A*Men Pure Malt Thierry Mugler for men

Amazingly different opening,hint of Amen without harshness and drys down like mild Dior homme Intense.

Does anyone know where I can find one for a fair price? I can not find it anywhere...tks guys.

As I've moved on to niche. I really don't know when I will ever use this. Willing to part with my unused, unopened Pure Malt if anyone likes to collect this one.

I don`t like to smell like a chocolate .I want a real fragrance

The best way I can describe of how Pure Malt smells like to me would be like Chocolate-Berry Transparent Coca-Cola Syrup (this part kinda reminds me of those coke-cola Gummies..) but not being too sweet. Lots of Chocolate-Berry in the beginning and then more leaning on the chocolate side during the dry down while keeping the coca-cola vibe the whole time. (yeah, I know there isn't chocolate notes in this and that that smell probably from the oak, but this part most smells a lot like chocolate to me).

The whiskey note everybody talks about isn't so much really of a whiskey note to my nose because real whiskey smells too much alcoholicy to me so I can't picture the smell of whiskey without the alcohol smell in it. The whiskey note in this fragrance I believe everybody talks about is rather more like a coca-cola vibe to my nose. Really pleasent.

Unfortunately I'm not getting the longevity or projection everybody else is getting (maybe its my particuler patch, I think maybe the Pure Malt that was re-released for that 1 day on 2011 on the Mugler website were a bit weaker because I swore the prior ones I had smelled at the malls were stronger, but I dunno..) With 3 sprays on me the projection is good for like a solid 2-4 hours but begins to faint quickly and usually gets extremely close to the skin after that, so the longivity ends up being like 5-6 hours. Though every now and then i'll occasionally get lucky and get a good 6-7 hours longivity with 4-5 hours of decent projection.
I'd would like go with 4 sprays more often, but i'm afraid that those first 1-2 hours could be too much for those around me.

As for comments, what I have experienced is that people around me have looked around for the source of this scent saying, "something smells good!.." or people will get into my car and say, "your car smells good!" not realizing its the smell of Pure Malt on me until I confirm with them.

Now I don't wear this as much as I used to because I'm afraid i'll run out soon, but the urge to spray Pure Malt is still strong. This is probably my signature scent and my comfort scent.

I smelled this is a store....guess what!!...I WANT ONE TOO!

i want this juice its so good

I want one!!!

Masterpiece to introduce in INDIA......!!!

Most hyped up cologne.....fellow cologne reviewers sell me a bottle if u got 1 to spare!!!!????

In Hungary it is really hard to find, i am not sure about the online shops, i bought it from Italy and loving it every now and then : )

another masterpiece from Mugler

I have died and gone to paradise, swimming in a pool of fine scotch- don't mourn for me!

Imagine yourself being served a treat of different fruits on an antique wooden table . The room you're eating in is not an ordinary room, it's a cold basement full of old barrels of malt( Whiskey without the alcohol) where the smell just surrounds you from the moment you enter the basement , until you officially leave .

After the fruits treat on that antique table, you are treated with a delicious caramel dish that has just been out of the oven . No it's not burned. It's warm, soft and comforting .

Even during the caramel treat at the end, the refreshing malt smell still lingers around to remind you of where you are = a basement of whiskey barrels .

The best scent i have ever experienced.

I wear this stuff 16 days in a month . Yes it's that addicting.

Enough said.

I love this stuff,specially for the first one hour there is whiskey and warmness, damn who would hate that!

Wow...i'm surprised. The best cologne of TM together B*Men. Incredible longevity on my skin and a graceful sillage. I received a lot of compliments wearing this.

Thank You, Thierry Mugler!

I have to be honest. I heard about this cologne all over the internet about how amazing it was. I got some and let me tell you. I hate this stuff. It does kinda smell good in the opening, you can def smell the whiskey note in it. But the smell itself afterwards reminds me of a broken bottle of whisky all over hot ashpalt. All the gals I asked what they thought said the same thing that it smells like rubber. This is not an appealing cologne at all and I still don't understand how people rejoice in this stuff. I am selling my bottle if anybody is interested.

