Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - A*Men Pure Coffee EDT
Don't let the name fool you - Pure Coffee is more of an A*Men 'light' than a straight-up coffee bomb. Fans of the original will appreciate the toned-down tar, but those chasing an authentic coffee fix might be left wanting. It's a divisive one, beloved for its smoothness and wearability by some, while others find it lacking in coffee and longevity.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Roasted Beans EDP
A budget take on Mugler A*Men Pure Coffee. The dark roasted-coffee opening over chocolatey patchouli, cedar and sweet caramel captures the original's coffee-in-a-forest character, though the dupe wears flatter and skin-closer - the rich depth and all-day longevity are softened.

Season and Occasion Fit

A*Men Pure Coffee

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its moderate projection and longevity make it suitable for less formal office environments, as it won't overpower. The warm, inviting accords and sensual undertones are perfect for dates, while its relaxed nature also suits casual wear. It’s a bit too rich for formal events and definitely not for sport.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal
