Alien (for women)

Designer: Thierry Mugler Olfactive Group: Oriental Woody
Video

Alien spreads mysterious aura, and it claims the right to that already by its name. Thirteen years after the huge success of Angel, Thierry Mugler has decided to challenge the perfumery world once again.

Alien is a magic elixir captured in a bottle in the shape of a strange object, reminiscent of philosophers’ stone or some warlock object of a deep and mysterious purple color. Its woman has to be a bit of a witch.

The creators of Aline based the composition on three main lines: warm white amber in the base, woodsy notes in the heart, and sunny Indian jasmine in the top. Alien was created in 2005 by Dominique Ropion and Laurent Bruyere.

Houston, we have lift-off! I've just smelled Alien for the first time today and already I'm traveling through the galaxy moving further and further away from Earth. I float on, entangling myself in a web of orange blossom and jasmine, passing Jupiter and Saturn in the process. The universe surrounds me, capturing me in its embrace as the stars invade my senses with the tantalizing aroma of velvety vanilla. I'm dizzy with sweetness as ardent amber and spicy woods overwhelm me. All nine planets are aligning as a dark, purple haze envelopes me, heating my skin. After hours and hours of this pleasantly sweet trek, I slowly begin my descent back to the Earth. Still mortal, but never forgetting my ALIEN experience!

Alien.....................

Feminine, Sweet, Sassy, Sexy, Sensual

Imtimate, Romantic and Ideal for the colder months.

There's nothing quite like it!

I was so disappointed when I tried Alien because Angel is my alltime favorite and my sons wear Thierry's signature cologne and I just love that. There is a mystery ingredient in some perfumes that I absolutely loathe, which is so overpowering in Alien that I had to jump in the shower because the scent was making me ill. It is also present in perfumes such as Poison, most of the Dolce and Gabbana lines, Red Door, and it is the base note you are left with when wearing all cheap perfumes like Avon or Mary Kay and the types you find in drugstores. I try alot of samples from ebay, so if anyone knows what this component might be please let me know so I can seriously avoid it.

I smell tobacco too! first thing, it's not listed, but there has got to be tobacco flower in there hiding.

Bought a 0.27 oz bottle during a sale, as I figured it was my best shot at 1) owning Alien for a reasonable price, 2) making my mother love this scent, which she does. I agree that both the name and the bottle can be of-putting. Don't let it sway you. I personally love the bottle and it's name, which are both a bit of mind trip. Is it truly 'alien'? Perhaps a better name would have been 'Demon', as it seems to be the exact opposite of Angel.

I agree that it does smell futuristic at first, especially if you don't know what to expect. But in the end, it is very much a modern perfume, that might remind you of the classic perfumes, such as Poison (more so if you bought a fake edition of such).

But Alien is delicious. First I smelled jasmine, but then a woody, smoky scent popped up, which made me love it even more. I don't really understand this one. It's cold, it's mysterious, distant and yet beautiful and warm. I swear I do smell tobacco in this. Amber is a given. So is jasmine, which is wonderful and develops almost instantly on my skin.

So I don't get the 'coldness' in it. The individual notes are warm. So why does it 'feel' so cold and distant? Very odd indeed. I almost want to say that it brings up images of a potions shop with a variety of sweet, likable and foul, throat gagging potions, with a fire somewhere in the distance. This one is for 'witches'. It's definitely very confident, very naughty and then becomes even more confident when the smokiness comes through.

It is definitely strong, but those that didn't like Angel, such as I did should definitely try this out. Whatever put me off in Angel, definitely isn't part of this scent. Try it. Try to appreciate it. And try not to fall madly in love with it.

