Alien Thierry Mugler for women

I received a mini of this and although I'm not a floral person, this was wearable. But I don't know if that's because jasmine is the least noxious floral for me. Alien to me is a more mature fragrance. When I put it on, I actually felt it was more suitable for my mother or my sister-in-law's mother. It actually reminded me of one of their signature fragrances. One of the few florals not to give me a headache. And it's weird, but to me, it smells purple, like a whiff of a grape hardcandy or grape flavoured cold/cough medicine. It made me think that the bottle was absolutely appropriate. Sillage was decent, it's very floral, and I wouldn't mind if someone other than me was wearing it.

Alien Rose, Alien and Womanity are three of the most awkward, lumbering, gauche fragrances I can think of. Anything from TM accosts me with a tremendous migraine, dizziness and nausea within seconds of applying a small amount. This can't be good. Smell is more in our brains than our noses, which is also the place where migraines, dizziness and nausea originate (usually). Different does not always mean good.

I don't understand how this can smell nice on anyone. On my skin it smells sickeningly sweet, dirty (in a bad way), synthetic and way too strong. I gave it a fair chance by not washing it off and enduring the headache and feeling of sickness that it gave me until this suffocating smell disappeared on its own (which took a long, long time), hoping it would turn better, but no. It's just terrible!

I really like this scent but for some strange reason it makes my stomach ache...however, because I like it, I'll still keep it until my stomach get used to it. Sigh...

I love the name and the Purple glass bottle.
Purple Glass / Crystal always catches my eye :)
The perfume is very warm & cozy IMO
Would work best in the colder months.
I have added Alien to my "too purchase list :)
Its a nice one..:)

NOW THIS IS GETTING MORE AND MORE STRANGE!
Three years ago,when I heard about Mugler fragrances,I was like:"Yuck,who can wear that without having a head/stomach/brain...ache?"
Today,I'm VERY PROUD to announce I'm a big fan of Alien and Angel La Rose...Yes,not one,but TWO PERFUMES from Mugler house allready in my tiny collection! All I can say is:

ALL OTHER PERFUMES I HAVE ARE LIKE WATER FOR ME NOW!

Big test: One spritz of this insane jasmine scent on my hand then had to bathe my little 2 months old "donut" - Naty...After all that bubbling and soaping,my hand still smells like...aliens giving me a huge bouquet of jasmine flowers!!!

I smell addiction!!!!!!!!

Dear Alien, I officially think you are the worst smelling perfume in the entire world. You remind me of smoking old ladies.

*hides from angry crowd holding torches and pitchforks*

Love it. Very unique. I smell like I have just jumped into a pool of sarsaparilla soft drink. Great sillage can still smell this a couple of days later on my clothes. Just run out and need to purchase another bottle.

I confess... I can't find a scent that I would like more than Alien... (sigh)

I finally gave this one to try. It was an interesting experience. When I first sprayed it on my wrist, it smelled like plasticky permanent marker. I was considering going to the restroom to wash it off, but that bad smell went away and was replaced with something beautiful. I think a lot of perfumes smell nice, but rarely do I find one that I call beautiful. Even though the perfume is made of 3 notes, it is a distinct floral perfume and I like it. 1-2 sprays is all you need, I think.

So disappointed by this one. By reading description, I thought I found The One for me. But alas, some problems. First, apparently I don't like Jasmine all that well. Secondly, along with the Jasmine it smelled synthetic to me. Yes, like plastic. So this didn't sound right. The dry down was powdery old lady. None of this matched my expectation, so I tried it again.

Same thing. Boo. Oh, and the fade was uber fast. 5 hours. Not acceptable at any price, especially this one. Angel sticks with me so I just don't get it...

beautiful, sexy, exotic, MYSTERIOUS scent. It leaves a beautiful trail of powdery, woody incense-like jasmine, only SLIGHTLY sweet and very feminine and sophisticated. It's a perfume for an elegant, classy, confident woman, it will make you feel like an exotic queen of a far off land. It's very other-worldy smelling, makes me think of taking a walk on the moon and what that might smell like, haha. Or like the smell of freshly fallen snow...mmmm. Alien is a perfect name for this perfume and the purple bottle suits it perfectly. It's a very unique jasmine scent, you won't find anything else like it. But yes it is STRONG, TWO sprays will do (otherwise it will be sickening to you and those around you) and it will LAST you a whole day and a half, seriously! This has to be the longest lasting perfume I've ever tried!!! And the sillage is amazing. It's awesome....maybe not for everyone, but definitely for me!

Ahh Alien...two words "Two Sprays" that is all you'll need b/c it is strong! any more && your askign for a headache. Thierry Mugler is a master of interesting UNIQUE Scents, && Alien is deff. Out there!

I'd say anyone who wants to smell diff. should deff. give "Alien" a try it has great longevity & Projection like its sister && will deff. draw in the compliments. I'm sure it will smell amazing on the right person. I wish Thierry had made an Alien for Men, but I can proudly say I wear this sometimes && I surely get asked what are you wearing? Hey if you like it wear it, && if your interested try it!

BTW: Alien Sunessence (all of them) are also quite enjoyable give them a try to. :)

I didn't like this at first. However after taking home a tester and using it, I got so many compliments on it that I decided to buy a bottle. I'm so in love with it now! I think Angel is jealous that there is competition!

I prefer this too angel I think. It's the perfect combo of sweet and spicy, very interesting.

You either hate or love this perfume. I REALLY wanted to love this. The commercial, the beautiful purple bottle. but the moment I sprayed this on my wrist I felt sick. I tried smelling my wrist 30 minutes later again, to see if i liked it a bit better, but i didn't like it at all.

Alien what I am going to say about you sweetheart !
you are the one who completes me who melts with my body as a part of me :)

(UNIQUE)In this page you can read this word and believe it ..

I love the whole concept of this perfume , the bottle as a Precious jewel with magical talisman over it, fallen down from the planet of Thierry Mugler.

The scent is magical with the most Attractive & unexpected compo of Jasmine, Cashmere & white amber.

This has been made only for a woman who are full of confident & knows exactly what she wants, If it used on the wrong person I think the talisman will not work haha ;)

I love you alien .. Definitely you deserves to be my SIGNATURE SCENT ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I was expecting something "different" based on the reviews and the name, but I should have realized that because there are ONLY 3 notes in this perfume, that it would actually be quite simple.

It's nice, but it's just a bit simple for me. I can smell the jasmine, I can smell the woods, and I can smell the amber. And that's all there is to sniff!

I get a soft powdery floral on my skin. It's pleasant, but nothing ALIEN about it

Note to self:

- Buy a bottle of Alien ASAP!!!

I'm not sure why this isn't yet in my collection. GLARING OVERSIGHT!!! The Jasmine here is phenomenal!! I also just discovered that some counters have "filling stations" where a used up bottle can be refilled. Fabulous idea :o).

This is the most complimented frag in my collection. Simply THE BEST!!

Grape cool-aid anyone? The scent, the name, the bottle, everything about this and pretty much all T.Mugler creations is comming on like gangbusters, and I don't mean it in a positive way. Talk about complete lack of subtlety and sophistication. Even though it is strong it has bad lasting power. Just...terrible.

For me this fragrance is very appropriately named-- it does not smell like something that belongs on this world!
I really wanted to like this, it came in a really cool bottle, and after all i am a scifi buff so the idea of an 'alien' fragrance appealed to me, but alas it was not meant to be. As a huge fan of jasmine/amber scents I'm not sure why this doesn't appeal to me, but when i smell this something comes across as disturbing.
no offense to those that do enjoy it

Smells like Gabriela Sabatini by Gabriela Sabatini!
Only a little bit softer!

LOVE THIS...its smells so nice and floral.. a little spray goes a long way ..it is strong at first but does die down...I like it alot

Unbelievable longevity of the EDP. 15 hours and still smells pretty strong, Organza EDP faded away many hours ago... It smells kind of the same from the beginning till the end. I smell a mix of berries, like sweet juice of blackberry, black currant and even a hint of blueberry, all poured over jasmine flowers dipped in detergent. Clean powdery smell with fresh, sweet and sour fruits.

I loved it at first sniff....I thought it would be a complex potion with lots of notes, and I couldn't believe it when I read there's only 3 ...this fragrance is very well blended and balanced...

It is one of those perfumes one wears to crush the competition....it feels very fem, classy and sophisticated...I don't find it overwhelming in any way, but extremely chic and elegant, definitely not a floral fragrance for pinky girls...

I do have to say it is very linear, it stays pretty much the same on me from start to finish, but I like that it stays that way...I usually enjoy perfumes that morph and evolve, but this one is an exception to me...

Alien could have easily come out in 1985 instead of 2005 with its oriental floral powerhouse characteristics that were so in vogue back during the late '80's. Alien is similar on my skin to the original Poison('85) by Christan Dior. Like Poison, Alein has that jasmine wood base along with a mild incense and dry vanilla. I also get from both of the fragrances a note that gives off a grape like smell. I wear Alien mixed with Poison, and the combination is really nice. I love when someone will ask what I'm wearing when I have those two on, as I am always eager to tell them....A Purple Poisonous Alien, and that's the truth.

Side note: I second the opinion of Iris Iris down below with the perfect song choice used to describe Alien as being "Black Metallic" by Catherine Wheel.

This is my second time reviewing Alien. And I still love it, it makes me happy, the second it touched my skin I was smiling, energized, happy. Its a keeper.

This perfume is perfect and unique! It's different and strange like an alien, you can't confuse it.

Wonderful Perfume. I usually switch perfumes according to the seasons.I like a lilly of the valley,like Diorissimo or Pleasures Intense in the summer.In the fall into winter I like Halle, Cinnabar,Extra Ordinary, Mirada.For spring I like In Bloom.I was looking for a all season fragrance to make as a signature fragrance.ALIEN IS IT! This fragrance on me is perfect.It has woods and flowers and amber.When i wear it I am asked what I have on and everybody loves it.I kept comparing my other fragrances to this and there is no comparision. This is # 1.

I absolutely hate it. Its smell is so overpowering that it actually gives me a headache and makes me a little sick. I find it extremely tacky.

It is still a mystery to me how a perfume can only have 3 notes and smell really good, the bottle is phenomenal as well. I personally wouldn't buy it because I get bored fast, but it is a great perfume.

This is my favorite NOT discontinued perfume.
First, the packaging: a beautiful work of art that looks like a shard of an alien spaceship crashed to Earth. The bottle for Alien wholey embodies the marketing for this fragrance and is also very durable. I have the refillable 2 ounce bottle, which I appreciate.
The scent of Alien is amazing to say the least. There's really nothing even close to similar that I've found, and believe me, I've looked. Appropriate for any and all environments and occasions, this is definitely the most versatile fragrance I own. It seems to smell more expensive than it actually is, which says a lot considering the cost of this fragrance, but it's worth every penny. It is strong, but it can be worn during the day, seeing as how you won't need to apply it until you shower anyway. The lasting power of Alien is incredible because I still smell it on my laundry for at least the next day or two. However, it is not too heavy and will not give its wearer a headache.
Beautiful fragrance. Overall, this perfume get's a 10/10 from me.

Smells like aliens..the aliens are here!
Best perfume I've ever smelled.Enough said :)

Today for the first time I tried angel and alien together. My mum has womanity by Thierry Mugler and personally I find it really strong and metallic, nothing like a woman should smell like. So when I tried these, I was hesitant. I found Angel an old, rusty scent meant for older women like in their 35s or 40s. And I fell in love with Angel. Its everythign you look for in a fragrance. It starts of very cologne-ish andnstrong but it soon evolves into a sweet sugary (not the folral sugar type) hot mess. And by hot mess I mean a really nice hot mess. Its storng, but very eye catching and wonderful.

I am disapointed because if I didnt get a hint of menthol that immediately made me think of Ben Gay as soon as I sprayed it on- I feel I would really like it quite a bit.



I did not try it for so long because I was put off by the name and the bottle which may sound silly ,but just shows we all don't react the same to advertising and packaging etc.

Finally I just "had" to get a sample vial to try it,because it has so many good reviews here and I know many have it as a signature scent .
I can understand that--as I said if it wasnt for the menthol scent that lingered on me I can tell it is lovely .Im glad I finally sampled it .

Today I tried Alien for the first time: I spritzed it on my right wrist (on the other one I tried Angel), and the earliest notes were very strange and a little unplesant to me... they vaguely remind me the smell of a bug.
After few minutes the perfume become nicer, but I recognised the same style of the other Thierry Mugler's "great work of art": an annoying scent of artificial and synthetic components (thinking there are few natural notes is an illusion).
I know the fragrance of jasmine, and I can't feel any real jasmine in Alien... only a flavor which can remind jasmine's scent as a marshmellow can remind strawberry's taste.
Overall the scent is pleasant and well balanced, but I find it quite meaningless: certainly I wouldn't call it a magic elixir which spread mysterious aura.
What else... the bottle is a wonderful object.

UPDATE: the dry-down is disgusting! It seems to me a sweetesh, bad-quality aftershave... after 20 hours and a bath, I can still feel it on my wrist, it's more over-lasting than Angel!
How can I get rid of this stink?

I'm a man, and I proudly have it!! This is the most outstanding fragrance I've ever met, that's why I perfectly understand its name - ALIEN. I wore it on my Christmas Night, and I felt so comfortable and embranced in a Sambac and Amber cloud. Everybody loved Alien on me, even my mom, that usually doesn't like strong fragrances. Alien is very long lasting and has a crazy sillage, that doesn't offend anyone. My signature scent, and I love it!!! Easily worn by men.

update....wore today by this method ...one spray in air then walked through the mist ....i can still smell eight hours later .....this perfume like Dior poison is a stunning in moderation ....and MODERATION being the key and omg this will last forEVER..so all things considered value for money .
UPDATE AGAIN ...this perfume is strangely addictive !

I can appreciate Alien without even trying it - its bottle alone is quite stunning to behold. What hits my skin is another story. An eruption of synthetic, highly-concentrated (and oddly sour) jasmine, mixed with violet-like sweet notes, and all followed by a musky-woodsy drydown. To my nose, everything here smells blatantly synthetic, but that seems to be the artistic intention. I'm tempted to give Alien a thumbs down because of its aggressive chemical approach to flowers, but something about it tickles me. Alien smells sorta like someone took cheap French hooker perfume and shamelessly amplified its gaudiest elements - for posterity's sake! It is of the future, and I suppose in thirty years someone will exert themselves trying to update Alien. The result of that experiment could only be the smell of burnt flesh and shampoo musk, but there's time to enjoy this in the interim.

A SPECIAL GIFT FROM A SPECIAL LADY... SHE GIFTED ME WITH HER 60 ML BOTTLE AFTER A BRIEF TALK ABOUT MUGLER FRAGRANCES... IT BECAME OVERWHELMING TO HER IN A BAD WAY-SHE SAID WHEN SHE GAVE IT TO ME. WHAT CAN I SAY... I WAS PERPLEXED... THE BOTTLE IS AMAZING IN A QUITE IDENTICAL WAY HER GESTURE WAS...JUST LEFT ME WORDLESS, BREATHLESS, AMAZED

Have you ever wondered what would purple colour smell like? Like "Alien".

very unique perfume...got many compliments from people ...its perfect silage and it smells just like jasmine

I really like this! I think it has fantastic sillage and longevity but the perfume is well blended, feminine, and soft. As much as it projects it does not scream. It reminds me of the pretty smells of vintage face-powders.

