[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Are you excited for Mugler Fantasm Fragrances? Please let me know, add a comment below. And please watch my: 💥💥💥 Rest In Peace Thierry Mugler Video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZXKf4RtqtVgmtE 💥💥💥

[@dukatimachiavelli813]

Yes please let us know when they are available in the u.s please 😢 🙏🏾

[@AP-ps7ke]

I agree with your comment about fragrances 30 some years ago being room fillers, sadly no more!

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Quite sad yes.

[@the-chameleon]

There's still Sauvage Elixir and Hacivat

[@OudRoseJunkie]

@@ThePerfumeGuywhy did the old edts perform 10 times more than the current parfums? Is it really because of the ingredients? How can we fight against the ingredients always being black listed? I mean la nuit delomme was my thing in 2012 and they crushed that one from ysl. Something hs to be done

[@OudRoseJunkie]

@@the-chameleonI just feel like they watered down the EDTs and made the parfums like the old EDTs to charge more. I want to sue. Smdh.

[@jeffrosenblum5053]

Very excited for the new A*men Fantasm.

[@carlanderson08]

Finally a new men's perfume by Mugler! I am very excited!

[@saaacredwaaater4730]

So excited for this launch. Mugler was one of the game changers so hopefully they will do the same now that they are launching Fantasm. Can't wait and great video Sebastian.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Thank you. Can't wait either.

[@balazs7235]

Haven’t been this excited for a fragrance in a while, in all honesty. Mugler as a brand it very close to my heart, the Thierry Mugler era shows from the earlier decades are so much fun and it was all so exciting. The brand as we now know it, is quite different, but has hints of the old era designs, especially with the H&M collaboration bringing back long gone TM pieces! They are definitely up to something new, they will definitely change direction - because they literally sold mainline pieces with the collaboration for a bit above H&M prices, that wouldn’t be sustainable unless they want to change. And this fragrance is another great sign. Thought to be long gone and the old A*Men had a resurrection. Exciting times for Mugler!

[@LoftOfTheUniverse]

L'oreal owns it now.

[@MitchLinville]

Been waiting for years and collecting and mourning the loss of the male line! This is great and exciting news! Possibly and hopefully this will be the new beginning of great things to come! Thank you Sebastian for the great news today!!!

[@LoftOfTheUniverse]

I wish so had that I bought pure zest. I had a sample and I couldn't stop smelling it. By that point it was discontinued.

[@jarridsteel6229]

By the time I got into fragrances, Pure Malt and Pure Havane were discontinued but I did manage to get 2 ml decants of both. I enjoyed them both individually but layered together they were next level. Absolutely amazing when layered.

[@dachucktaylor1]

Cannot wait for this new A Men scent! Thx for the alternatives. I need to get my nose on that Mercedez benz scent.

[@ninabond172]

Yes excited to try the new Angel

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Please keep us posted

[@michaeltemple6695]

A men looks really good definitely wish they bring them back would like to give them a try

[@noelmagtoto]

Top Favorites AND alternatives?! What a day! Thank you!

[@DudleyHamby]

I LOVE INSURRECTION II WILD. I just got it in the mail a few days ago and I love it. In my opinion it doesn't smell cheap. And I have some pricey fragrances. Also Fragrance World Star Men Nebula is a good clone of Pure Malt. At least in my opinion.

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great video and I enjoyed it I'm going to try it and I'm a big fan of this brand and have a blessed day

[@georgetito4820]

Angel for women original is a timeless fragrance, back in the day i was afraid to wear it as a man, but fell in love with it and bought it for several relatives and friends who were ladies just to smell it, now i am not afraid to pull it off as my nose has developed. Cant wait to try both, thanks for the headsup.

[@SmellsAddicted]

My best friend and I used to sip ouzo and chat while relaxing after a meal or just any time we wanted to take it easy and sip a liqueur. Ouzo was typically our digestif. Sadly, he passed away from cancer in 2010. I still have wonderful memories, and that licorice/anise smell reminds me of him.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I prefer Pastis as it's softer not as harsh but love love the taste and smell of anything anise, licorice, absinthe, wormwood. Great ingredient in the world. I have a great video here on the notes with Dalya: kzbin.info/www/bejne/anu9gaatas95oJI

[@JamesOswalt]

Reyanne Tradition has a new one that does zest. Can’t wait for the new stuff. And your right about them not putting out male fragrances

[@Yozik2]

I have few las ml pure havane from the bottle when they still called Thierry Mugler. what a masterpiece.

[@MrJakeup101]

Can’t wait to try Fantasm! Huge fan of Angel Men (before A-Men) and absolutely in love with B-Men!!!!!! I want B-Men back like crazy … wish I had saved some of my old bottles.

