Thanks for this awesome review. Love the honesty, sarcasm and creativity!
You guys do great reviews - honest, helpful and funny. I'm subscribing :)
Great review Bros!!!
Thumps Up! FragranceBros! Keep up with the good job! I have fun with all your videos! Grettings from Mexico.
Dave, I remember smelling the original A* Men many years ago and could not stand in. After my fiance purchased Creed Original Santal for my birthday this year it re-ignited my love for fragrance. I soon came across your channel (amongst others) and started to look into them much more. I love all of your reviews for the honest opinions and what you do for community! Anyways I digress. So I finally got my nose on this, Pure Havane & Ultra Zest. It was literally love at first sniff. Also a few weeks back I sprayed A* Men on a card and could not stand the harsh opening but took the card home. After 10-15 mins and for the lifetime of the scent I fell in love with it! I'm not sure if it is because my nose has matured like with your taste buds but wow! I loved them all soo much I blind bought Pure Tonka and again I love this. I just wanted to say thanks for all of the videos and continue to do what you do! My wallet does not like me anymore :-) Thanks again...
Thanks for doing this one, guys! I really wanted the low-down on the differences. I have A*men and really like it. I really wanted to know how it's different from Pure Malt. I've heard so much hype about PM. Keep these coming! You guys rock!
I loooooooooove Pure Malt and I loooooved the review! In fact, I pulled it out to enjoy with this fantastic review, excellent as always =)
I also get the rubbery plastic smell as well as with pure havane but its great. Thanks for the videos and keep up the great work
Bought it today..... Lovely fragrance. Thanks Guys
got to have one of this stuff. thanks fragrance bros.
It reminds me of clean fabric. Fancy clothing store. Somewhat it reminds me of horses and hay in a beautiful farm field. I love this perception
I love it..I bought 2! I like the smell of Givenchy "Play" as well; kind of reminds me of this one
really surprised these and the rest of the pure line besides coffee is still available since july,great video guys
This one takes me back to November and a bit of December. Reminds me of Christmas shopping around a bunch of rude ass people, being stressed out and sweating.
Great review, as always. ;) This was my first blind buy. I had to get it when I saw it on Sephora and gladly I didn't regret it. Love this perfume, but I too get that plastic note, that sometimes irritates me a bit. Great fragrance though. Cheers from Germany
Nice review Bros. Please can you do a video about layering this on top of A*men. Dave mentioned that he has moderate longevity with this, Im sure this layered on A*men would be much more prominent and smell good too.
i so agree with you on this... i even bought my grandson a bottle whom is 13 for his birthday because he loves it so much, so happy the price is more reasonable, the only thing now is more people will be exposed to it,...i always liked being so unique..lol..take care , you guys give such great and heart felt reviews, i appreciate both of your observations. bravo!
If you guys like this, you should try that new bath and body works cologne called mahogany woods. The notes are different with a boozy vanilla and woody smell, but the vibe is similar. Most of their colognes are pretty bad, but that one is surprisingly good. Would love to hear your thoughts on that one if you get the chance to smell it Daver. Thanks for the always entertaining videos!
Love this stuff! I also get that plasticky vibe, though I almost have to look for it. It seems way in the background to me.
yeah. i emailed Mugler about it and a rep told me they were virtually identical and that '13 isn't available in the US
hope you like it!
Awesome review fragrance Bros. ,
As always brilliant,
Daver i know i always ask questions :D
But i will owe you once more if you guide me on this
In my country after alot of search ive found a online website which is solding PM , but seller told me the box of perfume is silver! But without any creation 2013 on it!
I kinda got confused , did you see any PM (not PMC) with silver box?
Thanks a Ton
Ali Zamani No, I've never seen a silver box with this. That makes me suspicious. My box is black. I have the original Pure Malt, not the Creation 2013 version, so i don't know if that version has a different box.
haha! thank you! im glad im not alone. :)
I love it !! I own a bottle and 2 backups, that's how much I love this fragrance !!
Now it's time for PH PH PH PH PH :)
Pure Malt smells SO good, projects and lasts forever. I need to buy another bottle.
hi gues you are great. iam from sweden and i like what you do great job. between this and pure havane which one gonna be? which one is a better scent or which do you like more?
Yes I get the rubbery plastic note in there and it reminds me of colored erasers.
