I loved it, and for the price, I went for the dupe from Holmyy Parfums (Argentina), which is identical. Here’s my take: it opens sweet with a very marked chocolate and then its classic Amen scent. I see it as a modern Amen, easier to wear and with extremely high longevity on skin. Cheers.
I just picked up this fragrance. It smells great. Is it new? No, but yes, we have a new A*Men flanker, just like everyone was missing, where the star patchouli of the line prevails. It has a fairly masculine citrus opening, but as it dries down and the chocolate emerges, in my judgment, a woman could wear it perfectly. It lasts 4 hours with the scent detectable and another 4 hours as a soft base. It lives up to its name Fantasm: sometimes it seems to disappear and then suddenly you get bursts of that rich smell. I don’t know who voted for summer; no matter how much citrus it has at the start, it’s still the little brother of A*Men and I find it overwhelming for high temperatures. I see it more for autumn, winter, and maybe spring. I hope this helps you decide whether to fall into Mugler’s web again. I recommend it without doubt.

On Wikiparfum, I saw they credit two perfumers: Louise Turner and Jacques Huclier.
The previous review explains the perfume well 👍. I’d just add that I notice the background patchouli is quite toned down compared to the old glories. A million times better than the Ultimate… luckily.
The original A*Men feels a bit different, and after a dozen derivatives, it doesn’t have to be bad. Upon spraying, that unmistakable patchouli from the line dominates, with very fleeting citrus that doesn’t give the bright opening seen in other A*Men versions. Chocolate appears quickly and steals the show: first aromatic (I associate it with lavender, though I suppose it’s clary sage). As it evolves, it gains gourmand tones: moving from bitter chocolate to a powdery, vanilla-infused cocoa, frankly addictive and not cloying thanks to the base patchouli. If they used the old nomenclature, this flanker would be ‘Pure Chocolate’. That initial sweet-lavender phase reminded me of current bestsellers like Invictus Victory or Phantom, which I hate. But as I discovered more, I see Fantasm isn’t a rehash; L’Oreal hasn’t gone crazy and has created something that fits current trends. Perhaps disappointing if you expected the avant-garde of before, but we understand they’re aiming for shelf continuity (otherwise they wouldn’t make 50ml formats). Compared to the line, Pure Tonka is the most similar, but without reusing its formula. Nothing to object to regarding performance: good projection at the start and skin longevity that surprised me. The bottle is the post-rebranding refillable design, featuring a matte gray star visible with a flashlight. Fantasm isn’t a 10 and doesn’t compete with the flagship icons, but it’s notable and exceeded my expectations. Faced with the fear that it might be a random perfume with A*Men aesthetics, we have a flanker that contributes its grain of sand without tarnishing the legacy.
Look, I finally found a tester at El Corte Inglés in Barcelona yesterday. At first, there’s a pleasant deja vu of the original A*Men, much softer and modernized without that burnt caramel smell, where later that chocolate with coconut scent appears, but very weak. If the original A*Men, the current one, and the reformulated version are already very weak, this Fantasm isn’t much more enduring. In its mid-phase, it reminds me quite a bit of a soft Pure Tonka with coumarin, and in the dry-down, it resembles Pure Wood, reminding me of an Aftersun scent. For now, I plan to buy the original again because, upon application, I can enjoy it well and it lasts hours, but the Fantasm, though very pleasant with that summery chocolate sensation, feels like it lacks something, even though it’s ‘parfum’.
Same DNA as the original, sweet and milky, good performance. It seemed to have traces of Bish’s current ‘palo’, and I see people comparing it to their creations. Fortunately, it doesn’t turn rancid, though it can get a bit cloying. Reminiscent of Pure Tonka as well.
I finally got it and it hit me hard! Starts with a citrus and coconut touch, even if the label doesn’t say so! Then it turns sweet with a very fine chocolate that shines brighter in the women’s version. And patchouli, more patchouli! Both are top-tier and unisex. It feels like Mugler is reclaiming its essence! Let’s hope it lasts and they don’t mess it up.
It’s really a bomb in terms of longevity and projection, but to my taste, it reminds me a lot of Miyake La Nuit, just much more intense and penetrating. Great perfume, but unsurprising and moving away from the Angel DNA; quite linear with a slight citrus touch at the start that disappears quickly, giving way to a darker chocolate than La Nuit. It even reminds me of another one, but I can’t recall the name right now. Good perfume, a beast that doesn’t surprise me, though I do appreciate the quality.
