    I couldn't agree with you more about 9 PM man. Everything you mentioned about it are the exact reasons I just can't wear it. One of the few headache inducing fragrances I have.

      I didn’t like it either, couldn’t see the hype for something so average.

    Great video. Have you tried lataffa art of nature 1? Wondering how you rate it against azzure oud? My best fragrances of the year are Ameb Al Maghribi Bin Shiekh and Ignite Oud.

    Too bad about Cherry Cola. I find it very very close to Tonka Cola, and the vanilla drydown is epic.

    3:53 in regards to Moscow Mule, I get the same way with their Appletini. I feel fatigued when Ive worn it. I feel like I'm being wrapped in plastic with that synthetic smell.

    I agree with you, 9PM is not really wearable. Too much of the apple accord in it, that oil has a very synthetic aspect when the concentration is heavy, and with a big dose of coumarin, it is tough on the nose. It doesn't smell bad, but it doesn't smell good either... it is just too synthetic. I understand some people will like it, but I'm pretty sure we can all agree that it is not a refined fragrance, the quality is more like a febreeze air spray. Some people must have been paid to hype it that much.

    I agree with you on 9PM. It is just too synthetic for me. All I get is sweet fruity chemical like smell. I was very excited to get it because I found it at a great price, but utterly disappointed.

    • @ibrahimzaheer6582
      @ibrahimzaheer6582 4 дня назад

      it is not for sensitive noses, besides i dont think a single fragrance should be hyped so much, there are other better alternatives for ultramale.

    @nazmyyunus2562 4 дня назад

    Yes afnan 9PM too sweet compared too the OG JPG ultra male. Moscow mule basically for me a slightly fresher nautica voyage. Smell 90% close to voyage

    @88kris88 4 дня назад +1

    9pm to me was/is massively overhyped and was initially a big disappointment when I got it. I personally think Lattafa Ramz Silver is better (also cheaper) where I live and even Attar Al Wesal by Attar Al Wesal does an equally good job.
    Tbh all of these options for that DNA are much of a muchness in scent profile, quality, longevity, projection etc and the vast majority of people would be best served by getting which ever one is the cheapest in their area.

    Replace 9PM with Glacier Ultra - MA, it is better in all aspects.

    • @saucaybaw636
      @saucaybaw636 4 дня назад +2

      Yep, this and Ramz Silver are the best, though I haven’t tried the new Rayhaan Lion yet. I layer Glacier and Ramz, it’s SO close to the actual UM

    I don't think I could agree with you more, I don't like 9pm either. I got a bottle about 2 weeks ago and now I'm doing my best to use it up as quick as I can just to get rid of it.

    Encre noir I had to give away, there was a note that just came off acrid to my nose. I do have 9pm, one of the 1st perfumes I bought a couple years ago do to hype, I do like the smell of it, but it's one I seldom wear, I think it smells better from afar in the air than coming off my skin. since I have a personal policy that I have to sacrifice a perfume to buy a new one (avoiding clutter and impulse buys) 9 pm might be the next one to go, as I have probably only wore it 6 times in 2 years.
    I noticed Milestone has released 4 Penhaligon clones, I think I will give them a test. if something tickles my fancy I will replace my 9pm.

    I was shocked by Azzure Oud. It’s hard to believe people actually want to smell like that. It’s a car wreck; diesel, oil, antifreeze, burning wires, burning hair, melting polyesters… I almost never say this, even about fragrances that I don’t like, but Azzure Oud is an abomination.

    Bois noire sounds even better than Lalique Encre Noire!
    I am sorry it didn't work out for you. Buying a dupe of a fragrance you know you don't like seems.... reckless.

    I absolutely agree with 9pm. It’s a synthetic mess that isn’t close enough to ultramale. Ramz is so much better.

    Azzure Oud is NOT blind buy.
    Don't ever buy it EVER. Smells absolute trash I smelled it in store.
    Agree 9pm is def trash as well too sweet too candy-ish to feminine.

      I appreciate your comment. It’s not necessarily blind but safe, but this was one of my personal favorite blind buys. This video was more for showing my personal favorite picks as not everyone’s going to like the same stuff.
