If you’re the type of perfumista who worships jasmine, Thierry Mugler’ Alien perfume might just suit your nose perfectly. Alien is a well dressed jasmine infused with warm amber notes. This beautiful fragrance commands immediate presence but subtle on the sillage. It’s provocative, radiant and evokes a certain mystery – a playful mix of emotions, sensual yet demure-like. A garden of fragrant jasmine Sambac blossom overflows at first sniff. The top notes may come off a tad overpowering to some but slowly it fades into velvety softness emanating from cashmere, amber and vanilla.
Alien is quite a rich scent. It soothes but is not the typical fragrance that emanates a cozy feel. It is cold, distant, more like an aloof scent, so to speak. The playful mix of weirdness makes the scent more interesting and not mention more inviting as it permeates a whiff of mystery with its distinct fragrance.
Perfume reviews rant and rave about Alien. Fragrance pretty much depends on one’s body chemistry. You either love it and wear it like second skin or completely despise it as the accords react differently on your skin as the scent comes off as too overpowering. Here’s one Alien user who likes the fragrance a lot, “A friend of mine let me use some of her “Alien” for me to try today. So I sprayed a little dose at the back of my hand. After the first blast of intense violet has settled down, I was immediately intrigued by the presents of this unusual scent! Intense, strange and absolutely beautiful!” And another one enamored by Alien’s hypnotic ambiance, “ I don’t think that I need to mention, that I was constantly sniffing the back of my hand. I seldom did this with any other fragrance. Yes, it is true, “Alien” is not for everybody – but for the women who can put this off, this fragrance will be certainly making a leaving impression on anybody, if used in small doses.” Yet one perfume user finds herself on the fence with Alien, “Strange cosmos…It’s not like Angel, this one is completely odd. Your nose will not be able to pick out certain notes. This brand delivers interesting perfumes, I can say that. I’m not going to jump on the space ship though.”

Alien is housed in an amethyst-colored bottle whose shape is as weird as its namesake. The fragrance was launched in 2005 and was created by perfume designers Dominique Ropion and Laurent Bruyere.