Outstanding men's winter fragrance. It opens with whiskey and berries: lots of berries. It smells a little of cherry or berry cough syrup, which is a smell that I happen to really like. After two hours or so, the berries fade into the background and are joined by a light caramel and chocolate scent that is manly and delicious. Longevity is superb. I get 8-10 hours. I strongly recommend this to anyone that is interested in a gourmand fragrance. Superb!

This is among those perfumes that I may buy though the bottle design bothers me just like the original A*man. Cause the scent itself is significant and jaw drawer!
Pure Malt opens more creamy and gourmand with less vanilla and darker woody tone. The scent is odder and darker than A*man and I think if I buy a Mugler perfume, I choose it; could be a prosperous best seller easily.
Also can be labeled as a perfect copy of Givenchy PI but not dark that much, more friendly and more lovable. If Pi is too rough, try it.
Although it's not mentioned among notes, I think I get caramel and whiskey hidden in the creamy pattern. Anyway, this creamy pattern is obviously Mugler's signature.
Overall; sweet yet not disturbing nor inoffensive, not floral, not chemical.

Probably the most over-rated fragrance of all-time.
What you get is a strong malt scent coupled with a slight fruitsy note in the background which you can barely notice.
Everything else is overshadowed by that overpowering malt smell which a lot of people are not very fund of, including myself.
I didn't study its drydown since right of the bat, this one repulsed me.

Not that I dislike drinking a whisky or smelling its odor at a bar from time to time, but it's not exactly the kind of thing I would pay to smell like.

Maybe for very special occasions.

Besides, I know this fragrance is quite rare in some countries (not in France, mine, at least) but I would definitely recommand you to NOT blind buy it, unless you're a real gourmand/whisky fan.

Now this is more like it! After my dissapointment with Pure Coffee and not being a huge fan of the original A*Men's (preferring B*Men) strong tarry note, I think Mr Mugler has finally found just the right balance.

This is really great from the delicious sweet malty liquor top notes right down to the subdued & gentle A*Men base. Other than the longevity not being nearly as good as A*Men, it's hard to find much fault with this.

Now I just have to wait for my bottle of Pure Havane to arrive in the mail and the collection will be complete. I'm just hoping that Havane is more in the vein of Malt and not so similar to Coffee.

For what it's worth, my order of preferrence (so far) for the Mugler Men series is:
1. Pure Malt
2. B*Men
3. Ice*Men (a much reviled & misunderstood beast!)
4. A*Men
5. Pure Coffee

My favorite gourmand fragrance.

Pure Malt opens with a strong whiskey note at the top, that is slightly fruity as well, and quickly blends into a heart of rich, smooth caramel and chocolate. Beneath the chocolate and caramel one can detect a dark, lush vanilla. This composition creates a unique, sweet fragrance with remarkable depth. Due to its depth and balance the sweetness associated with pure malt does not smell cheap or synthetic in any way. Instead, it may remind you of a most lavish dessert served with after-dinner liqueurs in a fine restaurant. As the booze fades the dessert-like composition takes center stage and persists for hours, supported by a background of soft woods (oakmoss and patchouli) which emerge during the dry-down.

This is an extremely inviting fragrance that begs others to get close and bask in its rich, comforting aura. It works wonders in the colder months as a date scent or for nights spent on the couch watching a movie with your S.O. It is not nearly as harsh or abrasive as the original A*Men (no tar or coffee notes, patchouli is reduced considerably) and unless over-applied, it is difficult to imagine Pure Malt offending anyone.

Projection is very good and the longevity is excellent. I can only imagine someone disliking this if they are averse to any kind of sweet fragrances, as it is fairly sweet.

Pure Malt is highly sought after for good reason. Few fragrances are as equally delicious and wearable, unique yet familiar, enticing and comforting. To put it plainly: It just smells damn good.

The whiskey and berry notes are in the opening which lasts 30 to 45 minutes. After this point it's a tamer version of A*men. Doesn't have great sillage or longevity and is very over hyped for what it is.

I've to be honest, while Pure Malt smells good I still don't get all the fuss about it.
A toned down A*Men "enriched" by a slight "Malt" note during the first hour. The rest is the usual caramel-chocolate-patchouli combo smelled in the original version.

Now, after 13 years, what's the point in launching a flanker that is definitely too similar to the original except tapping us all for money?

