I have several of the original Angel Men (green star) formulations and the rest of the iterations following. In my humble opinion, they are all wonderful. The original Angel Men is nuclear and the following formulations that read Thierry Mugler A*Men on the box are not to far behind. The MUGLER version may be a little lighter and the longevity a little shorter, but not by much. It is one of my all time favorite fragrances. I have so many memories tied to this one, sooooooo many:) Have a great day.
I've actually been waiting for a Star Men Havane or Tonka because I hate having to use juice out of my bottles. Fortunately when it comes to Pure Coffee, I just layer my old A*Men or Cuba Prestige with Fragrance World's Qahwa and it's even better than the Mugler. Not even kidding. You ain't kidding about clone prices though. Crazy how they've doubled and even tripled in the last decade in response to both demand and the economic downturn.
@@eaudetreasure Agreed. I have one of the original bottles and always recommended it as part of a starter's collection. Really good performance and the sweetness isn't over the top. Interestingly, I notice virtually no difference from the day I got it. Not like some of these newer middle eastern dupes that need time to get better. Incidentally, I just picked up Alhambra's Ebene (a Babycat take), and it's surprisingly solid right out of the box. But it's virtually all base accords so it's kinda no wonder. But very pleasing smoky vanilla that I would imagine might layer well with something from the A*Men line.
You should be looking for a*men first formula. (Thierry Mugler not Mugler). Or at least a pre-2016 formula when they've changed it to Mugler. It's an awesome juice, worth to have.
Let me know how it is after a month. I just have a decant left, I sold mine. And, about to record a part two of this video with Blue Sky For Men as a comparison.
I completely agree the prices on these clones are a bit ridiculous and seeing them come down to about 20 25 dollars thats all i'm gonna pay or i will just buy a sample 😂😂😂
That’s not the original mate. That’s reformulated L’Oréal version. The original should have Thierry Mugler both box and bottle button instead of just ‘Mugler’.

Thank you so much! I agree that this one has great performance. Even the modern ones, for me. I haven't seen a vintage bottle, not in Japan.
im so excited for pure malt clone :D
I tried two of them and both are quite good. Video is coming down the road.
@eaudetreasure thank you!

I agree. How do you feel about Reyane Insurrection Wild 2? I think it's fantastic.

Hard to get in Japan. My eyes are open for that.
I have the same batch star men and it lasts 6 hours at first spray, now i'm gonna let it macerate for three weeks and see if it changes

They just released A*Men Fantasm for men, so A*Men line is not dead.
Thank heavens for that.

I'd say some of them, the exceptional ones, I'd go into the $30s.
De qué año es ese A*men?
No tengo ni idea. Creo que tiene entre 6 y 10 años.
gotta keep in mind that the original version you have there, is one hell of a mess of a reformulated fragrance.
That’s not the original mate.
That’s reformulated L’Oréal version.

@@ahaastrup5635 that's what i said, It's not the original like he mentioned, but a way worse reformulated batch.
@@GrandCamo I do agree.
The L’Oréal version is a sad reformation.
@@ahaastrup5635 I have a non-empty 2017 bottle I think, and even this version is so much different than before that.
I love this one, as it is. When I say "original" I mean not the flankers. I'd love to get one from the 90's or 2000's.
