    Great review. This is definitely my favorite house.

      Those are my favorite two from the line as well. Such complexity but so simply done. Who would have though aged in Whiskey barrels would achieve these wonderful scents. If a man doesn't at least have one of these from this fragrance house they truly need to reevaluate their fragrance palate. I'm going to look into the Pure wood or Pure Coffee.

    I have been wearing A*men ever since it was launched in 1996. I receive compliments about it on a daily basis. Unfortunately the original formula has been changed a few years ago.
    Ice*men was my favorite summer substitute but no longer available in Europe.
    It didn't really care about the other fragrances as it they aren't at the same level as the original.

  • @Shak611

    A*Men is still my all time favorite (2017). I've got so many compliments when wearing this, without people knowing what i'm actually wearing. Thierry Mugler A*Men and Jean Paul Gaultier Ultra Male, is my allaround all year favorites.

    I went to buy Pure Malt today and, I kid you not, it turned out to be Pure Chili packaged (and sealed) in Pure Malt packaging. It was the last "Pure Malt" they had, which to me meant it's obviously popular, so the lady actually offered me a full tester bottle from the back. Totally against the rules, which makes my bottle of Pure Malt special to me :)

    Honestly I've sampled all of the amen flakers, the best one I've smelled so far is the original one released in 1996. None of the flankers can compare to that chocolate, tar ,caramel coffee and vanilla note in the original.

    I own two TM fragrances. A*Men (thank you Max & Fragnet) and Cologne. They're both great but neither one I wear too often. I want to get one of the Pure flankers. Can't yet decide between Malt and Havane. Sampling both.

    And excellent G, B, U, U & O video! My have all the ones you have listed (minus B-Men) and here is my take: (just my opinions, mind you)
    -Pure Shot gets a bad rap simply because it is not a typical A*Men fragrance. It's a solid Spring/Summer fragrance...somewhat underrated, just mainly disrespected.
    -Pure Havane deserves all the love it gets; nothing but good stuff.
    -Pure Cofee is one of the few coffee fragrances I own/love; mostly good but a tad underrated IMO
    -Taste of Fragrance is one that I really never grabbed my attention. It's okay and the reviews are actually quite favorable. I'm going with overrated (certainly not bad)...I wasn't impressed with this offering
    -Pure Malt also deserves all the love it receives; nothing but good stuff.
    -Pure Leather is what A*Men should have been IMO; hugely underrated IMO.
    -Pure Wood is an outstanding fragrance; it gets a lot of love, but it also gets bashed because it is not a typical in-your-face A*Men beast mode fragrances. Lots of good and also slightly underrated.
    -Mugler Cologne is a classic clean-soapy fragrance. It's great just by being so good.
    -B*Men...well, let me just say it...bad. Sorry!
    -A*Man...well, I wanna say bad (it certainliy generates its fair-share of negative reviews) but how can a fragrance be bad when it generated a billion dollar fragrance line? It's all good!

    I also get a similarity between Pure Shot and Ice Men, though I'm not a huge fan of either. I love Taste of Fragrance. I think that's probably the most underrated. I need to smell the new Pure Coffee and see if there is any difference, but I didn't care for it when I smelled it a couple of years ago. And, yeah, Pure Wood is a great new release. Love that stuff. :)

      Mikes World I understand your frustration Mikes World and I appreciate your comments and thoughts on this brand and releases... It's not for everyone, to each it's own, no matter how popular or hyped a fragrance is or maybe, it will NEVER workout for everyone or live up to everyone's expectations, that's why I always suggest a decant or sample before committing to a full bottle... Pure Malt is on the strong/pushy side of things and I can see some people finding it to be offensive, especially in the warm/hot weather climate...

I read all pure lines are only for winter then I said I have used stronge perfums( in summer or spring)that is suppose to be used only in winter. I sprayed Pure Leather on my hand. Man!!! My braind hurts and I felt so disgusting smell! I felt that I waste my money! I left the fucking bottle there for all summer wuthout using it, in fact I was do angry, I wanted to put in trash can. I give it a try by an autunm cool night, I just did half spray because this fucking thing is too bold and stronge. Surprise! It was not that disgusting rotting smell that I smell on my hand on summer with 33 degrees! But it was still very stronge shit! I still dont use it in winter because I am working in Hong Kong but I am from Chile so I left it in my house in Chile. I will try it next year in winter.

Only iceman, pure shot pure energy maybe for summer night or spring daylight. For summer high heat go for the clasico Bvlgari Aqva por homme it is veey msculine fresh elegant and even sexy beside last all day, another choice is Versace eu freich last all day long and in high heat, it develops a lot very cool fresh a woody in heart.
