Strong contender
FragDNA score · on paper
The review
Star Men scores 7.4 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing A*Men.
Fragrance World lists 5 of the 12 notes in A*Men's pyramid — lavender, mint, bergamot, coriander and patchouli. What it does not list: caramel, coffee, honey and cardamom; and it adds musk of its own.
It is sold as a parfum — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $19 per 100ml it costs 78% less than A*Men — the cheapest of 3 twins we can price.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Fragrance World 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. Fragrance World set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