1 week into Alien
At this point I am addicted. As for those who cant seem to handle nor tolerate it, maybe its the combined chemistry. So definitely happy that it seems to work well in my case : )

I just tried a sample of Alien and I don't really care for it. With the initial spray on my wrist, the first impression is a strong, sharp mothball odor. It dries to a mix of artificial synthetic flowers and powdery bug spray. In fact, it's giving me a headache only minutes after applying. With my chemistry reacting to it in this way, it's definitely not a perfume I'll wear again.

Terrible fragrance only jasmine. I hate it. Unfortunately: too many people who love it and wear it around me

ONE WORD ....S T R O N G !!!!!!!!!!!!!!..but i like it but would wear in colder months ..and one teeny tiny spray ...woodsy ,jasmine very nice with a spicy twist ..has sex appeal ...suit a confident strong women ........did a mention its STRONG!
update.. COZYCAT is right that spicy note does smell like mothballs ?

oh God how I hate it :( so strong and overwhelming :-( headache and all....no thank you Thierry as I love your Angels i hate your Aliens .

Oh my dear people,
Today I bought this from Dillard's. After trying J'adore L'Or at the counter, I had my mind set on purchasing it in few minutes after a stroll. As I walked around to see other things, the sales girl came with an Angel sachet and I told her that i would like to smell Alien instead( I had been wanting to for sometime).
Creamy,Soft, slightly spicy, decadent and very other worldly. I have never smelled another perfume of the sort.
The only other of its kind, that i can recall is the strong deep aristocratic fragrance that hits your nose as you enter Gold Jewelry Stores in Kerala, India.
I will disagree with anyone who says that its just a bunch of jasmine, it definitely is not, unless its one that has been dipped, and is dripping with a few other exotic things...
When i Got outside where it's 40-50 degree Fahrenheit, i smelled something so fantastic and I looked around to see whom it was and i realized that it is no one other than my Alien self :) cheers!

Alien made me act like an alien. Not just me but even my gorgeous friend acted like an alien too. Why?

The two of us met in a cafe, I gave her a 20ml. Alien decant as my Christmas gift for her. She has no idea what Alien is all about. She have lots of well known perfumes here but Thierry Muglers frags, shes not aware of.
So I told her Merry Christmas in advance, gave her the bottle and sprayed it lightly on her wrist. She sniff, I sniff, she said, its strong but unique. I said, its alien, aliens are strong and more powerful than humans. She sniff, I sniff, I said, now you feel the alien coming into you, she said it is still too strong for me but you're so sweet. I said, aliens have lasting strength lol
Then I told her, guess what, I have a tiny vial of Angel for women, so I sprayed it on my wrist, she sniff, I sniff, she said, wow so strong, so divine and creamy. I told her Angels are strong and heaven is a creamy place lol She loved it at first sniff. I was afraid she might ask to own my tiny Angel as well, but she didn't although I read her mind as if salivating to have it. Just like the "Aliens" in the movies lol
So we kept sniffing both fragrances, I sniff on her she sniff on me, until later she sniff her wrist again and began appreciating Alien in her skin, its so sexy, elegant, unique, exquisite. I sniff on her and was glad she loved Alien already. She sniff on me, wearing Angel for women and I saw her face like an Alien, still salivating to have my Angel. Then I told her, I think we better have dinner than act like aliens, sniffing each other like crazy.
These may all be just a case of "starvation" after all and People around us, I said, have been watching us and wondering..look at those two nerds! lol
We laughed and enjoyed our friendship... but sniffing continues as we ate dinner elsewhere lol
Hours later, im home, she texted me, she sniffing, can still smell Alien, long lasting and wonderful fragrance. She said she will use it on Christmas Eve and I said, whenever you receive compliments using Alien, tell them "I come in Peace" lmao...

Alien, at my opinion, is a very sexy, masculine and outstanding perfume. It surrounds you with a warm and sweet wave of jasmine, sandal and amber...It is so cousy and heartwarming. I think that, side-by-side with OPIUM this is the sexiest perfume of the world...it has a huge magnetism!!!
Alien has huge a sillage and a very good longevity on clothes and on skin. If you don't know ALIEN, try it!! It wont let you down!!!!

I was disappointed in this fragrance. I didn't notice anything really different or "alien" about it. I'd much rather wear another Thierry Mugler fragrance.

Synthetic, plastic, toilet cleaner, a horrid fragrance.

I had a sample of this. I smelled nice at first, after a while it reminded me of cheap drugstore parfume. I can see why people lik this, but in my experience.. there is something in it that makes it cheap/drugstore/plasticy. Just one thing..

Love it! I think this fragrance belongs in a class all it's own. I have Womanity too and they both are exceptional scents. Alien last a long time and soothes my soul.

*LOVE* this on my missus.

Perfect balance of Chinese and Indian Jasmines in the top and heart notes, with a slight, verdant, steamy green tea note. Very slight - perhaps its the change of notes in the top that gives this impression. Sweet and sweeter still drying down, but never cloying, with the blossoms opening further the more the fragrance progresses, becoming darker, weirder, more "divine", and just as it reaches the verge of too sweet, cloying, wilting, decaying, and CD Poison-like potency, the softer woody-musk backbone kicks in, stiffens up, and gives the burgeoning Jasmine-Orange Blossom (not neroli!) Monster a slap on the behind, putting it in its place JUST BEFORE it actually puts a toes out of line.

The best way to do Alien is using the body products, if you can get them at a reasonable price. My missus has the bath oil (I think) and the cream, and therefore doesn't NEED to use more than 5 or 6 sprays over skin and clothing and she smells divine all night.

MY LOVE! if only she wasn't so expensive :(

I love this perfume, get complimented on it all the time. just shows how the same perfume can smell different on different people.

I'm not sure I hate or like this one..
It has some very pretty notes but when I tried it on a couple of times, the smell was very plastic..:(
I rather buy some cheap drugstore perfumes then this plastic expensive one..

I thought I'd try this one again but I'm afraid, it's still bug spray on me. Tough to wash off, too.

Perfect perfume

I honestly dont know how to review a perfume, all I can say is that I am in love, today is the first day that I have actually used Alien on my skin and although I loved it from the first time I sniffed it on paper, I love it even more now.

The beginning actually smells like Raid bug spray on me. Not sure I'm going to make it much longer before I scrub...
edit: I have discovered the prodigy body lotion smells divine on me, presumably the way the perfume is supposed to smell. Sort of like a cross between a grape lolly pop and jasmine. Maybe I'll give the edp one more chance.

It is a perfume "divine" that takes you in the garden blooming with lots of flowers and spice, persist on the skin and clothes all day for several days, is a magic!

Best winter comforting scent ever!!! love it

This is my second review of this perfume. My tastes have evolved pretty drastically over the past year. I thought I'd give Alien another shot since I still have a full manufacturer's tester. My oh my, how my perception has changed since my first test a year ago. Last year the only note I got was wet, moldy, potting soil. Now I smell heaps and heaps of jasmine--ethereal clouds of jasmine--where I smelled none before. Amazing. The first time I smelled this, I couldn't stand the sourness on my skin. Now I think it's beautiful and fresh, maybe even breathtaking. I just love Thierry Mugler's creations. There's no House like his.

BEAUTY , A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY, IT IS NOT HEAVY AND LINGERS FOR A LONG TIME, A GOOD DIFF JASMINE PERFUME,

In my skin is a jasmin bomb!! In th epaper strip is a lot more refreshing, more beach-y, on my wrist is VERY floral, then on the dry down the woods make it a bit more serious. I really like it, but this one needs to be deffinitelly tested on skin before buying!

Edit: I am loving this for the winter!

I received a sample, so I'm willing to review it again based on also skin test. Still I find the scent quite intrusive and it's not my type of scent. The Jasmin is strong. It's a very sweet flowery scent that lasts on me around 3 hours. I perceive it as a strong scent while it lasts. But still I find it too intrusive and too bothering.

"Whoa!!" - This is the first thing that came to mind with Alien. The beginning is, quite frankly, too much. Too much sweet, too much strength. Thank goodness it starts to mellow out pretty quickly. It has been said that less is more, and this scent is a perfect example. Although there are only 3 notes listed, it smells like there is so much more. The Jasmine is definitely the leader of the pack, though it gets softer as time goes on(thank goodness). At the moment, this is not an everyday scent for me even if applied with a light hand. This is more of a special occasion scent.

EDIT: About 2 hours later, it was at a level I really liked for an everyday level. At 3.5 hours, it was gone. And I do mean GONE. I couldn't catch a whiff even if I stuck my wrist right up against my nose. It's still nice if used lightly, so this will stay in my Special Occasion category.

Alien is the new Angel ! Time will show it, sales will show it, people will wear it more and more . In the end we'll have to give it up because everyone around will smell of Alien ... and we will secretely return to it, a guilty pleasure !

There's something very 80's in "Alien".
It is a jasmine perfume with the character of gardenia! It is on this peculiar mutation where its extraterrestrial charm lies.
As a smell it is luminous and radiant, but, with a vibration.
Its meticulously fostered sensuality however, does not have the animalic quality of gardenia. It is more I'd say "scientific", something to be studied.
Compared to "Angel" it is more self-explanatory but still doesn't share much with the wearer. It sits on top of everything (this is its 80's element), flashing like a beacon!
Personally I don't like "Alien", and if you haven't smelled it yet, imagine a mixture of the first "Poison" with bits and bytes of "Giorgio" inbetween.
As a smell and a seduction weapon "Poison" still has the edge (spray both and ask a stranger, you'll see I'm right), but I can understand it's very hard to resist a temptation that's out of this world. ;-)
I find the name and the bottle a bit silly in a childish way..

Very-very unique fragrance. In the first breath, the jasmine takes you to another world. You can not escape from there. No other fragrance like Alien. It’s a bit strong, so be care if u use it, but it’s a very-very good choice if you go to an evening program, you want to be in the middle, and u want show yourself. (But if you like softer scent, try Angel from Thierry Mugler.)

Uniqueness: 9/10
Erotica: 7/10
How i like it: 7/10

Good for a first date? For an evening walk, look at the stars perfect one! For other programs choose an other one.

Intoxicating, rich, sexy. I woudn't recommend it for hot days. It's a heavy smell and if you don't pay attention to the quantity, it may become untolerable. However, it is a deep and unique smell that lasts for a long long time..

i don't like it at all,it gives me a headache.

Thank God I gave this a chance on my skin, because my impression of Alien on paper was rather sub-par.

Despite the purple color (my favorite color), Alien isn't really purple in the least. It's more of a white floral with touches of green. At the beginning it hints towards a synthetic "purple" luminescence, but before my lips can form "Oh shit, hairspray", the fragrance smooths itself out. It's strong, but the jasmine here is very accessible and not indolic at all, whatsoever. In fact, the jasmine pretty much poops out in the first 15 minutes, and while the white florals do remain, some woods come in and help to spotlight the star of the show... coumarin. And I'm not talking about just any pretty little coumarin. This is a grassy, earthy coumarin that I've smelled in Under the Arbor by C.B. I Hate Perfume. This coumarin evokes the smell of newly-mown hay, AND the smell of grass on a humid summer evening. That's why I liked Under the Arbor so much - the grassy coumarin smell instantly triggered memories in my mind, of the Pennsylvania countryside on a warm evening. I'd love to have that smell follow me through the winter, so I can smell it as much as possible. However, Under the Arbor is linear and weak. Alien keeps going and going, and spices that heavenly coumarin accord up a bit. Alien garnishes that coumarin accord with the sparkle of green salicylates as well. That being said, I can only point out the obvious here - Alien is anything BUT extraterrestrial. It smells earthly and warm, like one of us. Alien is warm-blooded and friendly.

Would I buy a bottle? I'm not quite sure yet. I need to spend some more time with Alien. So far, however, it's getting all positives from me. When it comes to summer smells, we all love a little citrus, some salty oceanic notes, maybe a pina colada, or some neroli. Alien eschews MY kind of summer - the green, rolling hills of the Pennsylvania countryside in late June. And, wouldn't you know it, I found that smell in a Thierry Mugler fragrance, of all places. A fragrance, ironically, named "Alien".

I learned a lesson this evening. Don't judge a book by its cover, especially in the fragrance world.

Great perfume! Perfume that holds up! Complex fragrance, original, elegant and yet - fresh and good. This fragrance blends well with my body chemistry! Too bad it is expensive! I am addicted to it but uses it mainly in the evenings and during the winter! Try not to waste a lot of it!

agree..its unique and very nice fragrance...love it

unique , the best fragrance

Once upon a time I was in love in Alien, testing it for the first (and second, and third) time made me feel like I was being wrapped in an unworldly, luxuriant blanket of soft, velvety jasmine petals...and for a long time I longed for the day when I could own it and call it my scent. After finally purchasing it, the love turned to hate within a short month and just 5 wears. It started to feel heavy on me, too heavy, even when it's cold outside, the once velvety jasmine blanket now hangs around me like a persistent claustrophobic cloud, making me feel anxious and depressed. It's like a psycho-stalker, obsessive ex-boyfriend whom you thought was extremely charming before you got into a relationship with him. You're not the perfume I thought you were, Alien. I really tried...I couldn't believe I was starting to despise it at first, I actually had to force myself to wear it the last couple of times, as if in denial of my growing hatred for it. It became obnoxious on my skin, the first few hours would smell like jasmine-scented bugspray, toxic and suffocating. The bugspray aroma softens into an artificial and equally toxic sort of sweetness. Evocative of mothballs, aspartame-laced mothballs to be exact. Blech. The funny thing is nobody else smelled what I was smelling, making it all the more frustrating...my mother would ask me what I was wearing that smelled so beautiful and elegant. I ended up giving her my bottle. She smells good in Alien, very regal like a queen, and got showered with compliments from her group of friends, telling her it's the best perfume they've ever smelled on her and each wanting to try a spritz (the whole guest room reeked of Alien for a couple days after that night lol). I just hate having to smell it for long periods of time, my nose won't tolerate it.

Is a very good one.

EDP: The opening is ATOMIC! The top notes got stuck in my nose drills for 15 minutes or so. I couldn't smell anything but the ALIEN bombastic top notes. After half an hour, it calmed leaving a mellow ambery woods with a faint floral touch. I didn't find it exclusively feminine, except for opening which is FATAL.

I still want to buy it. I'm just waiting for the right moment because I bought Angel and its scent is delicious. I do love Thierry Mugler's frangrances

I detest Angel (I think it smells like body odor), but I really do like Alien a lot. It's complex, feminine, and different. However, it tends to give me a headache (especially if I put it on right before getting into a car), so I don't wear it often. Looking for another distinctive, warm and a little spicy but not old-lady perfume, I found Hermes Eau des Merveilles and while it's very different from Alien (not a night perfume), I love it. For night, I guess I'll just stick with Stella for now.

