A*Men (for men)
Designer: Thierry Mugler Olfactive Group: Oriental Woody
!Elegant and masculine woodsy note of patchouli and Atlas cedar develops after the metal accord of mint and lavender. At the end, the intensive woodsy composition turns into an explosive energy of coffee and stirax in the warm musk and Tonka surrounding.
The bottle was designed by Thierry Mugler himself, and there are two variances – a shiny metal one and rubbery black. The fragrance was launched in 1996.
The nose behind this fragrance is Jacques Huclier.

This fragrance is lovely and crucial. Famous and outstanding. You cannot get any sweeter than Angel. it is refined and maybe the most important edt of the 90's.

Cappucino with incense!
Oh, how clever this scent is! So like Angel, but where the gourmand chocolate/vanilla softness of the feminine version just keeps coming, here a spicy undertone builds very softly, without every being too dry or rasping.
I find the whole 'smelling like a cookie' aspect of modern perfumery very curious. Chocolate and vanilla were long considered aphrodisiacs, particularly for women; is this why so many of us love the suffusing rounded sweetness of Angel? many men love the smell of Angel on me; on themselves they are less sugar inclined. No way do they want to smell like home baking!
In A*Men, the gourmand element is elegantly curtailed and balanced with spice and patchouli; a scent for a man with confidence in his own allure, A*Men is something of a hedonist. I can't imagine a man wearing it in the office. Like its angelic sister, A*men comes into its own at night or in cooler weather. Unlike the beautiful blue star, it hasn't been overdiscovered - yet!

@ ahmed ehab: I think it's ok to use it at night (not so hot night though). I live in a tropic country so I do not have winter. One warning though, this one is very controversial, some might love it dearly, some might hate it guts, so be sure to try on your skin, wait at least 8hrs before you decide to buy it.
Hope this help

heey, ive seen that this scent has a high rating for winter so does that mean that it wont be nice for summer and like hot waether but at night not in the morning ?????? i dont want it to be over powering so is it good fo night in summer ?????
06/08/09 20:23:23
yeah very rarely do i find a cologne with CHOCOLATE in it so this is a must have, i got the diable bleu so i wouldnt have to wait 8 hours for it to smeell good and paid 10 but this is a MUST HAVE scent for the night club its very edgy and chicks love it

My favorite fragrance ever...the chocolate notes got me it was love at first sniff, so different from any cologne i have tried...the candylike apeal just send me back to my childhood...oh i love those caramel notes...the honey just wraps you arround...and the coffee o my god combines so well with the patchouli...
05/14/09 01:49:35
Too caramelish sweet and strong. It smells cheap because of the sugary note associated with the vanilla. If it hadn't been for this note, it would have been a great woody-incense-vanilla scent. It is also very common, and I do not know why many men in my country use it in the hot summer days. This one is not for that even if applied sparingly.
04/26/09 14:46:25
I get patchouli right away, along with caramel, milk and honey. The sweet notes don't stick around long. After that youre left with patchouli and musk. It's very sharp and has a body odor note... kinda odd... like some guy went on an eating binge and scarfed down 50 carmelo bars and raided a bag of sugar then the sweat from all that work started to mix with the musk that he put on that morning!
04/19/09 20:10:54
....good scent...DELICIOUS, CAKES, CARMEL at the beginning....leater very masculine cologne ....... but i have to say hmmm a bit boring withaout something deeper..in 2 houers smell all the time hmm on the same level..i thing ICE MAN is the BETTER version of those scent becouse of this deeper backround and more interesting becouse all the time ICE MEN change the character....but it is only my opinion )
04/01/09 16:11:15
This one is not that bad IMO. Actually, it'll smell so good if there's no "cat pee"-spicy effect interfere with the sweet chocolate smell in the dry down. Not as unique though since this is the smell of most Oriental Woody fragrances.
03/22/09 14:04:23
Ok’ I officially admit I’m Thierry Mugler fan. And this fragrance is another masterpiece. It should be used directly on skin, because it needs warmth to develop. It has some dirty masculine note, that wouldn’t always be appreciated by women, but by gay guys definitely.
03/04/09 09:52:59
I prefer B men to A men.but about description..
at the first sniff it's masculine and just a bit sweet.I think it gets it's masculine power and sharpness from bergamot and lavendar.
but after less than 5 minutes it becomes so damn sweet.it's the same smelling of angel.I really can't recognize if it's a man perfume or female one!
I can't take a woman who wears sweet to this extend,so obviously a man would be untakeable!

