Think warm spiced peach with creamy vanilla and sandalwood undertones: that is Afnan Al Maqaam. It opens with peach and white flowers, moves into vanilla, nutmeg and amber and settles on sandalwood, fig and tonka bean. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This fragrance is best in spring and winter and is an evening scent. It suits casual days and date nights. Released in 2018.
Wearers report that it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.

Is Afnan Right for You?
Best for: shoppers who want one house that covers both a well-known Aventus-adjacent pick (9pm) and a wide $20-$69 everyday range across genders. Sample first if: you're buying on 9pm's reputation alone; the rest of the catalogue is more fruity-floral than smoky-woody. Skip if: you want a tightly focused single-note house rather than a broad, mixed-register catalogue.