When I first tried Alien, I developed a nagging headache. I thought "Oh No! Not the Red Door effect again!" (Red Door being notorious for causing headaches)
But it turned out I was just getting the flu ;-)
Which was great, because I loved it from the first spray.
At first I could smell tobacco. Not the nasty smell of cigarette smoke, but the earthy, almost yeasty scent of cured tobacco. I don't know where it came from, but it was a nice surprise. I was expecting a more traditional 'womanly' scent.
Most people mention the jasmine, but I just don't get it. I mean, the jasmine is there, but it's so quiet on me. Oddly, a friend of mine tried it, and the jasmine jumped out and stayed for ages. Still nice, but you wouldn't have thought it was the same perfume. Gotta love individual body chemistry :-)
The earthy, woodsy, smoky 'tobacco' scent with just a tinge of rich jasmine is stunningly different, and long lasting.
I just spray it on above my belly button, and it sort of rises and drifts quietly; like the smoke of a distant camp fire.
One spray, no more. I reckon it would easily be overwhelming in high doses ;-)
Give it a try, and see what it does on your body before buying. I don't think it's for every body.
One thing I like about it; it doesn't seem to cling to your clothing as much as other perfumes.
06/12/09 21:22:44
I cannot belive how well done the jasmine note is in this perfume. I cannot wear jasmine or I didn't think I could until I discovered Alien, Wow, this is stunning on my skin, so sexy too. Dark and full of power! Must get FB now!!
06/12/09 07:25:00
This perfume is very special and difficult to describe. Alien is the new Poison. It is one of the best fragrances for those who love strong and unforgettable scents.

It's the worst bloody scent I've ever tried!!!

It didn't appeal to me when I got a whiff of it on paper and it almost made me wrench when I applied it to my skin! I had hoped for a better drydown but nothing came of it.

I find it very annoying on other females and it's even worse for me when I'm at a cafe or bar and some silly little girl has ODed on it.... grrrrr

It has no romance to it which is how a fragrance should make a person feel.

My husband hates the stuff and I refuse to sell it.
05/20/09 10:47:41
There is no other way to describe this scent than by using the word, PURPLE. It is deep and sweet, yet airy and light at the same time. It is other-worldly, indeed. There is something magical about it - a vaporous quality that brings to mind the fake swirls of smoke from special effects like dry ice.

I was initially surprised when I received this as a gift - the name and the bottle can be quite off-putting; however, I fell in love with the perfume the moment I sprayed it on my skin and I've been a fan ever since.

There is a whole lot of sambac jasmine and amber in Alien. It starts with a blast of something sweet that's more of a purple aura than a fragrance. The top notes seem very similar to the heart notes - that is, if there are any top notes. This fragrance doesn't change much until the dry-down, when it becomes a bit smoky and very amber-y, with just a touch of woods.

Truly an experience as much as it is a perfume, Alien is something every woman should try on her skin, to allow it to develop; the paper strip doesn't do it justice.
05/12/09 12:06:49
this is a very feminine scent. If you like jasmine, you should like this because that's what I smell the entire time. The jasmine is sweet and juicy, with a slightly powdery feel after a few minutes. On my skin I don't smell woodsy anything and I don't think I can even detect the amber. If that changes, I will update later. I'm only trying it because one of the SAs the department store I went to kept pushing for me to try it. Finallyl, after buying Chanel Fraiche, she walked up to me and gave me two samples and told me to give it another try. (Keep in mind that she had already sprayed some on my wrist AND rubbed some lotion on top). So here I am....giving it another try. And still, all I smell is jasmin.

There's nothing mysterious about this fragrance to me. It's a pretty "obvious" scent. The jasmine is up front and center all the way. But I'll give it an hour and see what happens.
05/11/09 14:38:27
Alien for me is my favorite nº1 for the moment, five stars smell, five stars bottle, and five stars prodigy body line and the elixir parfum...
I'm crazy for this, but i continue looking for one better...
The yearning to find the absolute perfection!!!

does alien come in 90ml?

i only knew the 30ml and 60ml version...

so... the 90ml is a fake? :(

I've always admired Thierry Mugler's unique sense of style and approach when creating his fragrances and designing the packaging. While a fan of Angel, I wasn't quite sure of what to expect from his other fragrances. It took me a while to test Alien, his second most popular fragrance, for fear of being disappointed.

