i saw once you said your bottle was finished and you didnt want to buy a new bottle coz you were enjoying something else at that moment.now you got the Amen again...nice :) its been a pleasure taking that journey with your channel and group man
A*Men to me is quite an evocative fragrance. Picture european Christmas market on a brisk December day, crisp mint in the opening reminiscent of fresh snow, wafts of caramelized almonds, the chocolate, wafts of vanilla from a nearby crepes stand, cotton candy, honey nougat, mulled wine with red berries and an abundance of twinkling lights. A true comfort scent (I wear it only in winter, because that's when it comes to life). Thank you for the review, big thumbs up, as always!
@@sergeallen6610I highly recommend trying a Pure Malt clone called “Star Men Nebula” by Fragrance World. I never had the original Pure Malt but every review I’ve watch on “Star Men Nebula”, the reviewer has tried Pure Malt and they claim that it’s like 90-95% the same scent. I’m obsessed with it now, it has easily become my favorite scent that I own!
This is my all-time favorite. I feel like such a champion when I wear it. My confidence is through the roof! No other fragrance has yet to make me feel like that. It's the one that made me a fragrance-lover And their newest one, Kryptomint is on dry-down, basically an A-Men you can wear in warmer weather. Thanks for this review.
The very first formulation is a brown gray colored juice- absolutely breathtaking ! Rich caramel candy apple opening with earthy sexiness after 20 minutes. I smelled this in 2001 and just bought a vintage 1998 in 2021- smelling it on my arm my god the nostalgia. Formulation 1 rivals the overhyped pure malt.
I had the same initial dislike for this scent. A gal at the department store was telling me to try Amen > Sprayed my wrist and a couple of paper strips > I didn't like it at all. And then a few hours later I was on my computer at my desk and I was smelling something that was just plain heavenly . I couldn't figure out what it was and I realized I had set the paper test strips in a container on top of my desk. And now 7 years later it is still my daily scent. This is all I wear end of story. I spray it on every morning > Even if I'm staying home for the day. I LOVE it. Now it is just like a part of me. But yes > The initial spray can be quite strange. But I'm so used to it now. And about 20 minuets later it becomes amazing. And when the scent does wind down and start to fade away the patchouli notes shine through and linger but very lightly > I don't even think about buying any other cologne >
@@brianbdawg3059to each their own. I’m also not the biggest fan of the original, but just from what I’m seeing online as I research it now (it’s discontinued)- it sounds like it definitely had a cult following.
Excellent take. This is my favorite Mugler, and my favorite gourmand scent in general. Happy I have an older bottle that should take me forever to get through!
Great review as usual. Im pretty sure that most persons will fall in love with this cologne IF its given a chance. Like so many others I disliked it at first simply because I didnt give it a chance to develop on my skin and so I didnt experience the stages of development and in particular the scrumptious and uniquely pleasant dry down. I revisited it several years later, with, admittedly, a more trained nose, and a willingness to test it properly. Suffice to say...I fell in love with the scent in its entirety which has become far and away my most cherished fragrance of a large collection (including several of its flankers). Its complexity and performance is incomparable at its price point. An absolute masterpiece in perfumery and a timeless classic.
First of all Thank You for this review.I was very curious how the original A-Men smelled. I never in my life owned the original. I have 3 of the flankers. You convinced me to buy it. I know it's not strong as it once was. That first spray was whoooooa.. But after the dry down on my skin. Absolutely amazing can't wait for cooler weather. Thanks again...🤙🏾
I have both Cuba Prestige and A*Men, and honestly nothing beats the original. It smells especially good during a harsh winter. The scent I define it as Icy, then when you get inside it warms to a smooth vanilla
I'm getting really into fragrances and I always end up on your videos! Many other reviewers get very egotistical but you are very likable! Just subscribed thank you for being so informative all the time
I am happy to see an updated review of this fragrance! It does smell good! Great job. I don't know about reformulations butI just bought the 100 ml refill bottle after 20 years and yes it last about 6 hours which is fine for me. Projects about 18 inches which is good for me. It is not really beast mode but I don't need that. People who don't know about the original formulation won't mind. Just a great smell that needs to be re applied after 5 hours or so. Also it is more versatile nowadays. You can wear it any season of the year.
