A surprise that matures over time

My relationship with 9am Dive has changed significantly over time. Initially, I was not entirely convinced - I had even written a statement reflecting my opinion at the time. The fragrance didn't initially seem to live up to my expectations. But after some time, during which it sat untouched in my collection, I gave it a second chance and was pleasantly surprised.

In contrast to my first experience, where the fragrance evaporated quickly and did not unfold clearly, I realized that 9am Dive needed some time to mature. After these months, the fragrance had somehow changed. The freshness, which initially seemed almost one-dimensional, was now complex and multi-layered. Instead of individual notes, I now perceived a harmonious overall picture in which every nuance blended into a convincing whole.

What had changed in particular was the longevity and sillage. Originally rather unobtrusive, the fragrance now had a presence that was both persistent and striking. This positive development surprised me, as it is rare for a perfume to 'evolve' so clearly.

This experience with 9am Dive has taught me an important lesson: Fragrances can change and evolve over time. What may initially appear as a lack of depth can later turn out to be a rich and well-rounded profile. Today, 9am Dive is a fragrance I cherish - for its mutability and the way it has evolved over time. It's an example of how patience can pay off, especially in the world of perfume.

Overall, 9am Dive is now an impressive fragrance in my collection. It combines a pleasant freshness with a depth and longevity that makes it ideal for different occasions and moods. It is a perfume that shows how a first impression can change and deserves a second chance.

That's totally true.
I didn't think the 9 pm was so special at first either, but it's a bomb! The Afnans probably need some time.

Is that really the case with 9pm? I've just bought it and to be honest I'm disappointed with the longevity and sillage. Do you think I should just leave it for a while?

It sounds almost to me like you tried this fragrance in the cold weather initially & then u came back to it around warmer weather & it got better. The sun & heat probably heated up much better on the skin & had a chance to show all the layers it had.
