What does A*Men Pure Malt smell like?

The scent reads as a whole: whisky, malt and coffee absolute give it a sweet, gourmand start, while peat and patchouli pull it towards an earthy, smoky tone. Cedarwood and woods lay down a dry, woody base, and musk softens the edges. The fruity and spicy accords stay in the background.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with evenings and nights out leading the occasions and business wear chosen least. It reads clearly masculine. Nicolaï Caravansérail Intense and Slumberhouse Kiste have a close profile.
