The Fifth Annual Basenotes Awards

Best Men's Fragrance: A*Men / Angel Men by Thierry Mugler

 

2005 is the second consecutive year that A*Men (Angel Men in some territories) has picked up the award for Best Fragrance For Men. It is loved and hated in such equal measures that we guess that if we also ran an award for Worst Fragrance for Men, A*Men would walk off with that as well!

Next year sees A*Men reach its tenth birthday, and although by comparison a relative newcomer, can stand proud amongst the classics of Men's fragrance, such as Eau Sauvage, Aramis and Chanel Pour Monsieur.

Chanel's, often overlooked, Egoiste was voted runner-up. Maybe we are seeing the start of an Egoiste revival? Basenotes certainly hopes so
