What is your favorite a*men: Original a*men, pure coffee, pure malt, or pure havane?

[Ken_Russell]

1) Among these, my absolute favorite is Pure Havane
2) I still have no clue which next A*Men should yet be released in future, the possibilities are limitless

[d4N13L]

Pure Havane is far away the best of all.

I expect something as good as the previous. Maybe another masculine pleasure (we already get coffee, alcohool and cigar). WHo knows, maybe barbecue, lol

[silentrich]

Pure Malt here.

[danwalsh]

1- Pure Malt
2- Pure Oud - so shoot me !!! Love to smell their take on it.

[Pipsta]

I love both the Pure Havane and Pure Coffee. PH is more versatile and something I can wear quite a bit. PC is less versatile but just as good in my opinion.

The original A*Men and Pure Malt carry too much of that signature accord from the line. It's too intense and gives me headaches. In those other two flankers it's toned down and I can enjoy the scent without adverse effects.

[subhuman85]

Coffee. (And apparently I'm alone, so far.) Havane would be my next choice. Malt is too sweet, and the original is a disaster.

No idea what they should do next, but I'd like to see some tweaking of the base. I know that honeyed-creamy-patchouli thing is what ties them all together, but I'm getting a little tired of it.

[petruccijc]

A*Men (original)

[hednic]

Pure Malt

[MrFragranceReview]

I prefer Pure Malt since it's everything I like about the original and nothing I hate with an added boozy accord which is quite nice.

[DavidBond007]

A*Men (original)

Same and pure malt.

[Riley]

I voted for Pure Malt

On a side note: I was talking to an SA this past weekend, & she said to watch out for an August release of all the Mugler's with cooking spices.
For instance, A*Men will be mixed in with a hot pepper paste

[northsuburbs13]

The original A*Men

[G.303]

I like them all but must go with the original.....Gary

Has anyone seen Pure Malt being sold at a department store or any kind of store recently? I want to purchase a bottle of Pure Malt since i don't own a bottle of it yet. I'm trying to avoid making online purchases.

[slvrbckgorilla]

I prefer Pure Havane very slightly to Pure Malt, however, I love them both. Pure Coffee is a good fragrance, but, not on the level of the other two in my opinion. A*men the original is definitely not for me, I just don’t like it.

I have been thinking what I would like to see for the next flanker. I think it would be awesome to do a double release; Pure Chocolate Dark and Pure Chocolate White. White being a light sweet day time wear type fragrance, maybe with some floral notes and Dark being a night type fragrance, possibly using Oud notes. The Chocolate Dark bottle would be dark brown with a black star and the Chocolate White would be a white bottle with a silver star. I think the dual release would be an interesting and fresh twist.

I looked high and low for a couple weeks just recently. Unfortunately, it appears to be completely out in department stores. I even had a couple of the larger stores check their computers nation wide. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news…

[scentimus]

Pure Malt - only wish it had a little more projection to it.

[taint it sweet]

Pure Malt...good stuff

[perfaddict]

Pure Havane

I'm very compelled to simply cut my losses and settle with just Pure Havane (and Original A*MEN too though i don't like it as much). I guess i will never come across a bottle of Pure Malt in the stores ever :/ I hope Thierry Mugler produces another A*MEN Pure that will ultimately kick Pure Malt's Butt!! That will bring some satisfaction to my losses.

[subhuman85]

I still see Pure Malt in stores here (southern Ontario).

Which stores?!?! Do they allow online purchases and shipping in the US?

[JonnyLeMale]

not that its def my number 1 or anything, but no love for B*Men?

Pure Malt
B*Men
Pure Havane
A*Men

dont let the fact that A*Men is last fool you into thinking I dont love it, I just love the others more

p.s. have not tried pure coffee

[laph]

The original A*Men is my favourite so far but I've only tried this and Pure Malt.

[blackened]

Pure Malt hands down!

honorable mention: B*Men

[etoile]

AMen (Original) is the best. The other are toned down version of the original with something else. This are version for who doesn´t like the real Amen.

[Larwiz]

Pure Havane then the original...

[Neurosis]

A*Men original is my favorite fragrance ever so yeah

[DULLAH]

1. Pure Havane

2. I would like a fresh mint flanker "Pure Menthe", but I fear this won't happen. I think it's a done deal, in the works: Pure Oudh


Here is a possible inspiration for pure menthe:

Ice*Men comes close to a 'fresh' A*Men flanker.

