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. : (
I haven’t either!
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 agree, I love the bottle.
Orange!! Why are there not more flaming orange bottles?!
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.
Oh my goodness I just HAVE to try this!!! That bottle, it looks so cool!!
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!
I thought this sounded fabulous…
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.
Aaaaagggghhh! LEMMING!
Now I NEED the Taste of Fragrance one too! ……Aaaaaaaaggggghhh!
My favorite too!
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
