The Brand
Afnan
Afnan has 135 perfumes indexed on Scendira, spanning launches from 2012 to 2026. Across the 133 mapped perfumes in our data, woody is the top accord (35%), followed by musky and fruity (23% each), amber (20%), and warm-spiced (19%), so the range is more varied than a single signature register, moving from fresh-fruity openings into woody-musk drydowns. Musk, amber, and rose lead on the note level. Prices run $19.99 to $69, with a $38.59 median, and the catalogue leans unisex (44% of the mapped range), with feminine (34%) and masculine (22%) close behind. By community mentions, 9pm is by far the most-discussed Afnan perfume, with 1,480 mentions, ahead of Turathi Blue (1,149) and Supremacy Not Only Intense (574).

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.
Most-Discussed Afnan Perfumes on Scendira
