No A*Men flanker this Spring/Summer?

Thread Starter 
Apologies if that has been gone over already, I've been away for a while... But I notice 3 new Aqua Chic flankers, but no mention of anything A*Men. Last year, Pure Shot was announced on Feb 7th, and they're usually pretty consistent.

Have they finally figured out their Spring/Summer flankers suck? Are they working on something totally new? Or are they just going to leave well enough alone? Anyone have insight?

Hopefully they are working on something. It better be better than Pure Shot and Pure Leather.

I wish Mugler would do something totally new for men. Honestly, all of the A*Men flankers have very similar DNA. Time for something new and more modern. (probably time for that heavy patchouli house note to go).

Whatever future flanker they are to come out with, it will be added to my collection blindly.

Thank god. We get a moment of respite and reprieve from the endless releases of mediocre Angel Men flankers.

With the new infamy of the face of Pure Shot, Pistorius, the "bladerunner", the scent is being revised and renamed. The new formula is tentatively going to be called "Pure Shit" pending test marketing.

The alternative name, C*Men, is still under consideration.

I wouldn't mind a Pure Tobacco.

Havane just didn't do it for me, it's nice but it's a like a step-brother to the line for me.

Another idea would be a gourmand fragrance without the patchouli DNA. Something that's nice and sweet, spicey.

Pure Bakery?

i was told that they plan on relaunching PURE HAVANE as a permanent fragrance in the line. it was successful enough and there is a demand and a market for it. nothing new on the horizon.
they should come out with a fall fragrance, PURE AUTUMN - patchouli, pumpkin, cinnamon, coffee...voila its HALLOWEEN in a bottle

LMAO.

A pessimist sees this as damage control on the part of Thierry Mugler.
An optimist sees this as a way to reduce the supply of Pure Shot.
A sadist sees the possibility of Pistorius' contract being revived for a new campaign on "Pure Shot" as hilarious.

I guess I'm in the minority. I really enjoy Pure Shot.

It will either be Pure Beef or Pure Mugler. It will smell of beefcake.
