Afnan Perfumes in Lebanon: A Guide to the 9 PM, Supremacy, Historic and Bouquet Lines

Afnan is one of the fragrance houses that turned Middle Eastern perfumery into something people wear every day rather than only for occasions. The catalogue is large and the names repeat across lines — 9 AM, 9 PM, Supremacy, Historic, Bouquet — which is exactly why people get lost choosing.

This is the map. Four lines, what each one is actually for, and which bottle to start with.

The 9 AM / 9 PM line — day and night

The clearest naming in the house: 9 AM is built for daylight, 9 PM for evening.

• 9 AM Pour Femme (EDP, 100ml, women) — opens bright with mandarin, bergamot and grapefruit, moves into blackcurrant and raspberry, and settles on musk, orange and amber. This is the office and daytime option.
• 9 PM Rebel (EDP, 100ml, unisex) — pineapple, mandarin and green apple over cedarwood, oakmoss and vanilla, drying down to ambergris, dry wood, caramel and musk. Fruity but not sweet-only.
• 9 PM Night Out (Extrait de Parfum, 100ml, unisex) — a higher concentration: dragon fruit, bergamot, cognac, lavender and apple, into cardamom, suede and toffee, over tonka bean, patchouli and ambroxan. Use less than you would with an EDP.
• 9 PM Elixir (Extrait de Parfum, 100ml, unisex) — the spiciest of the group: nutmeg, elemi and cardamom, then pimento, lavandin and leather, over labdanum, patchouli and vanilla. Cold-weather and evening territory.

The Supremacy line — the signature men's and unisex range

• Supremacy Incense (EDP, 100ml, men) — bergamot, oregano and pepper into amber, labdanum and opoponax, over leather, sandalwood, patchouli and oud. The most traditionally Middle Eastern of the line.
• Supremacy In Oud (100ml, unisex) — saffron, nutmeg and lavender over agarwood, finishing on patchouli and musk. If you want oud without it being overwhelming, this is the entry point.
• Supremacy Gala (EDP, 90ml, women) — pear blossom, red berries and mandarin into gardenia and frangipani, over vanilla, brown sugar, caramel, praline and patchouli. The sweet gourmand of the house.
• Supremacy Collector's Edition Gift Set — EDP 100ml with a deodorant and shower gel. A chypre fruity profile: pineapple, bergamot and apple into orange blossom, birch and amber, over oak moss, musk and ambergris. The practical gift choice.

The Historic line — the statement bottles

• Historic Doria (EDP, 100ml, unisex) — raspberry, lemon zest and orange blossom into tuberose, ambroxan and jasmine, over woody notes and musk. Frequently compared to the sweet-woody profile of much more expensive niche fragrances.
• Historic Sahara (Extrait de Parfum, 100ml, unisex) — bergamot, cinnamon and cardamom into elemi, vanilla and sugar, over musk, almond, tonka, praline and ambroxan. Warm, dessert-adjacent, high concentration.
• Tobacco Rush (EDP, 80ml, unisex) — tobacco, spice and woods into a sweeter spiced heart, over amber, cedar and oud. Autumn and winter.

The Bouquet line — the floral range

• Violet Bouquet (EDP, 80ml, women) — woody and saffron opening with bergamot, a heart of caramel, amber and citrus peel, over ambergris, oak moss and woods.
• La Fleur Bouquet (EDP, 80ml, women) — orange blossom, jasmine and peony into litchi, peach and bergamot, over musk and moss. The lightest and most wearable of the four in daytime heat.
• Delicious Bouquet (EDP, 80ml, women) — lemon, vanilla and white florals into orange blossom, sugar, rum, panna cotta and honey, over tonka, musk, caramel and vanilla. Sweet and unapologetic about it.

How to choose in one minute

• Daytime, office, Lebanese summer: 9 AM Pour Femme or La Fleur Bouquet.
• Evening and going out: 9 PM Night Out or 9 PM Rebel.
• Oud and traditional oriental: Supremacy Incense or Supremacy In Oud.
• Sweet gourmand: Supremacy Gala, Delicious Bouquet or Historic Sahara.
• Gifting: the Supremacy Collector's Edition set.

Note the concentration before you buy: EDP and Extrait de Parfum are not interchangeable. Extrait carries more oil, sits closer to the skin and lasts longer — two touches, not four sprays. Our guide to making perfume last in Lebanese heat covers how to apply and store them.

Common questions

Is Afnan a men's or women's brand?

Both, and much of the range is unisex. Each product page states who the fragrance is listed for.

What is the difference between 9 AM and 9 PM?

Different fragrances built for different times of day — 9 AM lighter and citrus-forward, 9 PM richer and warmer. Not two versions of one scent.

Which lasts longest?

The Extrait de Parfum bottles — 9 PM Night Out, 9 PM Elixir and Historic Sahara — by concentration.