Rating: 6.5/10

Bein a big time Whiskey Single Malt Fan I bet this would really appease me, does anyone know whether the whiskey note is similar to that in Baldesarinni AMBRE? I completly adore it and would be hence worth the bucks, am assuming its expensive!

It will be available again on mugler.com.
September, probably (from a TWEET of mugler circle)

=)

This one is not near as potent as AMen. It is pretty light to me. Has a nice soft whisky note in the background and stays linear to the end. I was expecting more from this one.

Projection: 7.5/10
Longevity: 8.0/10
Bottle Presentation: 9.0/10 (Nice bottle and box)
Overall: 8.0/10 (A little disappointed)
This is a try to me.

at the start its very strong. like everyone says, i get a very powerful whiskey and berries aroma. this is delicious. around the 2 hour mark this completely vanishes... the dry down is a very light and creamy chocolate vanilla. completely different to the initial spray. 4 hours in and i am struggling to smell it on my arm. reaching 6 hours the fragrance has dissapeared. this is a real shame.

i have tested the original a*men and havane. both these have better projection and longevity compared to p-malt.

i give pure malt 8.5. longevity is a major issue for me, but during its short life its amazing. :)

ps: the spray sucks by the way (same with all the TM rubber case bottles i believe). the moulded rubber stops you pressing cleanly on the pump inside. if you don't get it right it dribbles and makes a mess. there is a mod where you can cut the rubber to make it spray perfect, but then your bottle is a little bit scruffy.

I really like the Pure Malt. It is exotic, sexy, and a bit boozy. This fragrance reminds me of Montale Wild Aoud but less metallic. I also love the versatility of this fragrance. It can be used all year round with good longevity. I'll give 9/10 for the Pure Malt.

I love A*Men Pure malt!!!I have sample,it`s wonderful!!!I WANT!!!!!!!

I wanted this so much..just couldn't get it here, the last time it was available in singapore you have to purchase 250 dollars worth of mugler's product and they'll give you pure malt as a compliment. But now i got my pure havane, so happy that it smelled so good, i'll be ok not owning a pure malt.

Unique
Wearable and confortable

First, opening: whiskey and toffee as pure coffee but lighter
Second: berries and caramel
End, dry-down: amber vanilla as gualtier^2

As said: "Sillage is less loud, longevity is quite good but not so strong as A*Men."

Interesting. I was expecting something bitter, smoky and boozy, but instead the first impression is sweet, gourmand, fruity, and powdery-musky, much closer to Angel (the female Angel since I haven’t tried the male one yet) than to a bottle of scotch!

After the initial sweetness burns off a little, I do smell a little bit of a boozy note, but it’s accompanied by a lot of tonka and it’s not nearly as smoky or peaty as I would have imagined. It’s as if a teaspoon of scotch had been added to a cup of fruit-flavored sugar syrup and that cocktail was then used to flavor tonka-heavy pipe tobacco. Don’t get me wrong. It’s a wonderful fragrance, just 180 degrees away from what I was expecting.

There’s plenty of sillage, even with a tiny dab on the wrist, but it’s not overpowering. People around you will smell it, but not gag. In the end, after 5 hours or so, the drydown is a very long-lasting fruity vanilla musk. I like A*M-PM a lot, and find it easier to wear than Angel. However, be warned that it’s not primarily the dry, boozy-smoky scent that the name suggests.

It's quite a nice scent for me. It's sweet, dark & complex.

The opening with malt is great on my skin for at least 3 hours. And getting to middle sometimes it's remind of Pure Coffee & A*Men with chocolate maybe some coffee.

Stays on me over 12 hours, nothing more i could ask for it.. Project at least 5 hours, after that just stays close to the skin.

Not my favorite from the line of Thierry Mugler, but it's a must if you're a fragrance collector.

Overall just nice, value for my money if in retail cost, which now it's kinda hard to find. I gave it 8/10.. The best from designer house..

Let me start by saying I don't do hype, so I don't care if 5 million people smell like butt, I won't join them LOL. So with that said lets talk about Pure Malt.

Pure Malt is divine. Plain and simple. A whiskey, cherry, ceadery, vanilla, fragrance. Everyone so far has complimented this, it projects like a monster and stays at least 12 plus hours on my skin (especially the spray under the shirt). I love this fragrance, not because of the hype. I don't own another A*men fragrance and I don't own Mugler Cologne. I smelled A*Men and may have to revisit. I searched for Pure Havane like a run away slave who stole two pigs on the way out and it is okay, but by far this is lovely and I can't get enough of it.

