Thierry Mugler Alien

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).

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 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!

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 absolutely love this fragrance as an evening scent! It is so yummy and people always wonder what I am wearing when I have it on, I love the bottle and how it is made from a semi precious stone, also that it is refillable! This perfume lasts all day and even when you wash you clothes you can still smell it. Love it!

Alien must be my all time favourite perfume, but I find it is best for evening wear a little to heavy for day wear. Its not to be confused with Angel, they are both completely different perfumes and you probably find that if you suit Alien your skin will not like Angel. Alien lasts all evening, no need to reapply. Great if worn with the body moisturiser. Also what is good is that it is available in a refillable bottle how cool is that.

So I can only say good things about this perfume. Sure it is expensive as the biggest size is around $200 but it is well worth it considering you can get it refilled for half the price which many people still do not know. I love the packaging because it reminds me of space and aliens (hence the name) and the smell is just amazing. I've always had people telling me I smell good when I wear it and it stays on for literally days and still holds the smell. I've had many perfumes Gucci flora, flower bomb and juicy couture etc.. But never has the smell stayed so strong on my clothes or body.

This is my most favourite perfume, I love the sweet smell, when ever I wear it I always get asked what fragrance I'm wearing! I have even got all my friends using it:)

This perfume just works on me for some reason. I get a thousand compliments daily and have had dates ask me to spray their clothes so they can take me home... (Slightly creepy but still a compliment!) a very unique smell that definitely catches attention. It has a great 'waft' factor as you walk by. This scent is sexy as hell and I feel like a goddess daily!

"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!
