A*Men Thierry Mugler for men

Warm,dense,sweet,chocolaty, caramelized,thick, bit of spice and incense in middle phase.

Very harsh opening, very pleasing dry down. Try it on skin and give it some time to develop.
ideal for very cold weather, not many guys wear it. Projection, longavity are one of the best you can get.

Smell- 7.5/10 (dry down)
Projection- 10/10
Longavity- 10/10
Uniqueness- 8/10

I'll keep this short and sweet, excuse the part pun..

When I first sprayed this and got a whiff of it, I couldn't believe just how bad it was and couldn't understand all the reviews I had read.

BUT, then I happened to get another whiff off my arm 30 minutes later, an hour later, 2 hours later etc etc..

And what can I say, THIS fragrance just gets better as time passes. After an hour this is the most amazing smell IMO.

Smell - 9.5
Projection - 9
Longevity - 9.5

Overall - 9/10

Cop a squat, we're about to start...

Greetings to you my Internet friends, I am "Average Joe"... and dis is my review about dis smelly water called ay mens, or A Men or Hey Man by some guy named Theory Mugger.

Anyway, you wanna hear sumptin funny? When first sprayed, dis ting smells vaguely of cat piss.

But hold on there pee sniffer, after dat, Tah-Dah! some kinda magic happens, and after a half hour or so da cat piss turns into smooth clouds of sweet masculine loveliness!

Then, guess what? More friggin magic, dats what! Because then it mellows into something almost euphoric and more smoooooothly sweet than before!!

Dey should call dis stuff "David Blane...Street Magic Scent" cause it keeps changing right before your very eyes.

Anyhoo, I'm no homo but I love dis stuff, and to me dis stuff is pure magic, I just have to put a clothspin on my nose for the first 5 minutes after I spray it on.

Buy it? Steal it? Give it to your parole officer?

I would buy dis, no problem. Even retail price, it's dat good, and dats my review of A Men by Theory of a Mugger and I am just an "Average Joe".

Tanks for reading, I'll smell ya later.

Really weird Ekopengen i mean , the longevity is amazing and i have a really dry skin ..

Just Headache...

not for me..

@ Mick5781 : I don't think both A* Men and B* Men in my collection are fake bottles. I have checked the serial number in those bottles, and I bought them from reputable perfume which specialized in selling imported perfume. Maybe, those perfumes just don't match with my skin. Btw, I bought Terre d Hermes in the same store and just put 3 spray (one on neck, and one on chest), and I can smell it all day long. But, thanks anyway for your attention.

This has better longevity than creed git

Ekopengen you purchased a fake bottle for sure , this fragrance is prolly the one with the better longevity in my collection..

I am a female and received a sample of this.I sprayed it on me.Its wonderful.I am thinking of purchasing a bottle for me for next winter.Love it.

I originally tried Angel as it is such an iconic fragrance for women, but there was a note that seemed chemical to my mind. I didn't like it.

Then, my boyfriend and I were shopping for new colognes for him and we tested this. All I can say is "mmm". It is definitely addictive, sweet, and yummy on him and myself. When he wears this, I want to cuddle in to be enveloped by him and this cloud of patisserie like cologne, but it also inspires me to devour him in a carnal sense!

This perfume together with Thierry Mugler B Men have poor sillage and longevity on my skin. I don't know, maybe because i live in Indonesia which is in South East Asia that have tropical climate, these perfumes don't work very well.

The opening isn't too nice, like many people say, it starts off with an unpleasant tar note, but give it 30 minutes and this fragrance transforms in to a lovely smooth mix of chocolate, caramel and coffee - and this literally lasts for days. I've never smelled a fragrance with better longevity or projection than this in my life. I sprayed it once in my bedroom and the next day I could still smell it FROM A DIFFERENT ROOM - no exaggeration there either, it's a bomb.
One, maximum two sprays and that's all, if you overdo it with this beast you'll make people sick.
Great for the winter and you'll get a decent amount of compliments too.
Overall: A smooth chocolate and caramel beast in a bottle that lasts forever, people will smell you from across the room even if you're only wearing one spray. I'd recommend spraying this at least 30 mins BEFORE you go out though as the opening is quite sickly.

I like the base note, rather than the top notes of this A*Men from Thierry Mugler. Because the top notes definitely chocolate, caramel, sweet things, you name it! But when it comes to the base notes, it change into nice woody and grassy, with a bit touch of cocoa, what a magic.

I acquired a small tester bottle of Thierry Mugler A*MEN a while ago purely out of curiosity. Having now worn ANGEL's little brother (or is it boy toy?) a few times, I finally feel qualified to issue a verdict.

I only don this juice in anticipation of a coffee bath (I have expresso-scented showergel (-:), and what I find is that on the whole it smells as though someone spilled a venti Starbucks all over the interior of his brand new car. The experience induces in him an intense headache, first, because of caffeine deficiency and, second, because of the thought of how much it will cost to clean the mess up.

I will not be buying a second bottle.

Alright, I FINALLY added this to my collection. What else can I say that hasn't been said before? But here are my 2c anyway.

Presentation and Bottle:

Plain box, nothing special. I got the rubber flask version. When I first saw this bottle with the rubber without having smelt it, I actually thought it was a sports frag. How wrong was I :p? Anyway, I do like the bottle and that blue iconic star. Good sprayer also.

The juice:

Opens up warm but a tad too strong. It is quite bizarre to be honest. People have mentioned it opens up like some sort of "tar" scent. I am leaning towards agreeing with them on that point but it's not THAT bad.

After 15-20 minutes or so, this scent becomes much sweeter. You instantly find yourself in a good coffee shop in the cold winter.

I get warm buttery caramel with a latte on the side. Very strong projection so please be kind. In the dry down, and I am talking after many many hours, I smell dry chocolate.

Final prognosis:

I do love it after having disliked it at first. I only need two sprays max. Insane longetivity and strong projection. A cold weather classic.

It smells like burned sugar with coffee.

Actually the first time i sprayed this perfume on my arm i smelled so strange and bad ...it's too steong for me ...and after 1 day i give a chance more for this angel and after i did the shoot on my arm i'm so confused ,the smell not too bad ,and for make sure i took the second shoot after that i really felt in love with this one ...here's some trick for you to use this perfume use it when you are really at cool time then sprayed it on your body and you're rady to hunt a nice chick out there

GAME CHANGER.

It took me a while to appreciate this. The first time I tried it, I had to wash it off. Then, I bought a few of the flankers (Pure Malt, Pure Havane, Pure Coffee etc). I then found myself wanting to give the original a whiff again...

Boy, am I glad I did. This fragrance has the best drydown of any fragrance I've ever experienced in my life. Velvety chocolate, coffee and caramel. The opening is an acquired taste. I hated it at first, but now I absolutely love it. Spray lightly, and this doesn't become cloying.

If you don't have the balls to wear this - don't. It's a statement fragrance. A total game changer.

I can't stand any of Thierry Mugler *Man scents and this is worst of them. It makes me wonna puke.
It is one of those love or hate, I hate it...
A*Man - hate
Kouros - hate
Fahrenheit - LOVE

This is a "signature" for me. Opens with a bitter almost sour lavender/mint note, but this tames quickly and is followed by a mix of pipe tobacco, coffee and sweet chocolate. The base note is a fantastic bittersweet chocolate that works perfectly with my chemistry. This is a top five for me, but winter only!

Can't stand this one. It smells like burnt plastic.

The Marmite of juices...love or hate.This is a great fragrance for the winter nights...love it

This stuff makes my hair stand on end. Everyones in intitled to their opnion bu this stuff i dont know how ppl love it so much ugghh i could never ever wear this stuff EVER!!! but ppl love it and say it the best stuff idk i never liked or will or any of thierry muglers flankers of it..

So so good. Nothing compares to the smell, there's just nothing like it... But, unfortunately, this isn't for everyone to wear. It's a MUST TRY BEFORE YOU BUY kind of fragrance, because it reacts so strangely with every skin. For example, a friend of mine wears it at times and his skin settles more the woody aspect of it, while on my skin is the caramel that stings to everyone. All in all, you smell the same and you can tell it's A*Men, but with a different interpretation.

A must smell fragrance, a smelling adventure.

great scent its one of the few scents with a great chocolate drydown and its very sensual. A'men and it's newer versions are strictly club and night time scents but could be worn more subtle for an office setting because of their great smell

honestly these scents are the best out of the dept stores and have MUCH more to them than many other scents on the same counter

Could a female wear this? Because it really is feminine.

I sprayed it on a paperstrip, OMG it was vile and soooo bad. I smelled things I never wanted to smell in my life. Where was the chocolate, the caramel and the honey????? Was this what they are raving about???

I sprayed it on my skin:

I don't get the tar note on my skin, I'm so happy! I smell coffee, chocolate, vanilla, caramel and patchouli. It's easier to wear than the female version during the day.

Very sweet, strong and unique scent which i really enjoy. Specially I like the dry down. Definitely winter/fall fragrance. Longevity and projection are insane so its good. Smells like coffee and milk blended with caramel and little bit of honey. Unrepeatable, sexy smell. Overall 9/10

darrshan

very nice fragrance for winters . its sweet but feels very good, u hav to wait after initial sprays for an hour b coz its very good after it settles.

I think it smells great, and I love the manly yet delicious chocolate aroma it surrounds the wearer in. However I wouldn't buy it, because I wouldn't want to use a fragrance that although some people love, many people are passionate against it and isn't the point of fragrance to smell good (to everyone)? I'd use a shower gel of it or something but it's too risky to wear an EDT that so many downright hate.

All I get is caramel and coffee. In the first few minutes of applying it had a weird, plasticine-like smell. Not very nice in my opinion.

Nice scent, it reminds me a lot of Zino, the Patchouli is very prominent in this one and in Zino aswell, i think it's strange that no one esle mentioned the similarity between those two.

Although, after a minute or 20 the similarity fades away and the slightly sourness cooperates very well with the sweetness of this scent.

I don't think this is a safe scent in any way, it's something you either like or don't like, and if you don't like patchouli this one will be hated for sure.

I like it.

Oh no. Men please don't wear this. Try Shalimar EdP instead, it's much more virile and seductive. A*Men is nauseating.

A*Man, together with Acqua Di Gò, L'Eau D'issey and a bunch of other mass-market fragrances was surely a groundbreaking release during the 90s. Its minty-chocolate top notes paired with a strong caramel-coffee accord gave birth to one of the most innovative and distinctive smell in modern perfumery but I still can't say I like it. It may be because A*Men has been overused (ad nauseam) by herds of teenagers overwhelming the population with its overly sweet aroma, it may be because after A*Men, Thierry Mugler invaded the market with countless (and IMO pointless) micro-variation on the main theme, it may be that, after all, A*Men is just a less radiant version of Angel but, as a matter of fact, I don't like it.

That being said, this is probably one of the best option to get introduced to a genre that, during the years, had a little more to offer...

