A*Men Pure Malt: Scotch Whisky And Fragrance Do Mix

A*Men Pure Malt is the most recent interpretation of Thierry Mugler’s A*Men. Pure Malt was inspired by the Scottish peaty whisky which is redolent of sensual woody accents thus creating an exciting malt experience, gourmand style. Aged in oak barrel, this limited edition variant of A*Men is a cocktail of luxury spirits with a distinct boozy note that balances the food-y notes of the fragrance.

Pure Malt smells a lot like A*Men Pure Coffee (2008) sans the coffee, of course. It is rather a paled version of A*Men but the gourmand character is still noticeably pronounced. The top notes are suggestive of booze then transitions into toffee-malt sweetness. The dry down smells warm with just a dollop of patchouli paired with bits of vanilla and musk. Pure Malt is rather tamed in terms of potency. The creaminess emanating from the combination of woods and malt whisky come across as plesant devoid of the candied sweetness. Sillage, on the one hand, is rather short-lived as compared with the previous variants. Longevity is so-so as Pure Malt is paler version of A*Men. The boozy-caramel aroma wafts nicely in the beginning then slowly exits in the dry down. The smoky gourmand notes linger even at the base which makes the entire fragrance just as refined and elegant the first time you smell it.

Some perfumistas surmise that flankers lack creativity - they're boring and too generic. Fragrance houses tinker with the notes to make it more intense or tone down the formulation and pass it on as an EDT. Pure Malt is a flanker indeed but what makes it different from the regular flankers is that it is nicely done. Fragrance aged in oak barrel? That is how creative Thierry Mugler is and that is just his fragrance collection. His out of this world fashion design is another story.

The boozy notes in A*Men Pure Malt, on the overall, permeate a very masculine aroma. Would Thierry Mugler explore the booze accords in the women’s fragrances and infuse it in say, Angel? It's something to look forward to.

A*Men Pure Malt is available in 100ml eau de toilette. More Thierry Mugler perfumes and colognes at discount perfume retailer, scentiments.com.

Windys vs. McDonalds coffee?

who came up with the coffee idea first and who's taste better. my sister and I cant leave windys with out one of those awesome 'frosty chinos' or the 'coffee toffee' but we went to Mcdonalds thinking it'll taste the same but it horrible. what do you guys think?

Well actually their different. Mcdonalds has like ice coffe nd and stuff like that. Wendys coffe is more like a milkshake. Personally I like coffe Toffe twisted Frostees. They are really good. I havent tasted the cofe chinos yet but I want too. So I guess I really do prefer wendys.
