Afnan 9PM vs 9PM Elixir vs Night Out vs Rebel vs 9AM Dive: Which One Is Yours?

Afnan's 9PM line is one of the most popular Arabic fragrance families in Malta. The original is a men's scent, while Elixir, Night Out, Rebel and 9AM Dive are unisex. All five share a sweet, confident DNA, but they wear very differently. Here's how to pick.

Afnan 9PM — the original (€54.95)

Sweet apple and cinnamon on top, a soft floral heart, then a warm base of vanilla, tonka, amber and patchouli. It's the crowd-pleaser: sweet, warm and easy to like. Wear it on evenings out, especially in autumn and winter. Shop Afnan 9PM

Afnan 9PM Elixir — the darkest (€59.95)

A unisex Extrait de Parfum that swaps the fruit for spice. Cardamom, nutmeg and elemi open into pimento, lavender and leather, settling on labdanum, patchouli and vanilla. Richer, more grown-up and more noticeable. Best for cooler nights and dressier plans. Shop 9PM Elixir

Afnan 9PM Night Out — the party one (€64.95)

Also a unisex Extrait de Parfum. Dragon fruit, cognac, lavender, apple and bergamot give a fruity, boozy opening, with toffee and suede in the heart and a warm, woody dry-down. If you like the original 9PM but want something louder for nights out, start here. Shop 9PM Night Out

Afnan 9PM Rebel — the youthful one (€59.95)

Brighter and juicier than the original: tangerine, pineapple and green apple over caramel and dry woods. A good unisex pick if 9PM feels too heavy for you. Currently sold out — tap Notify me on the 9PM Rebel page and we'll email you when it's back.

Afnan 9AM Dive — the daytime one (€49.95)

The fresh member of the family: lemon, mint and blackcurrant over incense and woods, made for daytime, the office and hot Maltese days. It's unisex and the easiest to wear from morning to evening. Shop 9AM Dive
