Thierry Mugler A*Men Ultra Zest

Thierry Mugler has launched A*Men Ultra Zest, a new limited edition fragrance for men. A*Men Ultra Zest is a flanker to 1997′s A*Men, and follows A*Men Pure Energy, A*Men Pure Shot, A*Men Pure Havane, A*Men Pure Malt, A*Men Pure Coffee and A*Men Pure Wood, among others. 

A*Men Ultra Zest was developed by perfumers Jacques Huclier and Quentin Bisch. Notes for the spicy woody citrus include tangerine, blood orange, ginger, spearmint, coffee, cinnamon, black pepper, patchouli and tonka bean.

    Will definitely try this, hoping the spearmint is nearly invisible or a remote bit player here.

      I will definitely try it too, although admit I am behind on A*Men flankers.

      It just gives it a freshness. The opening is going to be like a burst of fresh citrus. The mint amplifies the fresh tone, but you don’t smell mint.

    Oh wow! Must try/have for me! I still haven’t really tested Pure Wood. : (

        Pure wood is good.
        Sorry-couldn’t resit! I just tried Pure Wood and Pure Malt at a dept store. I tried Havane last year, I really like it but it did give me a headache . Still might( probably will ) buy it anyway. This one sounds great too ! I like the spearmint in Prada Luna Rossa, and the mint in some Guerlains. It probably won’t show up in my area for another year though…

    HOLY COW.

    Obviously I am going to have to smell this, but my instinct is just to buy the damned thing. That bottle!

        I love how you can search Fragrantica by color…

    This sounds definitely test worthy. I admire TM’s willingness to experiment or appear to experiment with these A*mens.

      It is just such a pity though that it is only available in 100ml…

        Every one of the A*Men flankers has been available only in a 100-mL bottle, as far as I know, but they’re generally priced at about $90 or so, which is not outrageous. I wish they came in smaller bottles, too, though: I have two of them (Malt and Coffee) and I will never, ever use them up. I’d probably have them all if they came in 30-mL bottles.

          True! And like you I would also probably never be able to use up 100ml easily. Would also love to smell Pure Coffee as I love coffee scents.

    This sounds potentially awesome to me, as long as the spearmint and patchouli are very bit players.

      Patchouli has a starring role in all of the Angel and A*Men variants I’ve ever tried, so you may be disappointed.

    Pure Malt and Pure Coffee sound amazing, but I never got to try either. I have, and enjoy Pure Havane, but am not a fan of Shot or Wood. This has many of my favorite notes, so I’m holding thumbs!

    Oh dear! Sounds like my commute home will somehow take a detour through the Mugler counter. Orange! Wow!

    My favorite is Les Gout du Parfum, seems to have a little more coffee and a little less chocolate than the original A*Men to my nose. I also enjoy Angel Ice Men and B*Men.
    Bought Pure Malt blindly and completely regret it, yuk. 🙂

    Tried this today and actually quite ape joyed it – the citrus is right up front and I didn’t get any of the spearmint that was mentioned above as a potential worry.

    Only available in 100ml but in the UK its retailing at £47 which is pretty cheap and cheerful – the bottle is cool too if you like day-glo Orange ! In the flesh it’s a brighter orange than shown in the photo