I blind bought Pure Malt after being a huge fan of A Men (and hearing all the hype online). I love the scent but I must say the longevity isnt the greatest on my skin. In addition to spraying PM, I do one spray of A Men to help. Overall I give PM a 8.5. Great re-review guys!
i emailed someone at Mugler and they told me that they were virtually identical. also not available here in the US
Just so you know,I am in charge of procuring the whiskey barrels to age Pure Malt. My team and I drink Lagavulin 16 in copious amounts then using the empty barrels we produce the lovely scent that the public adores. Any other questions please let me know.

I'm wearing Pure Malt today for the first time since Christmas, and I'm really enjoying it. Liking it A LOT more than I did back in November and December. Of course, I blind bought it with a lot of hope after believing into the hype and was kind of disappointed, because I didn't love it. Still don't truly love it. But I'm just really enjoying the scent today! The berries in the fragrance are coming out nicely. Excited for my bottle of Pure Havane to come in next week. Blind bought as well lol.
I get the rubber note!!!
Hey Daver! Mugler is releasing Alien man in May ! Can’t wait !
awesome! glad you love it! it's a good one. :)
LEYKIS 101 !!!!
I field-test Pure Malt yesterday. I do like the scent, but I like Pure Havane, Angel Man and especially Taste of Fragrance a lot more.
I get that rubbery note as well. Sometimes it actually seems really strong and other times I barely notice it. That is the only complaint I have with this one, because I don't really want to smell rubbery.
Wish they would sell this in Canada. I was so surprised to see this for sale on the website, but they only ship to the USA :( I had to get mine off ebay.
Great video. Can't wait for my bottle to come in. I've been wanting this one for years.
here in sweden is very hard to finde these . pure shot and the A man are available herer and i did not like them. but i found pure malt online from england . so i ordered one :) i can not wait to smeel it .
Just got mine delivered today...wow. It's so hard to imagine what this smells like based only on reviews because it really doesn't smell like anything else. But it's awesome. I sprayed it on my hand, and I haven't stopped sniffing it for the last hour...every few minutes "what's it smell like now? still awesome." I love it. I want to get Pure Havane and ToF but I'm curious...A*Men and all it's flankers different enough to justify owning each one?
Ordered myself a bottle and got about 9 hours out of it. i know you hate top tens but this is definitely on my list. got many compliments, it surely is an amazing blend.
where did you buy it from
Fragrance Bros, please choose for me and explain why: Pure Malt, Bleu de Chanel, Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb. Thank you!
Hey Bros, great channel!
Is Pure Malt much sweeter when compared to DHI, spicebomb or La Nuit De L'Homme?
Pure Malt isn't available for testing where I live, so I'm considering blind buying this, but I don't like overly sweet fragrances, which makes me concerned.
So do you guys think I would enjoy it based on the fact I love DHI, spicebomb and La Nuit De L'Homme? Also, which one between all of those you guys think is the best in terms of compliment factor, longevity and projection?
Thanks in advance.
André Piancó I personally think that Pure Malt is the least sweet from those fragrances--not sure if you would agree or not. I love Pure Malt. It has a sweetness in it from the berry note at the top that is tamed by a whiskey note, and as it dries, it has a sweetness from the caramel smell that is tamed by patchouli. I think if you love those fragrances you mentioned, you would probably really like PM. I hope so anyway. :)
+André Piancó Not sure where you live, but here in the states there are online stores that sell samples of fragrances with a sample size of your choosing. There's theperfumedcourt and surrendertochance.
Pure malt is on the less spicy side of spice bomb and less fresh than la nuit. No idea of dhi. I but I think spice bomb>puremalt>la nuit for partying and dhi>la nuit>puremalt>spicebomb for close occasions
Just bought pure malt and a few days before I bought pure havane. Instantly loved pure havane, sweet cherry.
Yet pure malt I just couldn't get the scent. It didn't seem as potent as pure havane. I kept going back to thr store and trying it out. In the end I just gave in and bought it. I wasn't instantly wowed by it yet it got so much hype on internet I knew there must be something about this fragrance. Was hoping it would be a grower..Yes it is grower for sure..Its probably easier to wear than pure havane too... Both great frags and although they both have a similar dna both have there own type of scent. Obviously one is malt whiskies and the other Havana cigars.
Its not selling anymore, if you go on the TM website now, any opinion on this? Do you think it will be back? Or was just a week thing?
With all the hype of PH when I purchased it the first time during the re-release it was good but I was expecting to it be godlike I need to buy PM soon and maybe see if this is the ultimate flanker...I'm sure its a good one considering I never disliked any of their gourmands yet.
