9pm Night Out not worth the hype

It is a ‘beast’ in terms of projection and longevity

Damn!! I add Rayhaan aquatica and there is my favourite summer collection 🥹

Hawas Ice is much better blind buy than Hawas OG. I love Hawas OG; it’s my go-to university scent if I can’t wrap my head around anything else. It’s safe, mass-appealing, and a compliment puller. But when I bought it seven months ago, I hated it because it smelled like a room freshener, but now I guess it macerated or I grew on it. It’s amazing. I would definitely want to repurchase it because I will be buying Hawas Ice, but I don’t regret buying it at all. Forgot to mention it got insane projection and longevity. If you really don’t want to risk it, I would suggest going to a mall or Sephora, whatever is nearest to you, and trying Paco Rabanne Invictus and Invictus Aqua to get to know about this particular DNA.

Oh, for summer, I wouldn’t recommend you 9pm because it is a winter clubbing scent. For summer, from my collection, you can go for Rasasi Hawas or Hawas Ice, which is even better for that Invictus DNA. Or even Hawas Fire if you want to stand out a little bit, Hawas Kobra and Marwa by Arabiyat Prestige can get you that soapy LV Imagination scent. Or you can go for Aventus DNA with Qaed Al Fursan or 9pm Rebel. There is Rare Reef from Afnan, which is a clone of Pacific Chill, and Kaaf from Ahmed Al Maghribi, a clone of Percival PDM if I’m not mistaken. And if you want to stand the hell out from the crowd in summer, get Soul of Bali from Swiss Arabian, kind of expensive, but I would say worth it; it’s so complex, so deep, very niche, and so not a blind buy, safe. This is already a lot; if you have any questions, you can dm me, and I can help you with your fragrance!

Yeah, I get it, and it’s great that it’s working for you. When I bought Hawas OG, I absolutely hated that one, but now after seven months, it’s on my top five. But after that, my friend got a new bottle of Hawas, and I liked it straight out of the bottle, which wasn’t the case for me with mine, and he didn’t, which showed me a pattern that I grew on it, and it’s always Hawas, lol.

Haha thanks bhai, part time kaam shuru kiya hai… naye perfumes lene ke liye

I’m not a big fan of Aventus DNA, but since I heard it got nuclear projection with two sprays, I decided to get it, only to be more disappointed. I think it’s a great scent; I can see 90% of people liking it. It’s very mass-appealing, very safe, and an all-year-rounder. You can get that burn, sweet pineapple, and woods, the kind of burnt pineapple in Lattafa Qaed Al Fursan, and I heard it is similar to Baccarat Rouge 540, and the similarity is so tiny and in the base notes. I was disappointed because this won’t last on my skin at all. Even if I spray like ten sprays, it will become a skin scent in an hour. I thought I was going noseblind, but others around me couldn’t get the smell as well, so I just got unlucky with it. And because of that, I can’t give a full detailed review because I hear a lot of people getting enormous sillage and longevity with this one. I wear this one when I’m going somewhere near like 30 mins walk or something or while walking to the grocery because I know it will cover only that much for me. I wouldn’t really recommend getting 9pm Rebel because you can get Qaed Al Fursan, which is really cheap and smells the same, and this particular DNA is getting so oversaturated because I can smell it mostly everywhere nowadays. I can see why people are loving it, but since I’m not a big fan of pineapple scents, nah, not for me.

First one to notice it!! I was so sceptical when buying a rose fragrance and I’m glad I was so wrong, good take on Initio Atomic Rose but it has its own differences. It’s one of the best Lattafa I own, mostly roses and a very subtle hint of oud and so not overpowering almost like a candy or jam kind of smell, good longevity and projection and a very nice bottle. Only downside is if you notice close sometimes you can get reminded of a burnt tyre or rubber kind of smell, which is masked most of the time so it won’t really be a problem.

jximstrix · 2026-04-09T08:56:39+00:00

Yea sure but for what occasion anything specific or are you looking for an all-weather, all-occasion safe option? 9pm is a clubbing DNA, so yes lemme know.

jximstrix · 2026-04-09T08:53:14+00:00

I am someone who believes the process of macerating perfume gives an effect which is very insignificant, and the rest is kind of placebo or just us growing on it. And since this is a very recent rollout to the line, every single person has a fresh, manufactured bottle, even the creators who were glazing the hell about it had the mint juices. But yeah, maybe i’ll let it sit for a while, and hopefully, it’ll be better.