[Shaheen]

It's a toss up between Pure Coffee and Pure Malt, however I think I would ultimately choose Pure Coffee. Luckily I own full bottles of all 4 fragrances, so I never have to choose.

[fumegator]

Coffee!

[Jridgen]

Pure Malt. But: I haven't tried Pure Coffee yet and have a sample coming. It sounds up my alley.

[loungeboy]

ICE*MEN is my favorite but from the list I guess the original is best.

[M.David]

1- Pure Malt
2- A*Men

Never smelled Pure Coffee but is it similar to New Haarlem?

[Shaheen]

Not really, no. Pure Coffee is sort of acrid and bitter at the top (but still very sweet), and dries down to a slightly more subtle A*Men base with a lot more chocolate. New Haarlem resembles Rochas Man but much deeper, richer, and more complex.

Would Thierry Mugler be willing to send out free samples of Pure Coffee by mail?

[Shaheen]

Would Thierry Mugler be willing to send out free samples of Pure Coffee by mail?

No. It's long been discontinued and they don't have any plans in bringing it back. They don't have any more samples of Pure Coffee or Pure Malt. You can order a decant of Pure Coffee from The Perfumed Court.

[N.CAL Fragrance Reviewer]

Thierry Mugler took down Pure Havane from their online Boutique!

[blackice]

Pure Coffee > Pure Havane > Pure Malt > A*Men

[yrk]

a*men for its boldness

Summing up the poll:

Pure Coffee < Original < Pure Havane <<<<< Pure Malt

This statistic holds unless more people vote

[Jridgen]

Pure Malt. But: I haven't tried Pure Coffee yet and have a sample coming. It sounds up my alley.

Well as you can see by my revised list I would now change to Pure Coffee as my favorite. And I agree with the other comments about it not being much like New Haarlem. Pure Coffee to me smells like actual coffee beans whereas the coffee in NH is subtle compared to the carmel/patchouli/bakery vibe.

[Ivan D' Great]

I vote for Pure Malt, it was pure love at first sniff. Followed close by the Original A*men.
I think Ice man wasn't bad (I love patchouli) and the summer essence no way. Never tried Pure coffee and Pure Havane I'ts growing on me.
Can't wait for the new w/ hot sauce.

Sounds bizarre but I think it will be great. Apparently the spice will bring out the coffee note more so and since I missed out on Pure Coffee ... I am all about that idea. Count me in

So much love for Pure Malt but it was way too boozy for me. Had to sell it.

[ChuckW]

I wore Pure Havane yesterday and enjoyed every second of it. Three sprays and I was good all day, four may have been perfect, though. My wife smelled me eight hours later and she complimented me on it. It's a great one, and may be one of my Top 10 in my collection right now. Great in Summer, and may be better this Fall and Winter! Glad I have a big 'ol bottle.

It's easily the very best Mugler I've smelled. No regrets.

[N.CAL Fragrance Reviewer]

Anyone has a bottle of PM that they would be willing sell/swap let me know!

[Tony the Tiger]

Pure malt

[ballys06]

Pure Havane. For me the most versatile and pleasant.

[Partario]

Pure Malt. Though Pure Havane is quite enjoyable when riding my motorcycle around at night. The booziness of Pure Malt though...... salivating.

[Gekisen]

I like Pure Malt the best. I own Pure Havane though because I missed the PM train...
PH doesn't have the wow! factor of PM but it's well rounded and thoroughly enjoyable. It's beautiful but not as attention grabbing and is wearable on more occasions.
I still want PM though
Original A*Men smells rich and chocolatey from afar but up close it smells dirty to me.

[N.CAL Fragrance Reviewer]

Pure Malt and Pure Havane are my favorites though Pure Malt slightly edges out Pure Havane.

I ought to try Pure Coffee, im most unfortunate not to find samples of it with the exception of it being sold on online websites which i'm completely against.

[topnotchtennis]

Pure malt by a hair but pure havane is really growing on me

[pluran]

Angel is a phenomenal fragrance, one of the best things I've ever smelled on my girlfriend (she wears the body cream), but I don't love any of the men's versions.

[noggs]

I haven't tried Pure Havane, but of the ones I know I like Pure Malt the best.