Well, I certainly was not disappointed. Something urged me to try this on my skin rather than the tester card, and I'm rather glad I did just that.

The initial spray was not at all loud and obtrusive, which was a pleasant surprise because I expected the top notes to be somewhat similiar in strength to Angel.

Alien is quite a deep floral scent, with the jasmine creating a sweet yet powdery-like smell. I like that this fragrance isn't complex and that it succeeds in appealing to a wide audience.

This fragrance has excellent sillage and lasting power. I wore this on a 5 hour train ride and I could still smell Alien wafting around me when I arrived at my destination.

The fragrance is quite versatile. I see Alien as being better suited to colder months and night time wear, however it could adapt well to any season or occasion.

Overall, I consider Alien as being a mysterious, sexy and bold fragrance. This is definitely not a perfume for the shy.
05/03/09 21:33:23
I am amazed to say that I love this stuff. Normally, I have not liked anything with heavy jasmine, but this may be the scent that turns that around for me. I have a 2 ml sample of the edp and it is only half-used after I have worn it 5-6 times, though -- that's how intense it is on me. (And it lasts forever.) I do see how the name came to be - there's something cold and futuristic about it, but it's gorgeous, clean without being soapy. This is why collecting perfume is so fascinating - just when you think a particular note will never work for you, you find that it does in a particular combination. Wow! Also, I agree that this is very different from Angel. I really dislike the sweetness of Angel and most of its flankers (except Pure Coffee), but Alien is not sweet at all.
05/03/09 20:21:47
Another "love it or hate it"-fragrance! After trying it, loving it and buying it, I discovered that it didn't work on me at all - the jasmine (when will I ever learn my lesson? Back away from the jasmine, d_s!) grew completely out of proportion, and it ended up smelling nauseating. Luckily it worked a lot better on my friend, so I gave it to her.
Still love the bottle, though - Invader Penguins from outer space!
04/27/09 11:41:49
Hmmm very interesting frag.I was expecting something else ,something sweeter ,something Thierry Mugler,but nope.this is totally different,but it is also very nice like all his other frags.This one is a cold smell,very seductive in an intelligent way,very misterious,very unpredictable.It changes all day and is very intriguing.I picture this on a brunette woman during the hot nights at the seaside on a romantic date.
04/27/09 10:44:07
Unique and striking, an intoxicating perfume with huge personality! Weird in a good way..never goes unnoticed by the people around!The smell developes and changes through the whole day so it is never boring.It is like swimming in a purple ocean and never want to go out of it!
04/26/09 18:57:30
 
In the 90-th my mother had a french cheap perfume that resemble 90% with this fragrance. Of course Alien is different, in the way that is better from package to ingredients...but the feeling is the same.
04/24/09 03:19:21
I love this fragrance!!! Alien is wonderful, smells like a garden full of flowers. Intoxicating and very long lasting, with a original bottle in purple colour. Perfect for everyday, every season and every situation
04/24/09 03:06:10
 
bleah, awfull fragrance, my friend have it and i feel sick when i am with her so i allways need to have 1,5 metre distance...yes it is feminine, but in very bad way, it is so heavy. i love jasmine but this is more than enough. but i must admitt that it is strange like alien...
04/19/09 11:19:27
"Alien" is really out of this world!

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!

The beauty of this fragrance is almost cruel! Although, “Alien” is quite heavy, it is not a warm and cozy scent. No, it is rather cool and somewhat aloof. Luring you in by its heavenly smell... but still keeping its distance. It is neither hot nor cold – nor sweet or sexy – so that it can be even worn to the office. Its “coolness” makes it even perfect for spring and summer!

“Alien” does not want to please anybody. It is not a girly, fruity “sexbomb” fragrance. It is made for the woman who does not need to proof anything to anybody (anymore) – she is self-assured and self-aware.

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.

