As a older Mugler fanboy i really hope this brand can make a comeback. Mugler got me into fragrances and will always hold a special place in my heart.

[@blackcat6508]

Original formulation of Amen used to last literally weeks and was so complex, one of the most alluring scents but it started to get reformulated since 2009

❤ I rely on gents scents opinions on things and I specially love when he’ll say what fragrances he loves and why so it kind of gives you a idea of where he’s coming from so when you hear his analysis, you can relate to it

Many of us like a nice thorough, detailed rundown. Thanks, Ash. TikTok is calling for the complainers ✌️

[@bigbehr__]

Hopefully a men fantasm is just the start of new flakers in the line! Hopefully Mugler does a spring/summer release next, call it a men ultra zest elixir lol.

[@petermolina1317]

Yes and also kryptomint. Like a mojito,margarita or sangria vibe that will be amazing.

[@F4834N]

I just started collecting recently so I missed out on Mugler A*MEN line but I love that they revived the line with a new flanker. Its great that Mugler acknowledges the demand for the A*MEN line from the fragrance community. Kinda feels like were going back in time and its super cool. I hope it sells well so Mugler will give us more for the A*MEN line 👍

[@WasteFaced]

I haven’t even sprayed this yet and I can smell it throughout my basement as it sits in a sample bottle still inside the package it came in. I checked and it’s not leaking, just very strong

[@GoranAbraxas]

It's a great scent. Dry down is heavenly.

[@markpyro5271]

Excited for this even though I'm not a fan of chocolate fragrances..The AMEN line is/was truly the best of the best and the GODFATHER of masculine gourmand beast fragrances. I hope more releases follow & they offer something really unique and amazing.

[@proverbs279fragrances]

the actual review of Fantasm doesn't begin until 9:05...

[@flightgravity7483]

This was not made with fans of the original A*Men line in mind. This is sugary sweet modern perfumery at its worst or finest depending on your stance.

[@molecularentropy]

14:35 Ash flipping us off while talking about the possibility of a return of Mugler is peak fragrance content ❤

[@denvenom4011]

14:07 Tough, but fair. Many people who were not fond of perfumery or use another brand did not even have time to try: Havane, Malt, Zest, Cryptomint and others. Thanks for reviewing Ash👍😎❤️💯

[@adityaudhani4386]

How does this one compare to LMLP? I believe both are winter time fragrances with a sweet+spicy note breakdown. How do the two rank in your opinion?

[@Tank721]

Sounds like An Absolute BANGER! SO GLAD MUGLER A*MEN IS BACK! Can they have a one last go around and make a Green Fragrance Flanker for Alien Man 👾👽💚, I think the bottle would look perfect and the Scent woukd become a YUUUGE HIT!

[@shave-a-thon3415]

He's got to have a debate with Sebastian the Perfume Guy who said the performance wasn't up to par in his review.

[@Mondegreen121]

Great job, enjoyed the history. All those ingredients in the OG, how can it smell like Asphalt?

[@TheHispanicJukeBox]

This is one of the fragrances I am excited and looking forward to, like I said before I started my collecting after the amens started getting discontinued so I didn't get a chance to get any of the flankers but I at least have the OG that started it all and as soon as this one is available here in the US I'm going to grab it and my scent of the day is Paco rabanne pure xs

[@chicos2993]

Bought mine from eBay, it smells gorgeous and the performance is beast mode. Modern EDP take on the OG. Hope they continue spawning more of these

What’s up with the samples on the shelf back there? Something you’re working on?

[@Regilliwret]

What does it smell like, how does it perform, and maybe a quick view of the presentation. These videos are getting laughably long for no other reason than ads, and he’s not the only reviewer whose videos just keep getting more and more long winded. 15min video to cover the maybe 1-2min of details most people are going to care about.

[@joshuanarvaez8266]

Yah sound like whining babies. Having a channel about fragrances must be incredibly difficult. This market is so niche if you don’t like how he does his videos go watch someone else

[@umpus]

Been getting into fragrances lately & im new around here. Any advice on which of the mugler fragrances I should try? I wanted to try out pure malt but it’s out of my budget ): thanks!

[@bmorestance]

Those prices on their website are classicly awesome! However, sold out. Looking forward to trying!

[@Johnboy-of3vo]

Thanx for the heads up on this, the original A*men was a waste of money for me, fantasm doesn't sound much better imo.

[@MikePrezAI]

You can skip most of the video and just start at this point: 13:25 KZbin making creators do at least 8 minutes of video before they can get in-video ads makes these creators just talk to fill in time smh

[@mugheeshamid7273]

Hey Ash, The newer bottles with only mugler on it can be opened from the top if you pull the upper side of it. and the batch code is on the bottle inside. Just letting you know 👊

[@cplively]

Original AMen was one of the fragrances that I got because I wanted something different. Granted this was 15 years ago. I did not really like the opening when I first started wearing it, but then once it dries down it has a lot of gourmand aspects that I love. Eventually I came to love the opening as much or even more than the dry down. It’s to this day one of my favorite cold weather fragrances. This isn’t the only fragrance thats changed. I didn’t care for Fahrenheit the first few times I wore it. Encre Noir, Gucci by Gucci, The One EDT, are others that come to mind that grew on me the more I wore them. Certain notes or aspects grow on me and eventually I miss those notes and fragrances in general.
