Thierry Mugler A*Men Pure Malt: Boozy And Sexy
Subscribe To Our Feed
A*Men Pure Malt is the most recent interpretation of Thierry Mugler’s A*Men. Pure Malt was inspired by the Scottish peaty whisky which is redolent of sensual woody accents thus creating an exciting malt experience, gourmand style. Aged in oak barrel, this limited edition variant of A*Men is a cocktail of luxury spirits with a distinct boozy note that balances the food-y notes of the fragrance.
Pure Malt smells a lot like A*Men Pure Coffee (2008) sans the coffee, of course. It is rather a paled version of A*Men but the gourmand character is still noticeably pronounced. The top notes are suggestive of booze then transitions into toffee-malt sweetness. The dry down evokes warmth with just a slight dose of patchouli and bits of vanilla musk. Pure Malt is rather tamed in terms of potency. The creaminess emanating from the combination of woods and malt whisky come across as plesant devoid of the candied sweetness. The sillage is quite average as compared with the earlier flankers. Longevity is so-so as Pure Malt is paler version of A*Men. The boozy-caramel aroma cascades nicely in the beginning then gradually peters out in the dry down. The smoky gourmand notes linger even at the base which makes the entire fragrance just as refined and elegant the first time you smell it.
Some perfume pundits have this notion that flankers are nothing but a ho-hum iteration of the parent- they simply lack creativity. Fragrance houses tend to tweak with the notes either to make the fragrance more potent or quiet down the formulation to a slightly paler version. Pure Malt is a well-executed fragrance and that is what makes it different from other flankers. Fragrance aged in oak barrel? That is how artistic Thierry Mugler is and that is just his fragrance line. His cosmic haute couture is another story.
On the whole, the boozy notes in A*Men Pure Malt make it very manly. Would Thierry Mugler explore the booze accords in the women’s fragrances and infuse it in say, Angel? It's something to look forward to.
A*Men Pure Malt is available in 100ml eau de toilette. More Thierry Mugler perfumes and colognes at discount perfume retailer, scentiments.com.
