To be, or not to be....
Describing B*Men is very brief:
The top note for me is like a shopping trip in the fruit section. I perceive an indefinable citrus freshness that disappears after just about a minute. I walk straight through the fruit section to the spice shelf. In my nose, B*Men quickly turns into A*Men
After the spice shelf, I urgently need to buy chocolate...
What I really perceive from B*Men are the classic A*Men components: honey, jasmine, coffee, lily of the valley, patchouli, tar, cedar, amber, benzoin, caramel, musk, chocolate, tonka bean, vanilla...
And now here it comes: I find A*Men truly exceptionally great, so how could I not like B*Men. A milestone in fragrance history...
(Anyone who doesn't know A*Men yet should test B*Men first as a "gateway drug," since the minimally fruity opening provides a little grace period until the typical A*Men scent overwhelms you)

I tested B*Men a few years ago, and in my opinion, it didn't smell at all like A*Men. To me, it smelled like an old man, a bit spicy and like vetiver. But that was quite a while ago ;)

You should try Hypnose Homme by Lancome. I found it smells very, very similar.