Rating: 8.5/10 (for its relevance)
3/10 (for my personal taste)

This Thierry Mugler's fragrance for men stands apart from the rest. Unique, quite sweet warm smell. Angel for men gets 2thumbs up from me

A masterpiece! Divides opinion due to the burnt caramel in the opening and it's sweetness. Incredible silage and longevity plus the ability to keep me guessing every time I where it makes this a true classic in my eyes. A must try for anyone!

This scent is truely unique!! When first applied, you smell the lavender and the coriander. Then in the dry-down, you begin to smell the mixture of vanilla, chocolate, honey and coffee which is heavenly in my own opinion. I get compliments everytime I wear it!...which is usually in the Fall and Winter. I HIGHLY recommend this fragrance!!! Thanks, God bless!

10/10

Do not judge a book by it's cover! Not so great at first spray but gets better and better as it goes on. And believe me it goes on and on and on, especially if it gets on clothing!

9/10

Hard to handle at first spray, top notes are over powering. But give it 5-10 mins, and you will fall in love with this! I myself have had many compliments.
Beautiful dry down. I must admit, this is a love or hate fragrance, and you must be brave to wear it.
Also a silage monster!
Projection is great!

Overall - 9/10

I think this fragrance is not like Aquolina-Blue sugar, not too sweet and caramelly, it's like an insence, pleasant woody scent, good for men and women:)

REVIEW OF DARRSHAN

NOW OK , I TRIED THIS B FOR SOME YEARS I JUST HATED IT,BUT B FOR FEW DAYS I VE STARTED USING THE VILE OF THIS AND I HAV CHANGED MY MIND, ITS STARTS VERY HEADY AND NOT FRIENDLY GOOD SMELL TYPE, BUT AFTER 2 HRS THE REAL SMELL STARTS AND IT SETTLES TO A BEAUTIFUL SWEET SCENT, THIS IS REAL GOURMAND PERFUME AND NOT FOR THOSE WHO LIKE CITRUS AND FRESH SCENTS. ITS A LOVE OR HATE NOT AN EASY ONE.

Another Unique and rather inventive, and extremely Gourmand Chocolate fragrance. Unisex. I can imagine this on a female. I don't find all of the other notes listed in here... i just dont.. it's just toasted Brown sugar, heated caramel, Peppery Vanilla. It's almost a slightly burnt sugar scent. A Bit quirky, but the dry Down is a peppery spice, like a food pantry in the winter. The Peppery Chocolate note is pleasant actually, Appetizing like a Cinnamon bun topped with black pepper and dark chocolate syrup.
I Must admit i disliked it at first because of the burnt sugar note.... but each time i give it another chance to Mature, i like it more... and more.
The DryDown is always the best part.. it's a curiously sweet cacao mustiness... that harmonizes seamlessly with a guy's body smells... and to be specific, (please bare with me on this) it's like... when you lick someone, let the saliva dry, and then sniff that spot. Strangely addictive. Like the Sauce is to steaks, A-men is to armpits. I think it's the Patchouli & Styrax.
It highlights ones own body odors, working alongside it rather than covering it up. I think people don't realize that that's what they find attractive about this.
Having said that, I'm reeeeeally curious of Muglier's "Womaninity". I wonder if he got the woman smell down too.

A*Men is WAAAAY Better than the AXE body sprays and Deodorants, the "Dark Temptations"(Tonka Coumarin overdose) Line. Heck, compared to that, Angel Men is Awesome!! This is what Axe failed to do.

This scent is great. But I had to get used to it. It takes some personality to where this stuff. And I'm not sure I'd where for summer but i haven't tried in the summer heat yet. It's great for the fall/winter, really cozy. Like most, I notice the "edible" notes and patchouli very heavily in the front, after the first spray. I'm not a huge patchouli fan but on my skin the patchouli fades and what remains for hours is a subtle, NOT too sweet chocolate, powdery, tobacco aura. If i spray on my skin then put on a shirt the patchouli stays on the fabric but not on me, which i quite like.

Very interesting and unique fragrance, but not one I would like to wear. If you like to wear this fragrance, you need to be aware that most people around you don't like it. The name makes this fragrance popular, otherwise its not a real shining star like its sister. It is very feminine with the sugary tones. There was a customer in the Sears that I work at and he tried "A*Men" on one arm and "Le Male" on the other. He asked about its popularity and I told him that "A*Men" is very particular. He wouldn't believe me, so he took it to the aisle and started asking other customers and associates around him. He probably asked over 30 different people. Only one grandmother said she liked "A*Men". The majority of the women said its repulsive and a few said it smelled like a very sweet incense. If you have to wait 2-4 hours for it to tone down...consider the fragrance to be offensive to the majority of people.

just bought this, all i can say is WOW !!! this is a great fragrance for men. i can detect caramel,coffee,vanilla,honey and milk from morning until evening. Great design, great sillage,delicous smell. well done !

I conducted an experiment sprinkled dior homme intense on my scin after 15min sprinkled a*men on it after 5hours a*men completely disappeared and dior smell like the first time i was shocked dior homme very longest longest longest SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH

Over-hyped in my opinion, I don't know why it's so popular. Great projection, as most are aware which is the best thing about this frag I think, and the longevity. But aside from that the scent is nice but just doesn't appeal to me that much, and it's not something I really want to project. Very unique, especially for it's time, but not a buy for me.

My boyfriend used to use it and it makes me sick. I don't like men smelling like a giant cookie!

10 out of 10! I love this fragrance so much, its the type of fragrance that sticks for ages and has me following my nose anytime someone is wearing it - absolutely melts me! YUM!

Best of the Mugler line by far....

I wore this yesterday... My girlfriend told me I was gonna get raped... :O ! However she hated the opening and so do I, very strong and harsh.
Apply 1 hour before you leave and you should be fine. Very unique and daring so you have to bring your best personality so you won't feel out of place with this one. Very good quality fragrance and impressive development. If you dare to wear it and can wear it then this is a no-brainer.

My very first Thierry Mugler Fragrance and i say...AMEN!!!!! Can't wait to buy Pure Havane or Pure malt.

I've owned this since it first came out. I like everything about it except for one note, milk, because on me it stands out as kind of a sour note--like listening to a fine symphony where one player is way off key. Still, overall I like it. I'd give it a 7.5/10. If it weren't for that one note I would have said that this is one of the best mens frags of all time.

I totally love this parfum and don't like the women version at all.
Has a long lasting power, even after a shower is amazing.

I am so in love with this fragrance. I have the original 'Angel' basically the female version of this and I love it (I'm one of those weird people that love angel as well as alien, lol), but when I smelled the mens 'A' men' oh wow! My initial thought was that I like this more than the womens, if it was just a touch less masqueline, I'd ditch angel for it...so what I found myself doing is layering angel on top of a small spritz of A'men (which I bough on ebay used for myself, lol) I also like buying my favorite mens cologne so that when friends come over to check out my ..ehhm....'enormous collection, I can also share with them my male friends..as well as using it on my unsuspecting victims :p

I have the black rubbery bottle with glass star that nicely shows the blue juice beneath, and I just love this bottle...it's different and unique without being girly at all! I think this is an excellent fragrance for either a young man with more eccentric taste or an older gent with a young heart, it's better worn in the cooler to cold months... this might be a bit heavy for the summer... but a cool summer night? sure! longevity I found to be 6'ish hours...which for my skin is GREAT, my boyfriend it lasts (correction ''lasted'' all day!)

The A'men flankers..like malt (i believe) sound amazing as well cant wait to sniff :-)

As an 18th birthday present for my brother he requested that I get him this. I honestly don't know if I like it or not. It's this very complex mix of notes that can slap you in the face at first but I do know I LOVE the dry down to the end notes. My brother, thinking it would be funny, sprayed me with it and after a couple hours I was like "what is that amazing smell?" forgetting he had sprayed me earlier. I just might wear this myself sometimes, so much for him thinking he could get away with making his sister irritated.

This one is a love or hate one. Definitely a daring choice for anyone coz its an uncoventional men's perfume. Has an extemely long lasting power. I'm wearing it since I was 19 years old and I get many compliments about it.

amazing stuff. girls love it, men hate it. chocolate, caramel, honey, vanilla and spicy notes. incredible longevity... I suggest AMEN only for clubs, dinners or dates.

I live in a place where it is hot even in late afternoons but this didn't stop me to use Amen.
Been using this frag for over a week now, what do i get? when sprayed sparingly (max two sprays only and i mean only). i got wonderful compliments.. when you've got a long day of activities ahead, after 5 hours or so of wearing it, you may spray once, lower throat area but just once and you smell consistently good and yum!

longevity and projection is great, dry down smells like dry tobacco and dry less sweet chocolate but wonderful. This is 10/10 since I haven't tried TM Pure Malt and Bond no. 9 I Love NY for All yet.

I love this perfume. it compliments on my skin but again, spray sparingly and you'll gonna get good notice especially from women. Since my place is hot, I put my frag on the fridge/chiller, but it's covered with the transparent plastic box. Didn't notice any change with the scent and longevity.

For me, this is my number 1 and just to share the rest of my best 9 so far: TM BMen, Burberry London, Aramis Havana, Versace The Dreamer, YSL Rive Gauche, Emporio Armani White for He, Paco Rabanne Ultra Red, Givenchy Very Irresistible and Lanvin Sport. Cheers!

u cant appreciate it from the first sniff cz the oppening is so strong and so sweet, u have to wait a couple of hours to discover its beauty, very strong sillage and lasting power

Dag, man. It is incredibly strong. But fantastic anyway. I wore it yesterday and I had to take Imitrex today because I have a migraine. Probably too much to wear and too much to expect others to bear but so what? The main thing it smells like is the fake chocolate smell that dog toys used to be infused with. Could be an ultra-glamorous women's evening-at-the-Copa scent. Like the lyrics to Virginia Plain:...midnight blue casino floors, dance the cha-cha through to sunrise...oh wow. Definitely exciting in a Flying Down to Rio kind of way, if you're up to it.

Katy Perry's "E.T" song in a bottle.Unique-sexy-inviting-warm a cologne with an attitude.Love it.

It’s very strong cologne with super longevity and projection. To my nose, it was a strong combination of tobacco and coffee. It reminds me those oily tobaccos using for hookah! Drydown is warm and it’s getting sweeter and darker. Good for daily usage.

یک عطر بسیار گرم و تند که آدم رو یاد تنباکوی نیمه سوخته قلیون میوه‌ای میندازه. دوام و پخش بوی خیلی زیادی داره و به مرور زمان شیرین‌تر و گرمتر میشه. به نظر من عطر خیلی برجسته و دلفریبی نیست. حتماً قبل از خرید و انتخاب، تست کنید

in my opinion, very small amount of us can "love at first sight" with this stuff. So strong and... something made you headache :(, but this one is truly thing you should learn to love it, after 1 or 3 hours, it will turn into something pretty good :)

This is potent stuff. I can't pull it off. I have a bottle missing about four of five sprays and am looking to make a trade.

