Alien by Mugler

The opening is a beautiful jasmine, but as it dries down, it turns into an earthy, almost rotten wood that becomes unbearable, and the jasmine disappears. I tried to love it, but I couldn’t with it 😔

I adore it. I bought it blind and it was instant love. That jasmine takes me back to my childhood, the scent of my grandmother with fresh flowers on her clothes; it’s an emotional note. It’s not just any jasmine; it’s complex, deep, and elegant. It lasts forever and was the first perfume to make me feel flattered. What a disappointment not to have tried it sooner; it proves that classics never go out of style. A delightful surprise that’s now among my favourites. I’d buy it a thousand times over.

It’s intense and mysterious despite being floral. The trail and longevity are incredible. It seems elegant and complex even with few notes. It’s not something to buy blind or a common scent. Definitely recommended for those over 30. If you want to feel powerful, feminine, sexy, and mysterious, this perfume gives it all.

My number one alongside Angel and its versions; excellent quality with incredible longevity and trail. A spectacular aroma of jasmine and woods, sexy and feminine. I love it forever.

To me, it smells like expensive soap, very feminine and rich. I tried it out of curiosity and ended up falling in love. As a user of Flowebomb by Viktor & Rolf, it feels like a logical evolution from one perfume to another. I think it will be my new signature.

Alien is the only one that has left me speechless… At first, with its reputation for lasting forever, it didn’t convince me at all in the shop: the dry-down was too strong, incense-heavy and too masculine for me. But a few months ago, I used it as a body mist in the evening and it was a total surprise. On my skin, it turned floral, enveloping and incredibly cosy, reminding me of my mother’s Angel and awakening a sense of comfort I didn’t expect. It has nothing to do with the image I had of it. Now, between Alien and Hypersense, I choose this one: although Hypersense is more sparkling and fruity, this is more serious and ambered, but now I absolutely love it.

It was a blind purchase and I have loved it. It smells of sugary jasmines, it is sexy, mysterious, dark and sensual. You can’t stop smelling it.

The most extreme jasmine. To wear Alien, you must be a fan of white florals, because the opening is intense, almost overwhelming. Many find it elegant but very matronly. What I enjoy most is the dry-down: when the jasmine fades and the cashmeran and amber rise, it becomes warm and pleasant, without excessive sweetness. Some say it is sugary jasmine, but on my skin the amber adds only a touch of sweet. The vibe is of a manager in the office: serious, formal, with character. My rating: 6/10. It was my first time with Mugler and it was a small disappointment; I expected more. Still, it is a classic for those who love pure jasmine.

I had read good reviews about Alien and here is my honest opinion… Despite having only three notes, it is a complex scent. I have been wearing it for a week and I am still discovering it. The jasmine is super realistic. It is not a beast in projection, but it has good longevity and an intense aroma. I like it; I perceive it as ‘clean’ due to the jasmine, although it is not for any age; I think from 25 it suits well. I am intrigued to try the Hypersense or the EDT, which are said to be more wearable. I feel it is a scent I like a lot, elegant, clean and mysterious. I have never perceived it on others, which makes it unique. I prefer it more for autumn and winter. It is a good value for money investment; I paid 800 pesos with a reliable seller.

I must say it is surprising. As a man, in the current state of the market, it is the best perfume that both a man and a woman can wear. I have been wearing it for a while and it is a real machine: the jasmine is impressive, the evolution leaves you speechless and the longevity and projection are brutal, very economical for everything it offers. A 10/10. I confirm it is a compliment machine. You don’t need to do anything, just put a little on (watch out for overdoing it because it is strong) and the perfume will invade everyone around you without you realising. What a gem Alien is.

I would like an ‘love-hate’ rating for complex feelings. When I first smelled it, it hypnotised me; I said ‘I love it’ and ‘I need it’, captivated by that lilac or violet jasmine, as if it had dyes, a jasmine made of bubblegum. But after a while, it overwhelmed me. Very strong, sharp, disgusting concentration, it disturbed me: ‘Does this smell that invades me and won’t stop be this perfume?’. Yes, it was. I needed it to calm down or vary. Although I wet my arm just with a swab. I saw reviews saying it is strong at first but enjoyable with wear, so I will continue testing it with the sample.

I love it, it is perfect, only that it doesn’t last at all, how can that be? Everyone says it lasts forever 🙁

Alien EDP – Mugler. To start this new journey, although it is extremely well-known, I settled for a Mugler classic. A perfume for going out at night. So much has been said about it that I can only confirm everything. But I want to wear it because I feel like a goddess every time I see it. It brings me so many good memories. The fragrance is highly praised by men and women; in men it has a transformative effect🙊. I went to the presentation of the EDT in Madrid and Dulceida herself, friendly and spontaneous as in her videos, said how good it smelled. I was at the presentation of HER fragrance! Madame de Rosa, who attended her friend’s event, also emphasised how much she loved my perfume. Of course, I was wearing Alien. Its trail is enormous, it floods any room. Its longevity is outstanding, about 8 hours on my skin with notable projection at the end. Despite the reformulation, the performance is still very good and the aroma is identical to the Thierry Mugler version. In my opinion, only for cold weather, although I know women who use it in summer. Jasmine, cashmere and amber. Despite the apparent naturalness, the combined aroma is quite artificial; cashmere combined with jasmine can make you think of clothes washed with luxurious products. Indeed, it is extraterrestrial (‘weird’). I am more of a fan of pleasant aromas that everyone likes. In Alien, you either love it or hate it. Although it sounds paradoxical, I am passionate about how it makes me feel: a true FEMME FATALE! Mysterious, bewitching, attractive, enigmatic, intense, powerful, timeless… Sexy beyond measure and elegant. This is how this woodsy, sweet, and resinous jasmine bomb is, which could be the scent of Marlene Dietrich in ‘Witness for the Prosecution’ or Greta Garbo in ‘Mata Hari’💜.

It took me more than 6 years to decide and buy this perfume. I saw so many reviews and comments. Once I saw it in a friend’s dressing room, I smelled it and it disappointed me a little; I expected something WOW and it seemed like a very weird aroma. After years, I decided and bought it. I used it and said: ‘mm, I like it but it’s normal’. After 3-4 days I was finally able to know it 100%, I LOVE IT!!!!! It is my favourite perfume and I would buy it as many times as necessary. Without a doubt it is a perfume with which I want to be remembered always. NOTE, if you don’t like jasmine, it is not for you, because it smells a lot, but obviously improved, it is not like bringing a jasmine plant there hahaha, but it is deliciousooooo!!!! It is a very peculiar aroma, without a doubt not many people smell this or similar perfumes, it is very unique and delicious =) very sweet!!!

I bought it blind, I don’t regret it but it is not my best purchase. The bottle is beautiful, the content puzzling (like most Muglers), although it is not bad. In the opening notes I felt a strong grape aroma, fresh, but it changes to jasmine… quite potent. It has medium to long fixation, trail and projection, but not as invasive as Angel.
