9 PM Rebel by Afnan is an aromatic fruity fragrance launched in 2024 by perfumer Gaël Montero.

Dry wood, ambergris, caramel, and musk

Dupe / Inspiration Status:

• Official Stance:

Afnan has never officially marketed 9 PM Rebel as a clone or dupe of a specific fragrance.

• Community Comparison:

The community often compares its fruity-woody DNA to elements of Creed Aventus or general sweet-fruity profiles, though it is a distinct, sweeter composition (often likened to a pineapple upside-down cake with a burnt caramel and woody base) rather than a direct 1:1 clone. (Unlike the original Afnan 9 PM, which shares a vibe with Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male, Rebel goes in a fruitier, spicier, and woodier direction).

Target Audience (Men or Women):

• Gender:

Marketed as a unisex fragrance (aromatic fruity for women and men).

• Vibe:

It leans slightly masculine to versatile due to the cedarwood, dry woods, and oakmoss backbone, though women who enjoy sweet, warm, caramelly, and woody profiles wear it easily.

Best Season and Occasion:

• Seasons:

Best suited for autumn and winter or cooler evenings, though its fresh fruit opening allows it to work as an all-season or year-round scent if worn lightly.

• Occasions:

Ideal for night out events, evening dates, and special occasions rather than a strict office or high-heat daytime fragrance.

Projection and Longevity:

• Longevity:

Lasts around 8 to 12 hours on skin and even longer on clothes.

• Projection & Sillage:

Strong, high-impact projection for the first 2 to 2.5 hours (creating a noticeable scent bubble) before settling into a smooth, long-lasting woody-caramelly trail. You can check availability online via retailers like