I tested this perfume again today, and my overall perception has changed. Does it depend on the tester? Was it more macerated or concentrated? I don’t know, but it lasted longer on my clothes, and I noticed it was slightly more persistent. Maybe it lives up to its name, Fantasm: there are moments you smell it, you perceive it, and other times you don’t. The downside is they’ve gone overboard with coumarin.
This launch is getting a lot of hate, but if it didn’t have such a legendary father, it would be something else. It’s not the eighth wonder, but within the A*Men line, it’s a solid alternative. The longevity is surprising: it’s still on the skin the next day. It doesn’t project poorly, isn’t too heavy, but is sweet and airy, persistent, and throwing good bursts. The initial phases highlight vanilla, coconut, and ‘white’ chocolate; then in the dry-down, patchouli and balsamic notes appear that my nose can’t identify, but it never loses its milky coconut with white chocolate character. I expected much worse.
They’re giving this launch a hard time, but if it weren’t for the legacy of its father, it would be something else. It’s not the eighth wonder, but within the A*Men line, it’s a solid alternative. The longevity is surprising; the next day it’s still right on the skin. It doesn’t project poorly, it’s not heavy, but it is sweet and airy; it’s persistent and releases good bursts. The first phases highlight the vanillas, the coconut, and for me, the chocolate is ‘white’ type. Then, in the dry down, you notice patchouli notes mixed with balsamic ingredients my nose can’t identify, but it never loses its character of milky coconut with white chocolate. I expected something worse, honestly.
A solid flanker. Dark chocolate and spicy, with a bright opening thanks to the citrus. I really like it; it performs well, projects, and usually pleases my circle. Ideal for cold weather and versatile; any occasion works.
I bought another fragrance and tested it on blotter; on my way out, I put the blotter in my bag, and every movement sent a wave of sweet scent toward me, like chocolate liquor without the alcohol. It’s a bomb with character. Not for summer or enclosed offices. The citrus notes elevate the chocolate, making it dynamic and nothing boring. Even people who usually dislike sweets love it. On skin, it lasts until the next day, even after showering. I wouldn’t buy it blind due to its strong character—it might not suit you, but I’ll be 100% repurchasing. For me, nothing else covers what it offers.
Call me crazy, but it has an air of Havana puree, naturally without tobacco. For me, the best Mugler alternative.
What an amazing perfume! Very original, long-lasting, and sensual. If you’re looking for something outside the repetitive canon of Rabanne Boss CH, this is it. Test it on skin and clothes because it transforms the formula: on fabric, it’s darker. It has great sillage and lasts 7-8 hours without issues. It carries the Mugler DNA but feels fresher. I’d buy it blind; it’s delicious, fun, original, and addictive. If the Arabs release one, I’m buying a Pale 🤣
One of the best in my collection, without a doubt. Super masculine, chocolatey, and dark, with an incredible patchouli. The opening is citrusy yet mature, an excellent combination that honors its predecessors while innovating with an DNA that competes head-to-head with Versace’s JPGs.
A Men Fantasm: first impressions. I bought it a few days ago and tested it feeling disappointed. I expected a devilish angel with lots of patchouli and chocolate… but no. I hope time changes my opinion. It opens with burnt sugar mixed with citrus or dried peels, pleasant, bathed in fresh pepper and with a hint of undeclared coconut water. That coconut spices up more and mixes with the sage and pepper, and a milky but dry and fine chocolate. The patchouli is there, yes, but very attenuated, like the whole fragrance. It’s a castrated angel, domesticated like my cat Pelusa. It’s the new era Mugler, not Thierry Mugler. It resembles a JPG or CH fragrance like Le Beau or those Phantoms. It has points of the classic Angel Man but toned down. I’m disappointed. UPDATE: Due to some chemical phenomenon called oxidation or maceration, or maybe because I used it outdoors, the performance improved a lot. It throws great bursts and lasts much longer on clothes and skin. The patchouli accentuated, but unfortunately the coconut reminds me a lot of Le Beau. I’ll follow its path and tell you. I feel better. Come on, Pelusa. UPDATE September 25: I like it more and more every day. It regained strength and projection with its winter scent of citrus peels with pink pepper and its warm milky chocolate or chocolatada with a herb that enhances it. The patchouli, as always, accompanies, in this case more attenuated than the classic. Beautiful. It never happened to me to go through three states of acceptance, there’s always a first time.
