A*Mén. The perfume Diego used, the best and most controversial player in history. I didn’t want to buy it because they say it’s past its heyday, just like Diego. Finally, I managed to get an old batch and, although I expected a brighter opening, it didn’t disappoint me. Like many nineties fragrances, it has many notes in its description. I perceive cocoa strongly, even though it’s not listed. Beyond the vanillas, I wouldn’t categorize it as a 100% gourmand scent. A*Mén generates a mix of sensations in me, like Maradona himself. It serves for the whole field: versatile, a winner, and sometimes controversial. A perfume that serves to smoke a Habano with Fidel Castro, play picadito with stars, or eat a choripán on the costanera. A*Mén may seem great or you may hate it, but it will never go unnoticed. A product that emulates the standards of the great Diego and, like him, is eternal.
This fragrance has what I love most in perfumery: an identity. While it is commercial, it’s a unique, risky scent made to please you. Watch out, I have perfumes to grab attention, but they’re usually the ones with the least identity; they’re made to please. Mugler created A*Mén with love, quality, and mastery, a cocktail of 19 notes in an EDT so different you’d prefer to make three distinct perfumes with them. But they came out with great class. Many describe it as intense sweetness, but it’s intense sweetness for those who don’t like sweet things; if you’re a fan, it will be a mix of very intense emotions. The notes are listed, but the blend minimizes them and becomes indescribable, something unique: it becomes A*Mén. It’s one of my favorites, but the one I use least. I’m of the philosophy of using them to enjoy and trigger without fear: do you feel comfortable wearing it in summer, winter, office, date? Wear it. But I keep this perfume only for very cold days; there it has immense enjoyment potential. I’m not a fan of blind buying, but I understand those who do. Never buy this perfume blind unless you’re a gambler who sees life as a game; because you might hate it so much you want to smash it against the wall, or love it so much you want it to be part of your DNA. If you do it and you like it, congratulations, you’re fit to rob your family’s savings and bet red. Go for it, champion!
My head exploded from the moment they sprayed it on me to try. Addictive, distinctive, and requires a certain bearing to wear a fragrance like this. It’s like smelling an Arcor dulce de leche caramel. It steals glances for good or bad, because either you like it or you absolutely don’t, it doesn’t smell similar to anything. If a masculine, sexy, and decisive personality had a scent, this would definitely be it.
Honestly, I didn’t know this fragrance and it didn’t spark curiosity, but after seeing recommendations from Narciso Salazar on his YouTube channel, I decided to try it and I must admit I love it. Maybe it’s one of those polarizing ones, where you love or hate it without middle ground, and at first sniff, I integrated into the first group. Different from anything someone used to today. A large number of notes perfectly combined that make you discover something new throughout its entire development, highlighting one after another. I understand perceptions are subjective; on the opening, I feel a subtle mentholated citrus freshness giving way to a milky sweetness with a light coffee and incense finish. Different yes, but unique, making it an addictive aromatic amalgam that’s already part of my collection.
A*Mén has always been love or hate, but when they reformulated it, even with the old formula, I was getting saturated, and after reselling or gifting it, I’d buy another hoping for a lighter version. Just what they did with this latest formula. It was exactly what I wanted, something that wouldn’t turn people away, especially in the first minutes. Although now it would be perfect, I miss its trail of burnt caramel that this version lacks, but I’ll have to get used to it. At least I’m sure it won’t tire me out like the previous one.
Hi fragrance friends. I had this perfume years ago when it was still signed by Thierry Mugler, not the cologne water they sell now at a golden price. Honestly, I’m very disappointed in how L’Oréal killed this iconic fragrance, the gourmand of gourmands. I ended up at a perfumerie and the clerk told me it’s the same one, clearly it’s not. Those of us who had it know what it really was, what a pity the current formula is. I hope to find an old batch, like 2012/2016, and get the beast that once accompanied me. Edit 01/10/2024: I just got a blessed old batch (year 2012) with almost 100ml, it aged perfectly. Despite being 12 years old, it still projects and sticks hard; that’s the black beast I remembered. Thanks, blessed be the collectors.