Forget the hype and forget the people who don't like it because of the hype. This is a solid, projecting monster of a fragrance that I will somehow keep as long as I can find it reasonably priced.

This has to be gold in a bottle, the top notes to me are so-so but the dry down is where the magic happens WOW!!! I love it. I,m glad my girlfriend got this for me or I probably would'nt have bothered with this thumbs up a winner for me.

Oh Yeah,
Perfect,
I get about 5-6 hours, not as long as some people do, but, wow, this one is fantastic.
Can't wait to get Pure Havane

it is the ultimate cold night fragrance. It warms and makes me feel comfortable whenever I smell it. Similar to original A*men with no tar.

What a disappointment! I was expecting something incredible, but what I got was a surprise. It smells just like Ice Men to me! All I get is a boozy patchouli. I timed the longevity of this one...4 hours and then barely anything. Should have been called "Drunken Hippy."

5/10

The first 30mins of having this on was like heaven! I don't know what whiskey smells like (I don't drink), but I can describe this scent as having a sweet, dark and 'boozy' malty-chocolate aroma(not unlike my favorite TBS fragrance 'Amorito') wafting up my nose...I was sad when the malty-chocolate booze note began to fade away...sharp woodsy notes begin to emerge as the scent dries down, with the slight booziness/smokiness of the top note still remaining. This is a unisex gourmand with a dry down that's more masculine than feminine. If you're a woman who hates sugary-fruity gourmands and prefer a sexy dark one, try this one, the sweetness is mild and balanced with the other deep and dark notes. Btw, I tried Gaultier 2 at the same time on my other wrist, I hated it and found it way too sweet and chemical...but this one is definitely worth trying, even if the longevity and sillage are poor (for a TM scent I mean, lasted 5 hours max on my skin). Other things I'd like to add: I personally find most 'gourmand' scents out there effeminate rather than sexy on men, mainly because I do not wear much syrupy scents myself...but this one is my first exception so far, I definitely wouldn't mind sharing a bottle with BF, infact I think it'd smell pretty sexy on him :) I'd be very interested in finding more dark/'unsweetened' gourmands like this one.

This frag has a awesome scent to it that blows A*men out of the water in my opinion. Definately lacks the longevity of the original A*men. I don't get the monster longevity and sillage out of this one like I had hoped or many has talked about. I do understand all the people that like this over A*men as far as the smell of this goes. I love the scent part of it though. Best smelling frag I own by far. Really layed back compared to its older brother A*men. I get better longevity out of some of my cheaper colognes even though this one is my most expensive. Also smells similar to the original but has a much more tolerable opening. Not so fond of the sprayer either haha
9.5 out of 10. Amazing scent I just wish it had more sillage and longevity because i like it so much.

a_mimi....thanks for ur review.have been thinking of buying this as I cant sample it in any of the stores in town.the only chance of me getting this either through travel or online blind buying but after ur "headachy"experience then i will give this a pass in spite of all the rave reviews on you tube and other sites.A*Men gave me such a headache i wasnt sure it was in all Thierry Mugler colognes but looks like I was wrong.Will now give this a definite pass.thanks

I had a whiff of this today. Bought it blindly.. when will i ever learn?

At first sniff, i definitely smelled the whiskey note.. a bit pungent, ickk it gave me an instant headache as well.
This may work for other people but i have such bad experiences with this house's line that Thierry Mugler fragrances and I will never get along.

Se trata de uno de los perfumes más polémicos: lo amas o lo detestas. En mi caso, no puedo más que elogiarlo por su sofisticada unión de notas de humo, cuero, vainilla, chocolate y caramelo, que hace de A men un todo exuberante y masculinamente sexy. si quieres que alguien te recuerde por tu aroma, y te gusta ser arriesgado, es la mejor la opción.

