Best Gourmand Fragrance: Mugler A*Men Fantasm Eau de Parfum Sensuelle

In the same way lovers yearn for the scent of each other, the Mugler A*Men Fantasm inspires the same carnal, otherworldly attraction with the perfume. Created by Louise Turner and Jacques Huclier, this amber gourmand fragrance opens with the luminous combination of citrus and bergamot before unveiling the smooth and suave highlight of dark chocolate — rich and enveloping in its fragrant embrace, further enhanced by clary sage and a masculine, earthy base note of patchouli. With a flacon as sleek and tactile as Mugler A*Men Fantasm’s, this fragrance is a true-blue, modern, seductive fantasy in a bottle.
