Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - A*Men Pure Malt Eau de Parfum
A legendary boozy-fruity masterpiece, Pure Malt is mourned by many since its discontinuation, but loved dearly by those lucky enough to still own a bottle. It's a divisive scent, though, with its unique maltiness not for everyone.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Star Men Nebula Eau de Parfum
A divisive, boozy beast that matures from a harsh opening into a surprisingly refined scent. While some find it lacking in depth and longevity, many adore its uncanny resemblance to a discontinued classic, making it a budget-friendly delight for those who appreciate a good malt.