Got it today – absolute great smell!!! It’s so seductive and sexy, warm and unique…the original A*MAN is more aggressive and maybe more noticeable, but PURE MALT can give something different – the whiskey notes! This mix of typical Mugler sweetness with malt-creamy notes + some woody notes is amazing! This definitely will be one of my favorite scents. If you like J.P. GAULTIER 2, or JOOP! POUR HOMME – you will like Pure Malt for sure. My LOLITA LEMPICKA AU MASCULIN is very close to Pure Malt…so if you don’t have any chance to test it, you can use Lolita au Masculin as a reference point. For me Pure Malt = Pure Pleasure :)))

A cross between Amen and Bmen. I prefer this to Bmen though. Really does smell good. Longevity is very good. A lovely composition.

A*Men Pure Malt is a cocktail of luxury spirits with a distinct boozy note that balances the fragrance.
The top notes are suggestive of booze then transitions into toffee-malt sweetness. The dry down smells warm with patchouli paired with bits of vanilla and musk. The boozy-caramel aroma wafts nicely in the beginning then slowly exits in the dry down. The toasty gourmand accords hold longer in the dry down making the fragrance just as refined and elegant the first time you smell it.
I love this fragrance , i love B*men also ... that means my next hunt is PURE COFFEE . Hands down, Thiery Mugler is the king of BOOZY fragrances which i love so much.

I really wanted to sample A*Men, but when I read the description and reviews of Pure Malt, I decided to start with it. I am SO glad I did, I love this. The smell is very hard to describe, but I do definitely get the whiskey reference. It's not the harsh heavy alcohol whiskey smell, but the smell it would have without the alcohol. Do yourself a favor and try this ASAP.

UPDATE Just got mine in the mail today. I ordered it from Nordstrom.com a few days ago. To be honest I like AMEN better but this is a top of the line fragance no doubt. I would like it more if the whiskey note at the top hung around for the trademark dry down. I am very satisfied with the purchase.

این کمپانی با عطرهای پر طرفداری که تولید کرده است برندی قابل توجه در بین مردم میباشد
آنجل پور مالت خوشبوست اما آنجل
A men
در بین تمام کارهای کمپانی تری موگلر جزو بهترین محسوب میشود و واقعا در نوع خودش عطری بی نظیر و بی همتاست و از آن دسته کارهایست که حتما از بابت نام آن از شما سوال خواهند کرد اما در مورد عطر فوق یعنی پور مالت هنوز نمیتوان نظری داد تا از بوته آزمایش بیرون آید

Yeah, I've been hearing the hype about Pure Havane. A*Men with a blend of the best Cuban cigars on Earth (I'm runnin out on a limb here). Maybe it'll be something like A*Men with a Tom ford quality or M7 perhaps. I wonder what color the flask and star will be? Black and gold? Crimson red and chrome?

Pure Malt is boozy caramel-toffee, soon developing into smooth, fairly sweet caramelized coffee grains touched with vanilla.

PURE MALT IS NOW BEING RERELEASED IT IS ONLY AT NORSTROM.COM IT IS ONLY $70 SO FOR ALL OF YOU WHO ARE SEARCHING FOR IT GO THERE AND GET IT DON'T GO TO EBAY AND PAY 100-200 DOLLARS. IT WILL ONLY BE AVALIABLE UNTIL THE FIRST PART OF 2011. AFTER THAT THEY WILL RELEASE A NEW PURE FRAGRANCE CALLED PURE HAVANE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE AMEN MIXED WITH TOBACCO.......

bought a bottle from Norstdroms at $77 can't wait for it to be shipped, hope it does not disapoint.

I've just brought it today from debenhams £45 for 100 ml smells fantastic

I changed my mind on this one. I love the smell of this fragrance. Now on my buy list. 9/10.

Really, is this it?! So much hype, so not special...

What I get here is A*Men toned down with all the harsh smelling stuff removed (that is the tar note) and being replaced with a fruity boozy opening note. The further drydown and base are very similar to the original A*Men. I think if you love A*men that you at least like this too, but A*men is much more original albeit more difficult for reasons aformentioned.

Sillage is less loud, longevity is quite good but not so long lasting as A*Men.

Sorry guys but i dont rate this much, its like the coffee edition, it hits you at first and then bloody fades away to the piont nobody comments on it. A for men gets commenrs all the time but this just kind off hangs about you in the shade , sorry but wont purchase again.

