What wearers say

“I'm in love with the fruity, boozy, sweet opening. It's one of my favorite openings of all time. It's a unique fragrance and my favorite of the A*Men line. But then the drydown, it smells like patchouli and a bit of the A*Men drydown. The drydown smells like a cardboard box in the rain.I keep a decant of this so I can smell the cap, and occasionally spray it on paper, though I don't wear this much.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“LOVE at first sniff! this is my type! woody fruity perfume never disappoints me.whiskey, fruity notes hits me hard yet calm at the top notes. the dry down become sexy.it is ok wearing on a hot day.i only HATE the PERFORMANCE.the projection is moderate to intimate. hate the longevity. really bad for this type of perfume. i have to spray extra, flooding my cloth, arms and my neck for the best projection and longevity i guess. like 6 to 8.but after all, i hope Mugler never discontinue this.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“overrated and overpriced, which isn't uncommon in fragcom. the opening is somewhat off putting with a blast of synthetic malt mixed with alcohol. definitely don't like the opening. the dry down is better but not amazing like many people say. it's ok. not a masculine fragrance. I'd say if you're looking for a mugler and you're not a collector then steer clear of this one and go for kryptomint.”

Longevity

Moderate

Sillage

The clone slightly reduces the oriental richness in favor of a drier leather-tobacco profile in the heart. Longevity is comparable, but sillage on Posh Malt is marginally less prominent in the opening 2 hours.

Longevity

Moderate

Sillage

The clone trades Pure Malt's sophisticated oriental dryness for a warmer, slightly sweeter base with vanilla prominence. Longevity and sillage are comparable, but the original's peat character feels more refined and austere compared to the clone's slightly more linear, crowd-pleasing approach.
