Wife & Friends Review: Afnan 9 PM vs. Ramz Silver (Ultra Male Clones ₹2600 VS ₹1300)
Ever dreamt of smelling like a million bucks without breaking the bank? Look no further than designer fragrance dupes! Today, we put two popular contenders to the test: Afnan 9 PM and Ramz Silver. Both claim to be inspired by the iconic Jean Paul Gaultier Ultra Male, but with a significant price difference (₹2600 for Afnan 9 PM vs. ₹1300 for Ramz Silver). Here's the surprising twist: despite their different price tags, the smell profile of both fragrances turned out to be remarkably similar!
*The Mission:* We enlisted a crack team of fragrance detectives - my wife and friends! Unaware of the brands or prices, they sniffed their way through both scents, judging them on aroma, performance, and overall appeal.
*The Scents in Focus:*
* *Afnan 9 PM:* This fragrance boasts a fresh, fruity opening with notes of apple and pear. It transitions into a heart of lavender, cinnamon, and mint, finishing with a base of amber, vanilla, and woodsy notes.
* *Ramz Silver:* This one leans closer to the original Ultra Male with a prominent blast of pear and lavender at the start. The heart offers a mix of cinnamon, mint, and tonka bean, while the base features a familiar blend of amber, vanilla, and woods.
*The Blind Test:*
Each participant received two labeled blotter strips, unknowingly containing Afnan 9 PM and Ramz Silver. While the scents themselves were very close, a crucial difference emerged:
*Performance:*
Here's where things got interesting. After wearing the fragrances for a few hours, we revisited the participants to gauge their experience:
* *Wife:* "Both scents smell very similar, but the first one (Afnan 9 PM) seems to last longer and project further. The second one (Ramz Silver) fades a bit quicker."
* *Friend 1:* "I agree! The first one (Afnan 9 PM) definitely packs a punch! The second one (Ramz Silver) is a bit weaker, and I can barely smell it anymore."
* *Friend 2:* "The scents are close, but the first one (Afnan 9 PM) seems more well-blended and powerful."
*The Shocking Twist:*
Now for the surprise! When asked which fragrance they preferred, all participants unanimously chose strip A, which unbeknownst to them, contained Afnan 9 PM. They found it to be:
* Stronger and longer-lasting
* More well-blended and smooth
* A better value for money considering its superior performance
*The Verdict:*
This blind test revealed some unexpected results! While both Afnan 9 PM and Ramz Silver offered similar scent profiles inspired by Ultra Male, Afnan 9 PM emerged as the clear winner in terms of longevity, projection, and overall user experience. Interestingly, despite the higher price tag, Afnan 9 PM actually proved to be the better value for money due to its superior performance.
*The Takeaway:*
This experiment highlights the importance of considering both scent and performance when choosing a fragrance. Even within the realm of designer dupes, there can be significant variations in quality and longevity. Afnan 9 PM demonstrates that sometimes, paying a bit more can translate to a well-blended, long-lasting fragrance that offers excellent value.
