A*Men Fantasm by Mugler: the chocolate-patchouli thrill brought to incandescence In 2024, the A*Men saga offers a new act named Fantasm. This Sensual Eau de Parfum exhorts the masculine imagination: a flash of citrus and pink pepper cuts through the air; a mist of dark chocolate rises, softened by an almost metallic sage; finally, the moist earth of patchouli pulses with an ambery warmth as long as a summer night. Conceived by perfumers Louise Turner and Jacques Huclier, the composition draws on the vertigo that seizes the athlete at the moment of the jump: the instant when reason wavers and sensuality takes over. The result? A modern woody gourmand, creamier and more textured than the original A*Men, but no less magnetic.
Bergamot, fruity and sweet, and lemon, fresh and tart, occupy the top alongside chocolate, cocoa-like and almond-tinged: the citrus freshness cuts against the cocoa's gourmand quality on this same tier.
In the base, amber woods, tobacco and dust, sit alongside sugared almond, gourmand and sweet, and patchouli, earthy and damp; the sugared almond's sweet quality finds an echo in the wood's dusty grain.
