I just spotted some A*Men Aftershave Tonic for sale and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this and how the scent compares to the original. I have gone through a couple of bottles of A*Men over the years, and while I like it, it comes on so strong and is so potent and long lasting that I decided to simply move on. For a while, I considered purchasing the Sunessence version, which I found to be far more pleasing and less aggressive, simply because I couldn't find anything else to substitute for the role A*Men used to play in my fragrance wardrobe.
And now I have spotted this Aftershave tonic.
What I would hope for is a product that smells like the original, but in a more muted, less ostentatious fashion. Less projection, less longevity. For me 4-5 hours of gentle tarry chocolate patchouli sweetness is enough for any one wear. I don't need it clinging to me tenaciously for 24+ hours. My plan would be to pour the tonic in an atomizer and use it just as I would use the original.
So does anyone know if this fits the bill? Or is this simply a companion fragrance that is meant to coordinate, but not match, the original?