I never owned or bought it, but I witnessed its beauty, magnificence, and especially its power. I heard about it from a friend and he said it’s a beast; I told him now it’s a cute kitten with a puppy meow, not the majestic great tiger of old that was so expansive and potent, leaving a subjugating trail. The formula wasn’t entirely altered; the ingredients are still there, but it feels more like alcohol than essence; it used to be perfume water and is now a diluted eau de toilette that manages with effort. I love the milky notes with honey, patchouli, and caramel; that roasted, smoky, vanilla note gives it a powdery tone from the musk. It’s delicious, magnificent, and if it’s worth spending on, you can get it cheap now. It has a huge similarity in dry down to its older sister ANGEL, one of the ones I revere so much.
My Bach is from six years ago and it performs like a beast. It’s a full-on gourmand, ever-changing, and unique. Extremely cloying, it can give you a headache and tire you out. I use it once in a while; I like it but not for daily wear. It’s a collector’s jewel, but not for everyone. Don’t buy blind. I don’t know how the current ones are since they reformulated and diluted them; I’ll go try it someday. To me, it’s a jewel, but you have to know how to use and adapt it.
If you’re looking for a ‘beast mode’ fragrance, look no further. If you like it, you’ll enjoy it like crazy; it’s not a blind buy or a gift, you have to try it first. When sprayed, it’s an explosion that fills the room, extremely sweet; don’t pull the trigger if there are diabetics nearby.
Bestial. I haven’t smelled a perfume with this much potency in centuries. One spray on your clothes lasts until you wash it. Reminds me of Coca-Cola with caramel.
Banch Code from checkfresh.com: Batch ABY92E5, date 2024-09, made one month and 24 days ago. It arrived yesterday after the diluted reformulation and its discontinuation. I didn’t think I’d have it back, but after years where the reduced version was nothing and the vintage too overwhelming, I needed this time to adapt. I got hooked again, far from memories of what was missing or too much. UPDATE: after almost a month, I notice they retouched it; they put back that burnt rubber sensation that was lost in the reduced version. They took advantage of the withdrawal to relaunch it more updated.
Today I passed by a store and it seemed vintage, like an DNA I smelled years ago from an older man. I didn’t find it bad, but it’s a much more complex scent than the popular ones of this decade.
It’s curious: I hate sweet scents but my husband loves them. I think his pH is perfect to enjoy gourmand notes without nausea or headaches. I recommend it to men who don’t like fruity perfumes or shaving foam. What I notice most is chocolate and a little leather.
Mugler’s A*Men is the quintessential party and cheerful fragrance. Its sweet and caramelized blend of vanilla, coffee, wood, and patchouli is a unique experience. Name it and they own it! With excellent performance and quality, it has solidified as a masculine classic. It’s a true pearl, I totally recommend it. P.S.: Did you know Maradona used it? Now you do.
After years with its overwhelming and beastly vintage formula, and a long time without using it, I inevitably fell back into its claws. It passed through Clarins and Oreal losing intensity and identity, but now I’m convinced they restored its power. It’s back to being my great love, though I don’t hate it as much anymore; it sits between the vintage and the soft Oreal formula.
It’s not for everyone: it’s sweet with deep tobacco. It’s a beast, ideal for special occasions or going out partying. It lasts a long time, projects a lot, and has a lot of character, but it comes with a lot of attitude, since it’s a classic. Maradona used it and it was his signature.
It evokes the scent of Santería and witches’ cauldrons with their magic brews, like Nganga. It also smells like Aztec pozole, the kind they added chocolate and spices to cover the smell of burnt meat. I acknowledge that angels are also fallen; Angel is Lucifer, symbolized in the five-pointed star. There’s only bourbon vanilla, Arabica coffee, and patchouli, but masterfully assembled they seem like caramel, milk, and lavender.