Rodolfo, of course you can wear it. Here, in Brazil, I live in a really hot area but during the morning I wear it in just one spray. At night, two or three. Of course you'll be smelling very good and won't be going bad.

I live in a pretty hot place...
will I be able to pull it off with a single spray to the chest(no more than one)? I mean...will it be too strong, yet?

Oh god. I tested this today and i had really high expectations!

Sprayed on my arm, waited for like 2 mins... and... oh man what the hell is this smell... it was so bad.
... after 1 hour... damn this stinks! ran to the WC and washed this crap from my hand...could not stand it any more.

I really dont know why... but it smelled so bad on me.

honey, honey, honey. after 1h - honey, after 3h - honey.
Conclusion - bee farmer smell.

Amazing Fragrance for Clubbing , girls are crazy about it , i get compliment often when i wear it

To me it smells like a Choc Caramel Hot chocolate with a a bit of a salty smell to it, its very warm so where it on a cold day not a hot day, It wouldn't be good for a club or resteruant its more of a daily scent, stay at home scent to me at least, nice perfume but definelty a try before you buy 8.5/10

This time I will not describe that note and as is develops, 'cause I think in order tu ruin him the beauty of space!If the JOOP Pour Homme, the most revolutionary fragrance(meaby),this vanguard(certainly), perfumes BAUHAUS!I see that still causes controversy, wich is fine, I can only imagine how it was when it came out thee 96, horror film!I met him in 2001,we are glad 'cause I was ready for this type of shock.It was then when he came 96, maybe I would not be ready for him, this was all ok.I had my,me and them a shock, but an absolute pozitive,I was so unrealy, fascinating, absolute passion and joy in the ordinary bottle of perfume, on me and determine direction of my favorite perfume to date, types of gourmet sweet, slighty oriental, and therefore I told him, all my soul and heart thank!!!

great sillage
powerful projection
leaves a trail behind u
make your presence be known to others

wonderful

9.5/10

The most delicious gourmand male perfume I've ever smelled. People usually make good comments about it, but they don't ask the name, fortunately.

I love it. And when my flask come to the end, I'll buy a brand new one.

This is a nice sweet, musky, and woody fragrance. This fragrance brings me to my knees when I smell it on my boyfriend and I just want to smell him all day. Definitely has more of that sweet and very warm quality to it. Absolutely love this one.

Very powerfull scent!!!! For those who wants to be very!!! very!!!bad guys and also smell like ones!!! everybody will love-hate-desire you for your smell and at the same time will never forget you!!! The smell will stay impregned in places and furniture so you will be there even if you are not physically!!!

Great idea to wear it and dress all in black so you´ll become a real Bond Villian!!!!

REALLY COOL!!!!!!

This is saved from a thumbs-down by my own cautiousness. Not wanting to dog this fragrance for circumstances out of its control, I’m not giving the thumbs-down that I otherwise would have. The last time I wore A*Men, I applied it a half hour before launching into a 24 hour GI virus. The sensation of retching and the scent of A*Men are now gloriously bound in my nervous system. Oh, the irony of the coincidence of a gourmand fragrance and viral gastric distress.

But here’s what I thought pre-emesis: This is a gender bias on my own part, but there’s Angel (clever, quick and wonderfully badly-behaved) and there’s A*Men (a clod.) In trying to recalibrate the notes of Angel and sell it to the boys, Mugler fell prey to the mistake of all the Angel-imitators. It’s not the flavors, it’s the composition. There’s an irony to a 24 year-old woman wearing the short-skirted catholic schoolgirl look. And while a fetching 24 year old gay man might be able to pull it off, this look would not be ironic on a 24 year old straight, typically-masculine football player. It would be bad, not least of all for the fact that he (assumedly) wouldn’t want to wear the outfit. It’s not the skirt, it’s the intention and the modulation of the reference. A*Men misses the point of Angel and looks to her list of ingredients, not her bad behavior, for inspiration.

A very powerful, sweet and warming scent. Unique as well.
I like the smell of chocolate, coffee, caramel, candy ... but not in my skin. It doesn't match, no matter what. I can sniff and test it many many times, but i'm not getting used to it.

However, on the other side, it's an excellent fragrance to "gourmand" lovers, a must have. Just different from any other scents I've ever smelt.

Cautions: Make urself a favor and do not overspray it. 2 sprays max. And use only clubbing or winter days.

I love this so much and have so much to say on this, I dont know where to start or where to end, so I'll just say. WOW.... LOVE IT!

SEXY!!!!!
D+ esse perfume!!

I must say I HATED this when I first smelt it!!

The opening is really, how can I say,... maybe... "hard to smell"! And when I first tested I put this on the paper, and then I put in the trash bag!

The second time I smelt it, it was the same sensation in the first minutes, but since I put this on my hand instead of the paper,I went with this perfume a little more time! The first impressions were gone! After the opening, this turns into a smooth milkshake of caramel and coffee, with some delicious vanilla and honey! The drydown is one of the most amazing things I've ever smelled!

From one of the most hated, it is one of my favourites!

Thank you for this wonderful masterpiece, Thierry Mugler!

Vile. Smells like vodka, teriyaki and tire rubber.

This is an awesome fragrance... very strong and projective. I love it.
Must be tested first as you'll either love it or hate it.

spray this on. Wait 3 hours... then go out... the axe effect? nah. If that tar note is all i have to go through to get 12+ hours of a seductive coffee and caremel mystery, Amen!

easily 14 - 16 hours on my skin.. A close to the skin fragrance once it dries down, not a lot of projection after that, but it stays there for anyone who wants to come closer..

I just got it today at first i didn't like it but after sniffing my hand later i went again to the store and bought it smokey sweet caramel really nice

I don't know if it's just my asian sense of taste hiding the notes but this smells like something you eat for dessert not wear. Way too feminine. I might just buy one of the versions of it but this one does not impress me in the least. I guess it's one of those things you either love or hate.

This is fantastic! Warm, sweet and comforting. Works really well alone or combined with the female version. Like, one spray of A*Men on the chest and one spray of Angel on the wrists. The combination makes the chocolate more pronounced, with much more patchouli. I also like to lightly spray A*Men on my pillows and sheets in the morning, so I can go to sleep at night surrounded by that light chocolate/candy cane smell.

Another A-Men review?? Yes, I know it´s not very original, but I´ll try to keep it interesting.

I wont trash A-Men ( I don´t like it at all) but I just wanna say that this fragrance is a classic example of the variety of tastes in regard to scents and our need to accept these differences.

I´ve smelled this one on other people and I ´ve liked it, but on me it just sucks; this also is quite nice in my opinion, because any fragrance can become a masterpiece on the right skin.

I first bought A*MEN in 2000 as I had fallen in love with the fragrance. I thought it was original and different compared to other same-smelling mainstream fragrances. And it was my first designer fragrance. I remained faithful to this one for about 3.5 years, and then decided to kiss it goodbye and move on to something else. I still have a little bit left and the othe other day, just for the heck of it, I sprayed a few drops on my neck before going to bed. I shouldn´t have because I had problems falling asleep, thinking "I used to love this one?!?". I don´t know, it just seemed overpowering, too ruthlessly present. I can understand why people either love it or hate it- but to me, this controversial reception is an essential property any well-made fragrance should possess. I probably won´t return to it, but it does bring back a lot of fragrant (and other) memories...

Dark chocolate bar dipped in licorice and sprinkled with coffee beans. It is incredible, only takes one squirt and it lasts an eternity. Great for the colder seasons, can be worn for any occasion depending on your application. Not for me, I prefer the “tea” notes, but still deserves a thumbs up!

Angel Men By Thierry Muegler

This was the scent that started my hobby in collecting fragrances. Before I found the fragrance community on youtube, I was more familiar with the mainstream fragrances out on the market such D&G pour homme, ADG, le male, the dreamer, etc. This was the first fragrance that I came across that made me step back and say… wow, I never smelled anything like this before…. And than the hobby really began.

At first I didn’t even care for this scent, it was too new to my nose and too extreme. I was more used to the typical fresh/aquatics that constantly flooded on the market. After time however, I really began to appreciate and love this scent..

Angel is a gourmand concoction of incredible potency that has notes of chocolate, vanilla, caramel, and coffee. These sweet notes are blended with darker notes of tar, patchouli and musk which help create a gourmand that is not only sweet, but dirty and masculine at the same time. It is a sugary desert with a dark side. It is one of those fragrances that many have a love or hate relationship with. I find Angel to be a fantastic winter fragrance that is unique, long-lasting, and gets the job done during the colder months better than most other fragrances in the market. A little bit goes a long way, so it is also an economical buy. If you are looking for a unique gourmand that is bold, daring, masculine and very sweet look no further.

I gave this a pretty harsh review earlier, and now i'm eating my words.

As a gourmand lover, the first time i tried this on my skin, i was put off by the loud opening of Patchouli/tar combo, but now i came to embrace every single note in this masterpiece .

This is a statement fragrance, it asks for trouble, it forces you to state your opinion about it LOUDLY !

You hate it ? say it loud , it doesn't care .

You love it ? embrace it and join the cult .

I'm not gonna sit here and talk about the mouth watering dry-down of this masterpiece because it has been explained in reviews below .

I'm just here to give my sincere apologies to this "super hero" .

long lasting perfume and its sillage is powerful.
if i were a man, i would use it.
delicious

It's definitely a version of angel. Similar to the womens, but less sweet. Still very strong and overpowering at first. If you can bear it through that, the drydown of this is insanely delicious. It's very difficult to wait for, though. On me it took too long to get there- most of a day. Honestly. Not sure if I will ever try it on again again. I'll probably try, just to meet that amazing drydown again. I am female and I find it definitely more pleasant and easier to wear than the female version.

I love it so much, but when I smell it from the bottle. A few times I spray it on me with the big desire to work well on me, bue everytime it smells like mold. I think this smell comes from the patchouli and it's awful. The truth - I can't use it although the scent is incredible.

I was impressed with this perfume and bottle shape.

Although this fragrance doesn't really appeal to shy people.

A*men seems to be unisex fragrance. I's a strong hints of vanilla. The scent is sweet and spicy, lovely chocolate notes. This fragrance is typical Thierry Mugler's product- grabs you or you hate this, you can't ignore A*men:)

im such a sucker for chocolate....so i luv this one...

it is very strong and overpowering..but who doesnt like sweets?

thumbs up!

I suggest not being too harsh, moreover rudely harsh to the frag that gaines more than 600 votes.
In my opinion, i'd call this fragrance neat, gourmand and seductive. Women love candies, cookies so if u want to represent urself as a big sweet gentle guy, don't worry, wear it for ur date or to seduce/attract shorties/cuties/bellas (whatever))).
Moreover the base of A Men is really smooth, calm and sweet (again, but not as in the beginning) despite a bit too сandied inception. I recommend this perfume to all chocolate, vanilla, candy-lovers and to all those who want to smell tasty, nice, pleasant and notable. I consider it to be more afternoon/evening fragrance.
Generally, don't be afraid to test, experience and use new fragrances, cos' it's the best way to discover one's favorite and adorable

The most suffocatingly saccharine essence ever, IMO. Obnoxious it may be to me, but it has legions of devotees and a religious-like cult following. This fragrance is the prototype for modern masculine "gourmand" scents and it has inspired many imitators. All I smell is strawberry cheesecake, coffee and cotton candy.

