Paul Smith Man vs A*Men

The community views Paul Smith Man (original green bottle) as a quality classic fragrance with a distinctive dry, green character that works well for professional and seasonal wear. While not extensively discussed in these posts, it's mentioned favorably as a comparable scent to discontinued fragrances like Creed Green Valley, indicating solid performance and versatility.

The A*Men line generates divided opinions, with the original formulation and Pure Havane flanker highly regarded, while recent releases like Stellar and Ultimate disappoint long-time fans. Community consensus indicates the line excels for evening wear in cooler seasons but struggles with versatility and summer compatibility, with notable quality decline in newer releases compared to vintage versions.
