Released in 2009, this very first formulation and edition of Pure Malt is easily identifiable by the words 'Edition limitee-Limited edition' printed on the front of the box. PURE MALT (EDITION LIMITEE-LIMITED EDITION - SUBLIMEE DE NOTES BOISEES-SUBLIMENTED BY WOODY NOTES) I am always open to new information and corrections, so please feel free to offer up batch codes and information if you have any and I will add those details to my series and mention you with a thank you at the end.

I will also omit for now the daddy of them all, A*MEN which deserves it's own piece at a later date, such is the complexity of the releases and reformulations.įor collectors and fans alike, I will give batch codes, packaging details and identification barcodes wherever possible and I hope that this might help those now and in the future who are looking for information as this series of wonderful fragrances becomes scarcer and rarer and eventually becomes part of history.

I have never been lucky enough to get my grubby little mits on A*MEN URBAN despite brave attempts to persuade a non co-operative American on the Bay of Fleas to ship further than his own backyard! I have never even seen the Bracelet de Force issue of A*MEN so again it is not included in my series here. This is no way is a definitive guide as I will concentrate only on those that I currently possess in my own collection which include original first batches and some rarities. A GUIDE TO MANFRED THIERRY MUGLER'S 'A*MEN/B*MEN & THE PURE' SERIES OF FRAGRANCES By Paul Williams (Part One)įollowing on from my recent series in four parts giving insight into Manfred Thierry Mugler's personal history, and the story of his male fragrance range from A*MEN through to Alien Fusion, here I will concentrate in more detail on some of the individual fragrances from the line from 2004's B*MEN up until the last of the 'Pure range' 2018's re-releases of Pure Malt and Pure Havane in reformulated guise.