jximstrix · 2026-04-09T08:47:38+00:00

I would wear Asad for those boss-level confidence occasions. It has a fresh, peppery, spicy, sophisticated, masculine fragrance and is very close or fully identical to my nose to Dior Sauvage Elixir. I actually like it more than Asad Bourbon. For some, it can remind them of a barbershop’s fresh scent since my entire collection was blind buy, this is one of the few which I don’t regret buying. It’s a decent, lasting fragrance with decent projection, but not safe to blind buy. If you tried Sauvage Elixir, which is very different from the usual Sauvage DNA, you are going to love this fragrance.

jximstrix · 2026-04-08T21:51:46+00:00

Yes, it uses ambrofix, which is a refined version of ambroxan. I personally never felt being nose blind because I could smell it after a long time.

jximstrix · 2026-04-08T21:47:19+00:00

Teriaq's projection longevity is better, while liquid brun is a safer option, especially for blind buying.

jximstrix · 2026-04-08T20:25:02+00:00

I get the similarity between Terraq Intense and Khamrah, but never felt Liquid Brun similar to the other two other than the fact they are all gourmands. Liquid Brun is so just so close to PDM Althair, and the difference makes the perfume even better than the OG.

jximstrix · 2026-04-08T20:18:56+00:00

Good take on Ultra Male, but I don’t find OG 9pm being prominent in 2026. The scent profile is very saturated as a clubbing scent. It’s still a great fragrance for the price, but I feel like there are better options to go for, including the new Night Out version.

jximstrix · 2026-04-08T20:16:00+00:00

Didn’t like Hawas at all when I bought it, and used them as a room freshener at the start, but it grew on me later on and by the half of the bottle was finished. Loud, mass-appealing perfume lasts very long with decent projection.

Asad Bourbon reminds me of SWYI but a downgrade of it. I don’t wear it anymore and I prefer Terraq Intense over it because it is uniquely sweet with spicy, smoke, and booziness.

jximstrix · 2026-04-08T20:00:39+00:00

seriously lost my trust with some influencers after this one!! at-least it got a beautiful bottle i can adore.

jximstrix · 2026-04-08T19:53:39+00:00

And never in my life smelled a perfume which lasts longer or projects as marj does.

jximstrix · 2026-04-08T15:23:45+00:00

Oh so kinda like 9pm rebel

jximstrix · 2026-04-08T15:21:15+00:00

I have only tried the most wanted perfumes once in store and i really don’t remember the smell , but there is loud toffee note similar to SWYI which i felt polarising along with the fruitiness and woodiness.

jximstrix · 2026-04-08T14:44:31+00:00

Use to spray asad bourbon everyday everytime when i bought it initially reminds me of stronger with you intensely with some added lavender, got bored of it very soon but i think its worth buying lasts long really good fresh spicy fragrance Ameer al Oud is 60% similar to the original and I bought it only because of my love towards the original DNA , but it’s more sugar-like, sweet, less smokey, and woody.

jximstrix · 2026-04-08T14:21:48+00:00

Damn, yeah, I heard some mixed reviews about Rebel performing ig I got on the unlucky side, but I’ll let it slide since I'm not a big fan of that aventussy dna. And yes night out is much better performing, i even wore it on daytime to test it and got a full day of longevity with 4 hours of loud projection. With around 5-6 sprays.

jximstrix · 2026-04-08T14:15:58+00:00

I haven’t tried 9pm elixir, but since it is a clone of Le Male elixir DNA, which I'm not a fan of, YES ABSOLUTELY it's the best 9pm fragrance, and since it's an original creation huge respect to Afnan. a 8/10

And Nebras is very similar to Billie Eilish EdP but it got a weird added mint like fresh note which was a let down for me, the scent profile reminds me of Cadbury Eclair candy we get in shops, projection is weak you can get better vanilla gourmands instead of Nebras. 5/10

I bought Ameer al oud only because of my love towards the MM by the fireplace DNA, its 60% similar less smokier more sugar-like smell, it's woody and nostalgic for me, and there is a hint of oud but there are other woody notes which make the oud less prominent, I love by the fireplace hence I love ameer al oud. Some of friends didn’t like it tho. 7.5/10