[@sammie5799]

Smelt the female version. Smells similar (not exact) to Angel Muse, beautiful ❤

[@basilfabian05]

2004 in snowy New York plus B*Men creating a nice scent bubble... That paints such a nostalgic and beautiful picture 👍

[@ginnyginiver]

Always excited for a new Mugler fragrance. Great video Sebastian. Always learning from you. My favorite men's A*Men is Ultra Zest but also really love Pure Tonka.

[@perzhu]

i really love a*men from mugler. i heard that original a*men is discounted. is it true???

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

It is still on the Mugler USA website which is what I heard they were going to do with it, not discontinued, but not selling at retailers except for the official brand website who knows it might end up at discounters but I was looking around. There’s none nothing out there at discounters.

[@BushidoBrown76]

I’m excited for this one and the New Spicebomb fragrance.

[@foxxzenetic]

Yes Yes Yes!!! A*men original was my signature scent for donky years and still one of my favourite. It was altimate beast mode fragrance back in days.. Not like past 10yrs batch. C'mon mugler!!!!!

[@rustyshackleford4801]

Cant wait, hope they do it justice

[@meganivanyos3232]

I regret not getting A Men fragrance. I did pick up Alien Man for my husband so he can match me.

[@tjvbham5831]

Victory for Sebastian!! Can't wait to get Fantasm.

[@ericlee419]

Man thats great!!

[@adox66]

On the Mugler sire here in Europe it’s showing €110 for 100ml and €80 for 50ml

[@ReignsDad71023]

What they should give us is an extrait version of Pure Havane and Pure Malt.

[@frelltonalves1813]

date launch ? thanks

[@cristianconstantin46]

I'm a fan of Mugler, and this line, i hope will come back others like Pure Havane or Pure Malt. This one, is not a whow, if i see the note, but i hope will be surprising

[@viggenone]

I'm glad for you Sebastian, believe it or not I haven't bought any AMan fragrances 😬 and most of my collections is from your recommendations, but for one thing or another I don't have any, I'll wait to hear your take on this one maybe it will be my first one. Thanks for the video Sebastian!!!

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

You're welcome. Will certainly keep everyone posted once I get bottles of both! :)

[@the-chameleon]

I'm largely against clones but with how expensive pure malt is now, I highly recommend Fragrance World's Posh Malt. It's identical, but pumps off of the skin too.

[@CathyVaughn-ph3lr]

I smelled Alien Godess today in Macys and it is pretty but not sure I would buy it. Still thinking:)

[@richuncle9689]

What is the performance like for Neon Orange?

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Moderate. Not beast actually. But smelling similar.

[@jasvirsandhu1158]

Great News Sebastian. They listened to your recommendations 😃 I hope it’s going to be a good one 🤞 I miss the OG Havane

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Finally huh? EDP for men from Mugler. Dream come true!! LOL! ;)

[@Sampleador]

That line is so great Sebastian did not include Pure Tonka and Pure coffee

[@xanderpromeo]

Never got my nose on the coffee. I want.

[@mariavankley423]

I can't wait to get my nose on the new scents!! I miss the "punch you in the face" days

[@carlito7863]

I can't wait to try it!

[@pamelabrown8467]

Thanks for sharing 😇

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

My pleasure 😊

[@AbdilahiaAhmed]

How much sir

[@consciouscreator2526]

I used Amen for almost 30 years until they changed the formula. The scent is so weak now. Hopefully the new one is exciting

[@sandromateush9650]

Wow! We are so back! 🔥 Finally! Finger crossed🤞😮‍💨🤞

[@Mojo8]

Thanks for another great review & video Sebastian, I really love & own Pure Havane. I also love your alternatives, I have the FOMO & Neon Orange but it doesn't have the longevity of say Smokey Plum ( which is a beast ) for TF Plum Japonais which I own & love as well. Anything you can suggest to pump up the Neon Orange ? Cheers Brutha😎

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

My Neon Orange got stronger from when I first was testing and wearing to recently. In fact smells a bit better too!!

[@colinrenfrew48]

Been waiting for this…..thanks!

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

You bet!

[@Tatiperez78]

how exciting!!!

