A*Men Pure Havane
A*Men Pure Havane by Mugler is a masculine-leaning eau de toilette from 2011 in the designer price tier. It opens with tobacco and honey, moves into cocoa and labdanum and dries down to patchouli, vanilla and amber. Expect around 12 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Tobacco Sweet, dried and honeyed. Nothing like a cigarette.
- Honey Sweet, waxy and slightly animalic. Can smell dirty in large doses.
Heart
- Cocoa Dry, dusty chocolate. Bitter rather than sweet.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
Dry-down
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
