Rose. A very simple and beautiful rose scent.
No wild combinations like Rose/Oud, Rose/Vanilla, or Rose/Cinnamon, Coffee, etc...
It is simply a straightforward, fresh/floral, and creamy rose scent. Very well done.
I say this because Lattafa released a rose scent with "Oud Mood | Lattafa / لطافة" that I really do not like at all. Until now, I thought that rose could simply smell good, until I smelled "Oud Mood | Lattafa / لطافة"...
But no. The rose from "Rouat Ajial | Lattafa / لطافة" is a very beautiful, sensual, and creamy rose. Just as it should be.
The saffron gives it a slightly pleasant sweetness. The amber/musk base seems to ensure that it feels so fresh and creamy.
The scent simply convinces me because it is so simple ^^
Longevity and sillage are above average but manageable.
The price at 16€ is of course unbeatable, and it is definitely worthy of a blind buy without any problems. Anyone can appreciate such a beautiful and simple rose scent. Of course, it is also wearable for women.
I had to buy it blind, as there were no statements or reviews about it. I certainly do not regret the purchase, even though such a blind buy without any reviews could have backfired.
I hope that with this review, I could shed some light on the darkness. I can definitely recommend it without hesitation ^^

I am amazed
It smells exactly 1 to 1 like 
Interlude Man …
Interlude Man was my very first niche fragrance. Accordingly, the perfume means a lot to me. I still have my bottle from 2019. I love wearing it, but since I don't want to finish it too quickly, I only wear it on special occasions.
Even though I prefer sweet scents, I particularly identify withInterlude Man … for a long time I wanted to wear it as my “signature scent” … but the considerable price unfortunately puts a damper on that ^^
And here comes "Midnight Oud (Eau de Parfum) | Ard Al Zaafaran / ارض الزعفران التجارية" into play!
I am truly amazed by the dupe quality! I - as a lover ofInterlude Man - can hardly see a difference between the two. At least in terms of scent. They really smell 95-98% identical.
The longevity is good. Really very good! But not as BRUTALLY good asInterlude Man. For the price, however, it's acceptable.
Only in terms of sillage do you make some minor compromises here and there.Interlude Man is very room-filling, which unfortunately cannot be said about "Midnight Oud (Eau de Parfum) | Ard Al Zaafaran / ارض الزعفران التجارية". It lasts long… but for the most part, it stays rather close to the body… yet it is still clearly recognizable… I don't know how to describe it… but it is more of a perceived problem. For this price, it really performs very well, so I don't want to be too harsh on it.
You can easily counteract this by overspraying it, which you can do without hesitation at this price (18€), and then the issue with the sillage is already resolved.
Don't get me wrong. The sillage is only slightly weaker in direct comparison to the original. However, it is definitely stronger than the average designer fragrance.
So… overall I am satisfied… yes, even VERY satisfied. Definitely one of the best perfume purchases, as I have simply come to loveInterlude Man ^^

Fruity Shampoo with a Lot of Synthetics
The scent smells like a fruity shampoo. Light shower gel vibes. Additionally, it comes across as very synthetic from the start…
The synthetics fade a little from time to time. However, the fruity shampoo vibe remains.
Based on that, one might think you smell like you just stepped out of the shower or something…. Well…
The fragrance has no special development. It remains monotonous throughout until it finally fades away.
…
The sillage and longevity are solid. However, other Lattafas last significantly longer.
…
So I don’t know… if this is what
Kirkè Extrait de Parfum is supposed to smell like, then I can save myself the trouble of sniffing it. (According to some reviews, it is said to be inspired by it)…
Well…
I mean… it doesn’t smell particularly… has no twist in the development… but… it definitely doesn’t smell terrible. It just smells like shampoo. If someone wants that, they can certainly go for it at this price (15-20€). However, for me, the scent is nothing. At least not in winter. I’ll see how it performs at +20°C… I guess I’ll have to wait for summer. But as it stands now, I wouldn’t recommend it nor would I advise against purchasing it.

An Unbiased Review
First of all: I have never smelled "Ultra Mâle | Jean Paul Gaultier." Therefore, I can evaluate 
9pm without bias.
The fragrance starts off very spicy. This is likely due to the cinnamon note. Cinnamon is clearly noticeable at the beginning. However - at first - it is very "vibrant."
Furthermore, the scent is initially fresh/sweet. It has that typical designer freshness, which, to be honest, bores me by now. Apparently due to the typical designer apple-bergamot combo…
This all settles down after a few minutes, and it becomes less and less "designer-fresh" over time. What remains is a spicy sweetness that lasts for hours.
After a few hours, one primarily perceives only apple/cinnamon, amber, and sweetness. A vanilla/tonka bean-heavy sweetness that I really enjoy towards the end and also smells a little bit gourmand ^^
The fragrance definitely has a complex development; you have to give it that.
Sillage and longevity are definitely above average!
The bottle is really heavy. Not overly stylish, but the liquid inside makes up for the design.
Value for money at €22 is unbeatable. I would even say that I no longer need designer fragrances.9pm does this very well, lasts long, and is affordable. What more could you want? So you can buy it blindly without hesitation. That's what I did anyway.
Clear recommendation ^^

Creamy Coconut/Vanilla Combo
The scent starts off lightly fruity leaning towards coconut. The vanilla comes through very creamy, which I really like.
"The Collector - Zafeer Oud Vanille | Alexandre.J" also has the same combo with vanilla and coconut, but there I find the coconut too weak and the vanilla too harsh.
On the other hand, "Thameen Collection - Fakhar | Lattafa / لطافة" has a fruitier coconut and the vanilla is sweeter and creamier.
So I definitely prefer this combo much more ^^
The bottle is very nicely designed and is small and compact. It fits in any bag, can be taken anywhere, and can be sprayed on at any time. I like it.
Sillage is above average. Solid.
Price/performance is unbeatable at €10 for 30ml. Absolute bargain. I can highly recommend it ^^