The opening is hideous, middle is sweet/dirty old man, dry down is addictive gourmand heaven which is the reason I bought one. Thanks for the reviews Steven, much appreciated. Good day Sir, happy new year.
Foreverlux usually has the best prices of all the online fragrance discounters. They carry a lot of testers too but they’re go out of stock fast. I sign up for email notifications for when products get replenished and I do receive emails when products are back in-stock.
I smelled a LOT of fragrances , every time I find myself missing this one ! It’s THE BEST fragrance ever created , so unique, so delicious! I think it’s perfect for clubbing ! every time I smell it , I smile
This has the best Base Notes in cologne history. I can smell mainly vanilla for a good 6+ hrs. It is so heavenly. A few of my other favorites are Paco Rabanne XS, Lacoste 12 12 White, Dolce Gabbana Light Blue. They all last on me personally for a super long time. I did 7 sprays of Paco Rabanne XS and I could still smell it 9 hrs later after I woke up lol.
At 1:47, the *batch code of PD 15314* is visible. That's a batch date of Nov. 10, 2015. What's interesting is that it's the same batch coded bottle I purchased from Target dot com during their 2016 holiday sale. Target uses Perfume-Worldwide as their distributor (aka Scentmonkey). This gives a bit of creedence to my theory that many of the discounters are using the same 4 or 5 distributors. Some may not even actually have much stock and just have their distributor dropshp the bottles. Our bottles look the same with just the first two letters of the batch code on the top of the bottle (PD). I was hoping you showed the bottom of the rubber flask. I don't see the PD15314 batch code etched in mine. Earlier releases had two batch codes on the bottom of the box and a longer 7 digit code on the bottom of the bottle. Since my bottle had the Mugler Circle Club code on the inside which allowed me to sign up, I assumed the bottle was legit. By the way, Basenotes has the *tar* note listed as a middle note and not a top not: Top Notes Bergamot, Helonial, Lavender, Peppermint Heart Notes Coffee Bean, Tar, Patchouli Base notes Tonka Bean, Vanilla, Caramel, Chocolate, Musk Do you really find the top notes that sweet? My feeling is that anyone who loves the classics will love the opening of this as well as the changes whereas those who are used to the post 2000 fragrances won't be crazy about this. I'll post this to a recent video, too but have you considered sending a demo video to the local morning TV shows for the holidays as "the cologne guy" who recommends the perfect holiday gift scent for a loved one? I can see you as a regular holiday morning guest. Excellent review as usual but please start mentioning batch codes and dates!
Late to the party on this but thanks to his review which I trust, I’m going to try some. One of the fragrances worth mentioning that gets little play and is a great winter scent is John Varvatos Dark Rebel Rider. If you enjoy leather in a smooth, refined presentation, you will like this one. It has an Olibanum (Frankincense) note that some find odd, but like the tar note in this one, it is faint, but it works somehow.
This and kouros , 💯 get compliments every time I spray and go out . I am NOT exaggerating !!! All the sweet , aqua crap out these days, you want to smell masculine beautiful .. guys get this ! Got the gold metallic refillable version … love it ! Kouros .., another one that’s been out for years .. musky giants these two
Wow. Angel Men after all these years. Hahahaha. Brilliant, as always. Unfortunately the audio and the video doesn't sync for me. I don't know why. Just check if you face a similar problem. Once again, good job. Can't wait to get this one to start off the Angel Men collection
Man, the "Grandaddy" of gourmands. And when I happen to wear A Men as of late, I ask myself, "This is a gourmand? Not sweet enuff!" It just seems so tame as of late. Of course here I am wearing PF's Aqua e Zucchero, an even sweeter juice! But A Men is a true classic. Great review, thanks!
