Scent Depot Score™

6.6/10

Good

Worth consideringA citrusy lift (bergamot, orange) quickly folds into a warm, boozy heart of patchouli, coffee, cedarwood, and cognac, settling into a sweet amber-vanilla-musk base. Performance trends moderate—many report roughly 5–6 hours and mid sillage, though some note stronger results after maceration.

More Information

Key strengths

Very strong value at ~$25–$27 for 100 ml in the US with broadly liked warm-sweet profile.

Works especially well for cool evenings and social wear.

Things to know

You want an exact Mugler A*Men Pure Havane/Malt replica—community comparisons exist, but pyramids and impressions vary.
You dislike sweet, amber-gourmand profiles with boozy/coffee accents.
You require ultra-strong projection or worry about batch/maceration variability.
