After hearing the truly massive amount of mixed reviews on the topic from those who would argue it is the greatest ever to those who hate it with a passion I decided I would try it today, sadly on my skin the scent was truly horrible although if I did like it longevity and projection were good. To me all the elements were coarse, harsh and frankly gave me a headache as the incredibly overpowering combination of burnt coffee and chocolate burned into my nostrils. For me the smell did not develop beyond this until now seven hours later I can only smell a synthetic vanilla with a hint of the burnt coffee. This I find greatly disappointing as I thought the idea was interesting although smelling like food was something that I was not completely sold on.

my brother loves A*Men. I’ve always wanted an excuse to buy this so I’m getting him it for Christmas A*Men intrigues me.

Wow, if only A*Men inspired such strong reactions in me! I find it the less interesting of the Angel sibs – slightly drier, more powdery, more caffeinated, but less intense and ballsy. It’s like Angel sobered up and on her third macchiato while she tries to keep down last night’s Berry Cosmos. It’s not a bad scent, but given Angel’s unisexiness (to my nose) it seems a bit pointless. I do prefer it to its more cloying “gourmale” spawn like Black XS (melted Startburst candies in lemonade) or 1 Million (Death by Nuclear Berries). Compared to those, A*Men seems almost sophisticated.

I was in Debenhams today. and after reading this review I thought I’d give A*Men a try, just to see what it’s like.

I don’t think it’s ugly really at all. but it’s not exactly a creamy caramel sundae with sweets and sparklers.

but what I could smell in this that I couldn’t detect in Angel, is chocolate. I could only smell two things in Angel, the sparkly tingling top note that gave me a headache, and the creamy flowing body that was every note in Angel mixed together to make me indicate just one smell.

but with A*Men there is all kinds of things going on, it intrigued me. I didn’t like it at first but after it developed properly on the skin, it grew on me. and like Angel this stuff is STRONG, it’s the strongest mens fragrance I’ve smelled.

but yeah it does smell like day old mocha. it’s quite pleasant though :/ there are uglier fragrances out there like Diore Homme (I love Dior homme sport, but original Dior homme disgusts me).

I think this is a love it or hate it scent, and I think I love it :/

I was suprised at how I like this stuff, and if I ever wanted to smell like Angel, I’d go and buy A*Men the only thing I don’t like about it is the bottle :/

I simply love this fragrance. I find it suitable for a woman to wear as well. I also like it a tad better than Angel for women

OMG when I smelled this on paper I thought I might like it better than regular Angel, which I like okay (more than I thought I would).
I got a sample the other day and put just a dab on and thought I would die. It was like some sort of exotic animal or alien dung or something. I gave it a very long 10 minutes. Scrub, with a BRUSH. Holy Christ.

I seriously have amnesia. The lady at Macy*s asked me if I had ever tried A*Men before, and I told her yes. But she gave me couple sample vials anyway. WELL, I just now haphazardly sprayed some on, and realized, never in my life have I smelled this. It makes my head spin. I'm barely 10 minutes in, and it reminds me of the place where I get my oil changed. Cheap, burnt coffee, paper and ink, cheap soap, OIL, metal, and heaven knows what else.
Dear god.
God.
As much as I hated B*Men (I know I smelled that one), I am surprised I dislike this one that much more.

At the first time I have smelled this one I thought: AW what is that? It is terrible.

But now I love it. It smells like dark chocolate, patchouli and caramell. And the lasting power is amazing!

One of the best perfumes for men I have ever smelled.