[@cortneyperfume_madness480]

Definitely want to smell these❤

[@DanJD1255]

Hey Sebastian, here’s my review of Angel Fantasm ‘for women’ taken from Fragrantica. I have a bottle of the Female targeted release and here’s my thoughts! Just waiting on the arrival of A*Men Fantasm now. I can’t believe I’m about to type this so get ready… FINALLY, an Angel that actually has a lot in common with the OG! That ‘Mugler’ Patchouli is back, that ‘Mugler’ punch in the nose is back! Surprised to say that I only get a touch of coconut when I spray this, definitely a good thing! This is what Angel Elixir should have been. I can definitely tell that this shares similarities with the OG Angel. I do believe that L’Oréal has listened to us die hard Mugler fans! The longevity is so much better than Angel Elixir too. Angel Fantasm will surprise a lot of people so I would definitely recommend you give it a chance. 💫 To summarise, this to me is a ‘sweeter’ take on the OG Angel, it has that unmistakable Mugler Patchouli running through it from top to base with a touch of coconut. It even leaves a ‘sheen’ after spraying, unlike Elixir 😂

[@bebright123]

I wonder how close this new women’s version will be to the tropical Angel Iced Star? It also has pineapple, coconut, vanilla, patchouli. Discontinued so I wonder if they just repackaged it in this new one?

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Sadly, that Flinker I haven’t tried so I can’t comment. This has grown on me since shooting of the video, but my only complaint is it doesn’t project too much a little better than the men’s Fantasm .

[@TygreKitty]

Fragrantica has that it has chocolate in the mid and patchouli in the base. 🤞🤞C'mon Please Pleeease be an old school style flanker!!

[@storkonstage]

I wonder if you smelled Zara Orange Zest? That's a more musky variété on Ultra Zest. Not as good, but a very nice frag that I bought for 9 euros. Greetz from Holland.

[@cardinalles07]

Im super excited for the new Angel Fantasm flanker. I have the original Angel and its one of my favourites. Btw, have you seen that Cirque Du Soleil came out with a perfume? I just saw a post on instagram and it came out earlier this month, very curious about that because they didnt post the fragrance notes. Would love to know your thoughts on it ❤

[@shamusteakiawa]

I cant wait! Last mugler fragrance i bought was tonka Edit: actually it was ultimate, and I agree, I also didn't like it.

[@jimr880]

Thanks! I appreciate the heads-up on this one, but my zest for the A*Men lineup is pretty much zero after their taking a hiatus the past 5-years since their last release (not to mention the passing of Thierry Mugler), coupled with the fact I wasn't thrilled about the last 2-3 releases. As for Fantasm...I'm sensing it's basically the original A*Men, minus that bombastic tar note, replaced with medium strength chocolate accord...which is one of my least favorite notes in perfumer. Of course, I'll have to sample it while I'm out-and-about...but not really energizes about this one nor is it a blind-buy. Cheers.

[@maximilianrobot]

Prices are listed in EUR on their French web store. 100ml is 110€, which is about $120 USD. Not all the bad for EdP concentration in 2024. Considering how the prices for most other modern designers has gone. And I mean… Angel EdP is STILL over $150 for 100ml

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

EXCELLENT!

[@cowboycrunchies]

Great discussion Sebastian but I have reservations. The brand is still owned by L’Oréal, so everyone, don’t hold your breath!

[@SmellsAddicted]

🤢

[@JT-rx1eo]

Yes Christine Nagel did Hermès Eau de Rhubarb. I have and like B*Men. And I like rhubarb as a note. But I wouldn't put B*Men first. Once I get a hold of Pure Wood, I suspect that might displace B*Men on my top 5 list. And I actually consider B*Men a flanker in the A*Men line. Just with a funny name. It smells like it. ScentualObsessions has a good clone of Ultra Zest. I have Animale Animale as my A*Men substitute.

[@999triple4]

What yours options on the edt a*men thinking of copping it I’m 18 and have colognes like Dior sauvage elixir, givenchy gentleman etc

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

It's not as modern and also it's not as potent as it used to be. That thing would last for 2 days but I like the smell still! :)

[@999triple4]

@@ThePerfumeGuythank you sir

[@knics33]

I agree that Angel Elixir was a dud. I was very disappointed with that release. Very excited for these two. Hoping L’Oréal will redeem themselves… we shall see.

[@patrickrortvedt5912]

Is it still worth it to buy the current A*Men? It sounds like something I would really enjoy.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

As I mentioned in the video, it’s gotten lighter. Try it maybe you like it. Also look at the alternative I spoke about. 😀

[@totalbliss1]

I'm a huge fan of the Mugler A*Men line. In fact, I have 3 bottles of the Pure Havane, 2 bottles of the Pure Malt and 1 bottle of the Pure Tonka and 1 A*Men. Surprisingly, Pure Tonka is pricier than the others and Ultra Zest is an unreasonable asking price. I've found that of the Pure Malt and Pure Havane, the original formulation before they changed the bottom signature of the designer to the all caps mugler is more potent and better. Not saying the other one is bad in anyway but there is a noticeable difference. It's heavenly how it develops and radiates from your skin. I've never smelled the Ultra Zest but I did get Dua's Zest which is a clone of that and that smells really good and what I would imagine Ultra Zest smells like with the A*Men DNA in it. Went by some of the good reviews it had. This line never gets old for me and I'm surprised that such a classy fragrance was quite affordable at the time. It really was a masterpiece and I presume that after Mugler sold his eponymous fashion house and subsequently left the company in 2002, it wasn't ever the same. He left an indelible mark in the fragrance community and definitely in fashion.