04/01/09 16:17:51
I think this is a completely different scent than I normally wear, but it is so unique and it smells different on everyone! I tried it and so did my mom, we are both perfume obsessives, on me it was jasmine with a lovely woodsy earthy smell, on her only the woods came out she didn't get the lovely jasmine notes I graciously received. I love this and I desperately want, I think the name turns people off which is great because I don't want to smell like everyone else! I love this outofthisworld smell! :-) can't wait to add an alien to my collection ;-)
03/30/09 17:16:52
To me, it has a sweet, grape opening with just a hint of spice. I like this much better than "Angel", but the bottle, while matching the name perfectly, is so cheesy looking.
03/29/09 20:02:55
It's so weird that parfume in a way that excites me everytime i spray it.I feel like being lost in a fog and forgot everything about me,surrended to the strange sweet but overpowering smell
03/29/09 11:27:13
What contradictory feelings. In principle, I don't like strong perfumes, but Alien excited me...enchanted me...So warm, sweet, dense...Doesn't pass unnoticed.
For special romantic winter night.
03/26/09 09:15:14
 
I absolutely love this fragrance. I have the Thierry Mugler Alien
Prodigy Elixir Extrait de Parfum 10ml and I use the Prodigy Showers and Prodigy Body Cream. I have very nice compliments when I use this fragrance.
03/26/09 03:24:05
I'm still on the fence on this one. I got a mini of it, and I could smell it strongly even before I opened it. I wore it for a few hours, and couldn't decide if I like it. It is like nothing else I've ever worn. Even though I don't see it in the description, the top notes were lemon, lemon, lemon, and then definitely the musk.
It is interesting, and would definitely turn heads, but I doubt I'll buy any more.
03/25/09 09:06:34
First off, I'd like to say that the name Alien does NOT suit this fragrance at all...I hate the bottle's shape too...it looks like the head of a purple power ranger or something...it even looks kinda evil in a comical way lol. There's nothing sci-fi about this fragrance though, on the contrary it's actually very classy without being 'old'. It's also very feminine, sensual, and mysterious...picture a sultry, raven haired beauty in a midnight garden under the glow of the moonlight, waiting to meet her lover...the scent is all about seductive jasmine flirting with notes of deep, warm woods....lovely!
btw I hated Angel...so those who don't like Angel would probably like this one!
03/24/09 12:51:46
it's like it's screaming the name of Thierry Mugler as the composer of this perfume.
ok,all I get at the first sniff is a very warm and pure jasmine(without even looking at the notes),very provocative,sweet and warm.I think it gets it's warm scent from amber,but personally I don't get any woodsy note.
don't trust the simple compositions,it's really sophisticated and there's something in it that reminds me "ultraviolet" by pacco robbane.
in fact if you don't consider the name and the shape of bottle,I don't really think an alien would smell like this,but ultraviolet,which is somehow similar in shape and sense have the similar smelling.so maybe everything related to the alien world smells like this,but I doubt.
by the way,there's no doubt that it's a very good perfume.

I love this perfume, I have a rare 15ml eau de parfum version of it. And I don't want to waste it too much. the musk is very strong, and the jasmine stays long too, and I think it's my best perfume ever to be worn at night.

This perfume is so powerful i think it sould become more famous because the bottle and scent are thate own origianl and dont have any other problams with it!
03/07/09 00:55:37
I don't understand this fragrance. One thing I know for sure - it's definately not my kind of fragrance.
By the way after a couple of hours after you apply it - the weirdness kinda go away and the scent becomes flowery and for my taste more pleasant.
02/27/09 11:00:03
To me it smells like soap+jasmin. I don't love it but today, the first day I wore this to work, girls in the office commented ''it smells like spring flowers'', what ?!!!??Oh well, I guess it's better than I first thought. Very long lasting to, I sprayed myself in the morning and it's still smelling. So far I think it has very good lasting power and great/BIG sillage.
02/27/09 06:09:59
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.
02/26/09 14:38:16
 
