This very distinct sweet fragrance is one of those you either love or hate. Based strongly on the ladies Angel; A*Men (Angel Men in the US) contains unusual notes of Chocolate, Coffee and Caramel. Most of the notes are "edible", so this would appeal to anyone with a sweet tooth. Funky bottle too, which is also available encased in black rubber, that is not only looks stylish but is ideal for travelling.

Latest Reviews of A*Men / Angel Men
I first came across this on the Algarve in 1998, Wow, what power, the sillage.! Jump forward to 2020 , lockdown, I got into fragrance big time, picked up a 30ml and looked forward to spraying this again. OMG ! Re formulated ,so so disappointed. Might try another just incase it was a "bad batch" but current bottle can't hold a candle to the original .
Notes of freshly-poured asphalt and steaming-hot Hershey's cocoa with a handful of melting marshmallows spilled on a leather sofa. My daughter, when she was a toddler, spilled all her cocoa on my leather upholstery while we were driving down a newly-poured highway and all of that blended together and I was like, hot damn, that smells just like A-Men. True story. I don't know why anyone would want to smell like this, but if you do, all the more power to you.

Thought it was too pungent and funky first time I sprayed it.Then I got used to it but way over did it on the sprays one day and choked myself out. Had to change my sweater.
I now have this baby dialed in and what a joy. My favorite gourmand by a long shot. Sooooo much going on here. Very complex and very well blended. Monster sillage.
Mostly chocolate, patchouli and musk for me. Some coffee and tonka and a bunch of other stuff simmering under the surface.
I recommend trying this before chasing the latest gourmand or spending a fortune on Dior Homme Parfum online. Lots to like here. A modern classic.
There have been reports that the reformulated version of this fragrance has toned down the tar and made it more appealing to the masses.Initially, I found this fragrance repulsive and couldn't stand the smell. However, after a year and a half, I gave it another chance and found myself loving it. It has a relatively unique scent. As many reviews have already covered this fragrance, I'll keep my review brief.
Unfortunately, the longevity of the fragrance is underwhelming, which may be due to reformulations. I can't recall the name, but Kilian has another fragrance that smells very similar to A Men. If I could afford it, I would choose that one instead.
Overall, I give this fragrance a thumbs up for its scent, but I cannot justify purchasing a full bottle due to its mediocre performance.
How are Angels like birds?The males are more sombre.
This feels like Angel self-censoring, scared to show exuberance or even bright colours.