It's really subtle on me, melds with my skin and lasts for quite long.
I'm not sure what Mugler aimed for - the smell of a beauitul alien's skin, perhaps?
Because there is something that translates into a little powder, a hint of rubber (latex) or plastic that doesn't bother - but adds another dimension to the scent which is basically a skin scent. It can only smelled with the nose an inch or so from the skin.
Anyway, it's very comfortable and still a bit peculiar at the same time. Interesting.

I was NOT expecting this. After being terrified of Mugler with Angel, I was nervous to try this. What an AMAZING floral concoction. It smells AMAZING and one spray is all you need - it lasts ALL day. I truly did not see this one coming from him. I am a white floral fan and this is spot on! I thought I would get another patchouli mess. Kudos to you Mr. Mugler! What a fantastic far cry from Angel and Womanity.

I've been so curious about this perfume, but it's way too expensive to risk a blind buy..
Finally I found a store that actually has it and tested it today.
well.. it's good. Very good. But to me it's in no way spectacular or unique or outrageous about it that justifies all the rave.
It's not bad on me, but my skin seems to eat up all the spectacular-ness and just make it an in-your-face, slightly bitter, somewhat cold scent that oddly enough reminds me of Rive Gauche. Chemistry is a weird thing, isn't it!
If I bought it, I know it would sit unused 95% of the time.

My mum got this for me. It's a really interesting scent, although it can be quite strong. At first I didn't like it much (it felt stifling when I was in a car) but suddenly a day or two later when I tried it again I really really liked it! I've been complimented on it by someone I don't know, too.
Oh, and I like how the bottle looks like some retrofuture alien device.

I have a tiny travel size of this and Ive had it for over a year- it's very strong, and def for women- not going to smell this at your local high school, but I looove it in very small doses, like on a scarf after a day, it smells amazing. Get compllliments every time I wear but only from women, lol, I think this scent is a tad overpowing, but occasionally, I like to be overpowering, so I do like it quite a lot, but it is def not an everyday type of scent.

Tried this on at the mall while out with a friend. I walked up to my friend and she said, "OMG you reek! What perfume did you put on??" it was horrible. the lady at the Lancome counter sprayed some alcohol on me so I could try to get the smell off. It was not good.

smell is very pleasant and strong, it lasts all day.

This perfume is to strong and smells to much of jasmine. All I get is headache and nausea.

I like this perfume a lot an always wanted to wear it, but it smells like a person I really despise. I get so sad that I can’t wear it. So one day I was shopping and Entered “Ajmal” perfume store in the gulf, they sell oriental perfumes with Oud and so, and they also sell some a bit Frenchy perfumes. So I saw this nice squared royal purple bottle and asked to smell it. It was exactly Alien, no wonder it’s also purple. So I got it . atleast am not wearing Aline that I can’t unfortunately wear. Its called Sacrifice by Ajmal. N its only 20$ and last as much as Alien.

Alien is a compliment getter. Everytime I wear this, people ask: who is smelling so good? Oh it's you! What perfume are you wearing? WHAT? Thierry Mugler? :o

People are so typical when it's not a chanel or fruity floral safe scent. And when they hear: thierry mugler they make a face. But when they smell this stuff without knowing, they are fascinated by it.

That's what I love about Alien. It's different but still very wearable. Unlike Angel, not everyone wears this and recognizes it. It's still a unique fragrance.

I love the bottle design and especially the name Alien. What are you wearing? Oh, Alien. Love that. I'm a weirdo for names like Poison, Eden, Alien or Angel.

Smells like jasmine and vanilla. I'm in love with jasmine. It makes me feel like an exotic princess.. which i'm not (being white and blond) but I love the thought of being that once in a while.

Easy to wear but still appropriate for special occasions. Lasting power (I have the EDT sadly enough) is not that good, but the EDP is. Spend a little more money and you'll be very happy.

I received a nice size sample of this at the mall this weekend. I'm wearing it for the first time today, and at first spray really disliked it. Sharp, bitter bitter jasmine. blegh! About 25 minutes in, the jasmine has toned down a lot, and I guess it's okay. Softer more tolerable jasmine with woody notes and amber. Not worth it IMO.

First part: bitter jasmine tea leaves
Last part: jasmine tea in a cup with sweet n' low

I am not exactly sure what it is about this fragrance that I adore so much but nonetheless I adore it! Maybe it's the fact that I am a jasmine lover and the woody and oriental notes are perfectly harmonized witht he jasmine in this potion. It smells really intoxicating, warm as well as bold and I love the lasting power too. It's pretty much unforgettable when you put it on and wear it. I put it on yesterday at the bay and loved it instantly. I wore it all day and I still smelled it well before going to bed....then in the morning when I woke up I still smelled it. I thought amazing! I was like awesome, 'that's my kind of fragrance'. It's definitely sensual, warm and mysterious in the fact that you can't pinpoint what it is that you really love about it so much. It's also definitely unique in how it smells and the long lasting power alone is also unique I think when compared to so many other fragrances. I was very impressed with this fragrance initially a few years back and I am finally buying a bottle this fall after testing it out again and being remined of how much I still love it. :) :) :) All I can say in conclusion is yummy yummy lol.

It's a fragrance that is really interesting, well done and makes an impression. Unfortunately, I'm absolutely not Mugler's fan, Mugler's creations don't match my personality.

A huge dose of powerful jasmine and patchouli. Patchouli is basement-like or it's better to write - soil-like. So I have an image of jasmine lying on a dirty soil/ground, trampled, a bit faded...Remember Guns'n'roses and "November Rain"? so a similar scene with flowers but Alien is much more dangerous and dark. And the scent is heavy, long lasting. Too sad. Good for rainy days if you like.

Not my cup of tea really... so is the bottle.

My sister for some reason decided to give me this perfume for my birthday. I love perfume - so I added it to my collection and carried on. The bottle is SO beautiful! And I was really captivated. I really wanted to LOVE it. Just picking up the bottle made thnk of weird alien sex! LMAO... just kidding. But from the first spray - I wanted to wash it off. I am on of those people thou - who stare at their perfume and think - what will I wear today? Grab spray and run out the door. Needless to say - I had to wear it all day. Well EVERY man LOVED this scent; and asked me what I had on. Every woman looked at me oddly. And my friends told me I smelled like an exoctic dancer. I had to see if this was a fluke so I waited until I was going to another office wore the perfume again - EVERY man loved it and once again every woman gave me the eye..... I CAN NOT STAND IT!!!! MY BOYFRIEND WANTS ME TO WEAR IT EVERY TIME WE GO OUT! So there you have it..... I not gonna throw it out.... And if I was single... I would were this baby out every time I went out. LOL...

Sorry. I can only mix metaphors to account for Alien. Its topnotes (approx 2 hours) are like shrieking guitar feedback. The drydown (the remaining 2-3 days) is like snorting artificial sweetener.

I soo wanted to like this, was looking for a new oriental scent, descriptions sounded great. I was very pleased for the first 10 minuites of wearing this perfume, lovely spicy notes, then it turned, urgh,left a really strong unpleasant scent behind, had to wash to remove it, however it still exists! so strong, I think this is what you call here 'sillage'? like another reader;this perfume reminded me of an 80's scent my sister had and I hated that also. I'm thinking it is the amber that I dislike? Theres also a givency perfume with similar notes but not as strong.I'm glad I only bought a 5ml trial of this.

why am I so weird about this fragrance :( I dont know if I like it or not..When I first smelled it came to me like an old perfume from the early 80s :) A few days ago I tried it again and I fell in love with Alien. I cannot decide if I should buy it or not. Its like a hate and love relationship with :) I m afraid that I will buy it and then never use..I am not a person who can wear too strong and heavy perfumes, however this one cames sometimes too heavy and sometimes very soft to my nose..really complex :)

First I fell in love with this bottle. So mysterious and unexpected solution for a perfume bottle. Then I tried this- at first, I got some very sweet, soft floral scent, then vanilla and then woody notes. I like the top notes better than the first scent I get.
Unique, a bit masculine scent. I ordered this today, will see...

I was hoping so much to like it because it keeps popping up along all my other faves, but all I got from it was old cat lady that wears fussy dresses and hats. It's not sexy or mysterious or fantasy-like. It's a LOT of jasmine and just way too much fussy, flowery old lady. On to my next quest to find a good one! :)

In space no one can hear you scream.

The bottle is beautiful.

Im on the verge of loving this one. I actually bought the full sized liqueur de parfum first and then a small spray of this. And so far 3 sprays on.. i think it s a simple scent but a masterpieve nonetheless. The ingredients blend so...harmonious isnt the right word. But perhaps seamlessly. I would disagree with tankgirl though i can see from her point of view and greatly respect her reviews. I would say it s a sensual fragrance indeed, but not one that conjure up the warm sensual feeling but a cold sharp slightly sexual sensuality. This is incredibly sweet in its floral concentration, the most potent deterrent to jasmine haters. The cedar comes out strong in its intial 1 hr blast, mixed in with jasmine, it has a smoked woody jasmine touch to it, as it blends into your skin, the jasmine slowly reveal it s gentler side, a creamier warmer jasmine with just a light dusting of sugar. Those are the moments i wait for. Longevity is excellent. Projection excellent.

I love this perfume. It is a very sensual fragrance for use in the coldest days and nights to go out with a lover.

Hello everyone, if I told you I like Alien leg ...... well not be the best to tell, one day I went to a bar for a coffee and while I poured the bag of sugar in the cup, I empty the bag ran away from his hand and ended up on the ground, and beside him was pictured with a sachet scent of Alien ... I instinctively took the bag to his nose and although it was now empty, I was hit by a very warm and fragrant sensual
(I think could compete with J'adore Dior ... but that's just my feeling) is one of those smells that enter the database of the brain and hardly felt when we forget it ...
A few days ago I went for some shopping at discount (the discount is near the bar where I found Alien, but there is no perfume in the area) Well when I got home I started to feel a smell that was somehow familiar, in short coming from under my shoes and he was still * Alien *, i could not believe it: a scent that is supposed to represent something beyond the earth to find it by 2 times to the ground (you should use the trash cans)
It's been 10 days but Alien was in love with my shoes.
Fascinating and mysterious, very good.

A gothic Jekyll and Hyde perfume, some days it exudes purple mystic charm and other days it screeches like a banshee. Tremendous individuality and sillage to die for. It's like a masked ball, it whisks me into an unpredictably weird bewitching noir sensual experience. Poison is reborn in a new avatar for a new century, amazing.

Just imagine Samsara forsaking her vow to be harmonious and stealing off into the woods, stopping at nothing to hunt down and vanquish her lover's killer. She would smell like this in the heat of action.

Sublimely feminine yet brutal, lofty, and strong, like Luis Royo's fantasy art beast-slaying seductresses (esp. the ones in white).

There's SO MUCH WOOD in this, i cant even explain it, its like literally INHALING WOOD. Hot, hot wood. This perfume really has the ability to warm you in winter weather. It does something to the pressures in my head that i find offensively inappropriate in any temperature above 45F. BUT:: it is ABSOLUTELY elegant, feminine and caressing in the coldest of winter.

It's a perfume that wears YOU, not the other way around, there's no two-ways about it. It's a choice that you cant turn your back on. When you choose the path, walk it with resolution, elegance, and grace (like the beast-slaying beauties). It's NOT easy to scrub off!!!

A disappointment. I expected something else from a bottle that unique. Purple colour does definitely not represent well the smell for me. White would be better in my point of view.

I tried it directly on my skin without testing on paper. The jasmine was OK, but something there made it smell rather generic, even boring (a bit of sweet "niceness"). And something there is also too synthetic for me. Not like the violet warrior at all.

Hmmm... not sure how to put it in words.

This is a lovely smell. Flowery and rather delicate, sweet and sublime. It may have a nice bouquet, but it certainly lacks depth.

Some say it is bliss... yes, but how long can one smell pure bliss, and sweetness?

I would say, it is not a very complex composition. Nonetheless, very enjoyable, indeed (in the short run).

I love this perfume. I have just bought a second bottle after the first one finished. So you can imagine how much i love the fragrance. A colleague of mine actually comes to my office every morning to check if i used the perfume bcos he loves it so much.

My husband sure found Alien sexy on me! It all comes down to personal taste and chemistry, your idea of sexy may not be my idea of sexy and what smells sexy on me may smell like bugspray on you...

It feels quite frustrating when I read reviews saying that Alien is a very sensual fragrance and that was made for sexy women and blablabla! I mean...I'm not saying that the persons who have that idea of Alien are wrong but well, by reading the reviews you imediatly think about a hubber sexy perfume, with dark woody undertones and a sweet ambery drydown (like le baiser du dragon or perhaps cabochard or femme rochas), and then when you actually smell Alien (induced by the reviews) the result is just: nhe.
I dont know if its my nose, or the wether or my skin but Alien just smells like those pieces of wood brought by the winter sea tide, mixed with a slightly pissy jasmin.
I learned to like it and I actually wear it a lot but hey, if you are going to buy it blind, a warning for you:THIS IS NOT SEXY, Alien is the perfect perfume for casual occasions like uhhm "im out of shower and i've no idea what perfume to use" or "its casual friday at the office, lets put some perfume that just goes with a white shirt".
I guess Mugler called this perfume Alien because of our idea of an Alien: clean, modern, syntethic, souless, white...
Well Alien is just like that, try before buy!

I tried this is the States this spring, and I was bought instantly! It will be my signature fragrance, I just still haven't bought it, because 1. I have 20+ still to use, and 2. being pregnant is not the ideal time for this. BEST BEST BEST EVER!

Alien has been my signature fragrance ever since I discovered it. It's absolutely divine and fits my personality perfectly. I would describe it as a very sensual, mysterious and deep scent. Not many can pull it off because it's more of the Femme Fatale type of perfume. Just a tiny amount of it lasts for a very long time.
Alien truly feels like out of this world - the scent is different and has this dark seduction vibe around it that is exactly what I'm looking for in my perfumes.

This perfume to me is a lovely smooth sensual smell like cashmire it is not a sharp agressive over bearing smell when sprayed correctly that is, so for me the bottle and the advertisement do not match the juice inside. I would expect a much more heavy, sharp, unusual fragrance to come from an alien inspired bottle and add. I don't believe in Aliens but I love the concept of them for sci fi purposes but this perfume is just too mild and musky. Mitsuku or Habanita I would think or even Elephant would smell more like the alien concept not the smell that you get here. This is a very soft smell. Angel I think is more agressive and dry and powdery. Having said all of the above, I think this lasts well and you can get so many nice products in the range and the little minis are gorgeous. The price is afordable too and they are available everywhere one thing I cannot stand is when you like a perfume but it is too difficult to find. This is an opinion I have developed over time I never paid attention to the packaging but now that I have sniffed so many perfumes this one is just ordinary to me and does not fit the extra terestrial concept. The bottle is nice and very original. The smell however, needs a little umph. This also reminds me a little of JPG Classique. Just a little!! :)

not a modest scent :p not for the shy and calm in nature. when i smell it frm the bottle i thought "amazing". but then i tried in my skin, cant stand it more than 1 hour, too heavy for my taste :(

This totally smells like Joop! Joop! Homme!!! I'm so glad someone else out there in the world agrees :)

I got this perfume a long time ago and I still love it and put it on once in a while

A surprise love for me! Angel and I are struggling with our relationship so I wasn't sure that Alien (her relative) and I would get along. BUT - we love each other. Fab fragrance!

a very nice scent!! i notice woodsy notes and jasmine the most.. it really is sort of supernatural! if e.t. would smell nice, this is probably what he would smell of ;O) it's probably best for winter and fall sort of heart-warming. it's great, if you like earthy/woody fragrances, you gotta try this!! 10 out of 10.

im a man, and after testing this perfume on my skin, i juz fall in luv with it, ordering 1 bottle and cat wait till the day get it, luv the scent

When i first smelt this i wasn't sure but after the initial smell calms down, i have to say i absolutely love it, maybe it's my skin reaction but it smells delicious, my hubby loves it too!