When I was younger couldn't stand it but gave it another change 4-5 years later and I love it... also love the tar note everyone talks about! Love love love!! Surprised to see you hadn't reviewed this one yet!
Thanks for this! I am a massive perfume head and really detailed descriptions of scents do it for me. I like how you have also broken down how to tell if it's an original. Wanted to buy an A*Men flanker for someone.
First time I met my husband. He was wearing this smells like cotton candy didn't know it was him couse his 10ft away. Love it this ever since bought him 2 of this in his b day and our anniversary. Again excellent review as always.!
I have pure malt that I got for Christmas. So far I'm loving it. I may get this one this week. Insert generic copy and paste reply. Thanks for watching and commenting! Lol
Yeah you definitely did I'll link you to a good ebay seller he sells legit testers for like 30 bucks. I just got mine today. Definitely a genuine bottle. www.ebay.com/itm/AMEN-by-Mugler-EDT-For-Men-Refillable-Rubber-3-4oz-100ml-NEW-IN-TST-BOX/233701390550?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20180816085401%26meid%3Def8bbaa762eb45c5aad5c9ee60a7b2a7%26pid%3D100970%26rk%3D10%26rkt%3D15%26mehot%3Dnone%26sd%3D233134499568%26itm%3D233701390550%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057%26brand%3DThierry+Mugler&_trksid=p2380057.c100970.m5481&_trkparms=pageci%3A57b12dbe-3c33-11eb-8983-7aadce336392%7Cparentrq%3A553aadee1760aaecf68634dafffc6348%7Ciid%3A1
Funny thing is that the bottle you showcase thats empty at 1:00 is the bottle i purchased... i hadnt even got halfway through it before my friend broke it while testing it out. He accidently dropped it, i never required him to get me a new one.. it was whatever... and i havn't got to purchasing a new one.... but this one just makes me happy whenever i smell or wear it..... Its gorgeous and some perfumes you just wear for yourself... and not for others... even though others tend to love this on me aswell!
Also that bottle showcases how good the sprayer actually is with the rubber prevents from being showcased.. I own pure havane and i cut around the sprayer and the sprayer works wonders!
Buy it yall ‼️ it smells good I ain’t gone lie when you first spray it it smells like caramel and leather! But it changes into a sweet cookie/caramel smell within 5 minutes 😌
just wore it the other day from Macy's , magic of coffee chocolate patchouli masculine woody sexy must have its so unique compared to whats offered today a staple in any true collection!
I got a bottle of this from CVS and the perfume was green instead of blue! It was definitely the A*Men with the black rubber case and not Kryptomint. It was a blind buy so I don't know if it smells like A*Men lol. Anyone out there know anything about this?
You mentioned that you put on Angel Men whenever you have a sweet tooth. I get the same feeling and start looking for the women's Angel line. Good to know I'm not the only one who does this.
@@Redolessence- And you truly did. . I see your fragrance line loved a lot in the UK. . I myself am from Denmark, and have a lot of friends in UK, they praise your stuff a lot. You are very good Steven. I still say to this Day, you and Steve Carell are very look a like. Hehe
quick thing I received a bottle that's says amen and mugler in big letters below but not the name Thierry Mugler and that's it . Never seen that design on the packaging box before . Yet the other bottle bought from same shop has the usual design amen then below Thierry mugler .
Love amen have been wearing it for many years I think they took the tar note out so it's not as "dirty"..Still quite potent compared to other designer fragrances...but pure Tonka is even stronger!!
I used to love this, and still do to an extent, but one day I had quite the leakage come from the bottle. When you get a lot of this fragrance in your nose, it smells like Carmex! I can't smell this without thinking of that now :/
I haven't tried this one in a long time. I am assuming they reformulated it since I last had my bottle.. Judging by the original formulation... THis still is my favorite in the line.. I used to wear one or two sprays and it would last me all day and not overpower.... that is what made it great as well... im happy to hear the performance isn't too bad, i heard from some people that they watered it down to shit... People have this silly notion that a fragrance being too strong is a bad thing.. Its never a bad thing.. U can always use less.. I never choked anyone out with A*men or lidge.. just that the bottles lasted me for years which isn't in anyone's interest who sells..
