MUGLER A*MEN EDT
The Story
A*Men is the masculine counterpart to Angel, launched in 1996 as one of the first gourmand fragrances for men. Housed in its iconic rubber-covered flask, this fragrance dared to combine lavender, coffee, and chocolate with tar and patchouli at a time when men's fragrances were overwhelmingly fresh and aquatic. The result was revolutionary and divisive in equal measure, creating a completely new olfactory category. Nearly three decades later, A*Men remains a benchmark for boldness in masculine perfumery.