To me, it comes off lighter than A*Men and easier to wear in my opinion. Also way more versatile than A*Men! I get a fruity note (almost like a mild sweet cherry pipe tobacco), whiskey, vanilla, amber scent that’s rich and woody but very smooth. The best part of this fragrance is of course, the dry down! I get a hint of woods, vanilla, smokey caramel, with that beautiful whiskey note lingering in the background. I haven’t found anything else out there like this! Very unique but the price gouging on this one is just ridiculous!

Angel Men pure malt is one of the best fragrances that I own in my collection. I dont know if I can call this a gourmand...I mean its sweet, but not edible-smelling.This is in lines with YSL's Body Kouros, which is also not a true gourmand, but is a great sweet fragrance no the less. I currently have two bottle of this stuff in my collection, which should last me a few good years. I tend not to wear it too much, as I value this thing like GOLD. The scent is just amazing -not something you have ever smelled before, especially for a designer fragrance. Pure Malt is better than a majority is niche fragrance, come to think of it. NO CREED FRAGRANCE HAS ANYTHING ON PURE MALT.I'd rather pay $200 bucks for Pure Malt than pay $200 buck for any damn Creed. I've heard Pure Malt is being re-released again this year so snatch it up while you can.

I e-mailed customer TM customer services myself, i got a reply and am told that pure malt will be available in fenwicks, house of fraiser and debenams on september 5th this year!!! im definately going to buy a bottle!!

I really hope they do relaunch this one, maybe i will email TM customer services myself to find out!

@Barney:

That was me and I assure you it was directly from TM customer service.

NEWSFLASH: According to some Basenotes members (they claim to have an email from a TM employee) there will be a relaunche of Pure Malt this fall 2010. Can't wait to give it a try and see if it lives up to the hype :)

i cant find it ! :(
this would be such a great edition to my collection. darn haha
thierry mugler is a genius.
taking the already fantastic a*men and aging it in whiskey barrels... wow
plus there are no dislikes on this fragrance bravo

I've tested it today. I've bought a 5 ml sample spray on ebay.
As a fan of Thierry Mugler fragrances it was a must! And I can say it's an interesting version but - unfortunately- it's not my cup of tea. On my skin it smells exactly like hot melting summer asphalt mixed with stale beer and caused me for hours a very heavy nausea even after washed it off :S

The original A*men have never smelled this way even if I used on hottest summer days. So I prefer the original or ICEman.
I recommend you to try it before buying a full bottle of it for 150-200 $!

This scent was hyped to death and after sampling it today i really don't understand why is everyone so agitated about. For me A*Men Pure Malt is a combo between Burberry London + toned down A*Men. Nothing out of this world. Get A*Men Pure Coffee instead!

This is amazing! The best in A*Men collection.
Unfortunately it's a limited edition, hard to find anywhere! :(
Anyone know where can I find this?

i would love to get samples of thierry muglar colones. no fragrance is more unique!!!

THIS IS THE BEST COLOGNE IN THE WORLD WITHOUT A DOUBT.AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT I HAVE NEVER WORN IT BEFORE BUT I HAVE SMELLED IT ON OTHER PEOPLE.I LIVE IN JAMAICA AND U CAN'T GET TO PURCHASE GREAT COLOGNES FROM THIERRY MUGLER. I GIVE IT 11/10

Very rich, very good quality fragrance! Last more than 6 hours on my skin. It start with a very nice woody scent, then slowly transfer to a very thick malt + coffee smell. Very nice and it last hours! Last note is mild patchouli scent.

It appears only for fall winter season as the richness may somehow annoy the person near you. The bottle is nice! Matte plastic surface, give you a firm grip to hold the bottle!

People who like malt/ coffee scent may give this a try! You will love it!

NO dont think its possible almost 100% it only came out in the 3.4 100ml bottle

I would really like to own pure malt but it is discontinued.

Strawberrynet sell's it in 50 ml bottle. Is it possible?

This is a high quality fragrance but not daytime use. It's too boozy for daytime in my opinion.
Flashes of original A*Men mixed with soft smokey,woodsy/malt tones. 8/10

I JUST ordered this one today and I cant wait for it to come. This was a blind buy based off the rave reviews on youtube as well as the prices(Saw listings for $200 for 1 100ml bottle!!). I found it for $65 and I kept that gangsta step.