[@SmellsAddicted]

Sebastian, are you hoping for an improved atomizer, or do you want it to be the same for nostalgia purposes?

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Both Amen and Alien Man atomizers sucked, so I’m hoping it’s improved, but I doubt it.

[@SmellsAddicted]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@omarmacias9091]

Im soooo nervious about this lol cant waaaaait

[@samueloguet7721]

For the price, it is 80€ for 50ml and 110€ for 100ml. (In France) For the ladies it is 85€ for 25ml, 120€ for 50ml, 170€ for 100ml, 145€ for the 100ml refill

[@tsbehr]

Bring back Pure Tonka & Ultra Zest next, as a gesture of good faith - so we know they’re for real ;-)

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Yes in EDP!!

[@the-chameleon]

Le Male Elixir smells a lot like Pure Tonka to me

[@justaddlight]

I year or two ago, if it turns out to be just another elixir-style woody amber, I think I would've thrown a hissy fit. 😂 Now I'm just glad to see another star-adorned bottle. Interestingly enough, the note listed in the mid is clary sage, but in the press photo, the leaves are clearly of the common officinalis variety. Anyone else? 🤔 Ps, great alternatives Sebastian!

[@funeka691]

I've never gotten into this brand.

[@gourmandyandy]

I heard from ppl that smelled both fantasm that they are close to originals so we should be more than happy ❤

[@the-chameleon]

What do you mean? The originals are still available for purchase, so that's a fail if so.

[@gourmandyandy]

@@the-chameleon😅 what do you mean by saying that it’s a fail then?

[@the-chameleon]

@@gourmandyandy because what's the purpose of a flanker that smells like the original?

Looks like a blue amen.

[@joaovitorgleite]

here in Brazil, Mugler fragrances coast a lot. I mean, almost 1k reais

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

OMG

[@pabcast2175]

Any new A men flanker is welcome

[@dirfrops]

Notes make me think it will be a reimagined version of the original. With a probably trash atomizer as always. Holding my breath.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Yeah the sprayer sucks but once you remove the rubber flask it's not a bad sprayer.

[@markpyro5271]

The Amen line is what started it all for me and many others in becoming a collector..I got into it when I was a teenager and I still remember this woman worker in ULTA chasing me down and saying she loves the Angel Man fragrance. My absolute favorites will always be Pure Havane and Pure Malt..There are no tobacco/boozy fragrances out there that come close to them. They are magic in a bottle. I also really like Ultra Zest..After years of wanting one, I finally was able to get one and thought that would be the end of fragrance buying for me in the near future, Because all these new releases for Men are so freakin mediocre and then out of the blue news comes out about a new AMEN flanker?!?! I CANNOT WAIT! I just hope for a miracle that they do it justice and it can stand next to the other flankers in the series.

[@masacrador1]

Hi. Actually, B*men juice is transparent, not red. If you open the flask you will be able to see that the crystal in the inside bottle is completely red.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I made the mistake and said juice but was referring to the star being red and potentially featuring rhubarb as they are both red! I know the juice color is transparent as I've gone through probably 6 or 7 bottles since 2004! :)

[@AndreMonz]

All A*Men fragrances have been reformulated to death until they got discontinued. The fragcom will be better off getting over that brand and any other on the L'Oréal conglomerate.

[@whyc2094]

I like the original and pure malt. The others were too weak.

[@Molko]

Weak? No way, Havane, Tonka, Taste of fragrance, Bmen, Pure Leather was super strong and long lasting.

[@tomfoil5590]

This will be a blind buy for me, for sure.

How very delicate male fragility is when you cannot have Angel in the name of the perfume, you gotta change it to ‘A’ 😂

[@joecool9739]

Or maybe you can put aside your eternally offended cancel-culture mentality and understand that this line has always been called "A* Men" Most likely to avoid confusion and distinguish it from the original Angel fragrance that happened to be *FOR WOMEN* and was highly popular Also the creator of A* Men (Thierry Mugler) was a gay bodybuilder...doesnt sound like "fragile masculinity" to me

[@SmellsAddicted]

It's actually ingenious because the word "Amen" is a spiritual word.

[@the-chameleon]

I mean, Thierry Mugler was a gay man and that was his decision, so I don't understand your point.

[@saamsadeghi]

That’s so stupid to change the name to A. The last time I checked it was always called Angel Men but of course stupid politics ruin everything.
