Thierry Mugler Alien

This scent is quite simply lovely. It is light and delicate. It lasts but is not overpowering. I would recommend this to anyone who likes woody fragrances, but be prepared for the unexpected! An excellent choice for summer.

I have this fragrance but can only wear it in the winter as its heavy and sweet. To over powering in the warmer weather, but totaly delicious in the cooler months. It lasts all day and the body cream is divine!

After Angel, this is pretty interesting... has a sweet but mysterious kind of smell.. i liked it alot... Although i think they should have stuck with the original Angel.. the baby blue and the star bottle were alot more appealing... but saying that, i think alot of people would like this. if you prefer a very feminine smell with a bit of a woody undertone... i would say you have a winner in this one... Not bad at all but not a smell i would want people to remember me by...

I absolutely love this fragrance!! I have had so many people comment on how good I smell and asking me what it is. Also love the fact you can get the refillable bottle, which makes it a lot cheaper when you run out and need more! I will definitely keep using this perfume for a long time!

I have a feeling people seem to think that Alien is from the same range as Angel and that's where they go so wrong.. Their expectations are automatically disappointed and they disregard this fragrance without a fair chance.. The only thing in common is the Fragrance House.. Thierry Mugler! To be honest, I know its not going to be for everyone but if you like very rich, unique scents then you should have an open mind about this one. This fragrance is very unique, there isn't another like it out there and the stayability is amazing.. And despite the fact its strong its actually incredibly easy to wear. I personally am a huge fan of unique fragrances as I cannot stand fad fragrances. If you were to compare Alien to Angel.. Alien is for the individual that doesn't like to blend in with the crowd.. Angel is a very 'safe' fragrance.

I will give credence to the negative reviews that Alien has received. Alien is certainly a different scent, it is not for everybody, but if it's for you then you have an obsession for life!

So what's in a name? Perfumes are famously named some romantic/sexual/ooey-gooey mash up to make the buyer relate. "Eternity" or "Euphoria" engage our imaginations to have that beautiful glass bottle bring us our every "Desire." What I love about Thierry Mugler is his dedication to denotative perfume names... "A*men", "Womanity", and Alien is no different in that sense; but different in every other!

This perfume does have strong Jasmine notes, but for me its the woody notes that really come out. It is the longest lasting perfume I have, and I constantly have customers comment on it in the afternoon (8 hours after I put it on!)

So, if you are a different kind of girl (or boy), and do not want to smell like "a fragrance" then I suggest to give it a try (and really do try it first).

Not the best Angel perfume that Mugler has produced, was really disappointed with it. The smell kinda went a bit off after awhile, the original Angel is still the best.

I blind bought this untested as I am a fan of Thierry Mugler's Angel, and had high hopes for anything from Thierry Mugler. I can't say I am huge fan of this though.

The most dominant note in Alien is an overpowering jasmine. It's difficult to tell what natural jasmine smells like, having never smelt the actual flower, though there is something very synthetic about this scent. It almost smells like a cheap scent you would purchase for $20 at a pharmacy.

Alien is a very strong perfume, so you have to use it sparingly to avoid giving yourself a headache.

The bottle itself is very original and looks like a work of art. That alone is the only reason I have held on to my bottle of this and not given it away.
