A long shot

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

A long shot. That is where Marvelous lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to A*Men.

AromaPassions 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 $69 per 100ml it costs 19% less than A*Men — the 3rd 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 AromaPassions 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

What it is chasing: lavender, mint and bergamot up top, caramel, coffee and honey in the middle, patchouli, Tonka Bean and vanilla underneath — the shape of Mugler A*Men.

Top

  • lavender
  • mint
  • bergamot

Heart

  • caramel
  • coffee
  • honey

Base

  • patchouli
  • Tonka Bean
  • vanilla
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, Marvelous is number 3 on price per 100ml.

  1. 01 Fragrance World Star Men $19/100ml
