9pm opens with juicy apple, warm cinnamon, wild lavender and bergamot, moves into a soft orange blossom and lily-of-the-valley heart, then settles into a rich vanilla, tonka bean, amber and patchouli base. Fragrantica's community voting (14,419 longevity votes) puts it as long lasting for 61% of wearers, with a further 11% calling it eternal.
9pm is a 2020 Oriental Vanilla fragrance from Afnan. It opens with Apple, Cinnamon, Wild Lavender and Bergamot — a juicy, spiced freshness. The heart brings Orange Blossom and Lily-of-the-Valley, a soft white-floral lift. The base is Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Amber and Patchouli — a warm, sweet, slightly spicy finish.
Fragrantica's accord breakdown puts vanilla at 100% strength, with amber (47%), warm spicy (43%), fruity (39%), cinnamon (36%) and sweet (36%) close behind, then lavender (34%) and fresh (30%) rounding it out. The overall effect reads as a sweet, spiced vanilla-amber scent rather than a light fresh one.
The opening is juicy and spiced — apple, cinnamon and wild lavender lead for the first stretch of wear. The orange blossom and lily-of-the-valley heart follows, softening the spice with a light floral lift. It dries down into the vanilla-tonka-amber-patchouli base, where the sweetness builds and settles. Fragrantica voters lean strongly toward evening wear — 68% log it as a night scent against 32% for day.
Of 14,419 Fragrantica longevity votes, the largest group (61%) rate 9pm's staying power as long lasting, with a further 11% calling it eternal and 25% moderate; only 4% find it weak or very weak. Sillage tracks similarly: of 14,010 votes, 53% describe its projection as strong, 35% as moderate, and 8% as enormous. Fragrantica community voting. See the full breakdown.
Season votes favour the cooler half of the year — winter (38%) and autumn (32%) together account for most of the vote, with spring (20%) and summer (9%) well behind. It reads as a scent for cold-weather wear rather than a summer scent.
Afnan markets 9pm as a men's fragrance, and Fragrantica's gender voting leans the same way — 37% male and a further 47% male-leaning of 14,265 votes, against 14% unisex and under 2% female. Wear it if the profile suits you.
Fragrantica's community voting links 9pm most closely to Ultra Male by Jean Paul Gaultier, suggesting the two share a similar warm, spiced-vanilla shape. New to this style? If you enjoy Jean Paul Gaultier's Ultra Male, you'll recognise the shape here. If you'd rather buy from what FG stocks, Ramz Lattafa Silver shares the same vanilla-forward oriental shape and sits on Fragrantica's own "reminds me of" list for 9pm.

Wide range of budget friendly to relatively high end priced perfume brands. Rayhan, Armaf, French Avenue, Brandy, Lattafa just to mention a few. They also sell a 10ml of any brand you like, good for testing before you commit to the whole bottle.
This store reminds me of my days in Dubai. Prices are competitive and most probably the best I have found on the market. Amazing perfumes!
Shahed was very welcoming and friendly… He was knowledgeable about the perfumes and took the time to understand what I was looking for before recommending a fragrance that suited my preferences perfectly.
What a good find! A place where you can smell all the Dubai perfumes. Monique assisted us and she was very helpful. Will see you soon!
Customer service 10/10. Tamzyn helped me she was very nice energetic and helpful… when I heard the price I had to take it. So very affordable in my opinion.
The quality of the fragrances is outstanding. The oils and perfumes are impressive and has longevity… I will definitely be returning and recommending this shop to others.
He was very helpful and friendly as I did not have a clue of what I wanted to get for my mom… It smells very nice. I got compliments at work… I would recommend people to go here.