I guess if aliens smelt this way I would rather them not to come to our planet...
02/26/09 14:04:17
IT is one of those rare gems found once in a decade. It is a powerful, long-lasting scent,beautiful, mysterious and charismatic. I ADORE THIS ONE
02/20/09 09:17:40
this is really nice! It has a character. So do I! It is intelligent. So do I. It is fresh! So do I! It is sweet! So do I!
Hey what's happening to me? Was I cocky this much or am I transforming into an ALIEN ;)
02/20/09 08:33:37
it's the strangest scent i've ever had and it lasts a long time, very sexy!! i would recommend it to any woman that wants to be noticed and special!
02/08/09 15:14:55
Indescribable.It's very different, like nothing I've ever smelled before.But like in a good way.I totally fell in love with Alien the first time I smelled it.The bottle is a big plus, super unique and beautiful, like a piece of artwork, kinda like the perfume itself.This is definitely next on my perfumes-to-buy list.
02/08/09 14:05:28
This is a bit of an odd one. I like it. It doesn't stay long on my skin and is a little undefinable. It was fun to buy once but I don't think I'd buy it again.
02/06/09 18:25:53
I do not play favorites with my perfumes but I have a special sentiment for Alien. It just works for me. Its strong, powerful, it has an attitude, but so do I.

Great for winter days, lasts all day and if you are careful with it, it can easily be worn in the office, as it stays close to my skin and makes me feel comfortable, like aroma bubble around me.

Dark, sweet, a bit spicy, I am in love with this one!
02/02/09 04:01:19
Girls, I have this problem with both – Angel and Alien. I don’t feel them after half an hour on myself, but next morning I still can feel them on my coat. And I also asked people if they can feel my perfume and they said they can. So I guess you just get used to the smell and don’t feel it anymore.
01/19/09 09:38:09
This is one of those rare gems found once in a decade. You simply cannot ignore it. It is a powerful, potent and long-lasting scent. It is beautiful, mysterious and charismatic, but not for the modest. You have to know what you are doing, because this one will most definitely turn heads. I adore Alien!
01/19/09 09:36:23
 
i have the same problem with angel... so i guess it's a skin ph issue... both angel and alien are famous for their long lasting qualities
01/19/09 08:59:11
No matter how much I spray, It doesn't stay long on my skin and the strangest thing is I can't smell it on myself and I wonder if other people can smell it when I walk past through them....strange...really strange...
01/19/09 08:28:03
It was a blind purchase from Dubia duty free (2 years back) as a gift for my mother. Now, its a best purchase i have ever made for her. Alien is her signature for almost every occassion. A little goes perfect (and a little plus may destroy appearance)!!! Two tiny sprays from a distance of half feet are quite enough to spread the "majestic" aroma for a crowd in huge area.

Intense blast of jasmine but settles perfectly with woody and ambery mix.

A very sweet present. Well its another POTENT Thierry Mugler perfume! I could not even get a spray that didnt overpower me :( I even used it as bathroom spray for a bit but.. tooo much still. The amber in this perfume is so overpowering it makes me think of spoiled perfume. Beautiful bottle though!
01/06/09 18:16:57
I don't know about how different is this scent, all I can say is -
I like this scents base notes and that it is long lasting.
I don't see it different, but it's fairly spicy with some flowers on a wood base, I feel I somewhere smelled it. I love it, but not having it because it reminds me my mothers perfume (which was cheap and in deep blue bottle) and Ange Ou Demon (a little bit), that's why it is no news for me.
For a difference, I can say that it is beautiful and glowing, everyone will notice you an try to sniff you.

at first thought it was a bit fastidious for my age, i kind of associated it with an exquisite aged genteel lady..but when worn i could actually see people, friends sniffing me:)..it`s an animalistic scent due to the ambergris..it`s sharp, it`s distinctive, screams attention..it`s perfect
01/03/09 02:45:14
I got a vial and immediately fell in love with it.Actually then I was on the Angel wave rather than Alien.I got a regular Alien only 2-3 days after X-Mas and could not stop spraying, it was also my NY fragrance...I adore it, it touches my skin like a steel item, may be it is because of the cold weather. It is chick, with cool elegance and veeeery seductive powdery-soapy dry-down. Thank God, the violets in the top notes are not too heavy. This fragrance really means class and style.And it is really really long-lasting but I keep on carrying it in my handbag. I got inspired and even bought a lingerie set in the same indigo color that the bottle has.