I bought it blind looking for something challenging and it won the battle, but I can’t stand it. It smells like a public elementary school bathroom, no sweetness, just that pipe smell that must be the patchouli. Don’t recommend buying blind; I tried to sell it and nothing happened.
If it didn’t exist, we’d have to invent it. That was the first thing I thought after testing it on paper and skin. The opening leaves you stunned; you don’t expect it. It’s something between mentholated and gourmand (it reminded me of Joop Homme), followed by a sharp ‘coffee shot’. Coffee is the protagonist. As it dries, the coffee stands out even more, escorted by an ambroxan base, very sweet, with vanilla, tonka bean, and benzoin. It has tremendous personality. At times it seems like an aroma for a classic black-and-white movie man, and instantly you think of a 21st-century man who enters and exits the metaverse, dominates the laws of physics, and has the world at his feet. I don’t see it for daily use unless you have an excessive personality or are an actor who can carry the note constantly (it’s rumored to be Maradona’s signature, which fits). More for night than day, made to conquer emotionally. Don’t wear it if you’re a total jerk, because you’ll generate ambivalence and in the end, they’ll hate the perfume and you.
It’s the 7 by Loewe but anonymous and sweet, defined by that acidic ‘balsamic vinegar’ note.
Maradona used this. Almost everything is said: it’s a fragrance hard to love, but those who do, they love it madly. On my skin it lasts about 7 hours, projecting for two. I don’t recommend it; there’s nothing written about taste except for ice cream.
When I started this madness of discovering perfumes, I didn’t like this one or the rest of Mugler, but something pushed me to repeat it. Mugler has magic; their world captivates you. I like the current version better than the vintage Thierry Mugler, which burned my nose and senses. A*Men hits like a slap: super sweet, strong, unique, and hypnotic, sometimes overwhelming. You’ll shine like a star because there’s nothing like it on the market, which I like. It was launched in 1996, and I think it’s a flanker of Angel (1992) due to shared notes. The new versions are more wearable, soft, and well-made, pleasing more people. I enjoyed about 10ml that I couldn’t finish and sold because I got tired of it; I prefer the Angel for women that fascinates me and is my favorite, but I don’t enjoy A*Men no matter how hard I try.
There’s no denying it’s an interesting perfume, but another thing is whether it’s pleasant to smell on a person. I recommend not buying it blind because it might not be to your taste. It’s a perfume that goes through different aromatic states, so don’t let the initial scent fool you; you need to wait a bit to appreciate its final aroma, which, for me, is smoky woods: palo santo, mahogany, and other woods, with a slight touch of toffee. In other words, for me, the smoky wood scent, like incense or burnt, is predominant, so everyone must evaluate if they want to smell like that and in what situation. The toffee sweetness is there, but very subtle.
Today I had the chance to smell it, and upon spraying, a very strong and strange scent hit me, nothing commercial or those sweet little things they’ve been pumping out lately. The opening didn’t like much; it smelled medicinal, sweet, amantolated, like throat lozenges with honey and propolis, or vitamin gummies my mom gave me when I was a kid. A nostalgic but interesting aroma, not unpleasant, though strange. As it dried and 30 minutes passed, that medicinal smell faded, and a rich coffee with vanilla scent emerged, some caramel, and a patchouli and woody base, very tasty and striking. I ended up liking it a lot; it’s addictive. Give it a chance to dry and settle on the skin; you won’t regret it. I definitely recommend it, but try it first, don’t buy blind because of the opening 🙂.
The most expensive and exclusive one from Wavi, they’re the only ones who have it. Every time I smell it, it transports me back to him.
Wow! This perfume is my childhood. The one that introduced me to this taste. My dad had it but didn’t use it much; he said it was too sweet and for women. I used it occasionally to go to school, one or two sprays so they wouldn’t notice. Sweet, I remember it like chocolate chip cookies soaked in milk with something green, very delicious. I used it in the morning when it was cold. A bit scandalous, yes, but too good. It seems to create a dichotomy; I think it’s an essential jewel.
