Decanted Sample of A*Men Pure Malt by Mugler

It’s all about the boozy barrel notes in this one. Smoky and vanilla, great one

This fragrance is incredible. It captures the woody, smoky, peaty, & malty notes you get from a good Scotch whiskey perfectly. If you took a glass with the dried sticky residue of a Scotch finished just the night before & then dropped a freshly split vanilla bean into that glass, the aroma would be similar to Pure Malt. The fruity opening was nice, but for me, it really begins to shine once that fades. Such an interesting & complex blend. This is definitely a cold weather wear. You might could get away with wearing it during hotter weather as long as you apply very lightly & mostly remain indoors. But it will excel in fall/winter. Performance was decent for me aswell. Got about 4 hours of strong projection & then about 4 more hours of a lighter, more intimate projection before turning into a nice skin scent as it fades. Easily one of the best quality designer fragrances out there in my opinion. It is such a shame that it's most likely been discontinued...