Lmao @ 7:36!! Great review. This is my signature scent right here. My favorite!!
I wore this to my son's birthday party and all my girlfriends co-workers were trying to get all close to me and smell me haha! Big mistake because I never hear the end of it lol
+Marc Garcia yeh its an awesome compliment getter.
totally get that "rubber" note; is this tar? or perhaps a peat-patch-coffe deathmatch...
Everything you said in this video is true. I can totally relate to this.
A few though have said they can't smell this on themselves yet it will be projecting like a beast. Happened to me lol 😂...
About the rubber note, the first time I tried Pure Havane.I got it (it was really weird to me). Haven't tried Pure Malt yet, but soon though...
Im not big into gourmands but I do really enjoy this 1 !
yeah it's a good one!
Oh right thanks, its only in the U.S store, I'm in the UK
I could live without A*men or any of the other flankers, but I need to have this one as long as I'm alive. Actually, I'd even wear it in my casket.
There's a video idea. What would you wear in your casket?
Seth DeRoule LOL!
lol... Idk if you drink beer or not. But this smells very similar to how the beer Octoberfest tastes. Octoberfest is a seasonal beer sold in the fall that has a sweet,caramel type of taste so im guessing the caramel is what reminds me of Pure Malt.lol
Ryan Yoder haha! I saw your post on FB! :D I do like beer, and I just had some Octoberfest just last week. Very malty beer. :)
no not at all. yeah they're totally different. besides...storing it in a barrel isnt going to do anything. lol. i was trying to say all that, but i guess it didnt come out right. lol
ordered mine today... I can't wait to have my nose on this
ahhhhhhhhh
i got 2013
i must say its best of thierry mugler
a GEM
its different dont miss it it has hint of soft whiskey but different and more gem
Deciding from either Pure Malt or Pure Havane. Any help?
Daver, I completely agree with you. I get that same, rubbery sweet smell in the opening....every time I wear it I always think to myself "where have I smelled this...." to this day I still don't know what it reminds me of.
Then that dry-down comes around...I'm going to hoard this stuff, just in case some dummy decides to reformulate :(
Too late for me. I'm pissed, different scent in my opinion. Got the re formulation from Macy's. Not liking the and no longevity on my skin.
+old monkeyKing Enma I also purchased a bottle from Macys last week. No reformulation whatsoever, I have my other bottle from 2013 right here and it's literally the EXACT same juice. Take a break from it and come back or something man because this is still a masterpiece (for now)
Ok, I will. Did you noticed the color of the juice? Looks a lil darker than the one on the video. I'm probably paranoid.
Same color juice as the 2013 bottle. Sometimes the lighting / video quality can impact the way colors appear. Don't worry my friend, you still have the original( and only) formulation!
Sold!
Still impossible to get in Canada :( TM Canadian site does not have an online store. Only one contact on the site and they never returned my email.
"I get near BEASTTTTTT MODEEEEEEE"
hahahahahaha you guys are the best
sure hope so,I havent bought a bottle yet,as good as a review is for something and it sound like i love all the notes i still havent smelt it so i wont buy until then. Not sold anywhere in my neck of the woods so I can sniff it out
i got my pure malt anddddddd i ..... love it;)
Hi there bros...I already have animale animale...could it be redundat buying pure malt?...is it really a marked difference...e.g. in terms of quality?...what about pure malt compared to Bman?...I am just going for the best smelling and quality one...please let me know, thanks a lot
RaciocinioPlease I dont know about Animale Animale, but the dry-down in this is absolutely amazing. I would buy it for the dry-down alone.
i think it skews very mature. totally works for an older dude, no question.
so did they fix the sprayer?
I actually hate Guilty. I'm just wondering where Pure Malt is on the sweetness scale and Guilty represents too sweet for me.
Your review was great. I may have to risk it and blind buy this one!
Hey brother,, I own pure havane and want to buy pure malt, but I don't want to buy a redundant purchase.... do they smell similar, or are they different enough to warrent a purchase??
No different. Pure Havane has a sweet cherry note throughout. Pure Malt doesn't have that. I think pure malt is a safer wear. But I also think pure malt is harder to smell on yourself but everyone can smell it. I was turning heads all day wearing pure malt.
How sweet is Pure Malt compared to something like Gucci Guilty? Also, what age is this stuff appropriate for? Can a guy pull this off in his late 30s? 40s?
