    I love Thierry Mugler A-men!! My mother brought me the fragrance with the metal case in 2009.Memories of my mother.She passed away in October of 2018.I have fond memories of this fragrance. She loved the Women's version and wore it often. I would buy it for her.

    How about a "10 Worst Armaf Releases" video? I think some of their other decent clones are Tres Nuit (Cool Water/Green Irish Tweed) and CDNI Women (TF Noir de Noir). As far as BR540 goes, the best clone so far may have been "Red Temptation" by Zara. It was said to be strong and last for a long time, too. Unfortunately, like too many of their better ones, once they sold out around the world, they never cooked up another batch.

    Hi Ash, great content. Quick question. Tom Ford Oud wood has terrible longevity and sillage when I use it (even if I bath in the body spray too). Is the body oil a better option to increase longevity and sillage, or does it perform in a similar fashion?