Kinda scared since I hated A*Men and B*Men, but I have a good feeling about this...

UPDATE!!

I got this in the mail yesterday and put it on. This is a beautiful scent. Its like they took everything that I hated in A*men, like the burnt tar and nasty patchouli, and just made this totally smooth and sexy fragrance. It is so soft and expensive smelling.

Think of Angel men w/o all the harsh chemical smelling crap, and keep the chocolaty/semi-vanilla gourmand smell. Now mix that with the flavor of perfectly aged malt whiskey. There you have Pure Malt.

All that being said, this fragrance is overrated, especially with the youtube fragrance community. Most of those queers rate this scent a 10/10, but I say it is an 7.5/10 bc it isn't very versatile and it overly hyped. It is nothing groundbreaking. I was let down

Overrated fragrance. Milder than A*Men but to me it just smells too boozy to during the daytime unless you want people to think you have a drinking problem. Moderate sillage and it last 8 hours on my skin. A*men is still the champion in my book. 7.5/10.

good thing i got the samples i didnt open the real one yet its still seal plastic..i bought 3 of this on ebay around 50 bucks and now its going higher...price i bought was descent that was like 3 months ago..im glad i got it for my collection

smells wonderful..i love the chocolate

Yesterday I wore my sample of A* Men Pure Malt and I got shocked with that aroma. To me, it is better than A* Men Pure Coffee.

I loved the smell of caramel with the delicious Scottish Malt. This is my type of scent. Definitely!

Yet, in its base, some note reminded me os Polo explorer (which is the only one of the Polos I like) with its mate tea notes.

Another Mugler’s scent with high quality. Highly recommended!

Got small sample.I smell my wrist now, feel honey-smokey-chocolatey man, with power.
Sexy, not annoying, not memorably or nauseatic too much.Just right for ...

After reading all reviews one thing I can say for myself: I still would have sex with someone, who wear this perfume.(I mean not literally, but in theory!)

Probably I ask my husband to try it for me tomorrow.

I find it an overrated fragrance that is very ordinary IMO and not my cup of tea.... there must be a reason for all of these positive reviews of course...but honestly i dont get it.... it is a little bit cloying and i cant stand wearing it .... the smell is nice however ...i would'nt say i dislike it ...but i dont love it

i bought 3 of these and its limited addition...its hard to find this online so i bought at ebay...its smeels great...now i have all the collection of thierry mugler fragrance

Es mucho mas original que la versión Coffee.
Pienso que es la evolución de A*men, la perfección.

this one is definetly sweet and utterly irresistible !
it is warm , rich and sweet . it has a similar opening to A*MEN but takes about minutes to transfrom into a delightful caramel , chocolaty scent. then comes along a smoky tone which gives the irresistible factor i mention earlier !!

its definelty a winner and i say go for it , it is one of those scents that make u stand out in a crowd full of sweet perfumes !!
pure malt rocks ,
one slight little issue is the longetivity , i think this doesnt last more than 5,6 hours on ur clothes and skin so just spray enough but not too muvh or u got ur self A*MEN ! but enough to keep u up till 7 hours then it fades away fast but that is all. i say its excellent for winter nights when magic and mystical creatures appear !!!!

9.5/10

i can't stand regular a*men. it has one note that really disturbe me. this one is wearable, nice, long lasting and make you feel like in candy shop before Xmas. for me there is almost no wishy there. maybe in 2nd or 3rd plan. like good sweet cake with some alcohol that makes those sugar bomb eatable.
Good fragrance for winter!

Only after wearing A*Men Pure Malt did I fully understand the story of Narcissus.
The story of a man whose handsome looks caused him to be completely egocentric and in love with himself. One day he caught a glimpse of his reflection in a river and he couldn’t look away. He ended up dying at that riverbank.
And I nearly ended up dying too, from the spell that Pure Malt put over me! In fact, if it wasn’t for a man telling me off for standing in the way of the hand dryer, I would still be in that men’s room with my wrist glued to my nose.
This is a magnificent scent. The best gourmand I have ever had the pleasure (and it is a pleasure) to smell.

I read an earlier review stating that this was the scent of a hooker... If that’s the case, paint my face with makeup and throw a 20 at me because I love this stuff!!!