Does anyone actually like this more than original A*men?
not impressed by the opening but the dry down is definitely something
lol thanks!
Never tried pure malt so that's why I'm curious
TM also patented the idea of actually aging the cologne in barrels, but I agree with yall it probably is just BS marketing.
As far as I know, "Whisky" is the Scottish spelling, and "Whiskey" is comes from the Irish/Gaelic form, and is now universally used for all whiskey not from Scotland (as well as a few within). There is no reason in my view to claim the superiority of "Whisky" over "Whiskey" unless one happens to be particularly partial to scotch. Sure, there are differences in the distillation process, and very many hardcore whiskey drinkers will claim that only a high-end single-malt scotch is "real" whisky, but I'll defend a good Kentucky Bourbon any day. Having said that, its rather ironic that my primary complaint about Pure Malt is that, even though I love it, I expected it to smell more like a really high-end, single malt scotch, which, to my nose it really doesn't. Still, fantastic fragrance, though.
personally i think this is one of the safest blind buys out there. BUT there are a number of people out there who have it who wouldnt mind selling a small sample. you could even try calling Mugler and asking them for one. :)
Pure Malt is one of the best perfumes
yeah i need to. i get lazy with cutting my hair. lol.
why they got rid of this ill never know
You know there's now a 2013 version called CREATION? I got it last week in duty free
Peatsmoke in Scotch Malt Whisky has that phenolic/rubbery smell you talking about ;) T
Ahhhh, I see. Thank you! I'm not a scotch drinker, so thanks for your help!
This fragrance definitely reminds of fall and haloween as well, and of burning leaves and campfires. I wore this one night going to one of those haunted house attractions they have in the fall and it fit perfectly. My favorite fragrance from this house. Great Review as always guys.
I just blind brought this and I like it, "BUT" I am a substance abuse counselor and I am concerned that people will think I'm drinking. Do you think it could be mistaken that way?
Timothy Redmond no because the booze note isn't prominent, only in the opening
I think it would sefinitely come across as booze
There are a LOT of great Whiskeys out there... I do drink a lot of Whisky too but Irish and American Whiskey (Which is what they are and have nothing to do with the Quality) have earned many golds too... ^_^ Oh... And I do not get a plastic note in my pure malt... ^_^
I just realized this smells like ck obsession, at least in the opening
What is yall's favorite from the Thierry Mugler series?
Ok, Daver, so why don't you wear it more now?!
Who doesn't love Pure Malt ? O.o It's gorgeous! Great thing you mentioned Alien liqueur de Parfum, I do get the similarities. Are you ever going to do a review on that one? That would be great :) Btw Miranda, whoever you are, if you think Pure Malt stinks then go bury your nose in a bottle of Grey Flannel, that would probably suit more your tastes, and then renounce all common sense and human logic :p
pure malt is still a 10/10 for me
Thank you guys for making fun of the "aged in whiskey barrels" thing. Real smoky vid.
Certain smoky peat whiskeys have a smell of rubber or plastic as well.
+erikthewarm ahh that makes sense then
Some of the prize winning malt whiskeys are described as tasting like "pig tails covered with tar." Not sure how they would know what a pig tail tastes like, yet to each their own.
Is it discontinued?
I don't think so
do you know if this was reformulated?
+Josue Ramirez Not really sure
I think there are 4 formulations of pure malt. The original, then the box with signature on. Then 2013 creation. Then the box with MUGLER on.
I got puremalt but I don't like... I prefer I love NY for all by Bond no 9 if I want to use a gourmand. I don't like the opening of puremalt with the whisky all the way and the dry down doesn't smell to me like cookies actually this fragance reminds me with no offense to a drunk old man, something that no even my grandpa would wear. Some guys like It and some others don't. I guess this particular house (Thierry Mugler) isn't of my taste and I very sorry to say that....
Ok.... Finally decided to blind buy this. just pulled the trigger an hour ago!
1:44 EPIC
If I could drink this stuff, I would. The girl I'm currently dating says it's one of the best things she has ever smelled. This stuff turns heads man.
if i reviewed this fragrance today, i would get a lot of thumbs down…i'm hoping my opinion shifts again.
I can't smell it on my self whyyyyyyy
I had the same feeling. I tried it 3 times in the shop and couldn't smell it. Yet pure havane was beastly with its cherry scent. I gave in and bought a bottle regardless. My gf could smell it 15ft away. Its one of those scents.