I don't get a "tar note" per se, but I do get substantial animalic cat pee. That is probably part of what's called the "tar note". There is no tar note listed, nor tar accord listed, that I can see, so I'm wondering if it's just an unintended accord, sort of like the gasoline accord in Dior Farenheit. To me it smells like you put all the gourmand notes in a bowl - the vanilla, coffee, honey, caramel, and then have your cat pee in the gourmand bowl. And even though I'm usually scared off by animalic notes, I like this. Especially in the drydown. I suppose the pee smell is from the musk. What else could it be? Another example of animalics used well.
Hi .. i am living in city that have temperature between (35c to 45c ) . but am working in office so that means temperature is( 20c to 27c ) can i wear this perfume ? or i have to wait winter? . and what about if i spray 3 time in same spot in 3 places in clothes ? so that is 9 sprays . it is not for this perfume i means for all perfume .. thanks .
I would probably wait until the winter, but if you're wearing this one indoors, I think you can get away with a light application; something close to 4 sprays or so. Thanks for watching!
i have now pure malt amen and ultra zest and soon i,m getting pure havane but i like both amen and pure malt and i think pure havane is a bit better smooth smelling
My goodness I sprayed this on my arm at Macy's and can't stop smelling myself lol. I'll be getting this in the fall. Need to get my nose on spicebomb too
Hi! My husband loves Angel Muse EDP on me and he asked if there is a male version of this. Will you please help me finding a male version or simile to my Angel muse? Thank you 😊
Admittedly A*Men is no longer in my top 10 but it’s a legendary classic. Anytime it’s worn it’s given high praises by both sexes. Definitely a fall,winter/ evening scent. If complements make you uncomfortable STAY AWAY.
I’m having issues with longevity and projection with this fragrance. I’ve tried multiple sources and they are definitely fake. The last one is also the silver flask original formulation. Does anybody else have this problem?
I got this in 2010 from Australia still have a little bit left of it in 2021 after not using it for over 7 years it still smells the same and it smells sooo nice wish i could find some more of it but its not cheap :(
I bought an Angel after watch your review. And after sniff its sample in perfume shop, I hate it, but after several times sniff, I know I gotta have this one, hahahaha... This is my favorite fragrance. But too bad it just stay an hour to two on my skin, so I spray it on my shirt, so it last longer.
I always put one or two sprays on my chest and then pat my shirt against it. Scents always last longer on natural fibers like cotton or wool but not man made polyester.
@@mind-of-neo oh wow didn't remember i made this comment. It's nearly 3 years later and i am now a Mugler superfan. I own 2 Bottles of A men and then kryptomint, pure havane and pure malt. A men is my most worn Fragrance this winter. Simply a masterpiece!
@@patrickbateman4541 Ha! Sorry i didnt even realize how old this comment was! Thats great that youve found frangrances you really love. I have never even heard of kryptomint, i gotta look into it
@@mind-of-neo Krypto is awesome but more so spring and summer. It's basically A men with the caramel note removed and an added cool mint/peppermint note. So you still get the Patchouli based Angel DNA 🙏🏻 Get your nose on it online asap, think it is truly limited edition.
i saw once you said your bottle was finished and you didnt want to buy a new bottle coz you were enjoying something else at that moment.now you got the Amen again...nice :) its been a pleasure taking that journey with your channel and group man
Thank you so much. The pleasure is all mine. It's great having support from people such as yourself.
always bro always...you are one of our Big inspirations, on the journey...always love your work, have a nice day
He said he was using Cuba Prestige instead. i get a more chocolate vibe from Cuba Prestige.
A*Men to me is quite an evocative fragrance. Picture european Christmas market on a brisk December day, crisp mint in the opening reminiscent of fresh snow, wafts of caramelized almonds, the chocolate, wafts of vanilla from a nearby crepes stand, cotton candy, honey nougat, mulled wine with red berries and an abundance of twinkling lights.