Fantastic scent. Just get it. My wife can't stop smelling me and 'mmmmmm'ing' :-)

AMAZING!!! Words can't explain how good this is. The opening is highly addictive. This is so much better than A*Men and I like the original. If you can find it, buy it!

smells kinda like Ambre in the dry down

I can still smell the caramel chocolatey tones of A*Men but mixed with the woodsy, malt whiskey undertone. Finishing with a definate oriental, smoky scent. I now own all the TM fragrances, got to say the original A*MEN and A*MEN Pure Coffee are my absolute favourites.

I'm absolutely in love with it!
As much as I like the original A*MAN - this one is even better!

OMG! Iam gona ROCK tonight!!!

Call me old fashioned but this never-ending trend of so-called gourmand note fragrances is getting on my nerves now!
Does everything we wear have to smell of food? This is such a tacky fragrance and literally smells of what is says "on the bottle": sweet, sticky, toffee malt.
Nice smelling it before tucking into your pudding, but totally uncreative in the world of good perfumery!

...oh and btw: it is totally un-masculine. This is a hooker's scent to lure you into your ...

I rest my case!

I was looking for a new fragrance and when I saw this in the store i sprayed it on my inner wrist and walked around the store sniffing every 10 mins and then i knew i really liked it after 20 mins so i bought it, it's really a lovely fragrance. I think is lovely at the day although it's better of a night time scent.

This fragrance is amazing! I'm a huge A*men fan, its probably my favorite fragrances, this one in particular is different but also similar in some ways, anyone who didnt like A*men would surely like this one (I think so atleast) if not id be surprised, it had a slight whisky top note then it gets smoother and when it dries down a bit you begin to smell a slight chocolatey, coffee, caramel smell, its very light with that whisky note lingering a bit, and although it might not sound appealing, it is! It really surprised me how nice it smelled, for anyone curious I say try it! I'm sure youll like it and be surprised!

WOW! WOW! WOW!

OK! totally forget what you know about A*Men because this one will blow you away.

I have a complete love affair with A*men, at the beginning it was all I wore, then someone put me off, by saying it was disgusting and that i smelt like a woman, so I put my bottle away and never wore it for over a year.

Anyways on to what i want to say about Pure Malt.

After being slightly disappointed by Pure Coffee last year, I was a little apprehensive about receiving my huge bottle of PM.

As soon as it came (along with loads and loads of amazing little TM samples) I ripped open the little tester, closed my eyes and spritzed... What was about to happen next was something of shock and pure lust.

This fragrance opens with a really boozy note, I know there isn't any actual whiskey in this, but it smells boozy and wonderful. it opens up with a really gorgeous fruity, alcoholic, vanilla, ambery scent that is completely sexy, think YSL opium for men only alot smoother and less harsh.

The best part is the dry-down, for the rest of the night I couldnt resist sniffing my wrist, this is one hell of a sexy, sensual, masuline scent. The original A*men is there but its disguised and very subtle, the harsh tar and tobacco notes are completely gone, whats left is a more woody, vanilla, amber (im not sure if there is amber in this) based fougere.

Well done Jacques Huiclier on creating the ultimate A*Men fragrance, this is definately A*men for the noughties> expensive, sexy and unbelieveably gorgeous.

P.S. This is available in Fenwicks of York and Selfridges as of last saturday 8th August 09

WOW! Pure Malt was not what I was expecting. I like it so much more.

It's a sweet, soft and mellow scent. It does not have that have a harsh boozy note to it (what I was expecting)

I also like it better than Pure Coffee. If I had to choose between the 2 I would go with Pure Malt.

Pure Coffee and B*Men are both among my favorite fragrances, but, I'm a little disappointed with Pure Malt. I really wanted to experience something original, interesting and 'more'. I didn't. I don't smell malt or whiskey in this, instead just another lighter, less sweet, variation on A*Men.

This is a very unique scent in which the Angel Men fragrance was placed in actually oak whiskey casts and left to age by taking in all the flavors for the whiskey soaked oak.

The scent is truly amazing in that you have a very mellow fragrance with a bite and the sweet notes of Angel men totally toned down.

I WANT THIS!!!! :( I have the original and pure coffee editions! they didnt release the coffee version here in the UK until Sept last year so hopefully they will release this around the same time this year.