I just have seen The Fifth Element and this is the only scent I would recommend for Leeloo. She's an Alien herself and Alien is just as perfect as Leeloo is.

A dead ringer for JOOP! Homme - I had flashbacks from my teenage years and first love :) Very in-your-face sweet but also very intriguing and mysterious. Something for a big night out or, very very sparingly applied, for a rendezvous ;)

I loved this scent from the very beginning. It's powerful and somehow a lot of men are attracted to it. I always get compliments when i wear it.

When I used to go out a lot, I always wore this scent. It has a massive staying-power and somehow a lot of men are attracted by it. But a lot of women feel the same way about this scent and there was a period where you could literarly smell it everywhere on anyone. Young, old, any woman was wearing this.
I got turned off by it.

I think that I have luckily the right body chemistry for this fragrance because I get a strong and very pleasant flower scent(used a sample of EDP). Like it a lot.

This scent is horrible, all i can smell is a very sharp unusual jasmine. Don't know how any man could get turned on by this scent...i'd spray it on aliens not myself though.

Yes I found a lot of mint fragrance that I don't prefer.

Creepy model, creepy perfume. It smells like the jasmine petals transformed into fingers to StRaNgLe my nose.

really fantastic scent! On me i like very much ,so strong jasmin+magnific woody note,very deep,very dark, but unfortunataly I had immediatly reaction of allergy (intensive prurite of crane :( ) when I tested it in store ,so I think it's a dangerous perfume for very sensitive people!!! Be carefoul !

I like this perfume. It goes great with my bodychemistry. And I love stronger scents. I dont spray to much on me so other people will not get offended by it. I also have the summer edition edt 2011 if you want to try a lighter version of Alien i can recomend it.

Does anyone else think this smells like Lou Lou by Cacharel? I could'nt wait to try this, what a disappointment.. way too flowery and overpowering!

This smell is nothing different, whereas Angel is.

Alien is average, medium, ok, not bad

Nothing sexy or different here

Not worth the money

I smell coconut in this... surprised that it isn't one of the notes!

I own Alien, and I believe it is a great scent. In addition, it is a unique scent unlike any other. However, it is a fragrance that I have to be in a specific mood to want to wear it.

Alien can be worn a young person or a more mature person-- it is universal. It can also be worn by a man.

Since i red a lot of raving reviews about this perfume and since i am still on a quest to find my perfect Jasmine perfume, i ordered a sample.
To be quite honoust...as a Jasmine addict, i really don't understand why people love this scent so much...
Eventhough Jasmine should be the top note, i don't detect the true Jasmine scent in this perfume.
To me this composition is not what Jasmine should be about, this perfume is way more sweet and floral then an (almost) soliflore Jasmine perfume should be..
I actually feel the urge to wash the scent off..
Now i know that every person has his or her own interpretation of what a true Jasmine perfume should smell like..but for me, this is not mine.
I will continue my search for a perfume like Flying Fox or Godiva from the Lush, untill then i settle for a combination of Serge Lutens a la Nuit and Lust from Lush.

I totally do not understand this fragrance. On my skin, it is a violently screaming, axe weilding, suffocating floral, that is shamefully "calmed" by a screech of nail polish remover that slaps you in the face every time you attempt questioning the florals. I threw my 2ml sample away, to keep my husband from divorcing me. He said it made him sick. And, he loves heavy scents on me like Opium, Obsession, and even Passion.

Alien is very popular where I live, almost everyone I know has a bottle. Its my favorite purple perfume and I've never smelt anything quite like it before. I don't wear it as much anymore because its so common but I still love it. Its definitely a modern classic.

This my favorite fragrance of all time!! If you looking for a husband or boyfriend this the Fragrance to wear.It attracts men like bees.It smell so good and super sexy.This is the best for date and clubs or sexy nite with a special someone.

I sprayed this perfume on a tester sheet last week sometime and I can still smell it on the sheet today! That is how good the longevity is.. If you want a perfume that is beautiful with high silage and longevity, then I highly recommend ALIEN.. It won't disappoint..

I agree on the menthol with geekgoddess, BUT the drydown on this is AWESOME!!! I love Alien!

I wore a sample I got the other day, but I'll be getting a full bottle soon. I can tolerate the menthol for a little bit if the outcome will always be as beautiful as it was with this sample!!!

I love this scent so, so much! Creamy vanilla jasmine.. This. is. beautiful. and. I. love. it. This is just the most perfect fragrance... It's all I've ever wanted.. I've dreamt of smelling like this ever since I became interested in fragrance - it's as if Alien were made for me! Alas, it is too expensive & i'll just have to buy the EDT, which is also beautiful, but still merely a shadow of the wondrous composition that is Alien.

I used to think I didn't like Alien. I thought I preferred the EDT. However, that is because in every single store I went to the tester was always EMPTY & I think I was just smelling the metal sprayer!!

It would be my dream to own Alien & ALL of its flankers. That way i'd never have to buy any other perfume.

I wanted to like this one, but it smells disgusting on me. Cough syrup + menthol is the best way to describe it. Love the bottle though.

Waiting patiently to finally own a bottle of this beautiful scent..

I tested this perfume only recently...strangely I didn't want to, because it was so popular,I was afraid of being disappointed, and above all I think that the bottle is very ugly... reminds me of Dark Vador...
Finally I tested it because I was given a sample. What a surprise! I can smell mint, and some kind of organic medecine I was given as a child when I had a cold...eucalyptus? Other plants?
Soon other notes develop... jasmine for sure! I have always been a jasmine lover. But it is not pure jasmine! In the South of France I have smelt pure jasmine. Though I love the combination of aromatic notes and jasmine.
When it dries down I can smell much sweeter and comforting notes, really enticing, sensual... i usually don't like woody fragrances, but I 'm not disturbed by the woody notes in that perfume. And amber! So wonderful!
I have never smelled anything like that!

Dichotomy! (if that makes any sense in english). Sensual and yet soothing...absolutely amazing!!!

I rated this as a "dislike" with mixed feelings--it was more wearable than Sunessence Ambre D'Or because it wasn't AS dusty and powdery, and it had no kiwi. But it was still too dry and powdery for my taste. The very end of the drydown was nice, but I guess I just can't wear Alien or its flankers. I suppose I'm an Angel lady.

this is my absolute favourite perfume ever. i love this to death. it is very seductive and attrictive without beeing neither too mature nor too girly. i think it is well balanced and it lasts all day long. i get so many compliments when i am wearing it from both genders. it is my signiture for years and i think it will always be. my boyfriend likes all of my perfumes but this is the only one he loves. when i am getting a new perfume and he smells it he just says: this is really good, but it is not alien.

Woody jasmine and some mint. I find it beautiful.

one of my favorire fragrances.it's perfect.

I thing this is a master piece in terms of perfume if i had to choose just a word to translate it , would be UNIQUE, it is woodsy and sweet at the same time, it's misterious , perfect for the night time . Be careful it might be a little bit overwelming if you put too much , I think it is unbearable for the summer I would recomend it just for the winter.

I really do Enjoy this frangrance. Wore it a few years back. Alien is soo mysterious and seductive, nothing like I've smelled before. One of my favorite Thierry mugler scents!!! followed by Angel Innocent. I might have to re-introduce this to my collection. I have to wait a couple of years before I can re-wear the same scent again after finishing a bottle. I think its been enough time now, and i do miss it and really enjoy it.

VERY strong, but quite unique. I love it, but I don't have the chutzpah to wear such a strong, bold scent. If you want to be noticed and not blend in, this is a good choice.

I get Shalimar with the vanilla smoothed by a dose of cream ? Didn't get the woodiness - unfortunately.

EDP stayed close to my skin.

Smoulders rather than burns.

ALIEN is INFUSING! Spray it once, that would be enough! Like its successor ANGEL, same rules applied; SPRAY CAUTIOUSLY!! Being soft and creamy doesn't necessarily mean weak and boring. Instead ALIEN blows you off with a strong & powerful kick. So, please be gentle and respect other people sharing the same room with you, or else you will be ALIENated!

The advertorial as well as it's purple flacon has successfully created drama and absurdity that obviously different to the innocent and sweet image of ANGEL. However, IMO both are misfits and contradictory. Many have said these two signature scents should switch their names and bottles, that..I fully agreed. ALIEN should bear ANGEL's name, sweet and innocent in a cute star-shaped bottle and the fierce ANGEL should be named ALIEN, bold and mature.

I somehow imagine the absurd queen played by Tilda Swinton in Narnia would fit the image of the new ALIEN. As bizarre as it can get, TM's perfume is not to be passed deliberately. If I had not forced myself to buy a mini just out of curiosity, I might still be in the ALIEN haters group for now. But pleasee...don't judge a book by its cover! Looks could be deceiving, right? Especially, when I found out that ALIEN is all jasmine, wrapped in rich woodsy amber! ALIEN + jasmine maniac like me? Well, that equals heavennnn.... ladies and gentlemen!!

So, even when the name doesn't fit, and the fumes is not even that unique, that doesn't really stop me from craving and wanting this perfume even more! Guys, what are you waiting for?? Go grab ALIEN, it really is worth to covet a bottle!!

I first fell in LOVE with Alien when I was at work and a friend wore it about 5 years ago and I thought wow what an amazing smell!!! I describe it as clean, sweet, powerful, sexy, seductive, intoxicating, alluring. I have been seduced under a spell that has never gone away since first whiff. So I asked my friend what are you wearing? and she replied alien and I thought wow what a crazy name for something so magnificent. I was shocked! I couldnt help but to laugh, roll my eyes because name put me off completely.

About a month later I smelt it again on another coworker about 3 months later and there it was the fragrance that put me on a rocket ship to heaven. I was charmed and under the spell again, so I asked what are you wearing? She replied Alien by Thierry Mugler. I thought wow you are joking because I was not a fan of Angel at the time. Regardless, as soon as I got paid, I ran to macys for my signature smell Alien.

Everyone this fragrance is not for those who want to go unnoticed, or people who like light, sublte perfumes or have a shy personality.

People who wear alien are confident, sexy, unaplogettic, and know what they want out of life. Its truly an unforgetable fragrance. I call this my love potion and it does bring me love.

When you first spray Alien it smells complex maybe even a little bitter because of the amber/woodsy notes. I hated it on intial blast before because it was so strong. Give it time and you will be gloriously wrapped in the woodsy, amber and jasmine spell as the hours go by.

Once Alien is on you it leaves trails and wafts of where you are, what room you were in and where you are going. It last on my skin even after I shower, and it also lasts on your clothes.

So be forwarned not everyone likes alien it is a love or hate smell. If you spray too much you will cause headaches and complaints. Repelling others because it doesnt go away. I rarely hear complaints.

I describe this fragrance as a magnet or weapon of seduccion. I have recieved many compliments, and admirers. Now everyone asking me what are you wearing? I proudly reply Alien by Thierry Mugler.

Ok, after the numerous praises i read from here, i bought ALien.....what is the fuss about? i dont get it...Mugler must have his marketers here by the dozens.

I love alien! Its smell like nothing else aut there,its is unique ! I really like this perfume.Its lasts wery long time !

Smell this on a sniff paper,
and I couldn't decide if I wanna get one at that moment,
so I've put it under my pillow.

And 3 days after when I was changing my beddings,
I've found it and it still smells the same!

With my compliments to its lasting power,
I'll have to say Alien smells magnificent!

Love it, and now I got a bottle of it. :D

I'm revisiting Alien as my dad (who has no idea what I do like or not) bought me a bottle of it for my birthday, my last experience with this fragrance was last winter in England when I found out that I hated Jasmin and all jasmin perfumes, this is true still now. When I hoped the present and I saw my dad have bought Alien I thought omg my most hated perfume ever, but when I smelled it again I actually didnt needed to fake my smile because I actually liked it! Its completly different on summer, the jasmin-piss note is gone and what I've got is a salty woody fragrance that is very ligh and very good for this terrible heat.
I'm delighted with it and I've been wearing it for office everyday.
I'm a chaged woman :P

Alien casts a spell on me as well does Hypnotic poison, sadly they seem to offend or overpower my husband. I'll sneek out and get it and wear it lightly. Can stop sniffig my self wen I've tested it. Magical. A perfect bled and so special.

Perfume unico y maravilloso, la primera vez que lo probe me parecio que tenia demasiado jazmin pero no esto es muy equilibrado, sensual, femenino. Es una fragancia para dejar una buena estela y no pasar desapercibido.

I love this because it's so unique from anything else I own. It lasts forever on my skin and people are intrigued when they smell it and ask what it is. I can't really describe what it smells like, it just so unusual, but that's why I love it.

This fragrance is unique in multiple ways and I can say that you can't compare it with anything else, on the market. It lasts 'till the next day but it is awsome! I recommend it for winterdays (and evenings).

This is a strange but very intriging scent, sorta mysterious. You either love it or hate it. I happen to love! It's definitely winter/fall night wear! The only downfall is it doesn't really stay on me which is a bummer! So far, friends and family are very drawn to it!

this is the most addicting smell and the most unique smell ive ever wore

I wanted to like this,but it is one ugly scent! Dill pickles is what I get! I bought it blind and it definitely was a quick give-a-way!It is just missing the pickles floating in the bottle! Sorry for anyone that likes it,but it definitely has the perfect name!Alien! Send it back to its planet!

I love this fragrance, actually, I love the whole alien range.

It reminds me of grape Kool Aid! Or grape bubble gum. I'll pass.

It's so heavy it gives you and people around you a bad headache. It's a good smell for rare occasions, but not for everyday use. I tossed it in the garbage before I finished half of the bottle. Almost as horrible as Lou Lou from Cacharel.

I think I may have found my wedding day scent...this is the perfect jasmine oriented scent, and amazingly romantic because the jasmine isn't too sharp or overwhelming. This morphs into a beutifully balanced musk and amber while still keeping some of the original crisp jasmine. I really want this scent to add to my collection!

