Altamir vs A*Men Pure Havane

The community views the new Gaultier2 as a decent fragrance in its own right, with solid performance and compliment-worthy qualities, but acknowledges it's a noticeably softer, more diluted version of the original. While some defend it as worthwhile at retail price, others criticize it as a mediocre reformulation that doesn't live up to the legacy of the classic.

The r/fragrance community sees Pure Havane as a more versatile and wearable alternative to the overhyped Pure Malt, with a pleasant drydown and good compliment-generating potential. However, concerns about recent reformulation affecting longevity and weak sillage are common complaints that detract from its overall appeal.