Funny how that happens, huh? Thank you for watching!
That's how I feel about the old Azzaro Pour Homme and Wanted as well. But in reverse. Don't like them like I used to

I did 7 sprays of Paco Rabanne XS and I could still smell it 9 hrs later after I woke up lol.
Just bought the set 3.4 Fl oz for $40 @ Marshalls!!! Love the scent
Here's an idea: Can you do a "classics" series? Lets say about 10 of the most important modern fragrances (with comments on flankers of course)?
Or with a separate video on flankers, even better!
Great idea!
Redolessence Yeah! You should do that Steven! Kind of like, Le Male and other more iconic fragrances.
Well get to it before others do it! :) Your way of presentation is really suited for it.
Just picked up two bottles, found it for a 60$ price tag, so couldn't resist.

Question: My box looks legit but the colour of the star looks like a pale green rather than that blue. Did I get a fake?
Yeah you definitely did I'll link you to a good ebay seller he sells legit testers for like 30 bucks. I just got mine today. Definitely a genuine bottle. www.ebay.com/itm/AMEN-by-Mugler-EDT-For-Men-Refillable-Rubber-3-4oz-100ml-NEW-IN-TST-BOX/233701390550?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20180816085401%26meid%3Def8bbaa762eb45c5aad5c9ee60a7b2a7%26pid%3D100970%26rk%3D10%26rkt%3D15%26mehot%3Dnone%26sd%3D233134499568%26itm%3D233701390550%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057%26brand%3DThierry+Mugler&_trksid=p2380057.c100970.m5481&_trkparms=pageci%3A57b12dbe-3c33-11eb-8983-7aadce336392%7Cparentrq%3A553aadee1760aaecf68634dafffc6348%7Ciid%3A1
The glass is clear but the juice is blue. Very suspicious
Funny thing is that the bottle you showcase thats empty at 1:00 is the bottle i purchased... i hadnt even got halfway through it before my friend broke it while testing it out. He accidently dropped it, i never required him to get me a new one.. it was whatever... and i havn't got to purchasing a new one.... but this one just makes me happy whenever i smell or wear it..... Its gorgeous and some perfumes you just wear for yourself... and not for others... even though others tend to love this on me aswell!
Also that bottle showcases how good the sprayer actually is with the rubber prevents from being showcased.. I own pure havane and i cut around the sprayer and the sprayer works wonders!
Buy it yall ‼️ it smells good I ain’t gone lie when you first spray it it smells like caramel and leather! But it changes into a sweet cookie/caramel smell within 5 minutes 😌
Thanks for sharing!
Excellent take,this is my favorite Mugler,have always one as a back-up:) !Thx once again for an awesome review mate,cheers
I own the reformulated version too and I think 2 sprays on the neck are good even for office (But not for daily use). Thanks for the review!
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Why not good for daily use???
just wore it the other day from Macy's , magic of coffee chocolate patchouli masculine woody sexy must have its so unique compared to whats offered today a staple in any true collection!
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Suit it is painted into a photo. Gorgeous fit. Uber classy
I smelled this today in the store and didn't buy it and regretted it all the way home. Now i'll go order it for a lot less :)
Yes! This one can be found online for a lot cheaper.
I just bought "Green Lover" by Lolita Lempicka and it is VERY similar to A*man from Mugler.
My signature perfume, love love love it! I also like the flankers, they look great on your shelf :)
Thank you for watching and commenting!
RiP TM. I only tried havane and pure malt yet to try amen
I got a bottle of this from CVS and the perfume was green instead of blue! It was definitely the A*Men with the black rubber case and not Kryptomint. It was a blind buy so I don't know if it smells like A*Men lol. Anyone out there know anything about this?
I wore amen,in high school.....but I'm sorry,its not the same,it doesn't give me the vibe as it did back then ...love your reviews as always ❤
Thank you for sharing!