I can't really establish myself as a respectable reviewer until I give Angel Men a decent review. I don't like it, but I'm gonna give it a fair chance.

Angel Men has a weird pissy-musty note in the top that turns me off. Otherwise it's a decent gourmand. The lavender, chocolate, and coffee are all pulled off great. I guess it's the caramel note or tar or whatever that goes off on my skin. Anyway, after about an hour Angel Men calms down a bit and segues into a smooth chocolate-patchouli drydown with the coffee note in the distance. This part of the fragrance basically lasts forever.

The problem I have with Angel Men is that it's a bit more sickeningly sweet than the women's Angel, and it has that strange unpleasant note in the top. The coffee note is great when I can smell it - which means I'll have to get my hands on some Pure Coffee. Otherwise, I'd rather just wear the original Angel.

FYI, I'm not a gourmand fan in general, but at least I gave it a shot.

Que porqueria.........get Animale Animale, it beats this by far at 1/3 of the price, or if you want to spend more, get Givenchy Play Intense, now we are talking!

Boy do I love this stuff… this certainly wasn’t love at first sniff but after training my to nose accept and embrace harsher notes, primarily the tar note, I grew to love this.
The scent is reminiscent to a slice of chocolate cake drenched in an espresso caramel coffee. Picture yourself in a Starbucks that’s in a chocolate factory.
*Monster projection
*Monster silage
*Monster longevity
I travel during the summer to wear this in the winter !

I hope this one don't get so popular as Le Male,because a masterpiece deserves to be unmistakable,and not a habitual smell that is used in any occasions in any time,as happened with Le Male,without discernment and suitable situation.

Ah Ha
So Sedcutive

the tar note is certainly present. when i sniff it on myself it smells like someone has just come out of a cigarette smoke filled room. not sure i like it much.

I like this alot its very nice gourmand creamy smell although I personally prefer the womens version maybe because of its sugary smell while A*MEN has more of creamy smell

I JUST LOVE THIS FRAGRANCE!!! PERFECT!

The top smells like a$$ but after wards the drydown is amazing. Makes me hungry all the time. This can kill someone on a summers day though.

Thierry Mugler is surely the best brand of perfume in the world ...
Especially the female's range ...
I'm sorry there is no such a wide range for men ...

As for A * Men, I can say that for my tastes is a great scent ...
Wonderful longevity and projection ...
If so could use a perfume for the rest of my life, maybe choose this ...
It is impossible to get tired of this wonderful smell ...

You look at how complex Angel for women is right at first spray you receive sweet juicy berries against aged rich patchouli and you know your nose is going to be in for a complex ride.

The men's version on the other hand is just a rambling of mish mashed items thrown together. I feel that Mugler was not involved in this creation as with the womens and not much time was devoted to it. The women's took about 4 years to create the mens ..3 months maybe?

What lacks in the men's version is any contrast that the ladies has. This scent is just very sweet vanilla chocolate down dry that dominates the whole fragrance. I don't know why tar was added but it does play such an affective role as the patchouli in Angel. I can see why after this Mulger no longer ventured out into any new Men's scents.

A story for you before i give my review :).

About 5 years ago, my mother managed a lancome at a local mall, and she would bring me different samples at least once a week. I specifically remember the day she brought this to me. I had cleaned my room, and was laying on my bed. She walked in with the typical weekly bag of samples, i gave her a kiss and said "thank you".
I then ripped into my bag of goodies only to find that i'd smelled them all before. Except for one...AngelMen. I thought to myself, AngelMen? I had never heard of it before. I read the card, and removed the little black sprayer which read, "a*men" with a little star, and the words Eau de Toilette. I sprayed it on my skin, and was in love ever since.

This scent if nothing else is unique. It starts out with a blast of earthy, savory patchouli with some sort of coffee mixed in there.

As it begins to dry down you get that "fresh asphalt in july" smell. It must be the tar note in it giving it that effect.
Also on the "aftersmell" the little half second after you're done inhaling a fragrance, i get this INSANE blast of hearty spices, almost like a nod to B*men. I understand B*men to be a spicy fragrance. A*men dries down into a creamy coffee dream with some very stringent patchouli left over.

This fragrance makes you feel studly and famous(at least it does for me), and i couldn't help but "sex-glare" every attractive person i saw that day, because i was sure they could smell me from 30 feet away. This fragrance puts me in the mindframe that everyone one wants a piece of me, and so far, is the only fragrance to do so.


I approve

WOW

Sticky, Sweet, chocolaty, tingled on my skin and made itself known in a cute way to others

Lasts 16 hours

Suits the teddy bear cute man, cuddly and nice, yet fun and seductive and could jump out of a birthday cake...

Quality

Too strong and overpowering. Screams out, "Hey look at a me!" Not in a good way. Way too sweet also. Won't be buying a bottle anytime ever.

What exactly leads you to rank a perfume as feminine or masculine? Most of niche perfumers refuse debate on gender by ranking their stuff as unisex. Clive Christian No1 for men - for example - can be a feminine perfume as well.
The fact is that we sort them on our pre-knowledge. We've learnt what smells too hot and floral like this one, is a feminine perfume. Of course its time is passed, but around classical ear men used to wear highly deep floral perfumes and make up their face with cosmetics! For that time it was routine and chic!
When the border between men and women is hiding gradually, it's not necessary to rank a perfume as feminine; specially a mostly men's favorite!

OMG!!!! ESTE PERFUME ES LA DEFINICION DEL PERFUME, SENCILLAMENTE INCREIBLE, DULCES, CHOCOLATES, VAINILLAS, MADERAS, CARAMELOS TODO EN UN MISMO FRASCO, ES Y SERA MI FAVORITO SIEMPRE!! LO AMO!!

با سلام
نیاز به توصیف نیست
کاری است بازم مناسب فصل سرد سال
و جذاب هم می باشد
از همه نظر عالی
اگر برای فصل سرد سال می خواین یه عطر خوب داشته باشین این همونه
با احترام

Wow a truly unique frag. I could really smell the coffee. Although it smelled very unique and incredible on paper, the frag did not go well with my body chemistry, it became cloying and began to smell funky (in a bad way) in the dry down. Perhaps it will provide better results for others. I'll stick with B*men for now.

I wouldn't want to smell this on a male.

On my skin
Top : What the hell is this? LOL! Tar + Tobacco + coffee at the top?

Middle: OH! Now it morphs into Vanilla! Tonka Bean! Chocolate! Coffee! Vanilla! Honey! (At this point, this scent just keeps on going, and going, and going, and going, and going, and going, and going, and going. Sweat all you want. Rub all you want, it just hangs there, LOL)

Base: Similar to the middle, but tone down.

WTH is this! LOL! This is a Cookie factory bomb! Its is chocolate, vanilla bomb! This fragrance, omg, so damn strong!

EDT? This should be EDP! With the warning sign saying: Warning: Wear it at your own risk, we are not responsible if you get cloying and people think you are that cologne guy.

But the sprayer sucks XD

Unisex to me, the top note doesn't last long, so ladies, you may wanna try this XD


2 on each arm and 2 on each pulse points, quickly dap on your neck.

My rating (base on 5 stars)

Scent: 5 (Cookies!!! Wo hoo~~~~!!).

Sillage: 5 (WTH, this is a cookie bomb).

Time length: 5 (Get ready for the next 24 hours!).

Occasion: 1 (Clubbing, or you wan to go to a cookie factory, LOL).

Overall base on mathematics: 4/5

You know who can wear this! Charlie! Charlie in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!

You can't remain indifferent to A*Men.
People admire it or hate it madly.
Defenitly not a frag for a 1st date.

Personally, i think it's one of the richest frag ever created.
Longevity is crazy. about 12 hours on my skin.

didn't enjoy it((( smells like burned sugar

As i was driving to my job there was only one thing that came to my mind: childhood...it could be strong at the beggining , but it milds pretty soon...a wonderful concept for a fragrance that is not trying to sell sex, power or money; it goes beyond that...it talks about the power that grants self confidence to wear it...chocolate: yes; tar: yes; milk, honey and coffee: you bet.A unique masterpiece.

100/100

It's best men perfume from Thierry Mugler. Best bottle design.Best sweet type male perfume good for cool day and night time.It's very strong. Don't worry about longevity.It 's over 10 hours.Usually, I love this brand .And I love A* Men too. This is one of my favourite.

Definately strong and if over applied can be a nightmare for yourself and those around you. 1 spray only and not on exposed skin. 1 on the chest and 1 on the wrist at the most. Now, why is it so popular then? It's like walking through Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. It's a love or hate with A*men, but the drydown alone is worth the price of admission.

This fragrance goes beyond everything.It was a book woul be:The night of wishes by Michael Ende,it is a'alchemy,a magic potion on Christmas Eve where the children waited for their sweet,and now become adults rediscovering these moments in this perfume that smells of chocolate and coffee.The time machine also passes the smell...
VERY LONGEVITY
VERY FANTASTIC
VERY BOOMBASTIC

First time I sprayed this one at a store I didn´t like it at all. Then I tested another day and it is ok. Another test and wow, I started to like it and bought myself a bottle and now I just love it. Not daring to me anymore. Very sweet chocolate drydown.

Projection: 9.5/10
Longevity: 10/10
Bottle Presentation: 9.0/10
Overall: 9.0/10
This is a try to me.

The very first time I tried this one, I was actually disgusted with the drydown. So much thick sweetness, impossible to bear. Yet, every time I enter a perfume store I just have to try it on. And every single time it keeps smelling better and better.

When i spray it on my arm, I just want to eat my arm. actually tried licking it, didnt taste very well, though.

I definitely am not bold enough, don't have enough self-confidence to wear this one. But I absolutely would not mind this one on a girl.

An awesome and seducing fragrance, not for everyone and really not for many occasions.

Amazing Fragrance , and Girls love it too , it's the perfume girls notice the most to be honest , dont over spray it and dont use it during summer though

i love it on other people but on my skin it smells horrible and very strong and offensive sadly i cant wear it any more !

Sweet, daring, warm! Don't let the blue star fool you, this is definitely a cooler season cologne. If you can't shell out the big bucks for this, there is a dollar store knock-off (Jaroche something or other) that smells hilariously close, for only a dollar! I wouldn't recommend wearing the dollar store version to a wedding or a club, but if you like the smell of A*Men's chocolatey goodness, try dollar tree.

Lot of caramel,vanilla,honey ,chocolat super sweet scent.
U can not wear a men daily .that's for sure.
Wear it in most cold days when u'r going outdoors,maybe skying or something like that.
Never for class,work ,summer or spring.
One shot of a men will give u 12+ hours longevity with a bomb projection!

