For his first masculine fragrance in 1996, Thierry Mugler created A*Men, a distinctive and powerful virile scent. With A*Men, he boldly combined intensely contrasted ingredients – patchouli, coffee and vanilla – for a creation which marries elegance, sophistication and charisma. A*Men materialized as the masculine vision of a contemporary, timeless and futuristic hero. The fragrance conveys the conquering spirit, inner strength and love of challenge of a man who imagines himself as a victorious hero. A*Men expresses the stylish seduction of a demigod and the virile power of a body sculpted through action, the action of a determined man who commands through inner power and will to conquer. He knows no obstacles…
Over time, A*Men has told its story in singular chapters based on olfactory variations. Guided by its know-how as a creator of fragrances, the Thierry Mugler brand initiates unexpected encounters and cultivates its love of beautiful materials. It offers its charismatic hero real olfactory celebrations and new emotions: after exalting coffee in 2008 with A*Men Pure Coffee and paying tribute to fine spirits in 2009 with A*Men Pure Malt magnified in oak casks, A*Men Pure Havane highlighted the tobacco note in 2011.
Today, this olfactory saga comes full circle to the delight of those who love a fragrance with attitude;
the limited editions of A*Men Pure Malt and A*Men Pure Havane
have been re-edited as “permanent” masculine line creations.
In addition, a 2014 collector edition completes this exceptional selection with A*Men Pure Wood,
which puts the spotlight on the woody note.
Pure sensuality of a Woody Oriental scent
In a limited edition
Thierry Mugler showcases his expertise as a perfume creator. He offers his A*Men hero a way to draw strength and endurance, from the heart of nature, by being at one with the elements through an olfactory tribute to wood: raw, noble and virile. A*Men Pure Wood is an invitation to journey to the heart of the woody note, an elegant, yet rugged accent in men’s perfumes, boldly revisited for the occasion.
Proposed in a limited edition, this new fragrance reveals the sophistication and intensity of notes overdosed with cedar and cypress; they meld into the sensuality of the original A*Men fragrance trail, which is a seductive combination of patchouli, coffee and vanilla. This new, raw and untamed energy gives rise to a stylish, charismatic and daring fragrance.
A creation by perfumer Jacques Huclier for Givaudan.

2014 limited edition
Pure elegance in a woody, malty, peat-like fragrance
The original A*Men fragrance is tinged with refined accents and glows with fruity, slightly peat-like tones, thanks to the addition of a subtle pure malt note.
The maceration of the eau de toilette in oak casks adds structure to the woody tonality of A*Men and exacerbates its virility. The elegant fragrance is infused with breadth and rare nobility…like a fine spirit.
A creation signed by Jacques Huclier for Givaudan.
A virile bottle
With its streamlined fuselage inspired by a whiskey flask, the A*Men Pure Malt bottle is warmed by its skin-soft, sensual rubber sheath. The iconic star shines in the center, amber-colored like the fragrance.
