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

By community mentions across Scendira's data, 9pm is the clear leader among Afnan perfumes with 1,480 mentions, followed by Turathi Blue (1,149), Supremacy Not Only Intense (574), and Supremacy Collector's Edition Pour Homme (416). Rare Carbon and Modest Une pour Femme trail well behind but still register real community volume. Each has its own page here with real community sentiment and the honest downside.
