Fragrance for men
Perfumer: Thierry Mugler
Original fragrance: 1996
The Taste of fragrance version: september 2011
Olfactory group: oriental, woody, vigorous
Thierry Mugler’s first men’s fragrance, A*Men features an elegant, timeless and still sophisticated wake. In 1996, the fragrance opened new doors in the universe of perfumery.
Like diving into the intimate heart of men, this “Oriental - Woody - Vigorous“ composition tells the story of a man who feels living within him is the victorious hero that he has always imagined himself to be.
Intense and vibrant, the fragrance oscillates between two contrasting dimensions: the “Oriental - Woody“ notes, with the patchouli and vanilla exuding strength and charisma, and the “Vigorous“ facet, with pure coffee for all the originality and character.
For the ‘Taste of Fragrance’ version, these masculinely warm scents are brought out in a concentrate of red pepper for amazing power.
Pierre Aulas, Olfactory Artistic Director for Thierry Mugler Parfums
The concentrate of red pepper is chosen as the taste enhancer. Incorporated into its original formula, it awakens the power of the roasted coffee and brings out the spicy notes to infl ame the wood. Mainly denoting the coffee, vanilla and patchouli, A*Men also features spices that are also found in Angel. The hot pepper sets fi re to and highlights the recipe bringing color to it.
Inspiration of Hélène Darroze, Grand Chef, Paris
Maybe a starter... It’s a complicated task.
We need a dish that is strong in taste but with a certain roundness. I would really like to bring out the coffee and spices to represent the warm aspect of A*Men. The other facet to highlight is the presentation. I would like to reflect the contrasts of the bottle through the brown of the coffee and the red of the pepper.
