A*Men Gold Edition

Yes, indeed it is the exact same fragrance as the original. However, Gold Edition will more likely than not smell wayyy better, smoother, and more well-rounded than any bottle of AMen in its current formulation. AMen has been reformulated many times over the years, and even since Gold Edition came out. The older formulations, such as those in Gold Edition, are of much better quality. The smell is clearly better, more distinct, and it projects better. The sillage is more pleasant as well, and that dry-down is mouthwatering. I highly recommend giving Gold Edition a go if you can get your hands on an authentic bottle. I have it, and I love it. The price point for a new, unopened Gold Edition is actually pretty fair in my opinion. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase. Not to mention the bottle is beautiful and heavy in the hand.

70% same fragrance as the old beautiful A men. Some notes are different in this very limited edition. Definitely better than the common one. The coffee is much stronger, cedar wood and a bit more of incense. Basically it is the same vinage fragrance, far away from the A men nowadays. I must say that the performances are incredibile. I own a 2012 edition, there are 2012 and 2013 only and the sillage is criminal. Te longevity is, on my skin, until the next day. The liquid is a bit oily, very concentrated. The bottle is also a work of an art, that metal is incredible well done and beautiful. If you can find it on ebay, grab it quickly, THIS is the real A men... 9/10 PS It is NOT similar with the silver case. Beware. The silver case edition are still in production, this GOLD edition must be ONLY from 2012 or 2013!

Dont listen to people who are saying this is different or softer. I don't know whats going on with them or their bottle. This is the same juice with a different coloured flask. Been using A*men for many years now and I know the difference. I also compared side by side. Same juice, different bottle, just like A*men Urban, and A*men Bracelet de Force.

Less caramel than I smell in the classic (ugly) rubber edition, with mooore woody notes a good amount of coffee and paciuli, a delicious fragrance with amazing performances. It is quite made before reformulations, it is more deep and complex than nowadays AMen. The gold case is heavy, amazing polished looks luxurious and nice.

Even though the scent was supposed to be the same as the regular edition, I notice is slightly softer and with less longevity, but still unmistakably Thierry Mugler A*Men. The Golden flask is awesome and can be used with any refill of any of the flankers, and it really adds weight and class to your perfume shelf. ;-)
