Thierry Mugler Alien

"You smell great, what perfume is that?" That my friend is Alien. Although often challenging to come by in stores - totally worth the hunt to find. Everyone's skin produces it's own natural oils and scent, therefore perfumes will often smell slightly different from person to person. I definitely hit the jackpot when I discovered Alien. I said the exact above words to a friend one day and had to get my hands on a bottle straight away. I've never gone without it since. I originally purchased a bottle from The Warehouse perfume counter, however they no longer sell it. When I ran out of my first bottle, I went to two different Farmers stores only to leave deflated as they didn't have it either. I resorted to purchasing it online through strawberrynet. Shop around as prices vary quite significantly from retailer to retailer, but caution to the wind when buying perfume online - make sure it's a trust worthy company so the product is authentic, as well as not damaged i.e exposed to sunlight and incorrectly stored. During the very brief time that I had to wait to receive my bottle in the post, I pined even more so for my Alien when I got in my car daily. The scent is so strong, as in resilient, that I could smell it on my seat belt strap where it had rubbed near my neck - it was heavenly! At least weekly I get the opportunity to bless another soul with the beauty that is Alien when they ask me what perfume I'm wearing. Alien makes me feel womanly, sexy and bold whenever I'm wearing it. My husband loves it too, which is a win for me at Christmas or birthdays! I prefer to buy the 30ml bottle as opposed to the refillable 60ml or 90ml options for two reasons, one I'm not brave enough to attempt to refill the bottle myself and two because I'd prefer to have a fresh batch more regularly to avoid any sunlight damage. I very rarely wear any other perfume now, Alien is definitely what I'd consider to be my signature scent, and hey, what girl doesn't love being told she smells great?! Hands down 100/100 Hoping to try the Alien body lotion one day soon too, but hubby hasn't got the hint yet!

I have always preferred woody, strong masculine type fragrances- so it was no surprise I would absolutely love this scent. It is now one of my 'staples'! It's a really spicy, unique scent which almost hypnotizes you! Certainly not suited to those who are meek and mild. It suits my personality perfectly.

The purple bottle is gorgeous and fits in the hand perfectly, the only thing I don't like is the name being etched on the bottle.. I feel it looks a bit 'cheap'

I was away on holiday with a friend and I thought she smelt amazing. I was looking for a new perfume and asked her what she was wearing and she replied "Alien". A few weeks later I bought some and it has become my new favourite. It is a bit pricey but when I purchased it the lady at Life Pharmacy said next time I could just refill the bottle. How awesome is that, no bottles going to landfill. I am not sure how to describe the scent other than it being pure pleasure to my nose.

This had me at woody and amber. Two of the scents I love, they really go so well together. This is super long lasting, I pop it on my pulse points and I get comments on how amazing it smells. This is fragrance bottle is unique as it can be refilled at certain pharmacies. This is a great cost saving as this is not the cheapest fragrance out.

I guess it depends on your taste but WOW I LOVE this perfume!!!

When I go out I get asked all the time what I am wearing and the women who ask me always take note. I am sure they go and purchase for themselves.

If you want to smell delicious then buy this!!!

This perfume is one of my favourites. I worked with a lady many years ago who wore this perfume and it smelt so devine. When I eventually bought it well a small 30ml to try it out I fell in love. My husband bought me the Travel pack for Christmas last year which included a 60ml perfume, 10ml refillable bottle and 50ml lotion I was over the moon. I keep reminding him to please buy me more and make sure its on my bedroom dresser so he knows which one to buy. I I have had so many compliments and best of all it stays on you most of the day.

This was my first higher end purfume and I fell in love with it the first time I smelt it. Absolutely love this scent and always get compliments. The only reason I knew about this was because I smelt it on someone else and asked what she was wearing. Loved it ever since! Stays on all day and I can still smell it on myself by the end of the day. The bottle is odd in my opinion but it looks good with my collection. Super convenient bottle and easy to spray!