LOVE IT!!!
12/17/08 05:33:33
Due to the marketing, name, and bottle design, I expected a very modern and unusual fragrance. Instead, this was a warm, woody, powder scent with a soft jasmine base. Very romantic & sensual. Between Angel & Alien, my fiancee prefers this one. I prefer Angel. Like Angel, it last for hours and a little goes a long way. I'm glad to have it, but I don't feel like TM's marketing really hit upon the nature of this scent properly.
12/15/08 08:22:32
Very nice perfume, quite heavy and good for evening wear though. During the heat of the day it seems to have a life of its own and can be quite overpowering.
12/14/08 21:06:49
 
There's an awful lot of vetiver in this, and it tends to overpower the other notes. I get mostly vetiver and not much else. Still, the bright woody scent is fine.
12/14/08 17:10:13
the first time when I tried it on my skin, I hate it... it's seems too heavy and agressive, but after half on hour I loved it! it strong, but in the same time sweet and with personality; I will buy it for sore!
12/04/08 07:56:33
I agree that at first it starts off a little agressive. It's definitely a different fragrance, but if you want something long lasting this is the one! It's not my favorite, but I don't hate it either.
12/02/08 11:19:26
I have recently gotten a sample of this perfume and have only worn it twice in publc so far, and both times have gotten positive feedback. Yes, it comes off as agressive to begin with, but slowly settles to something very soft, gentle, romantic and not at all agressive. This could very well become a new scent for me...
12/02/08 10:42:57
Very different Scent!
Strong and unique.
People will notice you and comment about your Scent in a good way.

One of the designer has passed away. It is such a loss! This fragrance is amazing and the designers are genius.
12/02/08 04:40:39
Reminds me of India - very spicy and exotic. This is a powerful and unique fragrance that takes some getting used to.
11/17/08 17:20:04
There is definitely some magic about this divine scent! For me it is the most velvety, powdery and bewitching signature fragrance. Strong, distinctive jasmine and some elegant woodsy notes in the trail combined with gGreat staying power!
11/10/08 11:43:56
I was not bewitched with this fragrance and this elixir failed to cast a spell on me, perhaps it would perform well on another planet! The expected irresistible influence of magic with the warm, woodsy and sunny notes used was lost in translation on my skin. The jasmine, known for it's connection to Venus, hence the concept of this alien theme, was overbearing.

I'm curious though as to why amber, known for its down to earth properties (which departs from the alien topic) was used? Nevertheless, the overkill of the rich, sweet and often hypnotic essence of the earthy amber in the base lingered on to the point of a less than magical ending. I found this to be a similar interpretation of the original classic of Secret de Venus by Weil but on a much lower scale.

On a positive note, kudos to the enchanting yet bizarre motif of the purple bottle As to not discredit the talent of Thierry's creations, his Eau Luminescente which possibly is more earth-friendly will be my next fragrance to sample.

same here...this one is very unpleasant and dark...but for me,not in a good way...I can't smell it on anyone since it makes me sick...suffocation,nausea,as if it is a very strong poison sublimed in a very not-likeable bottle,alienated,odd,...such a pitty...I love Wish by Chopard and Angel but Alien remains an alien,and I quite doubt it will ever change....

What a strange, odd and misterious fragrance! Quite strong, it's not a confortable perfume!
I actually don't find it sexy... it's so strong and odd... on my skin I just don't like it... it is very sickening and I can't feel confident and confortable wearing it. This fragrance it's clearly not for me.
Though, it is very longlasting, strong, extravagant and unique. A very recognizable scent.
Ideal for women who want to cause some impact... no one feels indiferent to this scent!

It's really unique and it seems to me a very interesting fragrance but it's too strong and too much "alien".. i hate smelling it in the air or on my friends.

it is a unique sense, strong, lasting, powdery ending..beautiful

Everything is unique bout this parfum, from its bottle to its scent....
Anyway, it's reminds me the sweetness of Classic Poison from CD....
Every Thierry parfum either for men /women have it's own distinctive scent....BRAVO!

