Glamour is a rich fruity floral that retains Mugler’s DNA. The best part is that it feels more polished and balanced, with no single note overpowering the others. You can detect peach, apple, jasmine, and rose, all with a very pleasant texture. The longevity is luxurious; it smells more feminine and works brilliantly in cool or mild weather. Having a designer version does mean it loses a bit of its originality, but it’s worth comparing performance and quality to find the best representative of this style. Rating: 7.5/10. Tried on a sample from Mon Parfum, Chile.
I tried it in a decant and it’s super similar to Versace’s The Dreamer, especially as it dries down.
I received a decant of Lis. I tested it side by side with Alien, and honestly, upon spraying, this one smells a touch more refined, but overall they are very similar. I wouldn’t buy Glamour if I already owned Alien, especially given the astronomical price difference when they are practically the same 🫠
I agree. It is extremely similar to Alien; I identified it from the very first spray. When worn generously at the start of autumn, it smells more refined, polished, and smoothed out compared to Alien. It’s ideal for those who can’t tolerate the reformulated Alien but still love the scent. The price difference is a drawback. I stick with Mugler for the cost and potency.
I received an 8ml decant. After half an hour on my wrist, it is identical to Mugler’s Alien. If there are any changes as it dries, I will edit, but if not, why spend so much on a copy when we have the wonderful original from years ago?
In my opinion, it is the refined version of Thierry Mugler’s Alien. Of course, with its nuances. Unless you are highly trained in fragrances, you won’t realise which is which in the first few hours. However, as it dries, things change: Alien remains linear from start to finish, whereas Glamour suggests that true beauty lies within.
