Which Should You Buy?
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.
This is a seriously under-celebrated gem from Xerjoff, offering a refined and sophisticated amber-vanilla experience. While some find it leans feminine, especially in the opening, its creamy, well-blended character makes it undeniably elegant and a proper hidden treasure.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
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.