A man’s scent with a lot of personality, like shouting, ‘HERE I AM AND I DON’T GIVE A SHIT IF IT OVERWHELMS YOU WITH THIS SMELL OF BURNING LOGS’ a spectacular aroma!! I repeat, you have to wear it with a lot of personality, or the perfume will wear you. Ideal for winter nights for going out to clubs, parties, and with friends, you’ll get noticed.
First impressions: It’s a brutal perfume! Hyper-sweet, gourmand, milky, spiced, and woody. It evolves beautifully throughout its olfactory pyramid. If you have a discreet personality, stay away or it will eat you alive. I think the setting that suits it best is a semi-formal cold night. Almost 30 years old, and it doesn’t feel obsolete or outdated. I can’t even imagine the first impression someone got when they wore this in the late 90s. Unfortunately, we’re at the end of spring and beginning of summer in Mexico, so it will have to wait a few months to be tested without reservation. The beast will enter its summer period. (I’ll update then).
There are certainly controversial perfumes, and this one generates divided opinions: it’s hard for anyone to be indifferent to this fragrance; some love it, others hate it, simple as that. I bought it blind: I have to admit it has a good side and a bad side. The good side is its longevity and projection; with just a few sprays, you make an impression wherever you go, without needing to reapply, and it lasts for several hours (about 7 or 8 on average). The bad side is that—in my opinion—it feels like a +35 scent: it has quite mixed notes, like coffee, honey, caramel, and a bit of alcohol. Occasion for use: for cold climates, I see it better for an elegant night out. Again, I don’t recommend buying it blind; make sure to test it first to see if it’s to your liking. Final note: a 7.
I bought it for my collection, thinking I should own it. Upon testing, I thought it was terrible and always avoided it, but over the years I decided to understand it. I plan to try it on a cold Sunday at the cemetery; I don’t think it fits anywhere else for now. A few days passed, and I started getting used to it. The opening fades after 15 minutes, becoming more friendly. It doesn’t seem like a beast; it gives strong bursts but isn’t unpleasant, nor is it delicious; it’s simply wearable.
I couldn’t handle it; the perfume won me over 😔. I have to admit, when I bought it, I let the salesperson’s recommendation sway me, and on the test strip, it smelled pretty good. At the time, I wanted something different, potent, and unique—something no one else smelled like. I was getting tired of citrus scents because they were causing me olfactory fatigue. The first time I wore it was to a party, and a friend told me my perfume was strong, but didn’t say if it smelled good or not. Later, I wore it to an office dinner, and a friend mentioned the aroma was giving her a headache. Honestly, I only sprayed it five times, and I ended up getting annoyed by it myself. But the more I wore it, the more I felt a headache coming on, which is when I decided this wasn’t for me. I decided to gift it to my brother; to be honest, I only wore it a couple of times myself, and I’m sure he didn’t like it either, so he just put it away. The fragrance is quite striking; I was drawn to it because of that coffee note, plus all the other notes that make it so unique. A few months ago, I bought a citrus perfume and was given those cardboard decants you get at perfumeries, so I asked for A Man. I applied it to my hand, and definitely, I can’t handle it. Even though I like that spicy-sweet, gourmand vibe, I wouldn’t even want to wear it for five hours 😭
I wrote this review without preconceptions, just based on comments about how polarizing it is. I listened to it for several days calmly. What surprises me most is that it’s from 1996, yet it smells completely current and trendy with the resurgence of coffee scents (like TDH EDP Intense or Devotion by DG). The opening is powerful, dark coffee and ground beans. A few minutes later, licorice appears, like in Juanola. Then it calms down and a clean base emerges, hard to explain, perhaps due to the mint or jasmine; despite being powerful, it lacks that animalic dirtiness of perfumes from that era. It settles into a sweet blend of tonka, a memory of coffee, and patchouli reminiscent of incense or a mystical place. It’s not for daily wear or the office; it’s for enjoying when it’s cold, on night outings, or events, leaving a lasting memory. Longevity is great; on skin it’s audible for more than 10 hours without losing quality. Before, I saw it as controversial, but I think it’s neither rare nor extravagant; it’s powerful with well-constructed accords and a great example of an oriental perfume. Don’t stop smelling it and tell me what you think.