I really love the opening myself, then the dry down is really great as well. I have an an early 2013 version.
i love the tar note
Thank you for watching and commenting!
my star juice dsn't look blue in colour why? its little greenish. bottle inside that is old formulation?
I love Thierry mugler I have all his fragrance except zest the is the only one I need and my collection but is not available
Wear them in good health!
You mentioned that you put on Angel Men whenever you have a sweet tooth. I get the same feeling and start looking for the women's Angel line. Good to know I'm not the only one who does this.
We think alike!
Wooow best review Steve !!And best parfume !!😌😌Best compliments everr!!!Thanks Steve
Thank you for watching and commenting!
You are such a great fragrance reviewer Steven. You should consider starting your own cologne company!
Thank you, Abdul! That's very nice of you!
@@Redolessence- And you truly did. . I see your fragrance line loved a lot in the UK. . I myself am from Denmark, and have a lot of friends in UK, they praise your stuff a lot.
You are very good Steven.
I still say to this Day, you and Steve Carell are very look a like. Hehe
quick thing I received a bottle that's says amen and mugler in big letters below but not the name Thierry Mugler and that's it . Never seen that design on the packaging box before . Yet the other bottle bought from same shop has the usual design amen then below Thierry mugler .
Yes, you received a newer bottle. Thierry Mugler had a name change, and it is now called just Mugler. I wouldn't worry!
Love amen have been wearing it for many years I think they took the tar note out so it's not as "dirty"..Still quite potent compared to other designer fragrances...but pure Tonka is even stronger!!
I used to love this, and still do to an extent, but one day I had quite the leakage come from the bottle. When you get a lot of this fragrance in your nose, it smells like Carmex! I can't smell this without thinking of that now :/
I'm thinking about getting this now. Would you say
It's still relevant these days?
I'm both an Angel and an Alien girl depending on the seasons. Angel being my cooler weather scent. I want my boyfriend to wear this lmao
Awesome!
Cool 😎
I haven't tried this one in a long time. I am assuming they reformulated it since I last had my bottle.. Judging by the original formulation... THis still is my favorite in the line.. I used to wear one or two sprays and it would last me all day and not overpower.... that is what made it great as well... im happy to hear the performance isn't too bad, i heard from some people that they watered it down to shit... People have this silly notion that a fragrance being too strong is a bad thing.. Its never a bad thing.. U can always use less.. I never choked anyone out with A*men or lidge.. just that the bottles lasted me for years which isn't in anyone's interest who sells..
It's an amazing juice... My favourite... Awesome review
I love it.
I don't get a "tar note" per se, but I do get substantial animalic cat pee. That is probably part of what's called the "tar note". There is no tar note listed, nor tar accord listed, that I can see, so I'm wondering if it's just an unintended accord, sort of like the gasoline accord in Dior Farenheit. To me it smells like you put all the gourmand notes in a bowl - the vanilla, coffee, honey, caramel, and then have your cat pee in the gourmand bowl. And even though I'm usually scared off by animalic notes, I like this. Especially in the drydown. I suppose the pee smell is from the musk. What else could it be? Another example of animalics used well.
It's at Macy's backstage for 60 seeing if it's worth it. I like unique scents so intrigued by mugler frags
I got a cheap Mugler Angel 50ml for 30$. I'm exited to smell it. I order it online and I'm still waiting.
Thanks for watching!
An icon of modern perfumery! LOVE IT!!!!! I'll wear it on my funeral....
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Leave me in your will. Just the good shit.
If one is going with the original King of Mugler, one should get the metal flask. Like a boss.
Too bad I missed out on my chance to get it.
i luv chanel bleu....is it for me
Thanks for watching. This is very different. This is much sweeter and a bit daring as well.
Chanel nailed it. Only one I buy EDP at department store.
Awesome review Steven. I'm wear the 1st generation right now. :)
Thanks, Daniel!
