The review

Radical Brown Man scores 5.0 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing A*Men.

Armaf sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is A*Men's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $50 per 100ml it costs 41% less than A*Men — the 2nd cheapest of 3 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Armaf publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

Mugler A*Men is lavender, mint and bergamot at first, caramel, coffee and honey at its heart and patchouli, Tonka Bean and vanilla at the end. Armaf set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Coffee, caramel and tar in a metal bottle; the blueprint every sweet men's fragrance still copies.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.

How it ranks against the other twins

Of the 5 twins of Mugler A*Men we can price, Radical Brown Man is number 2 on price per 100ml.