A*Men is a powerful beast. It makes its presence known with firmness and from a distance. Because of this aggressive nature, it’s most definitely going to cause you to take a strong stance on liking it or hating it. The probability of finding someone that’s indifferent or on the fence about A*Men is so ridiculous, it would be about as probable as finding someone willing to defend the film Battlefield Earth that isn’t a Scientologist. It just won’t happen.

Angel has been considered the fragrance that brought extreme headway to the gourmand style of fragrances. With its thick layerings of dessert-like notes, the original Angel buried the “less is more” philosophy and crammed as much as it could into the scent. To make a grand understatement, it’s intense. The masculine version, A*Men, opted to drop most of the fruit notes, and substitute them with bit of a floral and citrus blend at the start, followed by the chocolaty caramel wave, and finally ending with vanilla, patchouli, and coffee. This is the best of what I can make out, at least. There’s actually an absurd amount more in this, but when you get hit with such a potent onslaught, picking out each individual note has a success rate on par with getting involved in a land war in Asia.

For the most part, you get a powerful mashup of a few very prominent notes, and the rest just float by undetected as your nose recovers from shock. Spraying this stuff is pretty much akin to kicking your nose in the crotch. It’s overwhelming, and for me, initially unpleasant. I find it too aggressive.

Luckily, as it dries down, it becomes much smoother. Still potent as all hell, but in a warm and tasty manner. The base notes of this fragrance are where it really shines. The caramel, vanilla, and chocolate are the most pronounced, but there’s the essence of patchouli hanging out at the sidelines as well. It’s a good thing I enjoy the base notes, since this stuff will last on your skin for a good 12 hours or so, easily.

I can’t think of any other fragrance that compels me to give a warning to people, but I feel this is necessary to anybody unfamiliar with A*Men. You have to be careful with this, not just in terms of how much you spray (Protip: Very little), but proximity as well. I sprayed this on each wrist the other night, one up close, and one farther away, and after about a half hour they were both totally different. The distant spray went into the nice and comfortable chocolate warmth, while the close spray still held on to the aggressive top notes I’m not very fond of, along with and almost burnt tinge. I also must stress that if you plan on spending your day in close confines with other people, such as an office or school, wearing A*Men is about as considerate as just not showering for a few days. Unless you work in a night club or something seedier, I would say it’s too aggressive for a professional setting.

All in all, this is a good fragrance to use in the colder time of the year, and for informal social events where you really want attention drawn to you. Be advised that A*Men throws subtlety out the window, and hopes it will hit someone on the way down. It will get noticed, and due to the style of it, it can just as easily garner negative reactions as it can positive. As an example, any time I would prefer to sleep on my girlfriend’s couch, I can wear A*Men when I visit her, and that just sorts itself out. Spray it at a distance, spray it modestly, and it should work out nicely for you. If you would prefer something subtle, or good for an all around use, this has very little to offer you.

Bought this 15 years ago first time when on vacation in the Canary Islands, am now on the 3rd refill. This is the most distinct perfume I know, it's quite... special. It's very strong too, I wish the spray would dispense a quarter it does. Since I bought this on Gran Canaria A-men is nicknamed "Canaria" in this household :-)

this is my second perfume from Thierry Mugler, first one is B*Men...yes I know B*Men comes way after this perfume, but somehow I like B*men because to me, it is more spicy than A*Men. Back to this perfume, I don't really like the opening...it is too sharp for me, but I let the middle notes take over and I start to like it, and the drydown...wonderful! It makes me feel comfortable, very good perfume!

I love this perfume on the first smell from the sample I got in 1998. I like pleasing aroma of warm coffee and vanilla after. Very powerful and long lasting smell.

A gourmand fragrance in my humble opinion; sensuous, sexy and very appealing to anyone with a sweet tooth! I love this scent and don't care that it is very pronounced in the sweetness department. Not a typical man's scent in the established sense, but elicits many a fine compliment from women nonetheless. Like a flowery shirt, if worn right and with confidence, the juxtaposition of gender 'norms' are often appreciated.

Unisex? It is certainly a male version of Angel already. Yet, it is unquestionable that those men who wears this are those who are courageous enough to tell the world who they are.

Smell of dessert in its first splash. Then, waves of wood and ferns eventually steps it, making it absolutely delightful for the entire day.

Preferable for day use.

I don’t know if its because I am older or if it is because they redid this one since I bought it when it launched but it smells nice. There was something very… unfinished that I remembered about the initial Angel. This however smells creamy, smooth but with a kick and punch that’s very exotic! I prefer my Euphoria ( I wear the one for women) to this since euphoria and Angel are in the same category. Anyway, nice job on this. I was pleasantly surprised that it smells different.

my review below was based off of a memory. this one was based off of my encounter today at Macys.

Ok i really liked the Axe Dark temptation , in the winter time. the girls also liked it ;). then i found out it was a imatation of A*men so went out and bought A*men in a flash!! So the oppening is harsh for the avrage person ! i personally like the opening. After about 1 hour this harsh opening fades away and the chocolat,carmel,mint and honey mix together and leave you with this HEAVENLY/SEXY/WARMING drydown. imagine walking into a pastry bakery during the winter time,and in that bakery ur chewing spearmint gum while smelling the chokolate cakes being baked ! thats what it smells like! This is my winter sig. scent so far! i adore this one! highly recomend it,the ladies will love you!

Projection: intense
Longevity: 18+ hours
smell: to die for
ocation: casual
season:winter

Right, A*Men is sweet and bold indeed. But damn bold. Annoying bold.

That heavy patchouli scent is, also, unattractive to me. Can't help it.

I'm not really sure if this fragrance is Angel's brother or sister, actually. But if you're looking for a strong and sweet fragrance, fella, there you go.


PS: honestly, don't buy it. Leave the sweetness for the girls. Appreciate that.

Angel for men just is not the bomb. Sorry. Angel for women is my favorite womens perfume next to Euphoria for women ( and don’t forget about cool water) anyway, I hate this for men. I was really disappointed too because I think that Angel for women is so stand alone that I was hoping for the same sensation with this… NOT! Its so rambunctious and thick! Ugh. I totally didn’t like it. Its like the cologne that never settles. Gave it away to a friend from Ethiopia who loved it. I was happy to see it go and he was happy to smell like…that! It really made me ill from smelling it. Not a good look.

My naive nostrils were not so lucky to be warned that they were not going to smell an Angel... more like some queen Bee in a remote beehive decided to get f?cked up on chocolate, snorted a couple lines of coffee, then OD on caramel, and got gang raped by skunks.

God damn it's funky; however after a while, within this strong aromatic mess there is an intriguing warm sweet strange smell worthy of respected originality. It absolutely lives up to Thierry Mugler's design aesthetics, beautiful in its bold and odd way.

The hairs on my arm rise to think of anyone applying this on a hot humid day... plz have mercy on us.

Longevity: very long.

I tried this at the Fragrance Shop today....and HATED it!! Its very unique no doubt, but smells awful. Sadly it reminded me of some industrial strength toilet disinfectant (from my childhood days in boarding school). Don't get the hype at all...:(

Yes, Yes, Yes...
Love the "tar note" top notes
Love the "chocolate cake mix" mid notes
Love the "cocoa baking powder" dry down
Awesome!

The woman's angel men isn't much different.. just doesn't have the tar note.

Men's side of A*Men should win "chemical-allergic" award in the industry.

I am for women's Alien (Angel would do too) but men's one... no comment.

I would comment other A*Men scents but copy+pasty will not do any good.

2/10

I love it on my husband!!!! I was longing for the IT perfume for my husband and finally I found the One. He loves it as well coz it's not so overpowering and it's different. He wear it everyday and it's signature smell now :) The chocolate, vanilla, coffee, sandalwood, and milk are the things that would remind me of him. A Men got them all, IN ONE BOTTLE. That the awesome thing about this perfume.

love the smell, not common, different to the others perfumes, long lasting & creative.. i like it very much. refillable, with 2 bottle already.

Smells fantastic! However, if you are on a budget, try Axe Temptation- the poor man's A*men.=>

B*men's older brother is a ratbag that still nuggies and wet-willies him. A*men is still a big child at heart and just wants to stir up the authorities and cause chaos.
I can see a relationship between the two. It seems as though B*men was set on a mission to pull his mischievous sibling into gear with a stern backbone, that is outside o fighting crime. Do not let them spend too much time together in one room, they're just too noisy and obnoxious and they do not get along. Any room is better off dealing with just one.
A*men will always be the boisterous, dominant, yet reliable elder, without insult or jealousy.
A*men is fantasically gourmand, with cappuccino, chocolate, milk, beeswax, tonka and the woods being immediately apparent. Most other notes are subtle and the fruity notes barely noticeable, to my nose, making it essentially a gourmand fragrance.I don't consider it oriental woody, I class at a creamy food fragrance, sweets being the main attraction.
The projection of this masterpiece is powerful and in control, not offensive but more intimidating. That said, I would recommend to anyone who loves Black XS, Boss Soul, Ralph Polo Double Black, or if you love D&G the One for it's smoky dominance.

I really dig this scent even though I agree that it is not the most versatile scent out there. It is strong, longlasting, and has great sillage that many people can appreciate. To me, the opening is very minty but I don't think that the strong opening is as unbearable as many say but I do agree that the dry down of the scent is a masterpiece. I get plenty of chocolate, caramel, vanille, and mint in this fragrance.
10 out of 10

Ah Angel Men, what to say what to say?...Alright folks let's face it, if you have ever smelled this you will know that Angel Men is either a love or hate kind of scent. It has minty chocolate & a powdery effect on your skin. I own this fragrance and I like it, eh about 2 hours after it's been put on my skin. It honestly never really wears off so thats great for you who love it, & horrible for those who don't.

Strong and dense, and almost gourmand. What I get out of A*Men are (condensed) milk, chewy caramel, coffee beans, honey, white floral, musky amber, and sandalwood. All of these wraps around pachouli. It's not something I could wear all the time, but it's a nice welcome, and it's great to wear something out of ordinary once in a while. If you like sweet and heavy scent. Give A*Men a try. It'll either blow your mind or make you wish you never laid your hand on this crazy creation. FYI, this is not a starter gourmand fragrance! And it takes me a while to like this.

The dry down is heavenly, but that tar note is ridiculous haha it takes 5 hours for it to go away. givenchy play intense is a better opinion its pretty much a*men without the tar note and more coffee :)

dont normally go for popular fragrances but just tried this out of curiousity at Debenhams and well,in short,I hate.all it did was give me a headache.not that I sprayed too much on my arm.a definite no no for me.I guess am too old for such scents anyway

O..hohoho!Strong...Really long lasting.My new favorite.Good for winter

Wow! I love this fragrance!If you can tolerate that initial tar note for the first few moments,then you will enjoy the chocolate, mint,caramel vibe on this one.The projection is a monster.The longevity on me is 10 plus hours on my skin easily.A must buy for you guys out there that want a fragrance that shouts HEY!!!! to your nose.

unisex fragrances , best for cold night, insaneee longevity!

