Product description
9PM Elixir by Afnan is a warm, intense and magnetic unisex fragrance released in 2025. The nose behind this fragrance is Imran Fazlani.

Inspiration / Dupe
Afnan does not officially market 9PM Elixir as a clone of any designer fragrance, but community reviewers often compare its overall vibe to Le Male Elixir Absolu (Jean Paul Gaultier) due to the spice-vanilla-amber leather character, though it is not an exact match and stands on its own stylistically.

What it smells like
9PM Elixir opens with a warm spicy spark, rich nutmeg and cardamom layered with resinous elemi for vibrant depth.

The dry-down becomes creamy, sensual and magnetic, anchored by labdanum, patchouli, cistus and vanilla, giving a deep, warm, slightly sweet spicy gourmand profile ideal for evening wear.
