Well...Finally tried this flanker and I have to say it's very nice, not as impressive to my nose as Pure Malt but nice nonetheless. Sweet, slight cherry vibe to it very warming and again takes some of the edge off the original AMen much in the same way Pure Malt does. For me the Honey is prominent(not usually my favourite) but it's a pleasant honey that I actually enjoy. The tobacco is minimal to my nose and I was hoping for something more in this department. Overall, it's another good but subtle variation on the AMen theme and the price is agreeable too!
Update: wowee!!! I got this today and I must say my initial try did not yield much tobacco however now I've worn it properly I get a really cigar like tobacco like a smooth mild cohiba. There's a little smoke too and cherry really similar to Burberry London actually but creamy with cacao and vanilla. Frankly, I'm astounded by these A*Men flankers and how good they are initially they smell like the original but then the subtleties shine though especially in this one. It just goes to show how good the original is as it has all these different avenues to explore and make various flankers based on. This is really really good juice and I love it as much as pure malt if not more.
Warm, sweet, smooth and balsamic.
Beautiful honey tobacco, lots of soft resinous warmth, smoothing vanilla, with patchouli adding a little tingle of green spice.
