Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - B*Men Eau de Parfum

A truly unique Mugler creation, B*Men is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, a spicy, woody, licorice bomb that leaves no one indifferent. It's divisive, but for those who get it, it's a discontinued masterpiece that collectors are desperate to hunt down.

Our Verdict - 21 Eau de Parfum

This one is a divisive, quirky sort, not really a crowd-pleaser for everyone but those who love it, really love it. If you're after something a bit different from your usual amber, this milky, woody spicebomb could be your next signature.

Season and Occasion Fit

B*Men Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Given its strong personality and the polarizing licorice note in the opening, B*Men isn't ideal for a restrained office environment, though some find it versatile. It shines on dates and formal occasions, particularly in cooler weather, where its warm, unique character can make a statement. Casual wear is possible, especially in less structured settings, but it's certainly not a gym scent.

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Its moderate sillage and very long-lasting nature make it a strong contender for date nights, where its unique, sensual aroma can truly shine. While it leans towards being less ideal for office wear due to its warmth and complexity, some find it adaptable with light application. It strikes a good balance for casual outings, especially during colder months.
