Mugler A*Men Ultimate is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2019, created by Jacques Huclier. A*Men Ultimate opens with Bergamot, settles into a heart of Cedar and Canadian Fir Balsam, and dries down to a base of Coffee. Mugler's A*Men Ultimate carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This flanker is a true Mugler enigma - a 'love-it-or-hate-it' affair that splits the A*Men faithful right down the middle. Some call it an underrated masterpiece, a fresh take on the original; others dismiss it as generic and watered-down. If you're after 'Ultimate' impact, temper your expectations.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a zesty burst of fresh bergamot, quickly softening into a creamy, almost milky coffee note that reviewers describe as cappuccino or mocha. A distinctive resinous fir and woody cedar undertone provides an aromatic, slightly sweet contrast to the gourmand warmth. The dry-down is often noted as a light, clean, and subtly sweet skin scent.
