A*Men Taste Of Fragrance Still Available

post #1 of 45

Thread Starter 
Just wanted to throw it out there for other members here who might not have had a chance to pick up A*Men Taste Of Fragrance, but I tried ordering it from Mugler's website and the order was processed and shipped, due to arrive tomorrow.

Seem's it's still in stock apparently as I wasn't sure it would be from what I had read around.

Hope this info helps anyone who was looking to get a bottle before the inflated price trend kicks in.

If they had launched it as Angel Men Pure Chilli i have certain that it would be sold out.
Very complicated name. But the fragrance is the best flanker of Angel men until now.

I'll have to have a look around for this I think.

I can't imagine it being very popular in these parts, so hopefully there are still a few bottles here and there.

I bought this one with Pure Shot merely to add to my collection (must have them ALL!). Turns out to be my favorite of all.

Agreed, even though I only wore it once, I still wanted it for my collection

I just got on the phone and bought a bottle at Nordstrom. They're out at the store but managed to get one shipped. I guess it's depleting fast. Thanks killerloop, glad I looked at your post.

This one's a sleeper. Recently sold all my Mugler Pure flankers - except this one. That says a lot, in my opinion.

My pleasure! Was hoping to help some people out who wouldn't want to spend a lot on it further down the line, whether for those who want to keep their collection complete or happened to enjoy a sample they've tried

I got this as soon as it came out and it is the only Mugler scent I really, really like! It is funny how there seems to have been a turn around on this fragrance. At first it seemed I was the only one that liked this. Now it seems to be appreciated more. It is one I often turn to when I am uncertain what to wear. Love it!

Yeah, test it again. Nothing weak, actually about as much strong as the regular Angel Men.
It shares some similarities too, but with tons of very hot chilli. Fantastic stuff, i think i like it more than any other flankers and even the regular Angel Men.

It starts strong, but longevity is only average. Nothing like original A*Men.

When I checked today on Nordstrom's website it still let you add it to cart so they should be available on there too as far as I can tell.

I would think it better to order off the Mugler site. No taxes and 3 samples. If you have a Nordstoms in your state I believe they will add tax.

When I placed my orders through Mugler's site, there were taxes as well, but they do offer free shipping (orders over $75) so that pretty much negated the taxes. The samples do make it worthwhile to go direct from Mugler, but Nordstrom still seems to be an option just in case.

Is there some kind of TM store in NY? I was doing a trial purchase and no taxes for Texas.

Not that I am aware of. That's strange with the tax thing. A google search, of course, turned up articles and pictures of his Penthouse in NYC.

B/c of this thread I sprayed some on and I wonder why I don't wear it more often. I stand by what I said the first time I smelled it: It smells like the chili pepper coated Mexican lollipops...which is nice. It's very sweet and spicy at the same time. It doesn't smell like A*Men at all to me. It's nowhere near as strong either, but that makes this one much more versatile. I'm glad to have it in the collection. I enjoy it more than Pure Sh*t.

Yeop that's why I decided not to get a bottle. Great opening but nothing like the other flankers. Very weak and overpriced for what it is IMO.

I don't understand...this one is not weal at all for me. A couple of sprays lasts all day for me. I have some very strong perfumes, i.e. Montale Black Aoud with extra concentration. ToF is not as strong as my Black Aoud, but certainly not weak for me. Maybe I just carry this off better, don't know.

I get about 8 hours with this one so it's not bad. I get 12+ hours with A*Men though.

I really love the opening on this! Two sprays for the day, we'll see how it goes from the actual bottle as opposed to a sample spray

Nothing weak and a very good longevity too. I get 10 hours easy with this.

That's pretty good. Just average for me and I saw that it was only average on a few reviews I saw. Then again if we are counting the time you can still barely catch a whiff of it when you hold your arm up to your nose, then I could add an hour or two, but I don't really count that.

I'm really loving this stuff and surprisingly enough, the chili pepper note along with everything else is incredible in the dry down!

I can see this not lasting quite as long as A*Men but it's still going nicely. I can see about 6 hours from this.

Wow this dry down is absolutely delicious. Getting a truly amazing chocolate from it with hints of the pepper still. Sure sounds like a crazy combination but damn is it good!

If anyone is interested there are few for sale on ebay for $59.99. It grows on my really fast. It is not as much A*Men (probably even less than Pure Havane) as other flankers but it is very wearable.