Why anyone would want to smell like this is beyond me. It's too confusing. Imagine a guy that works at Starbucks in the morning, then works the later shift of Jamba Juice. Smell his shirt at the end of the day. :(

I am sooooo over Angel in all its reincarnations. The hype was initially exciting and Angel for Women was DIFFERENT but followed by a trail of clones. Plus everyone in the world wears it. Thierry Mugler has found a great money spinner and it just goes on and on. I thought I'd try the men's one to see if it was different in any way, but no..same old, same old. Actually quite noxious, although licorice/anise was not in the ingredient list it was definitely in there, and was a quick wash-off job. Yuk. Don't bother.

Just got this today and upon first whiff it was very...strange. I haven't smelled a fragrance like this before and like Dior Fahrenheit, Angel Men seems to be a "niche fragrance trapped in a designer's bottle." The opening of this is very intense and the tar note stands outs quite a bit. The tar never actually leaves, even in the dry down where you get the chocolate vibe, that tar note is still present. This is what kind of bothers me about this scent: the tar note. Because of the tar note, the fragrance never quite "smooths" out and that tar can get annoying at time. you think : "I just want to smell the chocolate..NOT tar mixed with chocolate." Aside from the tar note, this is a truly unique fragrance and I would consider this very much a niche caliber scent.The longevity and projection on this is excellent, so be very careful with the trigger. As far as versatility goes, I don't see this as being very versatile fragrance, partly because of its incredible projection and longevity. In the office it would be very loud and for such a non-mainstream, non-run of the mill scent(*ahem* Aqua di Gio)I can see how people can get offended by it. I wouldn't recommend this fragrance for those who are starting to get into fragrance or for those starting to get into gourmands. This is a very complex and rough gourmand...try Rocahs Man or Hanae Mori HM if you are just starting to get into gourmands and build your way up to Angel Men.

Douche Meter: 2/5*

*check out my profile to see what the douche meter is

A surprisingly good unisex for a confident man or woman. This is a melange of notes that blends into an altogether pleasing scent--sophisticated and unexpected. It opens floral with notable spiciness and gradually warms to caramel and coffee with honey smoothing the transition. After several hours it settles into a mellow incense and coffee blend with occasional hints of spice and flowers.

Sillage starts extremely strong then settles into a rather close body after about half an hour. If you want the high sillage (dancing?) you will need to reapply about every 45 minutes but be careful or you will end up smelling like a 90's fern bar full of smoke and Brut. If you want the subtle drydown apply about half an hour in advance. The close sillage lasts for hours.

Being unforgettable is the boldest treat of this scent. Impossible to forget that cinemmon and vanilla as they perform here. You get lots of compliments on it for sure.
It opens boozy and too hot and continues with a same resinous pattern. In spite of its exaggerated warm and sticky manner, it's so gentle and calm. A touch of cinnamon and vanilla makes it a little tropical and reduces seriousness and roughness. just because of this, it lacks sexiness a little but still so charming and alluring.
I prefer on casual out night parties. For official occasions it's good if you be a visitor and not the host, I mean not in your office.

this is definitely my new favorite. I cannot stop smelling my arm every time I use it. It smells delicious and lasts ridiculously long on my skin compared to the other fragrances that I have.

This is my favorite cologne for a bunch of reasons:

1. The longevity is insane.
2. The sillage is insane.
3. The smooth, chocolate/carmel drydown is insane.
4. The opening note of tar that many complain about is, in my opinion, a great scent if applied correctly.
5. I have received more compliments with this than any other cologne.

10/10

A*Men is a very smart blend. Thierry Mugler has found a strange balance with all of these notes. Forward-thinking, but at the same time grounded in the traditional base notes. Finally, a fragrance that is both fun to wear and last all day. Truely one of the best fragrance blends out there today.

Coffee Sweet, an excellent fragrance and girls dig it :)

This is controversial scent, either you love it or hate it. You can wear it on casual day or evening, use with caution (I suggest 4 spray max)

Anyway, I recommend it

this masterpiece got a strong memory connection with me, first i hate it so much, i thought who wants to smell like this?
in the end, i love this fragrance so much, a squirt for all day is enough.

A*MEN is dark, mature and arrogant, which is SO MUCH FUN. lol

This is really love-or-hate frag. I know many people who use it every day from release. Personally, I can't stand those cloying terribly sweet caramel-coffee-lavender notes. But who cares, I have some perfumes that I adore and people around me just can't stand it, so wo cares. The bottle is awesome.

this is love or hate frag.
kinda harsh on first spray.
but the dry down is to die for.
longevity is amazing, all day on my skin, even if i had a shower at night, i can still detect the chocolatey, caramely, yummy smell on me.

9/10

When I first read the notes of this fragrance I thought God, who would want to smell like that? Tar? But as I have learned the notes are only half the scent and until you smell it, and see how it is mixed and how it develops you cannot judge it. A*Men has made me much more open-minded about fragrances in general...

*Thank you, ArkangeL for the generous sample of this delicious fragrance!!*

Mugler has created a stunning consort for his favorite lady, Angel with this scent. It begins brightly with greens, mint and bergamot surronded by a fruity herbal type of smell and the lavender is barely perceptible until the top notes subside, and blooms more fully in the midnotes. Then the lush heart of gourmand treasures greets the nose (honey, milk, carmel) with the added woody strength of cedar, the green sheer floralcy of muguet and a lovely patchouli. This is so different from any other cologne I've worn and I just adore it! The dry down is where its oriental nature becomes apparent with sandal, more patchouli, tonka, benzoin and vanilla. The musk, coffee and amber make it dark, rich and oh so SEXY!

Sillage: very good
Longevity: excellent
Overall: 4.75/5 Stunning!

I too, was an avid comic book reader as a child and teenager, so this ad campaign really appealed to me. Albeit 10 years after everyone else. This is something a superhero would sport, I believe. It has great sillage, strength, and longevity, and and a mysterious almost otherworldly feel. I don't get the tar note others complain of, just a dark, heavy smoky note I find very appealing-if this is what TM's hero wears I would love to smell what he 'os-magines' for the villain!

Sorry, off-topic, but a few days ago I read that Bruce Willis wears A*men.
I found this very interesting, maybe some of you will, too.

can anyone tell me about the amplification of A*men? people work in the same room with me even can't smell this.

SubstituteForLove Thanks for the response:P
Now i am also thinking the same, i bought it from a small shop for comperatively low price..around 31 euros.One more question, on my tester there is written A*Men in silver color on top corner right, was your tester also like this? and what exact color juice you had in your tester?, i am planing to chanage it. Thanks

@guest_Hassan: I think that somebody tricked you....i have severa bottlews of A*Man including my firs one ever (a tester bottle that i got from my aunt...it was officialy my first fragrance ever) and that tester has some of it's liquid left and it smells as good, strong and lasting as my other A*Man bottles....I have to say that tester bottle is around 12 years old and i didn't take much care of it (it was on the sun, on cold, warm...you name it)....so I'm verry sorry but i think you bought a fake tester or semething because never ever have I heard that A*Man lasted on anybody that short as you said...

Can any body please tell me that how can i find out my perfume is not expired or some thing? i recently bought a tester of this perfume but it is not lasting on me for more then hard 2 hours? Secondly my bottle has a lot of scratches on it? i mean the leather...is it normal?

This is my all time favourite fragrance.Everytime i wear it the women always coment saying what a lovely smell. Its very chocolatly and caramel in smell, and lasts absoulutly ages, i mean a few squirts and thats it on all day,FAB,

Now when I first smelled this years ago I said WTH IS THIS???? it was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to strong & overpowering.. But then after it settled & I said ok.. I can somewhat tolerate this! But it smells to much like chocolate & coffee! Which of coffee I dont like to smell like. It also bares some chemical smell which almost makes me want to give this a thumbs down... @ any rate. The longevity of this is awesome! 2 days! & for that I give it a neutral rating! Winter frag no doubt!

Finally Finally i got the 1.7oz today for around 51 euros.This is my second encounter with this dude and i am surprised that the longevity in this bottle is higher then the previous one,i wore it around 6pm evening and still i feel it allover,this makes me think that my first bottle was over matured or i cant figure..
But in the end i am happy with this buy !

i love this on some of my friends,
but on me it doesn't work.
end up smelling all the wrong elements.

Potent formula, definetely not for anyone. This one seduces women by far.

I own a lot of colognes but I cannot stand this one: it smells like a mixture of piss and coffee and stays on the skin forever...do not recommend it, you have to try for yourself...

I like this one: the smell it's a bit synthetic at first but the middle notes are more natural (I think). This fragrance it's so powerful , you cans spray 2 times and will last all day. Great smell, very modern

Well, I am a woman and wearing A men is very strange. But I love it. Comforting scent, not at all artificial- at least to my nose. Not a masterpiece, but an Inoubliable poison! Thank you, Thierry!!

TOP PRODUCT..BEST OF ALL MUGLER'S. Tried pure coffee and composition wears off fast unlike this classic one which last much longer and yet awesome dry down. I'm keen to try pure malt and if it's as good as this or better, I won't hesitate buying it. Out of my 40's collections this one hell of a great fragrance.

and enough of this "you have to be confident or have a big ego to wear this" whatever your personility, when you wear this your body chemistry will make it your own!

Hmmm well, i must try this again as when i first smelt it, it was like curry powder and soil, yeah nasty!,but i had the same reaction to angel for women, when i first smelt it, to me it smelt like britney spears' believe but with a dirty sweaty piece of rotting wood hanging right in the middle of it, on my second try it didnt repulse me but i still wasnt getting it really, now i wear angel all of the time, no more sweaty logs!! so i am going to try this again, i really want to like this and smell its wonderfull caramel, chocolate and coffee, yummmmyyyy!

This EDT is very interesting notes too much cacophony, input your notes are dry and even perceived a strong smell, bitter and slightly sour, middle notes change their sweetest notes and collecting dry wood, sweet tones, which can cloying. Its base notes are sweet woods.

I personally almost never say, but I do not recommend this fragrance for nothing, is like a very bad version of some similar fragrances like Paco Rabanne One Million, or Emporio Armani Diamonds for Men by Giorgio Armani that are not actually my favorite scents , have good quality in its structure. The notes of this fragrance is powerful and even intimidating perceived. Not recommended.

Se que hay mucha gente que detesta este aroma, y no los culpo; pero tampoco formo parte de su grupo.

A Men es una de las mejores fragancias que he adquirido; un clásico atemporal,poseedor de una personalidad única e irrepetible.

La primer aplicación es intoxicante...llena de aromas extremos, definitivamente el alquitrán puede olerse en una explosión aunado al inconfundible aroma de la lavanda, la cual le proporciona una frescura que resulta efímera pero no deja de ser placentera.

una extraña mezcla de chocolate, leche, pachuli,miel,flores y frutas, empiezan a abrazarte proporcionando una sensación de embriaguez.

La nota de café se mezcla con la de chocolate uniendose al musk..después de 10 horas aún puedo oler la presencia de este espíritu libre embotellado en un frasco arte/objeto.

