A*Men is great, but A*Men Pure Malt is a notch better
I like the scent,
The top note is great, I don’t really smell any bergamot or mint, but the rest blends well into a sweet mixture that, in my opinion, you can't identify what's in it if you don't know what's there.
However, the highlight of this fragrance is not the top note but the drydown.
From the sweetness at the beginning, which cannot be precisely defined, it slowly transforms, in a process where each step is a class of its own, into a woody sweet blend that clearly contains some caramel, nougat, and chocolate. I recommend everyone to definitely test it on the skin; in my eyes, you cannot describe the overwhelming drydown, which is only so good in a few perfumes.
Although it is just an EdT, the longevity and scent strength are excellent, so be careful when testing-better to use just 1/2 spray than a full one.
Conclusion: A super gourmand fragrance that is unique, but also polarizing.
Tip: Definitely test the Pure Malt edition! Personally, I find it a notch better as the whiskey in the top note makes it one of the best scents I have ever smelled and enriches the drydown by another nuance.
