Same. $85 is a lot to risk on something that seems merely OK at this point.

Mugler's site is flash based, so not many phones will work with it.

Not sure if I'm going to wait for more reviews...

They need to replace this limited edition purchase with Pure Malt instead. No body cares about Pure Shot.

Good point. Also, by the time you come to sell it, it'll probably be out of stock everywhere and people will be willing to pay crazy prices.

The way they keep everything so limited, I'd rather not get screwed if I end up liking it and the price being jacked up on me. I'd have no problem with selling at cost to a member here if I didn't like it.

So I got a cancellation email stating that only 50 bottles of Pure Shot were ever made and they sold out in a record 22 seconds. They might rerelease 10 bottles of this next year so stay tuned!

I was excited when I got the email and tried going on my phone to order as well with no luck. Went on my laptop, was about to order and then sanity crept in.. I can wait a little bit for this and save some $ plus I will scream at the Clarins rep at my store to let me decant her bottle when she gets it for free

Would LOVE to hear peoples first reactions!

You have got to be f&%*#@g kidding me! 50 bottles and all the hype over this? If this is true, Mugler is playing a risky game with all their fans. And if this is true, I will never buy another Mugler scent again.

That's ridiculous if this is true, about only 50 bottles being made/sold. If that's how they continue to do their limiteds/flankers etc I'm content with restocking my A*men only.

Pretty sure that was meant as a joke based on the craziness of these past limited edition flankers I'm just hoping they don't sell out before I get home later tonight since their site won't work on my phone

Don't feel too bad, there's European companies that shit on everyone outside of Europe. Example being, I'd kill to get a new bell bottle from Serge Lutens, but they don't sell those outside of Europe.

SUBDUED MINT ? A silent fragrance ? Toned down patchouli ?

We as fragrance affixianados know the house of Mugler to be bold, daring, and unafraid of using notes other designer houses are scared to, and using them BIG.

Mint seems to be a note everyone is scared of...they always tiptoe around it. Hinting at it, trying not to give the wearer any direct comparison to oral hygiene products or chewing gums. I really thaught Mugler would be one to cast that mainstream fear to the wind and go big. Very disappointed if the initial reviews are true. Simply cannot buy this one blind.

Mildly tempted to go blind on this, but will wait until it hits retail outlets so I can test it. This will certainly be available for several months online so I'm not too worried about missing out on it right now.

How much was the total with overnight shipping?

105$ Shipping was 20 bucks. I overnighted it because I am curious about picking up taste of fragrance before it sells out and I want the taste of fragrance sample to decide.

+1 ... I'm very curious to see the reaction. I might blind buy if there is a massive positive reaction on the internet to this fragrance. Otherwise, I'd have to test it for myself.

I'm a bit disappointed that it's going for $85. For a summer designer fragrance, that's a bit over priced IMO.

Also, they don't even list the notes on the website. It just says the following:
Imagine a shot of adrenaline, a boost of invigorating energy and a burst of power. A*MEN Pure Shot is a distinctive limited edition Eau de Toilette designed for explosive intensity. A*MEN Pure Shot inspires men to push their limits, exceed their expectations and embrace invincibility.

Seems too much like a marketing gimmick.

You can't. Delivery is only for US. Maybe you can use a forwarding service like http://www.shipito.com/ (8,50$ + shipping 35$ for Europe)
