A Men

The modern formulation of this stuff has neutered it of most of it's former glory. The tar note in the opening that this is so well known for is almost completely gone. You get a very light touch of it for maybe 5 minutes, and then the sweetness starts fading and it fades fast. What used to easily be a 4 hour projecting, 14 plus hour skin-scent is now a shadow of it's former self. I get maybe a solid hour of one to two feet of projection that dies into a skin scent within 2 hours staying a skin-scent until somewhere around the 6 hour mark. This used to be a beast of an EDT, now it performs like a new, modern EDT. I will give it the benefit of respectable projection for the entire life of the fragrance but it's FAR from what it once was. What is so aggravating about it is you get just a hint of that awesome A*Men DNA that made it so popular but fades so fast you just keep wanting to respray. I am astounded people are complaining about the performance of Fantasm and Stellar which both make this stuff look like an eau de cologne. I think I'm going to try layering a spray of Stellar and two sprays of this stuff and that SHOULD be much closer to the original I've been craving lately. Grabbing a bottle of this stuff definitely shows me just how good the new releases really are even though almost everyone ran em into the ground.

I used to love it on my husband when he discovered it in early 2000s, but then I started stealing it from him and now it's my scent. I love it more than 'female' Angel; it's bolder and more adventurous. Almost 30 years after its release and it still smells like the future. Absolutely timeless. I get coffee, tobacco (although not listed as a note) and patchouli with some vanilla and caramel sweetness. I think that despite the name it's perfectly unisex. More suited for colder seasons, but I think it can be pulled off on a cooler summer day too, it's not cloying at all. A 10/10 fragrance. As for the performance.... It was nuclear years ago. Two sprays would last literally all day. Sadly, it must have been reformulated a few years back and now it's of moderate longevity. It's fine when you overspray (I do now).I will still buy it, always 💙

People say this about a lot of fragrances, but this one truly stands out from other designer fragrances, and I have no doubt it was groundbreaking upon release. I can smell the milk! When I first tried this in a different bottle with no label, I thought it was a bold women's fragrance. This could definitely be unisex, but don't be scared of this being too feminine. It's really out of this world. A*Men has a beautiful space-age syntheticness in the opening. It smells blue, but not in the way you think. The blue is an electrifying, futuristic gourmand blue. I have the new formulation. I wish it were stronger, but luckily, these sell affordably on Mercari, so I spray liberally. I usually stick to feminine/unisex, but this is the one cologne that I can never get over. Perfect for any age

I have great respect for every opinion, but I don't know why people did not consider the autumn option and the day option. I think the opening of the perfume is quite fresh. It gives way to other sweet notes later. Generally, after 1 hour, a fresh and sweet mixed perfume emerges, and this is great for winter and autumn. In my opinion, if you are having winters and autumns where the weather is not very cold, this perfume will be perfect for you. I think if you do not spray this perfume more than 5 sprays, it smells better. Among all my warm spicy perfumes, I follow this rule, otherwise I will suffocate every note in the perfume. It is noticeable and it is truly a masterpiece. I always get compliments whenever I apply it. If you can find it, it is a perfume that I highly recommend.

Well for starters I had this when it first came out in 1996 and I tell you back then they didn't hold back true power house for a Edt. The scent well at the time there was nothing else on the market and the smell was fantastic 👌. I just picked up a new reformulated bottle (2025) and when I first sprayed it onto my skin it slowly brought back memories of the original but in a more modern way not loud and cloying in your face type of of scent like the original but a more finely crafted scent to be wearing still strong and still has the dna with the same smell 😀. This is definitely worth picking up if you want to get away from the same boring scents in the market now (2026). 10/10 in my book back then and now today.