Wouldn't wear it during the day.
Unique Scent!!!

I had a bottle of this as a gift, and worked my way through it by wearing it at work with no bother - I liked that it is not over sweet, and although it is quite strong, the top notes settle down quite quickly, leaving more of a background glow. After the first few minutes it was not too attention grabbing, and I was more aware of the woody and spicy notes than the floral. Hint of black pepper in there somewhere, too. I think it could be regarded as a unisex fragrance, as I think it would work quite well on a man. And the bottle always make me (and my husband) think of the alien Vorlon Ambassador in Babylon Five, in his 'encounter suit'

I was pretty disappointed with this one.Heavy jasmine is all.And the bottle, though unique and unusual, reminded me of aliens (the good ones) in the 5th Element.

At first I didn't like it, it reminded me of ultraviolet (paco rabanne) which I don't like. But we had so many samples of Alien that I started to use it on my pillows, and now I actually like it. It's so strong and it's 'there', not subtle. Maybe it reminds me a little bit of Gaultier²

This smells wonderful! Never thought I would even ever care for it. Because of the name, the bizar purple bottle and the strongness of the scent itself in it (I heard). But I was so surprised to get these gorgious notes in my nose. And sophisticated, YES! That's what surprised me the most. The opening is quite strong but the drydown is soft and beautiful.
Unfortunately lots of people seem to wear it today...

I LOVE this scent! It is so very unique and the staying power is great. While wearing Alien, you definitely will stand out... its not your typical fruity/floral that everyone else will have on. Also, the lasting power is amazing! You only need a squirt or two and you are good to go.

For me, this is quite an aggressive perfume, not harmonic at all...it's quite in the same range of non-harmony as coco mademoiselle EDP; sorry, not for me.
08/28/08 08:46:38
One of the most sophisticated perfumes I have ever smelt. It's strange, discrete and very pleasurable. I wish I had enough money to purchase...

Very diferrent.. for winter use... sensual... and ver4y strong stays all day long..
08/16/08 11:52:42
I love it! It gives me a very nice sentiment of being special as an Alien.:)))

This is a great perfume it needs to get used to it. Its mix is complex and each element requires time to "take place" on your skin. This is not an easy perfume; it's more of a "mental" fragrance you have to tame.
07/20/08 20:31:11
Yes, it's strong. Nope, It's not disgusting and soapy. Well,prior i made a mistake spray it too much at first use and got headache. I almost gave up and threw it away. At second use, i tried at different scale of spray...It Works!Now, i just like it...and the design of the bottle..terrific
07/16/08 19:47:15
Had pretty much expectations on this, sounded like something I might like very much.. but it didn´t smell anything else on my skin, than soap! just soap. Not very special, I don´t like soapy scents anyway..

I´ll try it another time, since I have a sample, that isn´t over yet, maybe it will be different then..

This is such a purple perfume. When I wear it I imagine a magnificent and huge deep purple violet, made of tick, soft velvet and dripping of some sort of lush purple nectar. More like a spaceshipflower, and I am the divine spaceflower commander. :)

I actually thinking of dying my hair purple when I have this fragrance, but I don´t think I will.

Very strong, stayingpower is great, the drydown is so nice and longlasting. I can still smell it after 10+ hour...

I'm in love with it!Every day i used it, i felt just like a godess...
06/01/08 14:39:03
Alien smells like a sister of the Christian Dior "Poison" family, to me -- not "Poison" itself, but maybe closer to "Tendre Poison." I like it! The perfume itself is purple though, and so I can't help but wonder if it doesn't stain clothing.

Initially, it smelled almost bitter. But then, after about 30 minutes, it dried down and smelled really nice on me.

I really love this!! You must be careful with spraying because it really is strong, but it's lovely, different than anything else and has a great powdery basenote.

I can't say anything good about the scent! I felt sick smelling it on a woman all the time.
