The scent cloned by A*Men ==> Animale Animale versus A*Men
This fragrance has been already extensively commented. I would like to add some personal opinions only, comparing Animale Animale with A*Men.
- A*Men was launched in 1996. Animale Animale was launched in 1994. If one fragrance is clonning the other, surely it's not Animale Animale.
- The two fragrances are similar in their different stages. The dry down is praticaly identical.
- A*Men is a bit sweeter and spicier. Animale Animale is a bit fruitier (pineapple).
- Animale Animale performs almost as good as A*Men.
- A*Men has a bit of smokiness that I do not detect in Animale Animale.
- A*Men is a bit more manly than Animale Animale. I do think that Animale Animale is closer to Angel than A*Men is close to Angel..
- A*Men has an average sprayer. Animale Animale has a bad sprayer.
- Three 200 ml bottles of Animale Animale cost as much as one bottle 100ml of A*Men.
I tested Animale Animale in one arm and A*Men in the other. I asked my wife to tell me which is which (she adores Angel and loves A*Men).
- Opening notes - She got it right.
- Heart notes - She got it wrong.
- Drydown - She got it wrong.
My rates for Animale Animale / A*Men:
Scent openingt:...........7.5 / 9.5
Scent drydown:...........8.0 / 9.0
Longevity:....................8.0 / 9.5
Sillage:..........................7.0 / 9.0
Versatility:....................8.5 / 8.5
Wearability:..................8.5 / 8.5
Compliments...............8.5 / 8.5
Uniqueness:.................8.0 / 8.0
Quality:.........................7.0 / 9.0
Presentation:...............5.0 / 9.0
Price:...........................10.0 / 8.0
Average:.....................7.76 for AA / 8,81 for A*Men
between 7 and 8 =above average;
between 8 and 9 = recomended;
bigger than 9 = don't miss it;
Advice: If you still don't have it, just order A*Men, provided you are a Mugler fan. If not ... try before you buy.
If you are on a budget, Animale Animale is an option.