A Men Fantasm: first impressions. I bought it a few days ago and have been testing it with a sense of disappointment. I expected a devilish angel, with powerful patchouli and chocolate… but no. Let’s hope time leads me to update this favorably. It opens with burnt sugar mixed with citrus or dried peels, pleasant, bathed in very fresh pepper and with a hint of undeclared coconut water.

A*Men Fantasm is the last flanker in the line, and here there’s an explosion of chocolate with Mugler’s classic patchouli, creating very interesting gourmand vibes. Its performance is acceptable; it didn’t blow my mind or revolutionize my life, but it’s super interesting and recommended. I think whether you buy it will depend on your tastes, but Mugler offers a good proposal. Very good idea this time.
No matter how boring, gray, or difficult the day is, here comes something motivating and stimulating. I’ve never been a fan of the original A*Men, but in the end, the bright young heir arrived. The new flanker steps onto the stage; after the first spray, you can tell the old familiar DNA, it smells like a tribute but is friendlier, less intimidating, and more wearable. What follows is fantastic: the delicately bitter chocolate is clearly noticeable, then comes a touch of pepper, and afterwards a patchouli that rounds it off masterfully, to rise and applaud this well-balanced blend. The scent notes are perceived well over time, then the aroma changes and seems fresher. Probably the sage with the citrus notes, which I perceive afterwards, shine more. This is a Mugler from end to end. Where others put a few silver reflections, Mugler puts a great futuristic mirror recreating a earthy, dark gourmet, without concessions. Overall, A*Men Fantasm is a successful successor to a classic and, at the same time, a new and exciting beginning. It combines the best of the past with a fresh, warm, and spicy approach, and makes me dream of its scent again. Welcome back Mugler, but I know you never left.
A modern A*Men, don’t expect to smell the strong classic patchouli of the line. I suppose it’s the most wearable of all, it’s friendly and (for me) it resembles an Invictus Victory Elixir more than the classic A*Men.
Very tasty. However, its ‘feminine’ version seems much more purposeful. Try both, if possible one on each arm, and you’ll notice the difference. This A*Men lacks a bit of character; it’s super tasty but compared to others, even from the same family, it can feel a bit flat. In short, try it, it might just be my experience.
This flanker has a chocolatey, sweet but dark opening. As it dries down, a masculine cologne vibe appears, maybe something from the nineties. In this mid-phase, for a while it smells almost exactly like Afnan 9pm. Then, a few hours later, close to the skin, it smells minty and sweet, like a box of Tic-Tacs. In summary, it’s interesting and I recommend it, but to be honest, the mid-phase was what I liked the least. Still, I could buy it lol.
A*Men Fantasm is woody, spicy, and vanilla-based. From the first spray, you can tell the Mugler DNA, with that vanilla patchouli that defines the line (though many of them are no longer sold). Plus, it brings a dark chocolate that gives it a creamy, almost milky, synthetic gourmand touch, but pleasant. I didn’t notice the citrus or bergamot in the opening; for me, it smells the same at the start as it does at the end. Being dense and sweet, it’s better for fall and winter, casual outings, or parties. Lasted over 9 hours with regular sillage. After years, Mugler released another from the line and didn’t disappoint. It keeps the gourmand concept with a star ingredient, now dark chocolate. If you love gourmands, give it a try.
If A*Men had been released in 2024, this would be it. It’s the update to the classic: with projection and longevity of over 12 hours. If you like gourmands, it’s a hit. Chocolate, dairy, and vanilla. A delight.
If A*Men had come out in 2024, this would be its scent. It’s an update of the classic. With projection and longevity over 12 hours. If you like gourmands, this hits the nail on the head: chocolatey, milky, and vanilla-infused. A delight.
Smells like vanilla cookies with a touch of iris and a hint of chocolate.
Does anyone else detect coconut and tobacco?
