Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - A Gloaming Night EDP
An atmospheric, dusky woody-spicy perfume that wraps you in dry, elegant patchouli and vetiver, with a cinnamon glow. Brooding yet refined, it's standout for fall evenings and formal occasions.
Favourite
Our Verdict - B*Men EDP
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.

Season and Occasion Fit

A Gloaming Night

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

The warm, spicy-woody and earthy profile anchored by patchouli and cinnamon makes this a perfect fit for cooler temperatures in fall and winter, while its dryness and refined aromatic edge allow it to transition nicely into early spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its moderate projection and elegant woody-spicy composition make it ideal for formal settings, special evenings, and intimate occasions, but it is less appropriate for sports or highly casual, energetic settings.

B*Men

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.
