Review: Thierry Mugler Angel Men Pure Malt

I promised a review on Chanel Allure Homme Sport, but im not done with it yet, still some areas to explore on that. But i have something that i've been working on for a long time and today, i will be reviewing the infamous Pure Malt by Thierry Mugler fragrance house.

*Very nice box with a classy look and gold printings

*Back view of the box.Gotta have that gold star!

Okay then, on to the fragrance; this is actually a limited edition flanker to the original Angel Men or A*Men. What they did with this was they actually put the original A*Men into oak casks used to age Whiskey (Yes, u got it right, Whiskey oak casks where the liquor is left to age into perfection for a period of time before entering the tummy of the filthy rich drunkards)

And it resulted in this very sophisticated, dark and rich version of A*Men. Right off the bat, this scent smells like a mix of wild berries and whiskey poured all over the wild berries. First thing's first when i say whiskey, i dont mean the smell of alcohol (coz alcohol smells bad). When i say whiskey, it means the flavor of the whiskey which makes whiskey tastes like whiskey (hope u get the gist of it). The opening very much smells boozy, with the cherries and a little bit of caramel which normally lasts for around 30 minutes to 1 hour.

When it gets to the dry down, this is where it shines. The dry down is absolutely fascinating with chocolate, caramel, patchouli and whiskey notes (i do get a lil bit of coffee sometimes). It smells very sweet, dark and i must say very very sophisticated. If there's one word i'd say for the dry down, it's SEXY. I don't know if many girls would love the sweet dry down, but if they do, this will definitely work for them. For me, i think the dry down is great and when i first smelled it, i went like this:


*The chocolate and caramel is just very natural and very well balanced. I can smell it all day and not get sick of it coz it's does not smell synthetic and cheap

U don't get a lot of people using this scent, so u have a lower chance of smelling like someone's ex bf (which is not good if u set ur eyes on some hot chick and ended up smelling like her loser ex bf). Events?This shit is a winter fragrance, so i would recommend using it at night where it's not so hot and humid out there. It's good for a night out, club, beach, pubs, casual meetings, prom, dates and when u just go for a walk and cuddling session at the park with your girl. It might sound very versatile, but this thing is a BOMB! So please go light on the trigger (that is, if u can still find a bottle of this coz the stock is dwindling, hehehehehehehehe...it sells for around 150-200USD at ebay now). I would say 2 sprays at most at the torso and one on each arm when u're outside. When u're indoors, only resort to 2 sprays on the torso. You DONT wanna cloy everybody in the room and having people thinking like:
'WTF is this dimwit wearing!he's cloying me to death smelling like he just dipped his ass into a caramel chocolate pond'

Girls do compliment on it though, but again, don't over-spray coz too much of a good thing can be bad. =D

If u're confident that the chicks around u love smelling caramel and chocolate (which chick don't?unless she used to be a dude).

So let's just take a final look at it before moving on to the ratings:



Scent: 9/10
Projection: 10/10 (this is a BOMB!it leaps out and catches attention very much, especially in warm places)
Longevity: 10/10 (i get at least 10 hours with this monster)
Versatility: 6/10 (u don't get to wear this everywhere coz of the strong projection)
Overall Smell: 10/10 (absolutely unique scent, very special and attractive)

oops, i'm going 2 proceed with serious work now. Thanks for reading and do come back for more. Do give comments and feel free to ask me if there's anything u need to know.

Peace