My husband's cousin had it on at a family party. It smelled so nice on her. I am using the sample. You don't need a lot to unleash the scent. It smells different and divine! Yes it also reminds me if versace crystal noir but this smelled more rich and exotic on me.

as far as i can tell, this perfume has the best silage of any other perfume i own or have tried. it will literally permeate your walls...in very good way. dark and beautiful and unlike any other scent out there, it truly is unique and foreign, like it's name sake. the bottle is supposed to resemble an alien, but to me it is a perfect representation of the feeling it gives me...

the deep purple bottle, perched on a 19th Edwardian vanity, amidst other dark vials of ornate perfume, a powder puff resting atop a dark and intricately detailed silver bowl, filled with the sweet scented powder. there are half burned tapered candles in wrought iron holders, all of which rest on a delicate black Chantilly lace. the wind blows through the sheer ecru tinged curtains draped over the tall, expansive window. the sky gray, covered in a cloudy mysterious haze. the first signs that a storm is coming, the balmy air is unusually warm. the beautiful scent of alien wafts about the room, kissing the pillows and bedding, seducing the mistress that wears it, so she may in turn, seduce all others who have the pleasure crossing her path...or her boudoir.

truly a witchy fragrance, not the warted green kind, but the one that you would have no clue, because she's just too beautiful, confident, elegant, sophisticated and most of all, charming, to ever be thought of as anything other than mesmerizing.

I love Alien..then sometimes I hate it. As far as that 'minty' note goes....go buy a Vicks nose inhaler...that mysterious minty note is actually menthol....now smell Alien...get it?
Has anyone realized that it clears your sinuses entirely...Vicks!!!

This is my signature scent .

Too strong or heady concoction for some , but i LOVE it! This i9s what i bring out for nights out or in with BF...Its strong , sensual and magical.

The bottle is fantastic and takes pride of place on my "perfume shelf" .

I'm surprised its only composed of a few notes , it smells incredibly c0mplex to me.

Incredible lasting power and sillage on my skin.

Ive found a wonderful way of mixing it up - I have a spray of alien behind each ear , and a spray of Tm's "Violette Angel " on each wrist ..the combo of these two together i just love , and your sure you wont smell like anyone else.

Not for wallflowers , and Ive only got into these heavier scents since passing a certain age. For strong , confident women whop want to be noticed :)

10/10 from me !!

I tried this out yesterday, and wished the sales assistant hadn't been so generous with the spray. Initially it had a minty toothpaste smell, and then became completely overbearing. I stuck it out and kept it on for a good half hour in the hope that it would improve on drydown but it made me feel quite sick, and I had to wash it off. Although I washed and washed (I even took a nailbrush to scrub my skin!) I still couldn't get the smell off my skin. Only after 9 hrs and washing at every opportunity did the smell start to fade. For those who love this, it's certainly got staying power. Not for the faint-hearted!

My 3rd review...what Alien does to me on different days:

ON A GOOD DAY:
powerful but smooth...smoky-minty-sweet-jasmine on a deep base of musk/amber/woods...dark, cozy, sophisticated, eccentric, elegant.

ON AN AVERAGE DAY:
An icy can of herby/woody SARSAPARILLA BEVERAGE aka SARSI(it's like rootbeer) plus a hint of vanilla. And ofcourse a thick fog of amber/musk floating in the background.

ON A BAD DAY this is what Alien smells to me:
Roach spray...a hazy, thick, cold fog of musk/floral-scented roach spray. Toxic note in there like it shouldn't be on your skin.

Lately I've had more bad days and average days than I've had good days with Alien...I was madly in love when I first bought it, and I now realize that I've underestimated the true power and strength of this scent hidden behind the deceptively cozy and velvety jasmine note...my bottle is more than 3/4 full so I gave it to mom, and it suits her so much more, she smells very elegant and I prefer this on her than on myself. I think this suits mature women more, they can better pull off the power and elegance of Alien...younger women could drown in this potion imo, especially if not worn properly.

i adore this parfum ,, it is sooo classy and chic

Too intoxicating for me. It gives me headaches.

I get it now, after having worn it for countless of times, Alien smells to me more and more like SARSAPARILLA beverage (it's like root beer but sweeter) with a touch of vanilla!! Except that it isn't exactly a gourmand scent, atleast not gourmand in the 'yummy, I could eat it' sense...But it has that sarsaparilla essence in it. So THAT'S WHY I found it smelling similar to the rootbeer-ish Hypnotic Poison.

A garden full of white flowers spreading their scents in an early morning of a beautiful summery day!
It opens extremely floral and based on rose and jasmine in a chilly and cold way.
Bottle and name support the complicated and unrecognizable scent perfectly. It's something that seems older than us but presents fresh and juicy.
Dry down is near to Mungler's masculines; resinous and chemical with dominant benzoin. Chic and strong, overpowering and strange, proper for between 25~35 years old in a deeply ceremonial way in an uncommon dress.
Although it's dry and strong pattern, it's sentimental and you get lots of compliments for sure. But you may either hate it or love it, nothing between.
10 hours passed and test paper still scents in bold resinous and floral smell.

longevity 9/10
sillage 7/10
scent 7/10

I do SO wish i could wear Alien but it is so strong it actually makes my eyes water! It smells as wonderful as it looks. It looks like a TimeLord from another galaxy in full magician's regalia. The rich dark purple colour is just right for the stunning imperious aloof vibe of the stuff. What a concoction!Amazingly strange and piercingly beautiful scent. Oh to wear it, and wow the little cotton socks off a lot of people! But alas,I am Cinderella where Alien is concerned.

I tried this one back in 2005 and loved it immediately! My soul mate of the fragrance world had arrived!! I had a spray on a card from a department store and put it in my jacket pocket. I pulled the card out of my pocket two weeks later and could still smell it quite strongly! What I love about it is that the top, middle and base notes combine together so harmoniously that it is like you are inhaling the fragrance of an exotic flower from an alien planet from far beyond our solar system! I wear this during the day and evening - I think it's so gorgeous that it's suitable for any time. I will never tire of this one!

it is strong and you can get headachs from it mrs porrit and she let me try it what a wonderful perfume

For me Alien is beautiful but in a strange kind of way. It can warm a cold winters day & put me in a snuggly mood. I love how the top & middle notes unfold even though the base note is too catching for me. Alien captures me on its approach bt looses it's appeal the longer it lasts. How strange is that? But i still care for it enough to hold it dear.

This perfume is just perfect to me. It's different, of course, alien. I love to smell different, nothing worse than being mainstream. I cannot bare Angle, it's just annoying. But Alien is so stunning, bright, a masterpiece in my opinion. I have used this during winter ( which has been a freezing endless winter) and it actually makes me looking forward to the next winter. In cold air this scent is breathtaking. Thumbs up!!!
Staying power is awesome as well.

I absolutely hate this perfume. It is a weird, horrible smelling scent. I don't smell jasmine at all, just a strange, sweet mint chewing gum smell. It makes me sick. I wore a tester of this one day to a friend's house for lunch, and she actually asked me to wash this off.

It is a love affair. Before you realise, you are captured and every now and then you look for an escape, but sooner or later you are back and it's more dangerous,intoxicating, and better than ever.

absolutely gorgeous. to me, one of the best perfumes ever!! my boyfriend fell in love with it. he says it is the only perfume he has ever smelled that made him think:wow ^^

Actualy, I did not find any frags from this designer which I like. It's too sharp for me, can't breathe normaly when i feel this scent around. Maybe it's ok for mid-ages woman. I definitely smell mint or menthol notes in. Guess, this parfume has a great longevity, but I'll not use for now, maybe 20 years later.

Love this! Very seductive. Perfect autumn/fall scent.
Rich, warm and woody. It has a familiar smell for me. Anyone remember Incognito released by Dana Perfumes in the early 90's? Alien is alot like that, only more top shelf, of course! Must be the deep amber base.

I'm surprised.

As much as I hate overwhelming Angel and damned Womanity, I thought I was a Thierry Mugler hater myself. And maybe I am.

But every rule has it's exception, ladies and gentlemen.

And I must say Alien is fucking delicious. Sexy. Gorgeous. Aphrodisiac. Geez.

Just got this today (online). I was so excited to finally get a TM perfume.
I wanted it to be a revelation because of its fame and everything so I hadn’t smelled it before. just ordered it.
And… Surprise! I sprayed it and I was mesmerized. I said what the!!! Did I have this one before and didn’t NOTICE it?
I desperately went to my sweet place where I keep all my bottles and yes! There it was: GUCCI NIGHT! (which, by the way, it is not in the database! don’t know why)
There is a difference though: Alien is stronger and harsher than Gucci Night, much more expansive and not necessarily better.
I was so sure it was such a unique perfume. I hope I`ll get over it these days and find a way to like it. Or not!

I sampled this and the body cream at the same time to get a better feel for how it smelled. I think other ppl on this site said this one should be called angel and the other should be called alien. agreed! this is so soft, feminine, light, and pretty-i think this is more what an angel would smell like. If i didn't have a huge perfume collection already i would get this. very nice and non-offending. 2 thumbs up!

I´ve been wearing this one for a while and I really love this strong Jasmine blast, so well embraced by the depth of the woody-amber notes.
It´s intense, warm and ultra feminine but surprisingly can also be so, so relaxing, if sprayed just a little bit.
Although, I must confess that by my own experience, if overly sprayed can be intoxicating.
It has strong projection and silage, lasts wonderfully for the all day with the same scent, does not change.

price is outrageous oompf:( well in austria/germany it is.

I wanted to love Alien. I really, truly wanted to fall head over heels for it the way I did for Angel, which is another controversial fragrance that it seems you either love or hate.
Unfortunately, Alien either doesn't work with my chemistry or it's just a bad fragrance. I'm inclined to think it's just a chemistry thing, as I know lots of people adore Alien - I wish I could say the same.

I can't distinguish ANY notes in this perfume. I can detect no jasmine, no amber, no warm woods. It doesn't progress. From the first spray right through to the drydown hours later, the scent remains the same and very 'chemical'. Kind of like a strange mix of eucalyptus throat lozenges and bug spray - it breaks my heart to have to say it but I just can't wear this perfume. The bottle is gorgeous, but it's just not worth buying if I can't enjoy the juice inside.

Maybe I'll have better luck with 'Womanity' :/

The first time I tried Alien I thought I´d never feel confortable wearing it because it was so strong and different but... Well, there was something about it that attracted me so much. I was really shocked with it´s audacity but just couldn´t forget it. It took me some time to realize I had been captured by the beauty of this perfume.
Alien is not an everyday scent, for sure. It´s really strong and superb in it´s simplicity, as well as absolutely feminine and luxuriously sexy. A real jasmine masterpiece, the one I keep for my most special moments.

STRONG & SEXY

mmmmmmmmm I love this scent so much!

I bought my bottle today after using my little sample till the last drop. And one drop is all you need to smell gorgeous all day and greater part of the night. I just love jasmine and think this combines great with the flying fox showergel from the Lush and the godiva shampoo-bar.

To properly appreciate this composition by Dominique Ropion and Laurent Bruyere you don't have to simply like jasmine, you should instead love JASMINE (say it as loud as you can).
When a new fragrance from Thierry Muglier comes to light, it's always surrounded by big expectations, and lately this expectations have been sadly unsatisfied.
Alien provides us with all the ingredients we usually expect form Thierry Muglier (juxtapositions, uniqueness, sweetness, pushed to the limits ingredients, weird bottle and advertisement) but it does it in the wrong way. This time Mr Ropion has simply failed. It happens, even to the best perfumeurs.

Overall Alien is a nice scent but remember that the word "nice" can be pronounced in several ways. In this case you should say it without even opening your mouth.

Rating: 6-6.5/10

Alien is a true masterpiece. The unusual yet gorgeous bottle alone is enough to arouse my fascination. However, the actual perfume inside is what amazed me. I'm a big fan of Jasmin, thus seeing it amplified and given such depth and sensuality makes me simply exuberant. However this perfume is very strong and definitely not for everyone. But that doesn't stop me from someday purchasing a big bottle of it, I adore Alien, so why does anything else matter?

For something with so few notes in it this smells bizarrely complex and weird. So thats the brief fully adhered to. But then it becomes normal white floriental after the initial surprise. The alien sneaks into human society..
Very goth. Wants to be different and scary but reaches out at the last moment for connection, smiles self-conciously in its spiky collar.
Purple bottle looks a bit like a Giger design.

LOVE IT! Smells like my personality <3 Im gonna get a good bottle of this :)

I think it's so strange that I'm asking myself: Do people really like that stuff or is it only because it's hip to like it? It smells odd - in your face, bitter, unbalanced - maybe good as a room spray but on my body? Definitely not. Maybe it's good in the drydown, I wouldn't know as I would never go so far.

this perfume smells weirrrddddd. it's so strong and theres something in it that smells very potent and not to my liking.

Good things first: The jasmine is heavenly, feminine, almost transports you. The patch is just the right earthy balance. Some citrus makes it refreshing and sweet.

The bad: There's something annoying in it. Underneath eevrything else there's something disturbing and unsettling lurking. It sometimes makes me angry, irritable.

Its also very, very synthetic and strong, and no matter how light I spray, it always produces a headache.

Conclusion: I wouldn't buy a big bottle, but I might buy a mini of the EDT and give a light, half spray from time to time.

I wish they hadn't gone so toxic and chemically on this one, but I guess there's nothing natural about aliens.

I can't wear this at all. Sour mouldy fruit is all I get from Alien. The only TM fragrance I can wear is Innocent. Sorry Thierry, you and I can never be friends.

Perfect perfume, perfest design of the bottle, my No.1 for now...

This is perfect! Absolutely sexy, sensual and mysterious. It is strong, you need only a spritz to smell stunning for the day. My favorite perfume. I will buy this until I die. Very happy that I discovered it!

I'm adding to my review below. I didn't like this scent on me, it smelled like a cough drop and I had a number of friends try it with the same results. I gave my sample to my sister in law, and it smelled AMAZING on her. I couldn't believe it was the same scent, it was so different. Now I finally understand all the positive reviews.

This perfume smells really out of this world! With a bottle that looks like a strangely cute purple spaceship, Alien is easily one of my faves. There's just nothing even remotely comparable to this scent. Unique. Eerie. Dark. Scary. Mysterious. Beautiful. Unbelievably sexy. *Use sparingly. Overdosing on this can cause damage to one's olfactory sense*

2nd review: This stuff is intoxicating and romantic! Call me a weirdo but I get the urge to sniff Alien every night before bed! And anytime I wear it my nose wants to be glued to my wrist haha. I LOVE IT <3

I agree with Spiritkind in part.

For whatever reason the EDP doesn't get along with my body chemistry and I get the weird menthol/eucalyptus cough drop note. However, I don't have that problem with the EDT! Weird.

My recommendation to Spiritkind: try the EDT.

Also some of the limited editions are gorgeous. I highly recommend Alien Sunessence Edition Limitee 2011 Or d`Ambre. The dry down is a lot like the original scent but more sparkling, perfect for spring and summer.

I love jasmine, and amber, they are two of my favorite scents. This doesn't smell like either. I get a slight balsm scent, with citronella (wich is probably what people keep refering to as the bug spray smell). I also get menthol/eucalyptus (which must be the mint scent people keep refering to). To me it smells like a halls lemon cough drop. Reminding me of being sick, sweaty, stuffed up, coughing with a sore throat doesn't exactly make for a sexy scent. Everyone smells things differently so I thought this might just be the way I smelled this scent, or perhaps it was just how it smelled on me. I had a number of friends test the scent with the same results. I suppose I could have had a bad sample

Alien, you're so unique! Mysterious, powerful, luxury, and completely feminine. Nothing else to say... it is so beautiful. Thanx, Mugler!

