It’s a perfume made to please the masses and make you feel attractive, knowing you didn’t break the bank to buy it.

    I bought this on Notino a month ago and I can’t smell it except for the opening; I lose the trail immediately. If I spray it on my clothes, I can still smell it a few days later… I’m not sure if it’s just poor projection or the cold weather, but there’s no beast mode here. Should I let it oxidate for a while?

    This perfume didn’t fascinate me at first; in fact, it was my least used one. However, I’ve finally grown to like it; it’s now my second most flattering scent. It smells like pineapple from start to finish. During the dry down, pineapple is still the main note; it warms up a bit with the amber and vanilla, but it’s all about the pineapple. I wore it to my sister’s wedding—amazing—and also to parties. Just be careful with the sprays; if you abuse it, it can be overwhelming, but with the right dose, you’re a cloud of exquisite scent. It’s great for a casual day, college, the office, etc. Projection, trail, and longevity are 10/10. It can last until the next day and on clothes for days too. Great perfume.

  23. If you like fragrances of this style with a fruity pineapple opening, maltol, and a well-masculine woody base, go for Zara Bogoss or Bogoss Elixir. It’s infinitely rounder and perceived as higher quality.

    Quite weak on performance; it’s practically the same as Qaed al Fursan, just with a more pronounced smokiness; it’s a straight-up copycat; they just flipped the script to sell it for more. Irrelevant, redundant, and adds nothing new. Update: After using it and letting it rest for a month, I don’t see any change, as has happened with other Arab fragrances; it remains quite linear without evolution, which is overwhelming and tiring. Now I understand why it’s one of the least sold in the 9 series.

    Delicious and super potent, and I like it even more when it dries down: it feels like caramel and ambroxan very similar to Club de Nuit Untold, but more perceptible since it doesn’t leave my nose saturated. I give it a 9/10 for its price and quality. The opening is pure ripe pineapple, but after a few minutes that note drops and it becomes more like super rich caramel.

  26. I get a spicy scent from it, or maybe I tested a Chinese clone of 9PM (I smelled it in a Chinese perfumery, pretty sketchy; the bottles didn’t have the proper batch seals below and other herbs). It opens with a very rich pineapple smell, with a hint of apple, absolutely delicious. The middle notes are a bit particular; I feel them as spicy; the dry down washes away the spicy side a bit but it remains present. I like the opening and the final dry down, but not the middle.

  27. 9PM Rebel is a fragrance that makes an impression; upon spraying, you feel an excellent combination of juicy, fresh pineapple with hints of apple. To this, we must add some smoky touches from time to time, as if slightly burned wood were combining with these fruits. If you know or own Lattafa’s Qaed Al Fursan, it’s the same aroma, but with fresher touches and better performance. A masculine, youthful fragrance, excellent for any occasion and weather. Performance is good, averaging 8 hours of longevity and excellent projection. It generates compliments. Blind buy? Yes, if you like fruity scents.

  28. I received it as a gift and it became one of my favorites. I’m starting a collection and hadn’t felt a fruity fragrance so captivating: pure pineapple, juicy, slightly smoky on my skin with a light herbal base. It feels sweet, fresh, and juicy; in my opinion, mainly for spring/summer use. I’ve received compliments since I started wearing it. For its quality and price, it’s 100% worth having on your radar when you go hunting for perfumes.
