Afnan 9PM Elixir (Extrait de Parfum): Spiced Leather & Amber Vanilla After-Dark

Afnan 9PM Elixir is a unisex Extrait de Parfum that reframes the beloved 9PM DNA into a darker, spicier, more resinous night take. Launched in 2025, it layers luminous spices over a supple leather heart and a warm amber-vanilla base for a confident, after-hours aura.

Fragrance Notes

Top Notes: Nutmeg, Elemi, Cardamom
A bright, peppery–resinous lift where sparkling elemi and aromatic cardamom sharpen the warmth of nutmeg.

Heart Notes: Pimento, Leather, Lavandin/Lavender
A suave core: gently smoky leather and aromatic lavender, pricked with the chili-like heat of pimento. (Brand lists lavandin; communities often note lavender.)

Base Notes: Labdanum (Cistus), Patchouli, Vanilla
Amber-resin depth with patchouli’s earthiness and a creamy vanilla trail that feels dense yet polished.

Concentration & Positioning: Marketed as Extrait de Parfum, 100 mL, and unisex, within the 9AM/9PM collection.

Who Is It For?

If you enjoy spiced ambers and soft leather with a vanilla undertone but want something sleeker than overtly sweet clubbing scents this reads confidently unisex and slightly dressy.

When to Wear

Shines in autumn–winter and evenings year-round. The resin/vanilla base and leather heart make it ideal for nights out, dinners, or cool-weather casual luxe.

Why You’ll Love It

• Spice with polish: Cardamom–nutmeg–elemi sparkle without going harsh.

• Suave leather heart: Adds sophistication and a subtle smoky feel.

• Amber-vanilla depth: Labdanum + vanilla give a plush, lasting trail.