It's strong, assertive, seductive and alluring... Deeply feminine. I think it's too heavy for day time, but perfect for a night out. I find it very similar to Armani Code but still prefer Code, it is softer and easier to wear...

que buen perfume!! y diferente a todos. Tan solo con tres notas lograron un perfume diferente. Estoy cansada que Escada haga todos los perfumes parecidos, por ejemplo que es Island Kiss se parece al Ocean Lounge y que el Ocean Lounge se parece al nuevo TAJ SUNSET. Y que los de BRitney sean todos con gusto a caramelo.

No way this fragrance contains 3 and 3 notes only :-)
I was a bit apprehensive to try it as I thought it was over-advertised and thought it would be yet another unbearable Mugler's creation...
And the bottle front looked so scary; as if Alien held it in their powerful claws...
But Alien smells so unique and complex, so rich and luxurious... I am lost for words. I tried it a few times now and I love it more and more each time I wear it. It is a fantastic combination of oriental floral notes on a nice woodsy base. To me it smels like an exquisite mixture of orange blossom and jasmine with a hint of amber and deep woody-mossy notes which are very prominent, like in Ange Ou Demon.
Alien is the only creation of Thierry Mugler that I can wear. It is a perfect fragrance in a perfect bottle with an outstanding sillage and lasting power.
With that quality comes a shocking price label but Mugler does not compromise on quality and I don't do it either. I do not mind paying a lot for this particular fragrance as it is going to last me years; one spray is enough for the whole day at office. It draws compliments from both, men and women which come free to that expensive package ;-)
Highly recommended - I feel it would appeal to Hypnotic Poison and Ange ou Demon lovers.
Not that it smells similar to those mentioned above - it just has a similar deep, rich feel to it and the dry down to die for :-)

Hats off for Mr Ropion for making it clear that less means more!

There are two fragrances (so far) I like by Thierry Mugler. Alien and Angel Innocent. The rest of Mugler as I know it seems to me (although perhaps great and so well review and respected) way too loud and like those experimental fashion outfits that are worn solely for some kind of artistic purpose.
The idea of Alien is not so new though. There is something that reminds me so much of Cacharel`s Lou Lou (that I prefer even more).
And I wanted to ask you purely out of curiosity... is there anyone out there to whom the bottle reminds of female genitals? I mean the upper side of it... because to me it does. Big time. It`s not surprising to me at all. Remember the sentence Thierry Mugler said in Robert Altman`s Pret-a-Porter? 'It's all about getting a great fuck, darling.'

I don't know what this has to do with aliens. It smells extremely feminine. It is a strong, noticable scent but there is nothing otherwordly about it. I love the flower scent that doesn't degenerate into a weak dying bouquet smell.

This is my second review, but Alien is so unique and special. I wear it, and I immediately smell something similar to toast with a deep grape/berry jelly...it is wonderfully sweet and comforting.

I read so many good reviews about this fragrance that I was very intrigued to smell this for myself, so I bought a sample to try.
I sprayed one small squirt to the wrist and was very surprised at how strong this was.
I would describe this scent to be feminine, mysterious, unique, sensual, and just very different to anything you have probably ever smelt before.
The scent is very strong, heavy and overpowering. I could constantly smell this even though I only sprayed a tiny amount.
The jasmine in this is very prominent. I also detect a minty smell ?
This is a true oriental with great sillage!
But unfortunately I'm sad so say that this perfume was too heavy and overpowering for me.
I know many will love this! Orientals just don't agree with me.
I think I will stick to the Fruity Florals =)

Ok, this reminds me of sweet, sweet grape wine, with jasmine flowers thrown in the pot. Add a few wood chips to the mix. The woody notes become a bit louder in the die down. It's not odd or strange but it is very strong. Because of the strange grape note I would almost consider this a fruity floral. Lasts a long,long time on me which is good because I have a problem with my skin eating perfume. I can definitely smell this perfume hours and hours after applying. I would say it was a "purple" perfume. Gloriously sweet, not harsh in any way. I get no spice and no vanilla. It gets oh so much better in the die down. Sillage is stunning. So you will have to remember to wear just a small amout or it will knock everyone out around you.
Great, wonderful purple bottle. I think if the bottle was in the shape of a big purple flower it would be more of a fit than this strange alien figure.

Over a year ago I ADORED Alien, I was absolutely in love with this perfume, my husband also liked it on me and even bought me a big bottle for Christmas (2009). I havn't worn Alien for awhile, maybe 6 months or so and tried it on about a month ago and it made me so sick! I tried again a few days later and it wasn't as bad but still, it was not my love anymore, I still sniff the bottle now and again and it reminds me of spray starch....guess the love affair is over. :0(

Simply beautiful! Very feminine and VERY strong. I only put a drop of this stuff on my wrist to test it out but you would think I had sprayed it ALL OVER ME.

Mysterious, sexy, feminine without being girly, distinctive and very very beautiful.

Be prepared to receive loads of compliments wearing this - smells 100x better than Angel (which I actually really didn't like..). It screams siren - without being whorish. Think upper-class aristocrat - really lovely, very oriental, it actually reminds me of old tea houses/green tea, it's a clean scent that won't feel sickly or tiring although it is quite simple, so don't buy if you're into really complex/sweet scents.

Lasting power is pretty darn good, it does fade a little though to a more subtle tea scent.

I was pleasantly surprised by this perfume. I didn't so much like Angel so I thought Alien would be like Angel, and it is not... the staying power is amazing to me. Put one drop on my hand in the afternoon, and it created a great sillage on me from just a drop, and lasted the entire day! That's too good to be true I think, and the scent was a bonus.. nothing like Angel. I find it does smell a little like Poisen, but way better, and sweeter. I can see with this one a little takes you a long way. I also think spraying too much might be a little overbearing for people around you so I plan to use this sparingly

I think this will be the feminine version of "acqua di gio for men".

So girls, better use it now because soon every girl will have it, and you know how you don't like to have what other girl has!!!

Ladies, beware, because the ultimate "fantasy woven with reality" fragrance is here... i cant believe i am writing the review so late [almost 10 months after] but this perfume is a MUST have.
it stays on my skin for days [when used with the body bath] , so longevity is fabulous = 9/10
This perfume is so so so very different from all the others, it is strong and bold yet retains the essential softness.
this is a strong contender for my signature scent, a beautiful, bold, crazy concoction, but as i said beware , not every woman is capable of wearing/appreciating it.
much love and luck

Just hate it! When the first time i smelled this parfume, it made me throw up and gave me a huge headache. Never ever ever try this again.

This is a daring fragrance , full of personality - which is wonderfull ! It is for strong and confident women , who likes to be in the attention of everyone . In the opening , it starts with a spicy jasmine and later it develops into a strong , intoxicating liquor with great sillage !This is a marvelous work of genius !

It smells weird at first, with hints of earthy mushroom (!) , damped linen, rotting melon. But, after 5 minutes, it becomes soothing, gentle, warm. Astonishing staying power: I took a shower then I fell asleep for 14 hrs and this extraterrestrial perfume exhalated its last, touching, tender breaths from my right wrist. It's not a perfume, it is quite similar to a "shambleu-like/ shambleuoid" living creature that reacts to everyone's mood.
Take care of your Alien.

At first I have to say, that I`m a total wimp when it`s about trying "scary" perfumes like Opium, Poison or Mr. Mugler`s creations...
Today I saw a bottle of Alien staring at me at a store. And after reading before such a good reviews about it, I decided to try.

To me this no alien! But maybe Mr. Mugler thinks that aliens are nice, soft, beautiful and sexy. There is nothing sharp here, pure velvet. For that reason this remainds me of Hypnotic Poison. Especially the dry down.

So I`m very pleasently surprised, I was waiting a slap on the face, but I got a hand covered in soft, velvet glove gently touching my skin.

The sillage in this is pretty amazing.
This girl I know wears it in school and I could smell Alien from the end of the hallway.

The scent is awesome, too!

I did not have any expectations regarding this fragrance, but Alien turned out to have some guts.
And on the right person, this will smell heavenly in a can't-keep-my-hands-off-you way. Plastic fantastic, baby!

Extra points for the unique bottle, which gives a generous serving of the juice with one spray.

My verdict: Alien is unisex - if you dare to wear it, gentlemen!

Alien is unusual yes but I'm looking for SciFi and not finding any. It starts off promising the weird stuff and making me wonder what the notes will be. But it turns deeply flora and darkly sensuous and it's all very feminine and even stylish.


I would wear Alien any evening as a glamour perfume.It really surprised me how very beautiful and Chanelly/Diory it is, so different completely from Angel

One of my favorite!
It is like it's name, different, special and unique.
Is strong and sensual but not too strong, spicy and fresh at same time.
mostly i use it in the evening.

I would totally love to wear a fragrance that comes in a bottle that looks like Ambassador Kosh's encounter suit.
I want to want it, so very much, but to me it's a cold, biting scent and it makes my stomach turn.

I consigned my sample back to Zahadoom where it belongs, forgotten on a planet of shadows.

I've decided that for me, jasmine fragrances seem to come in two flavors: sweet, cool, and lush -- or loud, high, screechy, and unwearable (I think orange blossom and neroli might be the pairings that kick it up the screech). Fortunately, on me Alien proves to be the former.

I'd heard a lot about the STRANGENESS of this scent, but I find Alien quite pretty. Rich, cool jasmine (there's something herbal or stemmy in there, which contributes to the coldness) and warm woods, with the whole composition feeling somehow damp and dark. It's sweet but not foody or thick -- highly wearable and quite elegant, although it is also a BIG scent and certainly not a minimalist one. Also, a total powerhouse; you will KNOW you're wearing this, so ti does have a sort of otherworldly nuclear-powered quality in that sense.

To me, Bvlgari Black is a close cousin -- but sweeter, weirder, and less unisex than Alien! It's like Black plays up the sweet side of jasmine, then juxtaposes it against the rubber and leather notes. Alien just puts the lush jasmine front and center, doesn't candy it with all the vanilla in Black, and lets the woods provide a supporting role.

Thanks to Nyoka for inspiring me to give this a try with her raptorous comments on Alien!

This is my 3rd review of my signature fume.I keep wondering why I am so enamored with this fume.AS a sci fi fan,I love the bottle and the concept of an ET.But,,,ITS THE JUICE! The jasmine mingled with all that wet woody componant is addictive to me.That and it lasts all day.I ALWAYS get compliments on it.ESpecislly when I use vanilla lotion underneath!

IT may come3 and go and if it does,Ill hunt it in vintage form.Its the ONLY fume smell,I cant forget!

Alien is a sly 'fume. First application it coats the back of my throat in a fuzzy amber carpet layered in jasmine petals. Overall is a strange fug: what is it? Sweat? Salt? It's like licking the back of your hand and letting it dry after drinking black-tea...an odd scent, just lurking there.

Either way, I like Alien. I didn't think I would as the descriptions make it sound like a gourmand-nightmare. It's dryer than you'd think, and lasts a good 9-10 hours.

Strangely appealing. Oh, and I love the bottle design: I had a crush on Emperor Ming from Flash Gordon when I was a wee bairn. Yum.

I love this one on my missus, girls do you know any other similar fragrance???

This is a gorgeous scent. I love it when I first spray it on, but, unfortunately, as it settles on my skin it becomes unbearably sweet and quite insipid. I have been told that this has something to do with my olive skin not having adequate acidity to cut through the sweetness, but who knows?

Alien is a unique perfume. It does share one aspect in common with Hypnotic Poison and Poison though; There is a very distinct, and velvety, smoky/powdery-woodsy quality that they share in the dry-down...in these fragrances, this certain 'quality' gives out a vibe that is dark, mysterious, sophisticated and sexy.

Other notes I get in Alien::: a dominant and clean Jasmine note, cool Mint (the leaf, not the candy), Almond (raw almond smell, not toasted or sugared), a hint of vanilla, warmth from the amber note, Vetiver and/or Tobacco (that velvety-smoky drydown)...and last but not least, a most tender, yet prominent, Milky-Musky note that brings to mind the scent of 'clean baby skin', present throughout the lifespan of the scent (like a combo of mint, almond, milk and musk). It's a very comforting scent and reminds me of my baby niece, the way her skin smells (well, 3-month-old babies almost always smell like milk, musk and soft soap). Summing it up, to me, Alien = Jasmine Petals + Clean Baby Skin + 'Velvet Smoke'. Soothing and tender as a newborn's touch, yet mysterious and powerful as a goddess.

Truly gorgeous, and I don't really care that this perfume is so popular and worn by so many women, it smells amazing and makes me feel elegant but also warm, cozy, and sensual when I wear it. My own preference is to wear it during night time or in cooler weather. The lasting power is good, sprayed on clothes it will linger for days, on skin atleast 8 hours. Sillage is moderate-big the first couple hours, but wears closer to the skin after that (on me atleast).

A friend of mine has this one and it's really unique! Great sexy jasmine mixed in a way out of this world with a powdery element... I love it! I want it!

I waited for some time before I decided to invest in this perfume. I recieved a couple of samples and just wasn't sure. Well everytime I spritzed just alittle, I liked it more and more. Finally I ran down to Macy's and bought a big bottle. Thanks everyone for your reviews....Normally I would have never tried this. I am so happy I did.
Mesmerizing!!!
Well I couldn't put my finger on it until now. The dry down smells like the old Roman Catholic cathedral that I went to as a child in Germany. Like...candleS...insense....vanilla....JASMINE JASMINE JASMINE!

Wow, I just had to delete old review, I was WAY off. But that's what happens when in 2011 I review something I smelt in 2006 :-/

I love this scent, only Thierry Mugler knows how to create a powerfully gorgeous scent that doesn't make me sick. I love the thick Jasmine in the EDP, it's so forceful an dominant. The EDT has a hit of moroccan jasmine and citrus, that which I'm not nearly impressed with as the EDP.
I hope my girlfriend really likes this.

i loooved this so much but so much people have this perfume.. in winther you can smell this everywhere :D
but its a nice, powerfull and feminine scent ;)

It smells a lot like Bvlgari BLV notte, but less strong.

call me weird but i love looking at my mom getting ready at her vanity. its like an art form the way she applies her eye makeup just so. she's such a beautiful woman, even as she gets older. i walked over to give her an impulsive hug....and melted. heady, lush, AWESOME white floral sillage...so familar....yet so ALIEN.
i gave her my bottle on the spot.

I wore beautiful Alien today, I'm in love, soooo good.

There is nothing gourmand and yummy about Alien.It's fierce and beautifully strange all the way through, like Poison. Angel is a big softie compared with Alien. Alien is such a strange and uncompromising fragrance that everyone will notice it no matter how lightly you apply it.

Only get it if you are ready for something way way beyond chypre. It's easy to admire this perfume, but it's not so easy to wear, it's so not everyday.But it could become an addiction.