Welcome back!!! I was blown away from the RICHNESS of Cuba Prestige!! 👍 👍 🎉
It's a solid clone!
Hi .. i am living in city that have temperature between (35c to 45c ) . but am working in office so that means temperature is( 20c to 27c ) can i wear this perfume ? or i have to wait winter? . and what about if i spray 3 time in same spot in 3 places in clothes ? so that is 9 sprays . it is not for this perfume i means for all perfume .. thanks .
I would probably wait until the winter, but if you're wearing this one indoors, I think you can get away with a light application; something close to 4 sprays or so. Thanks for watching!
Thank for realy fast replay 😃.
foreverlux is awesome thanks for telling me about them... I just bought a tester of the burberry london and the shipping like you said is super quick
I got a tester and it's an identical smell to the womens perfume ?
i have now pure malt amen and ultra zest and soon i,m getting pure havane but i like both amen and pure malt and i think pure havane is a bit better smooth smelling
My goodness I sprayed this on my arm at Macy's and can't stop smelling myself lol. I'll be getting this in the fall. Need to get my nose on spicebomb too
And great video Steven I'm loving watching all of these
Nick B spicebomb was reformulatet and it is a shit now
Hi! My husband loves Angel Muse EDP on me and he asked if there is a male version of this. Will you please help me finding a male version or simile to my Angel muse? Thank you 😊
Great review but how does it compare to Play intense ?
Admittedly A*Men is no longer in my top 10 but it’s a legendary classic. Anytime it’s worn it’s given high praises by both sexes. Definitely a fall,winter/ evening scent. If complements make you uncomfortable STAY AWAY.
Would you consider this fragrance a winter or even a fall scent
I’m having issues with longevity and projection with this fragrance. I’ve tried multiple sources and they are definitely fake. The last one is also the silver flask original formulation. Does anybody else have this problem?
How do I get angel coffee perfume to buy
There a Top 10 Spring in the pipeline Steve?
Hey, George! Indeed there is!
If you layer Angel men with bananna republics black walnut you will be pleasantly surprised
Valente Leanos I'll try that
How about some of the Demeter fragrances like Pipe Tobacco?
I got this in 2010 from Australia still have a little bit left of it in 2021 after not using it for over 7 years it still smells the same and it smells sooo nice wish i could find some more of it but its not cheap :(
Discovered this in selfridges, used to wear paul smith before, 2 years ago - now this is the only aftershave I use
nice!
I bought an Angel after watch your review. And after sniff its sample in perfume shop, I hate it, but after several times sniff, I know I gotta have this one, hahahaha... This is my favorite fragrance. But too bad it just stay an hour to two on my skin, so I spray it on my shirt, so it last longer.
I always put one or two sprays on my chest and then pat my shirt against it. Scents always last longer on natural fibers like cotton or wool but not man made polyester.
Love this one along with pure malt , gonna give kryptomint a try tomorrow
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Received ultra zest today love it.
got samples of bois d argent and reflection man in love with both.
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Gourmands are my favourite group yet this isnt in.my collection. Must rectify this situation. Thanks Steven.
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Cant wait to get my 5ml decant of this! I love gourmands. Is it OK for colder summer days/nights? Love your content.
I think thats up to you to decide, if you think its nice for those times then use it
@@mind-of-neo oh wow didn't remember i made this comment. It's nearly 3 years later and i am now a Mugler superfan. I own 2 Bottles of A men and then kryptomint, pure havane and pure malt. A men is my most worn Fragrance this winter. Simply a masterpiece!
@@patrickbateman4541 Ha! Sorry i didnt even realize how old this comment was! Thats great that youve found frangrances you really love. I have never even heard of kryptomint, i gotta look into it
@@patrickbateman4541 Kryptomint sounds amazing!! I gotta try itAa
@@mind-of-neo Krypto is awesome but more so spring and summer. It's basically A men with the caramel note removed and an added cool mint/peppermint note. So you still get the Patchouli based Angel DNA 🙏🏻 Get your nose on it online asap, think it is truly limited edition.
