A Men Pure Malt Edt Vapo 100ml

Product Information

I don’t see my preferences changing any time soon, but you never know. That’s the beauty of this hobby. I can see why folks complain about potency longevity and so on. It definitely suffers a bit in the reformulation. Don’t be afraid to hit the sprayer enthusiastically. To the person that said this is a youthful scent. LOL No effing way! This is 30+, whiskey neat, cigar in the other hand all day.

The fruity notes are there as in the original, as is the malt and peat. But after a few hours, it turn into a coffee blend with caramel and chocolate, and it is here where the fusion with A*Men (Original-1996)shows up. In the original Pure Malt, I could smell the caramel and the chocolate in it, but this one its smells different, it smells stronger maybe because of the vanilla.The opening of Pure Malt really sets the stage. This is a a rich and enticing fragrance. It kind of reminds me of B*Men also by Thierry Mugler but way better with less spice and an enjoyable fruitiness. Pure Malt feature a boozy type of aroma, It's beautiful, like a fine whiskey. There is a warm sweetness in the same vein as Pure Havane but with alcohol in lieu of tobacco. The start features the blend of fruits, vanilla, whiskey, and a bit of the patchouli. The patchouli comes through to give it a warm bakery feeling, like it does in so many women’s perfumes. However here, it just helps to shape the alcoholic sweetness.

This is quite a masculine cologne and while I like it, it seems that women had mixed feelings about it while I had it on. Most liked it, but weren’t in love with it. It’s funny because I really liked wearing this stuff, so this is one, I probably won’t account for others’ opinions. Pure Malt opens with a rich, sweet, cozy, powerful, boozy accord. It’s intense but pleasant; it’s playful yet sophisticated. Imagine being well dressed, eating desserts and drinking beer and whiskey at a fancy brewery, laughing and having a good time with your friends around holiday season, that’s what Pure Malt smells like. The sweetness here is a mixture of burnt caramel, dried fruits, honey, and of course malt. I learned from youtuber Redolessence that this fragrance contains ethyl maltol, which is responsible for creating this malt + caramel feel. The sweetness is slightly synthetic but it smells so delicious I don’t really care. The original A*Men DNA is still present but the harshness and patchouli are toned down quite significantly. Pure Malt is truly a masterpiece. I understood all the hype as soon as I tried it for the first time and 7 years later I’m still addicted and own 2 bottles now (2014 and 2018 versions). Easily the best flanker in the A*Men line. Amber Wood reminds me immediately of Mugler A*Men Pure Malt, but just a bit more powdery and sharp via the inclusion of iris, but the amber and wood with patchouli in Amber Wood more or less recreate the base of coffee and patchouli mixed with the booze in Pure Malt. A phenomenal release by the House of Mugler, and a fitting/ maybe final addition to the A Men line. This flanker adds another dose of gourmand sweet heaven, with a coffee take mixed with a blue fresh, mass appeal sprinkled all over it. Out of most of the Muglers A Men line, this is by far your "safe bet" perfume, highly versatile and a huge compliment getter, especially within the first few hours or so where thr projection and sillage is great.There is an ensemble of fruit-like notes within the gourmandish accord that envelops the bold malt. They are strongly muted, as like to preserve the sense of masculinity, while also striving to have an effect of ambrosia about them (the nectar of the Gods). It is awesome that Thierry Mugler has re-released Pure Malt in its new, improved Creation 2013 incarnation - a very smart move which shows that this great house is responsive to the desires of fans and aficionados alike, and as the original A Men secured its place in fragrance history I have no doubt that Pure Malt is equally worthy of status as a classic and in many ways revolutionary fragrance.
