9pm by Afnan

The opening is sweet and vanilla-like, very sticky, but as it dries it turns dark and synthetic without drying down well. After months of testing, I didn’t like it. It feels excessively youthful, even for fans of sweet scents like Invictus. I gifted it to a colleague in his early twenties. Scent 5/10, Longevity 7/10. Good value for money and lasting power, but it’s not for me.

It smells super synthetic; the cinnamon and apple notes dominate too much. The scent fatigues me quickly; maybe it would work better in winter, but I can’t see many occasions to wear it. It targets a young audience and doesn’t convey anything special.

It has no fixative, no sillage, and smells like a cheap, sweet cinnamon women’s perfume. I bought it on Amazon and it lasted less than two minutes. It’s March 2026, don’t buy it; it no longer has a fixative.

The perfume is exquisite and good, though I had a bad experience buying it: I ordered international shipping and it arrived spilled, with only 70-75ml left, so I won’t be able to use it to its full potential. But the perfume is very long-lasting, with good projection and a scent identical to Ultramale.

Yes, I fell for the hype. An ULTRA synthetic perfume that literally smells like generic fruit bubblegum. Then a rancid vanilla appears with an unpleasant alcoholic base. It’s poorly balanced and structured. I absolutely do not recommend it. The good thing: I only lost $25. Is it beast mode? Yes, but you’ll smell like a daycare and a toddler. Perfume for quinceañeras, sure, they’ll sell it.

One of the first I tried, back when I knew nothing about perfumes or that it was an Ultramale clone. It’s very good: sweet and floral. The trail is heavy; at 3 PM, it was still strong from 8 AM. Be careful with the sprays, you might overwhelm people. I see it as suitable for 18+. I wore it at work in winter and got so many compliments that a friend thought I was wearing the original. Because of that, my colleagues started switching to Kismet or Khamrah. Great for autumn and winter, day or night. Lately, I’ve heard it everywhere on the subway, but 100% recommended.

Simple, long-lasting, and rich. You can wear it every day, though it shines more at night. Just avoid extreme heat, like in Mexicali.

It’s the JPG without that earthy part. It’s lighter and easier to wear, which I love.

I bought it blind and it’s a great perfume that deserves the hype. Perfect for cold climates and parties. The opening is synthetic, but as it dries down, it evolves into an excellent aroma. I’ve gotten tons of compliments at parties thanks to the sweet vanilla. Longevity and performance for the price are 10/10: lasts over 24h on clothes and about 12h on skin. Projection is excellent for the first 3 hours. I used 5 sprays and it was enough. Recommended blind for parties or nights; if you’re over 30, there are better options.

The general DNA doesn’t appeal to me much. The opening is good but fades quickly and becomes powdery. It’s masculine, but it smells like a barbershop. I don’t dislike it, but it doesn’t grab my attention. I find it useful year-round, though it stands out more in fresh settings.

Yes, 85% of collectors own it. If you have others with that DNA, people will think you’re wearing 9PM by Afnan. It smells great and makes you feel good, but the compliments are already gone. You won’t stand out, but if you buy it, it’ll make you feel amazing. Use it sparingly for work or casual outings, but avoid it for dates or important meetings. Remember: someone else wore it before you. Your attitude and presence are what matter, not whether the perfume is common.

To me, it’s very potent and sweet. For others, it’s a positive, but I can’t handle smelling this nuclear for so long. I definitely smell the cinnamon and apple, all dessert vibes, but I’m not convinced by those synthetic notes that get accentuated by the potency.

I bought it blind because my friend has the Ultramale and they said they smell the same. Opening it, I was disappointed by the intense cinnamon scent, but after 10 days of maceration, it changed completely. Arabic fragrances need time to settle. I give it 8/10; even though it’s synthetic, the vanilla and apple are quick and pleasant. Top notes: vanilla, apple, tonka bean, cinnamon, and lavender. Dry down: vanilla, tonka bean, and cinnamon. Wear it year-round, but in summer, use only 4 sprays indoors or you’ll get dizzy; in winter, you can go up to 12 sprays in open spaces. Ideal for young people.

It’s the ultimate party perfume in the Arabic industry. Youthful, sparkling, and sweet with a mischievous touch, designed to grab attention. You sacrifice quality for the synthetic aspect, but the potency is worth it. Designed for night, but if you don’t mind the heavy scent during the day, use it sparingly in non-hot weather.

What a perfumazo. It projects for about five hours and lasts on the skin for fourteen. Tremendous fragrance that, if it resembles Ultramale, is identical; I don’t notice much difference, only a slight variation in the opening. It has that BPI power. If you see it cheap, it’s totally worth it. Identical quality to JPG. Scent: 10/10, Performance: 10/10, Originality: 6. Total: a solid 9, just like its name.