It’s very rich, but it has the same DNA as the original Focco from Yanbal in the yellow bottle. Most people don’t like it because it’s very sweet, gourmand, and strong. I understand this one is very strong and won’t suit everyone. Although it feels almost identical to Nivea Men Black Carbon Darkwood deodorant, this one has a touch of activated charcoal and woody notes.
With A*Men, I’ve always heard it doesn’t accept half-measures: you either love it or hate it. I’m in the first group. It’s powerful, sweet at the start, and although some notes might seem feminine, it’s deeply masculine and makes you noticed. On skin, it lasts medium, but on clothes it clings so much that I’ve washed shirts with fabric softener and I can still detect the notes. Definitely not for everyone, but if you belong to the club of A*Men lovers, it will be an indispensable for a lifetime.
I love this perfume. It makes me feel unique, and I understand why it was so popular. It has a special, irreverent aesthetic; it’s not friendly, it has “something more.” It gives off a very “cyborg” vibe, futuristic despite being vintage. At first, it smells like formaldehyde, dark disinfectant, and plastic; I imagined the Purple Knight from Saint Seiya, gloomy and penetrating. Over time, it evolves from mint to dulce de leche, coffee, ash, and dries down to a vanilla three-milk cake with honey and a dirty mossy base. I love it. Ideal for designer clothes, irreverent, and unconventional. Scent: 8.1, Projection: 7.8, Longevity: 7.2. Final rating: 7/10.
Angel Man, ufffffff, I love it with all my heart. I saw it in 2018 at Sears, a beautiful and simple bottle. I tested it and thought it smelled like chocolate and earth, so I left it. Hours later, the air smelled different, with presence. I sprayed it and it smelled like wet earth, coffee, and a delicious caramel. I died when I smelled it. When it dried down, I fell in love, and the next day I went to another perfumery, tested it, and it was the same. I saved from my allowance, went to Sears, and bought it. I’d never smelled anything like it, something unique and special. That makes you feel like Mugler, someone who commands and isn’t afraid. I used it a lot and never got compliments, except from a cousin who said it smelled sensual and intimate, a bit dirty due to the patchouli. I loved it for years until I saw they reformulated it and there’s nothing left. Try it if you see it; you can fall in love like I did.
I first encountered this perfume years ago with samples that didn’t impress me at first, since I prefer leathers or incenses. I kept them in a drawer until, by mistake, I took them on a trip. With no other options, I sprayed it, and curiously, a few hours later, it started reciting poetry on my skin. It wasn’t a one-day thing; over the following days, I kept wearing it and fell in love. It’s mentholated, sweet, with a marked patchouli that transports you to another era. Nostalgic, vintage, addictive, and enveloping. The lesson: don’t judge a book by its cover. Today I have the full size, and every time I wear it, someone compliments me. It’s the father of male gourmands, but a woman can wear it without issues. Top quality, lasts about 10 hours, and projects more than 5 feet. On clothes, it lasts days. Try it on skin, take a walk, and let it speak.
It’s a JW Blue Label: an elixir.
Absolute icon and king of gourmands. Polarizing and ahead of its time. It has a reasonable resemblance to its sister Angel, but with a dark, earthy patchouli—not for everyone. The sillage is heavy and the longevity is eternal, even on clothes and after a shower. Imagine an old library with a cup of coffee with milk and a chocolate-honey bun, with a hint of jasmine drifting in through the window. It combines the sweet with the bitter of patchouli and a floral note. A jewel of the 90s. In stores it sells for 90€/100ml, online it hovers around 60€.
Just one spray and this perfume proves itself a masterpiece of its time. It’s an iconic gourmand that needs no explanation. I’d never smelled anything like it—a captivating, warm, and sweet blend that creates mystery. The longevity is insane: 8 hours on skin with the same intensity. The sillage is powerful but not cloying; people smell it from across the room. Brutal, and I loved it.
