What Wearers Say
Afnan 9PM Pour Femme
One wearer enjoys its raspberry-and-apple freshness over soft woods.
Another wearer finds the hard-candy sweetness enjoyable rather than offensive.
One wearer finds the opening metallic and the overall scent too fresh and woody.
Another finds the rose too dominant for their taste.
Lancôme Idôle
One owner enjoys its fresh, clean rose character.
Another mini-bottle owner likes the juicy pear and green floral impression over musk.
One wearer now finds the rose too dominant and misses the pear they remember.
Another wearer finds it sharp and chemical on their skin.
The Verdict
Idôle is our pick for a clean, modern rose: pear and pink pepper on top, rose and jasmine in the middle, white musk and vanilla underneath. 9PM Pour Femme is busier, with raspberry, apple and violet over a rose-peony-iris heart, and then an unexpected base of cedar, cypress and pine. That conifer finish is the reason to choose it. If you want berries and a walk through a forest, 9PM Pour Femme is more fun.