Alien is heavy on the jasmine! Soapy jasmine. After a while a hint of vanilla appears, but the jasmine is still prominent and loud. This is to my nose a very sharp and rather linear fragrance. It makes me wanna sneeze; too much jasmine has that effect on me. It does turn into a weak version of Vanille Noire by Yves Rocher at the end; a bit earthy, some vanilla. The staying power is not that good either, it disappears after approximately 4 hours. Alien is not how I expected it to be like at all. Oh well.

It's unique.
Very strong, stays all day long ..

I have the perfume and the lotion, it's a strange one but it's beautiful, nothing else smells the same, strong and remarcable.

Mugler is the absolute grand vizier of fragrance. In terms of his body of work, Mugler is unsurpassed in creativity, genius, potency, packaging/bottle, quality, and originality (Angel, A men, B men, Allien, WOMANITY...need i go on?) , and this is coming from an absolute parfum addict. Alien is one of those perfumes that will have you lifting your jaw off the floor. Imagine a hot muggy day...and you walk by a jasmine bush. sweet sensual full voluptous scent of jasmine with beeswax....this is so divine. mugler makes truly amazing perfumes. where parfum actually means parfum. sillage? oh yeah. lasting power? til you bathe lol

I’ve worn this every day since i was given it as a birthday present. Even on hot summer days. I love it so much i really don’t care if the person sitting next to me on the bus thinks i have too much of a heavy perfume on.
I cant stand Angel but i love Alien.
I think the bottle looks like Emperor Zerg from Toy Story :)

THIS PERFUME IS THE BEST FOR EVER.....SOOOO SEXYYYYY AND WARM I WON'T STOP PURCHASE IT.... a perfume with character

Looks like Darth Vader.

This one is not for me. I adore Womanity, but Alien smells like bug spray for about the first hour and though it drys down into a pleasant woody, powdery scent - I just can't take that first hour!

I was so sceptic about the Thierry Mugler perfumes but I really loved this one. It's wearable and gorgeous. I like it a lot!

at first time , I didn't understand anythinh about its charming , but now it is diffrent , charming

Woah, oh my gosh, so ridiculously cloying. The jasmine notes create an in-your-face sweet but tart dominating smell. At first spray there is the faint smell of bug spray and then it floats into nothing but jasmine. It's pretty linear, just that annoying jasmine. I bet those who love it can smell the other notes on their skin, and I wish I could on my own. Otherwise, really not worth the price tag for just jasmine.

LOVE this HATE Angel!

Somehow I just can't understand the appeal of this fragrance. Perhaps the name is what turns me off more than the scent? Perhaps the combination of name and fragrance? Thierry Mugler is a creative fellow, and this one is different, thats for sure. Certainly some people have the body chemistry to pull this off. I do not!

Wearing this I smell exactly like a pine tree. Bummer!

This has great staying power, and I get the most compliments on Alien out of all of my collection. I would wear more if it weren't so expensive...

At last a TM fragrance I am able to wear. Whilst I like his scents I can only stomach them for half an hour before one or all the following occur.
1) my stomach starts to groan with hunger due to their sweet foodie aromas
2) a headache throb begins and NOTHING can get rid of it except a cold shower
3) self conscious thoughts take over and I retreat from others around me in fear that I reek and am offensive to allergy sufferers.

But Alien has the worst of TM dialed down whilst retaining his best.

Alien, a horrid name and bottle, delivers a feminine scent with soft woody spice and floral honey nectar.

I do however fear this is a scent I will tire of relatively quickly.

WHY is the bottle sssooooooooo tacky for such a great perfume??????? yuck

super smell- young, fresh, sexy

This is pretty much exactly as it's described; warm, woody and full of amber. The jasmine does kind of float over the top, not strong, but with that kind of subtle scent that jasmine has which makes it seem delicious and somewhat cloying to anyone who smells it. Very lovely perfume,quite strong,though rather linear, but a challenge to the perfume world? No. It's not that original I'm afraid.

Normally, I won't even give a chance to try a fragrance with jasmine as one of its main components. I happened to sniff Bvlgari Jasmin Noir and detest it at all. Dusty jasmine and musk, musk, musk!

At the first time I tried this perfume, I don't have any idea that it has jasmine in the top note. All I can smell is a vivid, dark yet sexy, uniquely sweet scent that I've never smelled before. Soon as I searched for it in the internet, I found that the wonderful scent comes from jasmine! I was quite shocked as I never knew jasmine can be that nice.

Alien is really masterpiece, such an astounding mix of jasmine and amber. Moreover I agree with some other comments who think that this fragrance deserves the title of 'Angel' better than the original Angel. I only have a 15ml little bottle of this cute stone but will get the full-size one soon for sure!

*edited: I recently bought a 30ml sized one. Yay! It worths every penny you spent, plus the bottle is truly elegant and cool!

My young daughter wears this and LOVES it. She gets lots of compliments. So I treated myself as I liked it on her and providing you do not over do it..it can be a beautiful scent. I think too many women spray on too much of the heavier scents which can be so off putting. Just a little of this on the skin can be wonderful, for nights full of soft warm togetherness - not for doing the shopping in!

strongly recommended for young women.I bought this one for my wife and every time she wear it, i sniffff

Totally agree with you Seneca, first time I smelled this, it was a student of mine. A thin girly girl,
with brains. I passed by and thought the smell really suited her, smelled like an angel.
I asked her what she was wearing, and she thought it was Angel. But I really dislike Angel and couldn't recognize it either.
Yesterday (two years later)I smelled Alien in the shop, and poof! There it was! I do like aliens as I love Star Trek ;-) I should call this Angel, as it is soft, fresh and ultra feminin!
Angel itself is more a Darth Vader to me: harsh, cruel and synthetic..

What a beautiful fragrance! This smells so heavenly and soft to me. Why isn't this one called "Angel"???

It does indeed smell different from anything I have ever worn. I LOVE IT! The scent stays with me all day and never needs to be reapplied. It is strong yet sensual. This is not for those who like a strong, different smell. The fact that is smells like nothing I have ever worn before totally captivated me. I am hooked....

Sorry Therry Mugler.. but i can NOT tolerate any of your perfumes. Alien, Angel and Innocense all gave me bad nausea when smelled them..
Too strong for me. I cant even tolerate the smell that comes from someone wearing these perfumes and sitting next to me !!

If you want to buy this, i suggest you to try on your skin and wait for a couple hours before you decide. I find this perfume very sexy, mysterious, one of a kind and intriguing when i smell from the bottle. So i bought one myself. The next day i was going to attend a party when i sprayed it on my neck, only one spray and it gave me a headache! I got nausea and Alien ruined my mood for the party. I can't believe that the smell turns into something different on my skin :(

I finally got my hands on sum of this stuff!!! I purchased a rollerball at Nordstroms for $16.00!!! This is seriously potent stuff so a rollerball is just fine w/ me lol... Very powdery, heavy on the jasmine and I do detect some spices... A PERFECT fall/winter fragrance!!! Sillage and lasting strength r phenominal so dont worry lol...

Very good, sensual, warm, sexy fragrance.

Hi.

When a man stops you and ask what are you wearing?It smells Great.You know it is worth every penny you spend and in my opinion THIERREY MUGLER fragrances have this sensible characteristic just like ALIEN.It is Dark,slightly Decadent and so Alluring.in other words Magnetic,Woody,Irresistible,Strong, Exotic,Glamorous,Sensuous and Modern.

At first spray it can be a powerful and heavy burst but as it fades i found it to be quite Lovely.It finished with Amber.This is a winning combination for a perfume that screams Seduction of skin as it takes your senses in a Intoxicating Fancy to a For-Off land as it smells like a Dark Mysterious forest in a fairy tale or a Princess living in the forest.

Totally most prominent to me is a mix of Jasmine and Wood.The perfume lasts all day only with 2 or 3 sprays.Cool Autumn Evenings and Dreary winter moments come alive with ALIEN and this is due the base notes and definitely Amber.If you want to draw the attention of Men to you in a Party this is a Noticeable perfume but not for Everyone.

Sillage?Impressive.

Longevity?Lasts and Lasts.

Thank You THIERRY MUGLER

8/10

I can't believe this fragrance only has three notes in it because it smells a lot more complex. I'm not a fan of this personally, but I can see why others might like it. I think this is one of those scents that does something weird on my skin, but probably works for many women.

On me, it smells really sour. I was very shocked by the first spritz because it smelled so much like wet potting soil! I didn't enjoy that at all. I don't get much of a woodsy smell until an hour has gone by. As the scent evolves, the potting soil note fades away, and what's left is more of a slightly sour amber smell. I never detected any jasmine or flowers whatsoever.

Alien is such a gorgeous fragrance, so so unique, you recognize it from a thousand fragrances! and the silage is amazing, also it lasts very much!! you must buy it if you have the money, it worths the money. I just bought the collector's edition cause i never had it, and the bracelet is awesome!

I just sprayed Alien on me and i can smell the magic of Christmas!
I live in Greece (south-east Europe) and today the wether reminds me spring, no winter for us :-(
Alien is woody and dark and sexy, not suitable for every woman, also not suitable for every occasion.
I have the bottle for 2 years and the smell has changed, now it is more woody and less floral.
At fist i could smell all this jasmine and gardenia scent, but now these notes are more light.
Despite this i still find the perfume charming and noticable.
I will definetely buy a bottle again.
Too strong, sensual with great lasting power!
I will never get bored of this fragrance.

It's definitely jasmine at full blast when you first spray this on. And I think you really have to LOVE jasmine in order to appreciate it. Alien knocks Bvlgari Jasmin Noir out of the park as far as sillage and overall loveability. It's soft & feminine, reminds me a tropical sea island mist carrying the scent of jasmine through my window. I like it, enjoy it, but all in all it's not 100% me in order to invest in a bottle. I will however treasure my small sample of it, and will certainly use it if I'm ever in the mood for something totally jasmine.

Im not going to say I love this perfume but I don't hate it either but im surely not going out to buy a bottle of it either! Theirrry Mugler sure comes up with very unique scents. Very floral smelling, very different from the sugary Angel. Nice though but I wouldn't pay $75 dollars for this but I do pay that for Angel so were even!

Alien has to be the most mesmerizing perfume I have EVER smelled.... No lie ....
However, it is different on every person so I suggest trying before buying.

Now when I got a 15ml bottle of this, which besides looks like a little roach corps I will finally review it.

The bottle design and the perfume itself are very original and I can see many reasons why someone wouldn't like it. Alien is very assertive, cold and kinda synthetic in first few minutes. Then it starts it's magic. Jasmine+woods=so simple, so awesome. It's very hard to describe because it can't be compared to any other fragrance.
Hey Alien, I could sing to you "Black metallic" by Catherine Wheel because I'm really incapable of descibing you in perfume-world-terms. With lots of love. W.

"I've never seen you when you're smiling
It really gets under my skin
You say it's easy when it's faster
I still can't guess what you're after

It's the colour of your skin
Your skin is black metallic
You're turning black metallic"

This scent is absolutely fascinating. It evokes a sense of being veiled and dreamy.

Smells exactly like rootbeer. I don't like it only because it reminds me so much of that rootbeer smell, but its tolerable,nothing out of the ordinary or diffrent like the name "alien" suggests.
---
tried this again two weeks later and I love it. It doesnt smell like rootbeer to me anymore but it does smell like if you were to put your nose to a can of rootbeer (not so carbonated) and smell the weight and atmosphere of it...does that make sense? It is unique, and I would wear it when I want to feel darker or mysterious
---
It is now my most favourite scent!!! Wow, how strange that it took me soo long to love it but I do and what I love most about it is that the intial spray and dry down are fairly similar, and this does not just dry down to a plain note. You can still smell the top and bottom notes on the dry down,and it is just as nice as when you first sprayed it.

it's so differnt ,, so unique ,, I didn't smelt anything nearly like it ,, loved it alot ..

This is a perfume that my explanation won't give justice.its just a special fragrance that should be sprayed with a light hand. It is a modern fashion forward scent. A alternative to the sweet winter scents. Its woodsywhite floral. I have to be in the mood for it or it gives me a headache. I learned to like out over time. The dry down is powdery. This is a scent that commands attention

I received a sample of this and have tested it at least 7 or 8 times, in order to give Alien a fair chance of captivating me. However, enough is enough, more would be masochistic. It starts out as a blast of something akin to nail polish, but nail polish smells too pleasant compared to Alien. It continues to smell harsh and synthetic until I can't take it anymore and wash it off. Which can be many hours. I smell benzoin in it which can be a real killer for me, though it is not listed in the notes. The jasmine smells very floozy to me. All in all,really a bad scent for me.

P.S. One more thing. I HATE Angel- I literally gag and unfortunately, my co worker who bought Angel and returned it, swapped it for that crap and I have to sniff it all day. If you’ve smelled Angel and think you wont Alien, they are completely different and I think you will be pleasantly surprised. (I haven’t tried his newest ‘Womanity’ yet)

- I am 25 and have worn this for about a year. I adore this scent. I get complements literally every time I wear it. It is very strong so one spray goes a long way- and it WILL last all day- no doubt. I had a co worker like it so much, she went and bought it- but ended up returning it b/c it didn’t smell the same on her as it did on me. I wasn’t a believer that “it’s your body chemistry and the perfume that have to click”- but after smelling this on her, I believe it b/c it resembled ‘Off’ Bug spray on her skin. It’s a very sexy smell, but softens up a lot to a nice floral. I would never spray it and run out the door b/c I would say it takes a good 30 minutes to calm down. My boyfriend complains when I spray it b/c it can be overpowering, but he loves how it smells on me afterward. I do recommend spraying it on freshly showered skin b/c it doesn’t last as long or smell as good if us use it later in the day. I think ive found my signature- definitely sample it before you buy because it’s pretty expensive- but one bottle will last a year (unless you like taking whore baths in your perfumes) so the price is even instead of buying 3 bottles of something cheaper.

13 years later Thierry Mugler proves she still has the magic. Alien is Mugler’s first major fragrance for women since Angel. The perfume bottle is somewhat odd but unique, It really is one of the most spectacular and original bottles I have ever seen.

What they do is put time and effort into a few select products, working hard on the design, and using the finest ingredients to produce something spectacular. Completely different from some of the most prestigious 'Parfums houses', who makes like two fragrances in 1 year, and you can practically smell the same scent in others fragrances out there, nothing new.

The initial notes are fairly woody, and I have to be honest, this strong woody smell, was the reason why I didn't like Alien. But I can't judge a Fragrance only by the first seconds, because Alien grows on your skin and change. This is like the kind of magic produced only by ''Big Scents''. In this metamorphosis, Alien reveals its hidden secret, showing us the beautiful notes of jazmin, and an oriental amber infusion that is deep and sexy.

One spray or squirt and I feel instantly powerful, glamorous and sexy. Is definitely a "night" perfume. The lasting power is Sublime!


Alien is truly a masterpiece!

THis,to me is a masterpiece.Its as if it were made for me.One sniff and I close my eyes and am transported to another world full of giant jasmine vines and tree trunks the size of airplanes! Such a beautiful haunting fume.I just love it above all others.THis is one u wont smell on every other person.Im thankful it goes so well with my body chemistry!