No trataré de convencer a nadie de que la use, cada quien sus gustos; pero para mi, es una obra maestra inconvencional y totalmente sui generis.

Hi.

A*Men is A Great Show by THIERRY MUGLER.it is not so easy Forgettable.Definitely one of the best Frgrances in my father collection. Everytime He wore it The scent stay in our place for a long time!

Sweet,Warm and Attractive.In my opinion it is Much better than Female version.So strong opening but Gradually i found a LOVELY scent on my skin Like a Creamy Vanilla or Coffe mate!In fact it had blended so Well on my skin.

Certainly it is Sharp and Offensive if wearning Everyday and in the Hot weather even more 2 spray but when you Wearning it in Right Mood you will To see REAL NATURE it.

Where is the right mood?Generraly special Moods like a ROMANTIC evening in WINTER because in my opinion A*Men is Supplement HOT moments meantime in the Prties Most people can besotted with Your EDT.For some people It is really Heavy then you must to test it before buy!

Sillage?Excellent.

Lonegvity?Is really Weird on my skin.

8/10

yes.
10/10 I love this scent!
starts of right away with a carameling cotton candy thing. by floral green notes and citrus matures it from other scents like blue sugar. then a slight notes of darek chocolate bounce in and out through out the scent.
longevity - 8/10 (8 - 12 hours)
projection 5/10 (sorta mysterious! ;)
warm bright fresh modern happy sexy and sweet, A*Men makes for a perfect signature scent!

A*Men is the male equivalent of Angel, to put it bluntly. It has all that chocolatey goodness with a touch more richness to give it that masculine touch.

If Angel is milk chocolate, A*Men is dark, bitter chocolate. I dare say that I prefer A*Men over the very controversial and very popular Angel.

Despite the fact that this fragrance has been emulated many times, for example, Very Irresistible for Men by Givenchy, this is a truly unforgettable scent.

A*Men is somewhat linear. Throughout most of its wear it smells like a perfect blend of golden syrup, dark chocolate, coffee, musty patchouli, lavender and rich amber.

Only in the drydown does it change ever so slightly into a musky, chocolate powder type scent.

A*Men intrigued me with its darkness and rich chocolatey notes which you don't expect to smell on a man. All men seem to wear these days are those predictable fresh and citrusy scents. It was nice to smell A*Men for a change.

If you're looking for a stronger, more classic version of A*Men, I do recommend the classic Tsar by Van Cleef & Arpels. It has that strong chocolate note without the sweetness.

Talking about strength, A*Men lasts for a very long time. The sillage is also phenomenal, very strong, so beware. I wouldn't be game enough to wear this in Summer, but for Winter, despite its popularity, it is a wonderfully unique and sensual choice. I urge the ladies not to dismiss wearing this fragrance either. Do not let the name fool you into thinking it is just for men.

A*Men is spicy, velvety-smooth, rich, creamy vanilla-hazelnut coffee. It is caramel coated and dripping with honey. Cedar, mint and bergamot add cool crispness to this sweet, musky blend. The hearty dose of earthy patchouli, lavender and "green notes" inject A*Men with a strong and invigorating masculinity.

A*Men is a sublime "masculine" interpretation of Angel. Like Angel, A*Men has strength, character and style. This is a powerfully potent concoction. A*Men's big ego MUST be matched by an equally ostentatious personality. This Eau De Toilette has impressive sillage, range and depth. He goes for hours....

The most synthetic, cloying and repulsive fragrance i've ever come across. Closely followed by its sister of course.

You dont just announce your presence in a room, you go around and slap everyone in the face with a wet fish.

Awful.

I bought it today, and I love it. It has sweet, gourmand notes, but it becomes masculine with the musky, sandalwood notes. It kind of smells like Angel for Women though.

It's a chocolate brownie, edged out by a nice, slightly sharp, smoky (the tar?) coffee bean note. Honestly, that's all I can smell, and it smells fantastic. I haven't tested longevity and sillage yet, but based on scent...9/10. The smoky coffee bean makes it masculine.

I finally got to try this. I have had B*men for some time and always wanted to try its brother fragrance.

Well, I'm glad I have B*men and not A*Men, for A*men is vastly inferior in my opinion. Yes it is very sweet in a synthetic vanilla kind of way. I once found 1.7 oz of synthetic vanilla fragrance oil in a cheap variety store. It cost me $3. It is very caramel-like smelling and strong. Add some patchouli to it and a few other ingredients and essentially you have A*men. I made a fragrance that smells just like this by messing around with essential and fragrant oils. It is nothing special and even a little offensive (and liable to nauseate susceptible people).

When i first read a review of A*Men, i wanted test it right away...since Thierry Mugler scent is not that popular here so its very rare to find it in stores..

Last nite i bumped in to it while i was taking a flight to Tawau, via Kota Kinabalu Airport (note to self, if i want to find any perfume..i should just go to the airport!!!)...it was here all along!!! DAMN!!!

i took the bottle and spray it on my wirst...then, DISAPPOINTMENT!!! it was chocolate with a sharp woody smell...ermmm...then i left the counter and i cant help it to smell it over and over again on my wirst..its a scent that u will try to love...and at the end I LOVE IT!! but not recommended in the tropical/sunny area, basically this is a winter perfume or you are staying in a air condition room...this perfume had a MONSTER projection and trails for the whole day...be careful with the sprayer...:o)

my father had a bottle of it and i liked to wear it, i think it is apprpriate for women too. but, carefully, either boy or girl, you have to be very self confindent to wear such a powerful perfume.
such a pain it is so popular.

A stronger, much less re refind version of Guerlain Bois d'Armenie. Compare these two yourself, and you will se!! I enjoy this one a lot!

where to begin! ive had a strange journey with this fragrance. i went from hating it to loving it. i hated it on my first try, my second try was mediocre (all i got was patchouli. thats it.) my third try i started to notice some sweetness and thats when i bought the bottle. im NEVER looking back. This stuff has NONE of the top notes the site lists, atleast what i can tell. to me its a weird psuedo vanilla coffee. i guess the best way i can put it is vanilla with coffee smothered in some earthy smell. it dries down to patchouli and some coffee...then hours later comes to best part. out seeps this amazing caramel smell. i REALLY wish it stayed here longer but it lasts around 30 minutes before shifting back to patchouli. luckily the caramel comes back with a chocolate to it, and eventually coffee peaks its head in to make a delightful trio. eventually it all drys down to vanilla, chocolate, and some bitterness of coffee. its a 9.5/10 to me, may be 10/10 once winter/fall comes back around

this? popular among men? that's a surprise for me... i tought this is more feminine than masculine. i kinda like it actually...

the opening was rather soft and easy going vanilla kind of smell... but then...here comes attack of the coffee! very strong coffee and pepper. the dry down was caramel chocholate coffee combo on me. yum~ if i can stand that strong middle notes that is...

I'm torn on this one. I've avoided it for over a decade because if its popularity. So, here in April 2010, I finally test this one out. Well, it's not bad. But it's not to my taste, either. Yes, it's intense. But that's not what's bothering me. It's extremely spicy, in addition to already being sweet. I like my gourmands to be rather mellow and laid-back. I prefer D&G 11 La Force for a vanilla, overall. But I'm not dismissing A*Men as a bad fragrance. It's very good, especially during the drydown and it's a sillage MONSTER. 1-2 sprays should last for +8 hours. It doesn't suit me, but I still like it.

UPDATE: once this settles down for real, it's stunning. I could totally wear this. But there's this thought of someone coming up to me and saying, "So you like A*Men, too, ha?" that bothers me. Like I said before, I'm torn on this one. I take pride in my individuality, especially in my fragrances. But this is tempting.... We'll see......

Milk-Caramel-Cofee-Patchouli and Mint! What a unique and risky combination and A-Men Work them Soooo well!

When I try A*men I thought this had some incense note, but I was wrong, so maybe i believe the honey and coffee part can cause this incense-feeling.

A*man mint notes are powerful but they are tempered by the other notes in the scent. The powerlasting is beautiful, A*man will never leave you, can last all day, this is the reason why you should have to apply just a little.

I know this is a ultra sweet fragrance, but this doesn't mean lack of masculinity, this fragrance is very virile!

This fragrance blew me away as I never smelled anything like it before. Very intense for the first 30-60 minutes when applied but the drydown is amazing. Sweet chocolate, caramel, coffee, mint, and lavender. Less is more 2-3 sprays tops. Great sillage and it last 8-10 hours on my skin. You have to be bold to wear this. 10/10.

WTF! This stinks! First impression upon application of a tester this morning was chocolate mentholatum. PU! Never again! If I had had the time I would have taken another shower to wash off the stink.

I first purchased for my husband B man (now discontinued) and we liked it a lot, before he finished that one I got him a bottle of Angel men. At first I wasn't sure if I like it but now I do. However, I still like B man much better. It is more wearable and masculine than Angel. He keeps reaching for B Man and has 1/4 of a bottle left. If I see another bottle of B Man I will purchase it without hesitation.

Ughhh!! This fragrance is SO cloying and tar smelling. I barely get any chocolate, all I smell is burnt tar and patchouli. I gave this multiple honest tries, I tried to like it. I can't stand this scent and I am sure it smells amazing on some ppl but this is probably the most repulsive scent I have ever worn. HOWEVER I have smelled the bottle/sprayer at the stores and I love that smell, straight up chocolate.

The second I spray it on, I feel crazily powerful and unbelievably confident. And it never, never fails to get me scores of compliments. (Interesting note: I'm not a big patchouli fan, but I love how my shirts have a low-humming patchouli affixed to them days later after wearing A*Men.) A stunning, memorable scent.

I can only see someone wearing it in the winter, at nightime. It is sweet, strong and powerful and I actually do find it sexy. As many have mentioned honey, vanilla, caramel and coffee notes are most prominent. Although it is like an Angel for men, I think I would rather wear A*men than Angel lol. I think A*men is one of a kind, not many men would dare to wear it!

Caramel and chocolate punch me in the face. Truly and deeply gourmand at its best :)

A*Men is cloyingly sweet yet creative. I fully admit Thierry Mugler's talent to have created such a powerful juice. But I have to say NO to this fragrance.

If I were to name this juice, I would call this one "(TRULY)ONLY THE BRAVE" lol :P

In short: Longevity of Angel is incredibly lying somewhere like 12+ hours to infinity. lol


Cheers,

A powerful unique masculine fragrance. You either love it or hate it - very unusual and medicinal with lots of character. I think it's daring and fabulous. When people get a waft of this - they will notice immediately - and....there seems to be a tar note in this. Longevity is awesome and sillage is an attention grabber.

I wanted to like this one but I found it so overpowering and repulsive. I tried it in all different ways, 1 spray on neck, 1 on chest, 1 on wrists, and combinations of all those. Every time it was too much for me, even with only one spray. It didn't get me any compliments either. All the girls at work who smelled it on me said it was strange and didn't like it. Well i'll go with what the ladies like. Oddly enough, I adore Ice*Men as its nowhere near as potent as this stuff. So don't be afraid to try that one if you don't care for A*Men.

