A*Men Pure Malt

Mugler · Eau de Toilette (EDT) · 2009

≈ $90 · 100ml · approx. retail

A 2009 flanker of A*Men built around a boozy malt-and-whiskey accord layered with peat, coffee and patchouli over a sweet vanilla-amber base. A dark smoky-gourmand conceived as a homage to Scottish single-malt whisky.
