A 2008 limited-edition flanker of Mugler's A*Men, Pure Coffee strips the line down to a mellow, roasted-coffee-bean accord over patchouli, musk and a touch of the A*Men woody-vanillic base — darker, drier and less sweet than the other Angel/A*Men flankers, and widely praised as one of the best coffee scents in men's perfumery. Because it was discontinued and now trades at high collector prices, the community has been hunting a dupe for years, but consensus is that no mainstream clone house (Lattafa, Fragrance World, Armaf, Dua, Alexandria) has actually reproduced it — threads on Basenotes and Fragrantica repeatedly describe it as "unobtanium" with nothing that truly nails the accord. The one genuinely purchasable, explicitly-labeled dupe repeatedly pointed to is Perfume Parlour's inspired-by oil/spray (sold as "Roasted Beans For Men 0014," and referenced in older threads as "Purish Coffee"), which several posters call the closest affordable option though it is a budget UK impression house rather than a spray-for-spray clone. Beyond that, the frequently-mentioned "alternatives" (Demeter Fresh Brewed Coffee, various niche coffee-gourmands) are same-genre coffee scents rather than true dupes, so overall clone consensus here is thin and this list is deliberately short and honest.
