Created by Jacques Huclier
A*Men by Mugler is a Oriental Woody fragrance for men. A*Men was launched in 1996. The nose behind this fragrance is Jacques Huclier. Top notes are Lavender, Mint, Fruity and Spicy Notes, Coriander, Green Notes and Bergamot; middle notes are Caramel, Patchouli, Honey, Milk, Cedar, Jasmine and Lily-of-the-Valley; base notes are Coffee, Patchouli, Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Benzoin, Amber, Sandalwood and Musk. Elegant and masculine woodsy note of patchouli and Atlas cedar develops after the metal accord of mint and lavender. At the end, the intensive woodsy composition turns into an explosive energy of coffee and stirax in the warm musk and Tonka surrounding. The bottle was designed by Thierry Mugler himself, and there are two variances – a shiny metal one and rubbery black. The fragrance was launched in 1996.

/ 10 community score
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.
Strengths
- Original A*Men formulation has strong silage and longevity
- Pure Havane is versatile and receives consistent praise for complexity
- Kryptomint offers unique mint-chocolate character reminiscent of Andes Mints
- Brand responsive to customer inquiries and sample requests
Weaknesses
- Recent flankers (Stellar, Ultimate) perceived as weak, generic, and underwhelming compared to original
- Pure Malt is overhyped, too linear, and lacks versatility for daily wear
- Overall A*Men line DNA not suitable for warm weather or daytime wear
- Quality concerns with newer releases compared to vintage formulations
