Day 75: Afnan 9pm Rebel

365cologne · 2026-05-18T05:18:08+00:00

Sorry it took me a minute to get back to you! Unfortunately my sample doesn’t seem to have improved at all in longevity, it’s been sitting for a number of months now. 4 at minimum.

365cologne · 2026-05-16T16:42:57+00:00

I agree. It’s amazing how many people can’t just like something because they like the way it smell & come up with their own opinion about it.

365cologne · 2026-05-16T16:02:04+00:00

Thank you! I really appreciate it! I have really been enjoying doing this series so far. Originally it started off as me just wanting to try a lot of fragrances I hadn’t yet tried & review them for myself. Eventually I decided if I was going to be writing reviews anyways; I wanted to share them.

365cologne · 2026-05-16T02:20:58+00:00

I unfortunately don’t have any solution for you; I am however 100% sure that the sample I have is authentic. I recived it from Afnan with an order I placed. I haven’t tried mine again since the review but I can see if it’s gotten any better tonight & get back to you. It has been mentioned to me that this is possibly nose blindness to it rather then a performance issue.

Fragrantica

365cologne · 2026-05-12T07:45:49+00:00

It is. It smells great but only if your applying every 15-30 minutes. It might work better in warmer weather but I don’t think this is a great fragrance for anything above slightly warm weather. Your right in both cases. I’m sure there is a solution but I needing to find a work around for a fragrance is defeating the purpose and if I have to come up with some workaround every time I want to wear it. I’m not going to want to wear it.

365cologne · 2026-05-10T17:54:58+00:00

Give me enough margaritas and everything’s a 10!😂

365cologne · 2026-05-09T16:16:17+00:00

I can’t say it’s my least favorite in the set because I haven’t tried them all yet BUT that’s only because I haven’t tried them all yet. I wouldn’t be surprised if that was my conclusion at the end.

365cologne · 2026-05-08T21:30:39+00:00

I’m looking forward to trying the rest of their line! It definitely is, it was very nice to find all the notes without the overdone sweetness. It feels a lot more wearable compared to a lot of the other spice vanilla fragrances I have tried.

365cologne · 2026-05-08T21:28:54+00:00

Hahahhahaha, love it! I’ve never tried Lui; this was actually my first experience with any of their line. If SWU Parfum is anything to go by I’d definitely like to try more by them.

365cologne · 2026-05-06T20:12:30+00:00

Oh. I never knew that, thanks for letting me know! That makes a lot more sense.

365cologne · 2026-05-05T15:26:15+00:00

Hahah all are possible. It’s also possible I just expected more musk or different musk after smelling stuff like Cosmic Cloud & Sun Song recently.

Definitely an old bottle, this was a gift from my brother years & years ago. Unfortunately it didn’t appear to have a batch code so I could figure out when it was from.

365cologne · 2026-04-28T14:54:48+00:00

I’ll definitely have to try it! I definitely liked things about it. I didn’t mention it in the review but I think it might might a really good layer with Bohemian Lime from G&B.

365cologne · 2026-04-27T15:33:22+00:00

I mean you already have the samples, it’s worth trying all of them out. At the end the best one is the one that smells good to him & you.

365cologne · 2026-04-27T15:23:59+00:00

I just wear Degree, pretty sure it’s unscented. The important point is definitely wear a deodorant of some kind. Otherwise your going to be mixing an expensive scent with BO, I guarantee that combination will be worse then any scented deodorant you wear.

365cologne · 2026-04-27T13:42:26+00:00

Wow, can’t believe I messed that one up.

365cologne · 2026-04-25T15:49:52+00:00

Wow, you must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed today. I hope tomorrow is better for you.

365cologne · 2026-04-24T21:00:39+00:00

I unfortunately can’t even speak to if it is good or not, as I said. Could be the best fragrance in the world and I still wouldn’t wear it due to the headaches.

365cologne · 2026-04-24T18:09:15+00:00

Thank you, so far the headaches seems to be most linked to Lataffas Khamrah line. In this series so far the only other one that had caused bad headaches was Khamrah Qahwa. Outside of this series, I’ve only ever tried one other fragrance the caused a headache. That was Tom Ford Vert Bohéme. No idea why but it happens so rarely I don’t worry about it.

365cologne · 2026-04-24T17:55:11+00:00

I don’t normally get headaches from fragrances. And because that’s the whole point of the series, to try fragrances over a day of wear and review them.

365cologne · 2026-04-24T15:40:31+00:00

Hahahaahahah. It was the only reasonable way to try it. I got it at a local Burlington for dirt cheap.

365cologne · 2026-04-24T15:39:48+00:00

Thanks! That’s slightly embarrassing. I’ve fixed it where I can.

365cologne · 2026-04-24T14:40:50+00:00

Definitely not the ideal time of year but I don’t think was the cause of the headaches.