delicious and sensual

Today I felt like visiting a long lost friend. That friend being A*Men.
It was nice to be surrounded by the creaminess and sweetness of this fragrance. Just a short spritz is all you need. As I was walking to work today, I kept getting a smell of the scent. The smell cause me to have a craving for a Caramel Macchiato from Starbucks.
Every once in awhile it is nice to be able to catch up with a long lost friend. I am glad I have kept this fragrance in my collection since its release in the late '90's.

just one word:LEGEND!!!!!!!!
01/07/09 15:28:31
Very strog at first! after 2 hours is creamy, delicious -> yummy! Long lasting, unique, warm on the skin, it goes to "imaginary world", everything..! Superb! (but not everyone likes it)! Le Male and A*men - No.1 for me.
12/21/08 10:18:26
Delicious, foody and woody, but can be easily overpowering.
12/14/08 17:09:08
Sweet,magical,and unique.I such adore the warm base notes.
12/13/08 17:20:11
I wear this. I wear it on the weekends and I wear it to bed, because I'm just not brave enough to wear a well-known men's fragrance in public. To me the original Angel smells like it's missing something. Whatever it is, A*Men's got it.
When you close your eyes and inhale, you get the bergamot first, tartly fruity over the wood, coffee and caramel.
But I don't get as excited about trying to pick out each note as I do about the combination of these smells.
The total effect here is midnight mass at a cathedral. It's thick incense, rich and inspiring, and a bit dark.
The scent is more masculine than feminine, its true, but mostly it's just rich and sensuous. This stuff just smells good.

masculine, virile, complex and sweet. not for every man and should be used with care. even 2 sprays could be overpowering. should never be sprayed on clothes because it lasts forever on them :)
10/25/08 12:07:59
to me, reasons for the fuss about this frag remain unclear. it's not really shocking at all. different? well, maybe in comparison to all those boring, citrusy, straight-forward scents you stumble upon on every corner.
A*Men is extremely well blended and it owns one of kind type of projection: clouds and clouds of warm coffee, patchouli, vanilla and caramel without ever being aggressive or obnoxious. one of my top 5 favorite designer fragrances.

This is for me the Angel created for men. Just like the women's version it can create a lot of debate, due to the sweetness of it.
Not unpleasant, although tenacious, it does turn heads wherever it goes (of approval and disapproval).
I personally prefer BMen - more woody and somehow more manly.

MMMMM i'm not sure about thierry mugler's fragrances mans and womans they are so plastic so laboratory fragrances except cologne which i found it very green fresh and irresistible
09/30/08 07:19:43
I love this one but iam not sure on b men
09/27/08 03:56:01
I prefer B men. A men is too sweet it makes me sick.
08/29/08 21:38:51
You should have ( at least ) one. Uniquely sweet, modern, strong. So damn attractive.
08/27/08 09:01:21
My favourite...not common at all, very warm on the skin...it has the right point of sweetness,it lasts for hours and it is not absolutely feminine...I think is a perfume for a confident men and absolutely uncommon and not banal
08/25/08 07:29:28
Ewww.... too sweet even to be a perfume. It smells like sugar and extremely feminine. Either you will like it or you will hate it. Personally I would absolutely not recommend this cologne.
07/09/08 18:20:50
Sweet, chocolatey and strong..very nice fragrance.
07/02/08 17:34:30
Very hypnotic, addictive and unisex
