Tried this for the first time yesterday, it was love at first sniff. On first spray it's a wonderfully refreshing burst of lime, that dries down to a warm coconutty glow. Like others have said, it's coconut without the sun lotion aspect. Very summery, quite light but good longevity. So good I bought a bottle, and that's coming from someone who hates coconut!!

Dior Homme is my work scent. So different from most mens fragrances. It's very soft and powdery yet projects quite well. I wear it for work because i think it comes across as quite distinguished and smart. It's one of those addictive smells, once it's own i have to keep smelling myself. A winner!

Angel is simply legendary, whether you like 'her' or not, you cannot deny that she is a powerful force within the fragrance industry. I personally love Angel and all her counterparts (Innocent and The Garden of Stars). They're sweet, spicy, sexy, earthy (that'll be that patchouli!) and the boys love it :P

My fave of all the Garden of Stars collection (along side the Rose Angel). It's spicey, sexy and pretty, all the things that Angel should be! Also, i'm surprised that noone has mentioned how beautiful the Garden of Stars bottles are, they really are striking!!

I bought this today, really enjoyed it. To me it's nothing like Le Male, i'm sure they may share the same base but on the whole it's quite a different scent. The first spray is like a big whiff of pollen, which I think some people aren't going to like, the only other thing I really smell is tyres. Very odd, but on the whole a very interesting fragrance.

I believe this fragrance was created for Madonna as a present from Sting and Trudi Styler. I haven't tried it.

It actually smells like sweaty ass!

Wow, just wow. This stuff is amazing. Its so refined, yet at the same time it's very youthful and trendy. It's such a shame that it doesn't last longer.

My local Thierry Mugler SA gave me a sample of this today, it goes on sale next week. I'm pretty sure that it's the A*Men summer flash just rebranded and given it's own permanent line of products. I did a comparison of the two and really couldn't smell the difference. It's a nice fragrance, a toned down version of A*Men, the 'Iced Coffee' is the most prominent note, it also contains nutmeg. I would possibly buy it, but it's really nothing to get overjoyed about.

Bought this today, very nice fragrance, not Muglers best but it's good for him not to bring out something ground breaking or over the top. It's a very subtle, ambery version of Angel, it does share some similarities with Cool Water for women but it has something darker lurking beneath the surface. There is definitely some Angel swimming about in these shores!

Reminds me very much of Black Orchid, which isn't a bad thing at all.

As a massive fan of Mugler i bought this to complete my collection. It's simply just a fruity version of Angel, making it alot easier to wear. I still don't think it is that different to Angel. Still I like it a lot. Thierry Mugler + Dominique Ropion = Good combo!

Bought this after sniffing it in a department store, i sprayed it on my hand expecting not to like it. I then spent the next hour looking like a complete idiot with my hand glued to my nose, i knew then and there that I had to go back and buy it. It's so sweet and powdery without being cloying, not to heady, just a wonderful fragrance.

I guess I'm biased towards this one as it was always my mothers 'going out' perfume when i was younger. So i immediately associate it with happyness :) Smells very similar to Boudoir by Vivienne Westwood to me, which is the closest I can get to it seeing as it has been discontinued. Any chance of reissuing it at all Ralph? Hehe!

I have a bit of a love hate relationship with A*Men. I'll tell myself i hate it then try some on me and fall in love with it all over again. But after a few days i can't stand it and want it gone! Personally i prefer B*Men it's a much sexier scent and more consistent. I cannot deny how good a scent A*Men is though, one that provokes such a passionate response can't be bad!

My favourite fragrance of all time with the most perfect name! It's sparkling, fun, flirtatious and just so damn sexy! Like Vivienne Westwoods first perfume 'Boudoir' it is based around her favourite flower 'Viburnum'. Great for nights out or just for every day wear. If i could give it two thumbs up i would!

I stumbled across this today, there was a gift set on sale, so thought i'd investgate alas to say I was pleasently surprised. I'm a big fan of most of Muglers perfumes (Alien, Angel and Cologne mainly) but not so much A*Men. Partly because i don't suit mens fragrances and partly because i find it too sickly sweet. So I tried this for the first time today, it's such a sexy, masculine smell like A*Men but without the sweetness spoiling it. This will be perfect for every day wear at work, or even for romantic wear, it has that sexy animalistc quality, that I think would be very sexy on the right man.

I was really dissapointed by this one. I was expecting a really lovely and loud floral. All i was presented with was candy floss, it's sickeningly sweet and 'sticky' smelling. Not worth the price (about £50 for 50 mls over here in the UK). Fantastic bottle though!

I love this. It's a very light floral, but with something a bit deeper and darker hiding under the top notes. Unfortunately i find it doesn't last very long on my skin. Definitely one of my favourites of the 'Poisons' (Tendre Poison being my favourite).

Smells exactly like 'Crave' by Calvin Klein to me, which i wore when i was about 14. Nice but a bit too sweet for me.

Smells like burnt cookies to me! Way too much vanilla and very sickly.

Booooooooooring! I bought this because i needed something for an interview. God knows why I chose this, it's just so dull and unoriginal. The ladies Euphoria is a dark, sexy and musky fragrance, but the mens is just a boring, citrus mess. Nothing Euphoric about this one.

As this is Thierry Mugler i had to buy it. Boy was I surprised. This is an amazing scent, fresh, citrusy, clean, mossy, musky and wonderful. It has great sillage, and seems to last a long time. Will be perfect for summer when Muglers other creations would be impossible to wear. I've heard great things about the shower gel too, so i think i'll try that too. Perfect for people who don't like fragrances.

This is absolutely vile, it smells like unclean toilets. I really cannot see anything nice about it. I sprayed it on my arm out of curiosity and it wont go away, help!!

I'm wearin Le Male for the first time in about a year. I wore this fragrance from when i was 16 to when i was 18, it reminds me of lots of great times, summers with my friends before they went off to university, my ex boyfriend and a Madonna concert. It's very sentimental. The scent itself is very strong. The opening is very fresh (mint) and it stays quite fresh for a long time before it settles to a soft vanilla and musk drywown. Le Male lasts for ages, and like others have said needs to be applied sparingly. It's only downside imo is the fact that it's so popular, i like to be quite individual in the fragrances i wear, unfortunately you only need to go to any bar (gay or straight) in the UK and you'll find most of the boys drenched in it. For me, i think i'll wear this one on occasional summer days when i want to reminisce on my teenage years.

I think i spilled some of this on my pillow case once, since then it has been washed about 100 times and i can still sometimes smell Alien when i'm in bed. Goes to show how this has amazing longevity. I always get comments while wearing this. Some people have said that it has a chemical smell like turpentine or some kind of disinfectant, i can understand what they mean, but i think that makes the perfume so wonderful. The name provokes alot of responses too. The creater Dominique Ropion has created some of my fave scents (Anglomania, Safari, Live, Innocent etc) so hats off to him. My advice is not to let the name or 'turpentie' to put you off, this is a wonderful fragrance that lasts forever.

I don't think there are words to describe my love for Kingdom. It's romantic in a 16th century English way. It makes me think of gothic castles. Lots of people say that it smells like unwashed lady parts, I have to say that i can't see it. It does have a body smell, but i don't think it is unclean. Kingdom runs along side McQueens couture lines, it's gothic, romantic and beautiful. The bottle is by far the best i've seen in a long while.

I tried this one recently and i really didn't like it. I found it just smelt really chemically and strong. Not one for me i'm afraid.
