Mugler
A*Men
“Coffee, caramel, and mint — the gourmand bomb that taught everyone how to wear sweet.”
One of the founding sweet-gourmand masculine launches of the 90s — Jacques Huclier's 1996 launch for Mugler, a coffee-caramel-vanilla composition that set the template for the modern sweet-gourmand category. Caramel in the heart, a coffee-patchouli-vanilla drydown. A winter evening fragrance.

- ●Coffee-vanilla-mint gourmand with zero competition
