Afnan - 9pm Elixir

Last one from the discovery set I recently purchased.

The opening has a strong cardamom edge to it, so if spice is your thing, this might be one for you!

There is also something in there that I've not come across before, which again is very spicy nature, and ever so slightly sour - I am guessing this might be the pimento mentioned in the note breakdown?

As it settles, (roughly 10-20mins in), then the softer leather notes and lavender start to come to the surface. Overall, it conveys assurance and a degree of complexity - I can see this working as an evening/night time wear, more so than a day time option. I'm still not 100% sure I'm sold on that slightly sour note, but its certainly distinctive!

This profile is a notable contrast to the headline 9pm and 9pm Rebel fragrances I've tried in the past - this one very much stands out as a more overtly masculine scent. The performance seems to be fairly solid rather than spectacular, with decent projection and longevity.
