Introduction, blah, blah. Right, here are the notes, get a load of this: Coffee, caramel, honey, patchouli, vanilla, milk, benzoin, amber, musk, malt whiskey, fruits, lavender, mint, lilly of the valley and jasmine. It’s out of this world.

A*Men Pure Malt Creation 2013 is a limited edition for 2013 and created using patented techniques that are usually used in the production of whisky. The fragrance has been aged in toasted oak caskets for 6 months at a time to create this intense, deep, dark and rich fragrance.

It’s so masculine and perfect for Winter/Christmas. A little strong as soon as you apply it but within an hour it transforms into a full spectrum of notes (with A*Men, there’s not really a defined top/heart/base).

A*Men Pure Malt Creation 2013 is priced at just £45 and is available here from Debenhams Online.
