How does Afnan 9 PM Elixir smell?
Afnan 9 PM Elixir opens with nutmeg, elemi and cardamome, a dry and aromatic trio. Nutmeg is warm and slightly nutty, elemi is resinous with a fresh, peppery edge, and cardamome adds green, cool spice. The opening is dense with spice rather than fruit, and it feels dry and rich from the start.
Pimento adds a sweet, peppery heat, lavandin brings a herbal bite, and leather gives a smoky, supple dark note. Labdanum follows with sticky, balsamic resin, patchouli adds damp earth, and vanilla rounds the finish with creamy sweetness. The scent moves from dry spice to dark leather and then a warm, resinous base.
Who is Afnan 9 PM Elixir for?
Listed as unisex. Going by the notes alone, it suits someone who likes spice, leather and resin more than fruit or flowers. The vanilla in the base softens the dark notes a little, so it works for those who want something warm, dry and a bit rugged.