We have to recognize one thing about this fragrance, it broke the mold. In the history of fragrances there is a "before A*MEN" and "after A*MEN", it was so different then, but today there are literally hundreds of fragrances that follow the lead from A*MEN and it is not such a novelty anymore. It has been surpassed by others and actually it does not do aything for me. Blue Sugar from Aquolina is very similar but far far superior, it kinda softens the hard edges of A*MAN so BS is not so rough, so agressive, it is more pleasant. If you like this scent, try BS and you will be very satisfied. And it is a lot cheaper to boot

Chocolate, coffee, carmel and so on, but...i totally love it. I like sweet scents but this gourmand is the best. Everyone used to tell me how great i smell. Girls used to call it "sweetie" and my buddies used to borrow it before going out to the club. Use it during cold weather because it will show it's true nature only then. Spray 2-3 times, otherwise you'll die and with you the civilisation within 1km radius. Lasting time is in my case great - 7-8 hours and you could smell it after dancing in a crowdy place, with lots of cigarette smoke inside. Spraying with A*men is like puting on a chocolate scarf, and we all know girls like candies, don't we? :)

Who would have thought that caramel, milk, lavender, mint and bergamot would make a great combination? But it is! The top and middle notes are wonderful!

This is gorgeous, from top to bottom. I definitely smell the caramel and honey, as well as the coffee, musk, vanilla and amber. The dry down is at once bitter and sweet, burnt and warm, green and powdery. It. is. heavenly. Plus, it contains my favorite note of all, patchouli. The amber in there softens it all and balances all of the bottom notes beautifully.

I *love* A*Men. But that isn't a surprise as I love most of Thierry Mugler's creations.

I personally don't like the moment you spray it on, but after that its the best fragrance i have ever smelled.

5/5 !!

campycamp i totally agree !!
A*MEN is indeed heavenly and the dry down is a little weird but yet 5/5 !!!

about the 24 hours , on me it went for only about 10 or 12 hours !!!

yet still magnificent !! it broke my wardrobe record for the longest lasting perfume !

This is the frag that turned my world upside down. It's very complex: sometimes it smells like tar-coffee, other times like milky-caramel or chocolate-coffee latte. This changes all the time. If you're into gourmand scents, you have to OWN this!!!

it's like love it or kill it. nothing in between. unique? thinking how popular it is and spots selling this product - no. sexy? if you imagine a cute guy - may be, if a fat ugly man - noup! sweet? too sweet that people in surround cannot stay close. pleasant? no way! legend? absolutely.
I love it no matter what from the yaer the fragrance met the world.

fazla seker yanıgı kokuyor ve bana göre kışın kullanılmasını öneririm.etkili ve seksi sıcak bir koku oldugunu söyleyebilirim.

I like this fragrance, but it is not one of my favorites. It smells like cookies with a musky smell, kinda like a burnt smell. I like this one fairly well.

it's best suitable during cold winter weather!!! the sillage is powerful!!!

When I used to buy the refills for A*Men the silver top on the refill bottle used to have a blue glassy gem on the top. Does anyone else remember this?

My signature winter fragrance. Genius product.

This is a love or h8 scent.
One reason of h8, people overdose it or spray so closer which makes not evolving and becoming sickly sweet.
Perfumes should be sprayed min 10 cm away, but this must be sprayed min 20 cm away and 1 spray is enough on both neck sides.
I love it, it smells so delicious.
Very potent almost all street smells like u when u wear it!
Sweet and warm woody drydown.

great smell how many guy scents have chocolate like this but its VERY potent

if this is too pricey 4 u try creation lamis diable bleu thats what i got and its the same great scent for a MUCH lower price and larger bottle

In a world of male fragrances which love to blend in(to) the background and be oh so (olfactory) correct, this male fragrance dares to be Different, dares to be Big and dares to be Bold. Love it or hate it. A pirate among sailors, a vagabond a rebel. It's the lovable, mischievous pirate Jack Sparrow and not the cute clean boy (whats his name??) It leaves many confused, others infatuated and some loathing it. This is what makes this male fragrance so great: no one is indifferent to it. Simply one of the greatest, a modern classic, a REBEL with a huge HEART.

It is one of the most cleverly crafted male scents out there. After the initial blast (which is powerful and has a hint of tar in it), this demon of an angel starts settling into something really special, sweet (in a masculine way), earthy and deep.

Definitely not suitable for every skin (or character), but if it mixes well on your skin then it mixes fantastically (as I said before, it's Hero or Zero, no in between). When I have it on it draws compliments and smiles from those around me. On the Latin dance floor, when I wear this, some girls don't simply dance with me, they bond with me, with their noses buried deep in my neck.

Love it or Hate it? I choose to Love it... a lot!

Tip: with A*Men less is actually more.

I have used this fragrance for many years. I usually wear this in the fall/winter. On first application i get the lavender and coriander fighting against each other with a damp wood and green smell. It is quite bitter for around 10 mins then it starts to mellow into the middle notes. The caramel,honey and woods teasing with hints of vanilla and chocolate. This is my favourite part of the fragrance. A*MEN is strong and lasts all day. It is a night fragrance for sure and although it has been on the market for years it is unmistakable when you smell it on another person. It is popular but not in the vein where everyone is wearing it.

longest lasting thing to come out since grey flannel!smells alot better tho.but they stole the smell from animale animale which came out before this.check it out for yourself.

This one is my favorite cologne, the sweet chocolatey, caramel, coffee and vanilla blend so well together. It is defeniteley one of a kind and although most say to wear it in winter, i like to wear it anytime of the year, mostly at night. Its very strong and lasts hours which surprised me because my skin doesnt allow cologne to last too long usually, I dont usually spray more that 2 sprays because of how strong it is and how much it projects. It is definetely a love it or hate it type but the problem with this cologne is when people smell it on a test strip they dont like it much, I didnt the first time, but I tried it on my skin anyway and began to really like it, so I bought it and now love it! If youre interested, test it on your skin, give it a chance and see if you get to like it after wearing it a few hours.

For me A*Men is a comic world Villain while the B*Men is raised to save Mugler's comic world as a Superhero... The severe and intense -ve affect of A*Men could only be revived by B*Men and nothing else...

For me A*Men is a "hate" symbol and to love it you have to get B*Men.

A*Men is simply a junk drink of caramel, coffee and chocolate... while B*Men no doubt has a burning sugar aroma and coffee touch but with bearable amount and manly affect that is blended well with spicy and woody notes.

I tested both deeply on each hand with generous amount... as a result and matter of fact, I was trying to keep my hand away from my nose where I have sprayed A*Men while I really admired sniffing the forearm where I have splashed B*Men.

No doubt A*Men is better in power and silage but only if you want to feel like a COSTA AD of COFFEE in VANILLA & CARAMEL flavor... yakhhhhhhhhh....!!!

very few scents dry into chocolate this is definately a great drydown but u gotto leave a good 2 to 4 hours til it starts working with ur body chem for the scent to start workin

Like the post under mine, I agree, that there is nothing in this perfume, that can stimulate me to have it on. It is disgusting, although the bottle is gorgeous, the scent is like a mud or dirt, like old veterans from the war placed in a nursery home. Burned and dirty, I can't even say, that it is classic or too heavy male fragrance. I like sweet fragrances, especially in the winter, but this one is way too much for me to stand it.

Sorry, but i can't find one thing i like about A-men. Its over the top,to sweet, to many elements i prefer in my cup to drink or to digest (chocolate, caramel and coffee).

It smells,stinks,like burning sugar, totally confusing and utterly unwearable. To my nose just a sickly sweet stench. It's only good as a breathtaking deterrent to keep everything living and breathing on a safe and sure distance of 25 metres.

If you wear this one to work, your collegues will bring out the peck and feathers, and throw you out over the city borders....

no doubt about that.....

Just wait until you have tried the new A*Men Pure Malt edition.. I got my bottle today and I'm blown away... i'll always have a place in my heart for the original A*Men its a daring fragrance, it takes guts to wear it, Its a love it or hate it scent but an absolute classic.

Strong and deep! I love its unique character! Its really long lasting and sweet perfume.

I CANT stand this horrifying cologne! Its got to be one of the worst scents ive even been unfortunate to experience. Its a horrible mix of way too much different things! Gosh i hate it. But its still not as horrifying as Angel! Thats probably the worst fragrance ive ever smelled!

If there's a word to describe A*Men, it's ohmygod. That's an absolute classic, in a gender of its own.

Its top notes last nothing. Which, honestly, is of little importance. I feel the twingey tones of bergamot and lavender only when I first spray it. Then, like 30 seconds after, they're gone and tar, chocolate, caramel and every sweet substance you can find takes place, alongside with a heavenly patchouli that slowly grows over them.

Some will hate A*Men, and I can't get it, even though, like any classic, there's the love it or hate it thing. Some would find this perfume too feminine because of its sweetness. I can't agree. It's so well balanced and austere in keeping a perfect blend - and that's something I associate with good gentleman scents. Plus, there's a nasty, dirty BO note underlying its lifetime that can only be masculine. For instance, this BO effect is so strong in B*Men that I find it nearly unwearable. But in A*Men it's just essencial in keeping balance. Just like jazz needs dissonant chords to feel alive and harmonic.

Now, any A*Men lover knows it, you should NEVER spray it more than ONCE. With one spray you get a balanced, non-overpowering aura. Giving it 2 sprays or more will keep any living being from getting any closer than 50 meters from you. Add to that one of the longest perfume lifetimes I've seen (but it still doesn't beat Joop! Homme).
So, know how to dose and use it, learn how to match it with your clothes and behaviour to create a mysterious, sexy, playful persona. You'll be rewarded with some curious girls' neckturns and random compliments.

Well..A men is
Thierry mugler's one of the best creations...
at first it seems like chocolate sauce with caramel candy...
but later as it dries down.. it gets more woody n aromatic...
get it on... be ready for compliments..
A definite head turner..
10/10 for it ..

I wore this as an alternative to the Angel perfume, which everybody wore. I think it is suitable for a girl, I loved the tar, leather and coffee smell... and guys certainly liked it on me. I would not wear it again, but I really like it. Sadly, my boyfriend does not like it so he won't wear it.

which is better , A*Men or valentino pour homme or rochas rochas men ???????????????????????

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 ?????

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

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.

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!

....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 )

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.

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!!!!!!!!

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.

Delicious, foody and woody, but can be easily overpowering.

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.

It can create a lot of debate of it sweetness
but *de gustibus non est disputantum*
very strong but nice and mistical fragrance

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 :)

Not for anyone. Just for me...!

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.

This is my favorite perfume, because its so different to the others perfumes.
its a great fragrance. Its the only perfume I never recommend because I want to be the only who wears it,

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

I prefer B men. A men is too sweet it makes me sick.

You should have ( at least ) one. Uniquely sweet, modern, strong. So damn attractive.

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

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.

Very hypnotic, addictive and unisex
