REVIEWS

Fragrantica - I`ve been waiting so long for a new fragrance from Mugler. The whole A*Men line was great so couldn`t wait to try this one. Mugler didn`t disappoint. The new Fantasm is very nice. It has a little bit from pure havane, pure tonka and a bit from the original one. The A*Men line is known for a good performance and Fantasm isn`t an ecxeption.

Fragrantica - This is amazing. Definitely the amen DNA, defintley get a tad bit of pure tonka, with the chocolate from cyrptomint. I love it.

Fragrantica - I'm a patchouli lover, and I get that thick and creamy gourmand type of sensation with this fragrance, for sure. But it's not as strong and projecting as other fragrances, like a Tom Ford's Black Orchid or Noir Extreme. I could see myself wearing this to the office, not needing to worry about choking my colleagues out.

Fragrantica - the Mugler A*Men DNA clearly discernible right after initial application. I personally absolutely love this stuff, but I have always quite enjoyed very heavy, thick, sweet and spicy winter fragrances. This definitely has a little hint of Victory Elixir crossed with Scandal/Scandal Le Parfum, and a little 1 Million Elixir thrown in the mix as well. Outstanding longevity, superb projection and sillage that lasts long after you have left the room are all present here with this release....I don't rate it above Pure Tonka for sure, but it is neck and neck with Pure Malt, at least for me!!!!!

Fragrantica - Fantasm has slightly aromatic edge, and overall more modern and pleasant scent profile than original. There are also some coconut vibes going on in the heart notes. Chocolate? Maybe, but mostly due to patchouli, still this is patchouli heavy fragrance. If you love Mugler style fragrances, you can blind buy it. For me it's a solid release, especially now when it's under L'Oreal.

Fragrantica - And I gotta say they really nailed it. I would even dare to say that the average niche snob would also enjoy this craft, since it 100% offers some complex facets to entertain the olfactory senses, but still maintains a mass appeal factor that a lot of people will instantly love when smelling it on you.

Final note is that the performance on this is incredibly good, it was still pushing strong after 8 solid hours and after I washed it off you could still smell a vaguely, but surely creamy aroma on skin. I really hope with this, this is gonna be the beginning of the revival of the A*men line. This thing is gonna crush it in the upcoming winter, can't wait!
