B*Men (for men)

Designer: Thierry Mugler Olfactive Group: Oriental Woody

Inspired by comics about superheroes, the new fresh and woody “hero” B*Men appeared in 2004. B*Men represents the embodiment of Thierry Mugler’s great child passion towards comic books and superheroes. This fragrance is the second superhero, after the A*Men, coming up in fantastic strength. It is more dynamic and powerful, being that it is meant to be the champion in a world full of danger. Knowing the story, we can now understand the unusual colors of the bottle – red star and the color of a military uniform. The fragrance was created by Christine Nagel and Jacques Huclier. The noble woody heart of the previous A*Men, greatly estimated, inspired the perfumers to make the composition of B*Men woody with spices at the centre and fruity and spicy notes of rhubarb. Amber and dried woody notes are at the base. This perfume was introduced in 2004.

The local chain store is no longer stocking fine fragrances and so reduced what they had left, so I bought a bunch of different fragrances cheaply, but without smelling any of them (no testers). I thought I had made a big mistake when I bought this. The initial application almost made me nauseous - like a bowl of over ripe fruit with a ton of spice added to it. I could actually feel it in the pit of my stomach (probably should try not to inhale). However as it dried and changed I was pleasantly surprised. A wonderful warm spiciness stayed with me all day - a very unique fragrance unlike any of the others I have. My wife really likes this one.

I didn't like B*Men that much. I bought it blind, from a chinese site, mostly because the price was unbeatable.

It contains notes common to A*Men. For instance, I love patchouli, but patchouli here is bad smelling. It just seems it's not well blended, for the same patchouli in A*Men smells great.
Overall, on my skin it lasts a good while, but smells so bad. To be honest, I must say the head notes suggest a nice sporty woody scent, but as B*Men develops, it gets really really bad. I mean it. It's exactly like an Axe deodorant you apply over insistent body odour, after 2 hours of intensive soccer playing.
So, I imagine it may be sexy and catch some girls' attentions (due to the animalic tones), but I just don't feel comfortable wearing it. Maybe it really takes a right kind of person to stand out.

I'm gonna give it another try some day, but so far I don't recommend it at all.

This one's a compliment magnet, but B*Men is a fragrance I do not enjoy wearing. The opening spritz is really nice, but there is a peanut note I get when I wear this, and to be frank, I don't want to smell like peanuts. Also, there's a patchouli explosion in the drydown. I gave this one to my Dad because he's a patchouli addict :D

I am utterly disappointed with the reviews I red in these pages. B*Men is probably the best perfume I have ever used. Nonethless, I received so many compliments by wearing this scent so I can not really describe how great it is. It is among the one of the most breath taking achievements in recent pharmeutical history.

This is heavy and offensive. Nothing but spices and a body odor note that is in every other Thierry Mugler fragrance. Not worth the price in the least.

this fragrance is such a disapointment,can t be compared to the quality of a* men. the opening is nice,sweet spicy and slightly woody but the dry down is so common and unpleasant,only the dry woods remain in the end and u can hardly feel it coz it s not a long lasting fragrance.a real waste of money,i didn t expect this. good for them coz they discontinued it so others won t waste their money on it like i did(i bought it as a present).

First of all, Mugler's line is not my favorite. Perhaps its too "avant gard". I can understnd why this on is discontinued. It reminds me of coffee spilled on on an expensive leather wallet, stuffed with old candy. If this your thing, then go for it. I had to give this on away. Nice bottle however.

B*Men at first spray has tremendous "sillage", with an apparent leather and woody blast followed by a comfortable dose of musk.

Like the growth of trees, patience is a virtue as one would discover more substance from the overall green fluid.

Its worth to wait untill fragrance will be well developed on the skin. The scent starts with smell similar to gingerbread after first spray on skin. I think its suitable for cold months, and for night.

A modern woody fragrance with green spicy accents. Vibrant, Woody, Dynamic, Masculine, Spicy, Seductive, Luminous. As a big fan of Thierry Mugler fragrances, I forgot how great this smells. I bought myself a 100ml bottle after some years now and can now appreiciate the lovely smell of it. Very woody and the licorice is quite prominent on me along with the vanilla. It also lasts all day on me which is great.

it has nothing to do with A* Men, completely different. nothing too heavy in this. a woody and warm scent that lasts for a very long time. leather, licorice and vanilla are so enjoyable.
11/22/08 12:32:02
How unfortunate that people think this is similar to A Men! This is another homerun masterpiece for Mugler. The spicy notes and the fruit notes combine with that outdoorsy vetiver to create a fragrance perfect for the fall and winter!

I've used it for about a year, what an unique fragrance. It's not for everyone, but it's amazing on the right person. Two thumbs up.

Ugh, patchouli. In heavy doses. But mixed with something that smells like incense to me, although I don't see that as one of the notes. The incense actually makes it more bearable to me than the candied-patchouli (Bloeacgh!) of A*Men.

Such a wonderful magical scent! And what a pity. Bmen is discontinued

I have to say I like this fragrance and it's really a flanker for A*MEN.

For me, it's a sweet, musky, amber wood.

It's not one of my favourites, but definitely a wearable, masculine one for the boys; if they dare.

I get a hint of raw peanut(not like the peanut cream), does anyone feel the same? on basenotes, the notes are listed as:

Top Notes: Fruit notes, Rhubarb.
Middle Notes: Sequoia, Spicy notes.
Base Notes: Amber, Vetiver

I think the peanut note is from rhubarb mixed with star anise. After this peanut smell fade away, It's quite like A*men, much lighter of course, but it in some way retain A*men's thickness and richness at same time.

This one has become my husbands new favouritefragrance.

Warm but in a way cold in the same time. Sexy, confident and a personal. For a man rather than for a boy I think.

The drydown is warm, inviting and spicy... Very much leather and licorice in it then.

Absolutly worth giving it a try.
06/10/08 02:58:55
hmm... really original smell
Strange...warm parfume with cold tones
03/20/08 14:22:35
SOOOO SEXY! A lot of wood, very warm and a little sweet, just enough for a man. I love this fragrance. I have passed by TM counter in the mall and as soon as I smelled it I had to buy it for my hubby.
