An assault on the senses with a beautiful drydown 12 hours later. The opening is horrifying clash of jarring, pungent, random notes that makes me feel sad. It's also hyper-nuclear.
Well it took me a while to get around to reviewing AMen and can't really add anything that hasn't already been said can I? Sweet, oriental, spicy juice that is definitely worthy of its legendary status as a classic modern mens fragrance. I think it's success is due to it's orignality and signiture of quality which runs through the Mugler range. Also I think when this came out it was so different to the other designer fragrances available at the time, aquatics, fresh citrus and sport ones etc... I had a bottle in the late nineties and liked it but never rebought it. I got a load of sample vials recently and this was among them...I'm wearing it today and it's transported me back. To be honest the mixture of spice and caramel is a bit sickly at first, even for someone like myself with such a sweet tooth. It sours just after the initial sweetness and gives me something odd, I can't say I'm keen on it. I like the drydown because it mellows but only slightly with coffee notes coming through and the patchouli gives it great longevity but might also be what makes it a little hard going for me. My conclusion is that I get why people love this fragrance. It deserves praise for being mainstream but also being very interesting from the unique look of the bottle to the brave use of notes. It's the kind of fragrance that I would appreciate smelling far more on someone else...I would think they were cool and had good taste.