Well, the hypocrisy… I’d bet my collection that if this were signed by Jean Paul Gaultier or Rabanne, the community would already be tearing it apart. But no: totally removed from that reality is this A*Men Fantasm, simply because it’s backed by Thierry Mugler. Don’t get me wrong: it’s a good perfume. Rich, easy to like, and with great performance (I’ll go into details). But, despite certain nuances, it remains another in the trend of cheerful, cloying, nocturnal sweets. That’s why I appeal to the community’s hypocrisy that criticizes the repetition of cloying combinations but now celebrates this very thing. A*Men Fantasm is a hot milk chocolate in winter. Yes, it has a spicy touch and citrus in the opening and smells of good quality. But in essence, that’s it. The evolution is almost non-existent: once the sharp opening goes away, a chocolatey, unisex, and linear base remains. And watch out, I am a faithful defender that simple is what works best. But don’t come now to draw complexity to justify the compliments to this chocolate… the same one that was so criticized in the past. Now, if you don’t mind paying its cost to have a bit more of the same, the good thing is that Mugler offers performance up to the mark. At least at launch (we know reformulations are coming). I’m talking about a minimum duration of 8 to 9 hours, with high and solid projection for the first two or three hours. Anyway, no matter how snobs try to paint it as a reinvention, this fragrance is —from the first to the last sniff— another of the current super eye-catching gourmand trend. Of great quality, that’s for sure… although also at a considerable price. Performance guaranteed and, surely, compliments too. 📊 Scores: Scent: 7.5/10, Longevity: 9/10, Projection: 9/10, Trail: 8/10, Versatility: 5/10, Compliments: 8/10
I think it’s a bit overrated, but well, it doesn’t smell as youthful to me, which is good.
It didn’t blow my mind, they inflated it too much thanks to the reviewers.
I was more convinced by its presence than its composition. After visiting a perfumerie and trying things that didn’t spark enthusiasm, and then after several hours with a ghost spray in hand noticing it was still very present and rich, I decided to buy it on a whim. Then I decided it was just another sweet perfume that maybe stood out in performance. It’s linear, with declared citrus in the opening but imperceptible. That opening is plastic and slightly alcoholic, and quickly the sweet chocolate appears with something mentholated, probably the patchouli. Not much more than that, said this without belittling it. It’s good, rich, palatable, and durable, but not much more.
Simply fantastic. Far from typical Rabanne, Jean Paul Gaultier, or Rozana, it’s niche in aroma certainly, though not for everyone. The chocolate is strong but the essences calm it down, brutal power and exceptional projection and trail.
Amazing perfume, I tried it in a store and went crazy. It’s sweet but with a distinctive touch compared to trendy gourmands, inherited in my opinion from the traditional A*Men. It’s a scent similar to the first flanker but with a more modern and youthful touch that I loved. As for performance, it’s good, not an atomic bomb like its discontinued sisters, but nonetheless it lasts, projects, and feels perfect for several hours without being invasive. I see it as ideal for dates, daily wear, or going out for a drink; in my opinion it lacks the punch for a club though I didn’t test it there. Scent: 9.25/10, Performance 8/10, Versatility 7/10, Compliments 9/10.
It’s a very sweet perfume, I could stop the review here but I can’t help myself. It’s not appreciated enough and I think it’s because of the opening; it’s when it dries down that it becomes fantastic. It’s youthful but complex, sensual, and very long-lasting. You can wear it anytime, it’s very versatile.
I love this perfume with my life, it’s chocolatey and sweet, the citrus notes balance it well. It’s very for winter and autumn, ideal for rainy days. Lasts 7 to 9 hours, projection is 3 hours, and the trail is fantastic. Perfect for day and night, I’ve gotten several compliments. I recommend it a lot, it’s cheerful and in a way sexy for those with the right personality (not my case, JJADJS). 100/10, lov u Mugler 😚
The richest chocolate scent I’ve ever smelled. I love the smell and the warmth it gives; right after spraying it smells a bit citrusy but fades in 5 minutes, then the chocolate emerges and lasts until the end. Even though it doesn’t list milk, I smell it a lot, giving it a more gourmand touch, but nothing like the current ones everywhere; this has its own stamp. Delicious all around, it makes you feel like a chocolate you want to eat. P.S.: The atomizer is still terrible, just like the previous ones.
Great vibe, smells like warm, sweet semi-bitter chocolate without falling into the cloying trap typical of sweet perfumes.
