A*men Body Tonic Disaster

I like the A*men Body Tonic because basically it's just an interesting alternative version of A*men.

I hadn't used it for a while, and I went to put some on from the pressure spray can. Nothing came out, the spray top fell off. I put the spray top on again, pushed and again nothing came out.

I pushed harder and success, it came out- all of it - the whole damned can came spewing out, and I couldn't stop it. It went all over my clothes, and all over the floor as I made a mad dash for my bath tub with it spraying out every where, and got there in time for the last bit to sputter out of the can.

My whole house now smells of A*men Body Tonic.

I had previously posted a positive review of this item. I now retract it.

Did you call the HAZMAT (hazardous materials) team to remove it?

It's only A*men - not Kouros.

The body tonic is great it smell very much like the shower gel. The over all scent is much lighter and I feel holds more lavender notes. Very clean smelling

Thierry Mugler hates me. First, my small spray vial sample of Mugler cologne literally exploded in my pocket one day (I always wonder if it was the secret 'S' note trying to get out.)

And then, I had another spray vial of BMen leak all over my gym bag. I got quite a bit on my hands while trying to clean my bag. I had another pair of clothes in the car so I went and got them and tried to go ahead with my workout, but the BMen on my hands was just too much (despite several washings, I couldn't get the stuff off.) 15 minutes and a brutal headache later, I was on my way home.

I still want to get me some Mugler cologne, although the first time I wore it was when I was cleaning out my old apartment as me and my ex were splitting up, and I have a feeling every time I smell it I'll be transported back to that day. It wasn't a terrible break up - it was a mutual decision - but still, it's not something I want to be reminded of on a regular basis.

Ah, the power of the olfactory memory.

That's why I'm so annoyed with my unexpected loss. It's clean smelling because to me it's A*men without the tar.

They were getting rid of it at Myers a while back for around $20 or $30 a bottle. It helps to scavange their suburban stores' sale tables.

I had to laugh when I read what you wrote. After the disaster last night with the Body Tonic all over my arms, chest and legs, I had to have a long shower.

So today I wore 8 sprays of XS to work. The only problem was I kept getting waft after waft of A*men Body Tonic coming up from all over me.

Then I came home to my house which had been closed all day, and now smelled like an A*men factory.

Not to make light of the situation, but i would have paid to see that.
