Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - A*Men Pure Malt
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 - Legume For Men
A faithful, slightly sweeter take on Mugler's discontinued A*Men Pure Malt. Legume nails the boozy malt-and-whisky core over coffee and dark patchouli, with an extra sugary lift the community actually prefers; just expect a flatter, shorter dry-down than the cult original.

Season and Occasion Fit

A*Men Pure Malt

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and distinct boozy-fruity character make it ideal for dates and formal evening events. While some find it versatile enough for casual wear, its richness makes it less suitable for the office or active use.

Legume For Men

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

The boozy malt-and-coffee gourmand warmth reads best in cold weather; it would feel cloying in summer heat.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Sweet and intimate enough for date nights and cozy casual wear, but its loud gourmand character is wrong for the office or sport.