Gorgeous and very feminine. Lovely top notes and base, a perfect everyday perfume for a young at heart, elegant woman. Fresh, sophisticated, sensual. It smells divine on my skin, the ambery base is very comforting. Jasmine lovers will be in heaven wearing this. The smell really is out of this world.

This is a strange scent. It doesnt sit on your skin, but swirls around you. I really enjoy it. Its unique.

EDIT: I'm afraid this now makes me nauseus.

All of Mugler's fragrances are a little "Alien," and I mean that in the best sense. Out of this world and vastly unique. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but the truth is... people degrade and cast out the things that they do not understand. Maybe your chemistry doesn't work with Alien, or Angel... but don't deny its quality and efforts.

I tried this one on today on me and it smelled nice but I kept smelling something strange almost like menthal in it ( guess it was the jasmine everyone is talking about ). I came to the conclusion that it might be offensive to some people and chose against it. I washed my arm good and could still smell it. It has staying poser that's for sure.
I've retried this and got a much better reaction, guess you must try this in different seasons. I no longer find anything annoying about this scent but I am not running to buy it either. Perhaps the next time I try it I will fall in love.

I don't own this scent..."yet" but I just sprayed my sample on myself and OMFG this is divine. I sprayed the tiniest drop because I was quite wary of anything from thierry mugler after my heinous experience with his angel.

This is no angel. This is an alien from a world where instead of breathing in oxygen they breathe in the most etheral scented air of flowers and bliss.

I might just have to throw all caution to the wind and buy myself a bottle of this today. What a unique and transcending experience.

Thumbs up for alien.

Alien is deep, smoky, gothic, mysterious. I smell something like a combo of tobacco leaf + patchuli + mint, that's weird to my nose.

Totally has no sweetness, would not be sensual on a little woman, it's for bold and confident women only.

Lasting is amazing, 7~8 hrs. Impressive enough, but alien to my taste.

It is a good quality perfume, pleasant, like the Calvin Klein Euphoria EDP, recommended.

Ok, I know this is a cold weather scent so trying it for the first time in the summer may not reveal its total personality. However, I asked for suggestions for bold & daring perfumes. This one kept coming up, I got it, and it was sitting there looking at me, daring me. What was I to do?

I apologize ahead of time because detailing this perfume is difficult as there are notes I can’t find adequate words for. There are most definitely more than 3 main notes to Alien; I think it’s the perfumer’s way of keeping Alien mysterious. At first spray there is a completely foreign (or alien, lol) note to it that I can’t begin to describe. I also get an “Ice” note. Maybe it’s more of a feeling than a note but it’s unmistakable. I also get some sort of berry note, as well as sweet and vanilla.

Although Jasmine is listed as the top note, I don’t get it for a few minutes. Either that or it’s overpowered by all the other opening notes. As it progresses, I get the jasmine which is a bit sharp at some points imo. I also get a creamy/milky note and some of the wood note. The amber here is deep, sensual, and warm but I suspect there are other resins of some sort. There’s another note in there that’s kind of primal that I can’t quite identify. Vetiver maybe? It’s not earthy, I don’t think it’s patchouli, it’s not spicy. Whatever it is, the jasmine keeps you from pinpointing it. The note allows you a glimpse every now & again but not enough to figure out what it is. Just adds to the mystery I guess.

This scent is unlike anything I have smelled before. It’s disturbing in a way, and yes, alien. As it stands (in the summer heat), I am intrigued by it but the berry & sharp jasmine make me hesitate a little. There is enough to it even with that, that I would still call this one suited for my personality. I wonder if I like it this much now in the heat of the summer, how I will feel once it’s at its full potential in the winter.

P.S. The bottle looks like a chunk of mined amethyst with an emerald facet cut to me.

I wanted to like it; the purple fluid, the intriguing name, the beautiful jasmine note. Unfortunately I get a licorice smell somewhere in this that throws off any enjoyment I might have otherwise gotten out of this.I despise licorice smells so its very obtrusive and rather distracting from the main event to me.

I will say that the dry down is very nice, and the notes intertwine beautifully. Like Angel, it is a statement fragrance and a little goes a long way. This deep and smokey jasmine is gorgeous, but I can't get it to work for me. It is definitely a mature and confident fragrance, for a woman who
is comfortable in her own skin and not afraid of the alien within.

EDIT: Purple candy. If you can imagine what that would smell like, then you have this fragrance. Try as I might, I get no jasmine, no sandalwood, nothing but purple candy. Rather like these grape flavored purple teddy bear lollipops I used to have as child.

Mysticism and sensuality mixed and poured into a bottle, that is a brief summary of my feelings for Alien. Wonderful and genuine jasmine, wonderful aromatic woods and gorgeous amber. I bought it without testing it and I love it. 11 hours later I can feel a sweet, wonderful, caramel-like (!) scent on the skin.

...and even though I said "Alien" doesn't trick the subconscious or resemble anything carnal, I must add that there is a watery-milky quality to the jasmine in "Alien", that can set the mind traveling far back--really far back, like, to being a baby. Clean jasmine that doesn't overripen into something putrid on the skin, can do that--mimic an estrogen-laced skin scent, which might explain why Jasmine is often rated so highly by heterosexual men taking part in fragrance studies. No wonder the guys who have smelled this on me went mad with delight. It screams Mommy/"friendly femme-bot" and promises lots of pleasant things to them. 'nuff said.

As per "Wristsniffer":
"...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 completely agree. In another review elsewhere, I mentioned how it almost evokes freeze-dried or cold-preserved jasmine and maybe lilies. Like fresh, waxy-crisp jasmine blooms, preserved in a chemical bath and then chilled. If the jasmine in "Alien" wasn't so clean-smelling and not remotely carnal, I'd even say it might veer dangerously close to evoking cold or "clammy" skin. But the jasmine isn't and so, it doesn't. "Alien" also brings to mind cool, windswept nights and all the excitement that goes along with them; evenings out and about, on the town at carnivals or movies or maybe even anticipation of a romantic tryst. Minty-fresh breath and the exciting moment when you can feel a change of seasons on the air. It also makes me think of fresh, cool, clean linen and rolling down sheets for the night; sanitized but with the lingering scent of "musky human skin", forever embedded into the fabric--nomatter how many times you clean them. Like very old, but very clean cotton t-shirts. "Alien" also has that almost dewy-austere quality that Dior's "Dune" does, bringing to mind sand dunes and desert, but then it evolves into something far more accessible and technicolor in character, as the jasmine blooms begin to warm and weep with condensation. I'm ususally someone who totally dislikes fragrances that scream "I'm a synthetic perfume, I don't remotely resemble anything that could swirl up from skin without topical application" but the synthetic quality of "Alien" is one of the things that makes it so incredibly beautiful; it's art, pure and simple. It doesn't have to pass the test of tricking the sniffer's subconscious because it's interesting enough when it's in-your-face expressive. But yet, it still remains unintrusive. Odd, beautiful, gloriously fake and fabulous scent. The crystalline beauty of weirdness.

Very strange, but it can be fascinating! First very stron jasmin, and after 20 minutes I love it!!! I prefere it for fall/winter. Very special perfume like nothing others.

This is a very intense unlike any other. It is what the name represents. Unknown.....It starts strong very jasmine, and not to be tried on a hot summer day. It drys to a sweet warm amber and something I cannot figure out. I wear it if I want to add a mystery to my day. I can say this, compliments come, and I have yet to smell it on another.

For a perfume consisting of only 3 notes, I must say that this one had me fooled into thinking there was definitely more than just three notes.

I dare say that the test results were far beyond average!

The opening consists of a beautiful floral note that is gently cloaked in velvety wood and is laid gently down with amber.

The jasmine, wood and amber combination are in harmony. This alien perfume has broken through the cliches of normal perfumes.

I tried Alien Sunessence earlier, and enjoyed it, but wasn't crazy about it. After thoroughly testing the original Alien, I can honestly say I'm IN LOVE with this one! When I first sprayed it on, it was jasmine, but the kind of jasmine I can appreciate- earthy, natural jasmine, not common and synthetic. However, the opening was also quite loud. I felt surrounded by the fragrance wherever I went, despite having applied just one spray. But I wasn't suffocated by it and still found it enjoyable. About an hour later, it changed into something incredibly magical, lush, and sensual. It warmed up and became more woody, and wasn't quite as in-your-face. I didn't expect my boyfriend to approve, but what do you know, he was impressed! I think I love this dark, unique, bold, and feminine perfume. It's nice to find a fragrance that says "woman" without being too sweet, too powdery, etc. Definitely on my wish list!

Alien upon opening reminds me somewhat of Rochas Alchimie, a perfume of infinite beauty. Alien however seems to be more a Single White Female than a true usurper to the throne though.

I find Alien to be much more complex than the three listed notes would suggest. Firstly, Jasmine by itself would smell more indolic, this particular jasmine smelt like lemon and headaches to me.

Secondly, random unnamed woodsy notes smell random, such as if you put a mixture of rejected wood into a wood chipper and then took a tincture of their mutilated remains.

All this, with amber to fix it at the base? I really think there is more to this sordid story than Thierry is letting on.

Putting aside my suspicions for one moment, the overall result is a mess but if you name your perfume 'Alien' then that may very well be the point.

If you like your scents deep, dark, heady & potent, then give Alien a try, just be careful not to overapply on your test!

My own association with something alien would not be this fragrance. I'ts a lot better than Angel (which I really do not like), but it's not a smell which would pleasantly surprise me if another woman walked by wearing this. It's a bit heavy and not a very happy kind of fragrance, but I can appreciate why others love it. Just not my thang, I'm afraid.

This is something absolutely exquisite,sophisticated. I love it and admire it a lot. I like it that it is not shy and restrained but rather happy to expose itself. It is a fragrance for a confident woman.Does anyone else smells some strong mint??!!

I love this perfume with the lotion
but dont put on too much of the perfume because it gets VERY strong and changed the scent a little...

I smelt this on a woman at work and just had to ask her what she was wearing...it was making my mouth water! At first I thought it might be D&G Light Blue, but it was this. It's very clean and crisp, & yes...it's strong. But it's beautifully captivating & makes the perfect fresh signature scent. I must buy a bottle soon!

Alien is the strangest scent that I've ever encounter. On me it has 3 facets. One is milky jasmine, one is sweet gasoline and one is metallic grape wine. And these facets do not at all blend together. This fragrance is so unpredictable. Just right when you think you get the milky jasmine, you turn around, the metallic grape wine shows up and there's no sign of the jasmine any where. I'm a guy and although this one is a fragrance built around a flower and targeted to women, I find it way more masculine than the floral scents for men out there like Kenzo Power or Fleur du Male. A friend of mine once comments that this scent will smell boring on a woman but on a guy it smell really interesting.There are people I know wear this and only get the jasmine, they call this a boring / unoriginal scent. Or they only get the metallic grape wine and cannot stand it. Well, I guess I am one of those luckier ones when abducted by Alien.

One downside is that I do not have huge sillage and insane longevity with this one. Just average like all other Thierry Mugler fragrances.

IT IS AN AMAZING PERFUME!
WHENEVER I SPRAY IT ON ME I SMELL THE JASMIN FOR ALMOST HALF AN HOUR AND THEN I GET A WARM, WOODY, CREAMY SCENT THAT IS UTTERLY SEDUCTIVE!
I COULD SWEAR THERE IS A CARAMEL NOTE IN THE BASE NOTES EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT MENTIONED ANYWHERE.
AFTER AN HOUR AND A HALF ALL I GET IS CARAMEL AND IT SMELLS WONDERFUL; INNOCENT AND SEDUCTIVE AT THE SAME TIME.
IT IS SO MUGLER....GREAT SILLAGE AND LONGEVITY.

I'm really taken with this perfume!! I have worn it all day and received nothing but compliments :) I did test this once before and got a raging headache, so I was wary of trying again, but recently got an 8ml bottle and used it, fallen in love with it and simply *must* buy a full bottle! Its almost sweet, woodsy, the jasmine is spicy but beautiful.

I will give word of warning though - wear it lightly, I sprayed this several times, and the fragrance lasted for well over 10hrs and not in any fading capacity at all! It was still as strong and wafting as when I first sprayed! The sillage on this is absolutely lovely, people can smell it when you step into a room - but you won't scare them 100 miles away either, not arrogant or bold, certainly no shrinking violet, Alien knows how to turn a head without getting in their face.

I really love it, suitable for almost any occasion, just watch the hands when applying ;)

Never expected to like it... but I do now! On me it smells like some vanilla with woodsy notes. Strong, my mom could smell it in all it's glory, even though I didn't notice that. Mysterious, really reminds me of the purple colour.

Alien is a beautiful fragrance for lovers of woody scents, and that includes me. But I can detect only woody notes after 10 mins of wearing it till the end. Just like Angel (which I think is the only fragrance I truly hate), the juice Alien has no connection with its name, the ads & the bottle.

This is my first frangrance review, i thought i would start with my favorite. Firstly let me explain what i think of when smelling a fragrance, to me a fragrance is not just a nice smell it is an accessory, a statement which completes an outfit. So when smelling a fragrance i think of clothes and where it will be worn.

The lady i imagine wearing Alien is gorgeous and sophisticated, she oozes confidence.She wears a deep onyx coloured dress that compliments her cascading dark hair.She would be going to a beautiful restaurant lit with the flicker of candles on a frosty winters night. When she removes her jacket her frangrance wafts into the air and draws everyone towards her.

When smelling Alien I can immediately smell the jasmine, it is my favorite flower thats probably why i am drawn to it. I can vaguely detect the woody notes but can most certainly smell the amber. On my skin this fragrance works well, and lasts for a very long time. It is deep and sensual.

I just washed my hands/upper arms in a sample shower wash, then dabbed some sample body lotion on top.

Help! I can't breathe! *cough*!

Jasmine-laden, yes, but also a heavy SPICINESS that makes me recoil.

My husband and daughter also cleverly detected a strong grape -- something that eludes me due to the SCREAMING jasmine/spice combo.

For the life of me I can't see wearing this during the daytime, or during summer. Or at all, really. *Shudder*!

i tested a little of this today and its was a surprise to me that i felt a almost cola aroma with it; very velvety and friendly scent!

Love it, have been wearing it since 2005 when it first came out, I get so many compliments when I wear it. I do agree it is a strong fragrance more for the winter time, but now during the warmer months I am wearing Alien Sunessence and it is just as good.

Alien, is the best and sexiest perfum I have ever laid my nose on! Worth the buy

I fell in love with this perfume few years ago and thought it could be my signature scent. It is so unusual to me and very significant. But later I couldn't stand it on me because it is really heavy so that I gave it to my mother. Anyway, it's very extraordinary and lasts forever! Even one spritz is too much.

I really have tried to like this one, just because I thought the commercial was gorgeous. But everytime someone else wears this, I think 'ehwll..' It's so heavy, but in a wrong way. It gets me nauseous. The summer edition -that yellow one- I find even worse with that extra citrus going on! Am curious about the new one though (womanity, something like that?); maybe after alien and angel failing on me, the caviar will do the trick!?

Jasmine? Wood notes? All I got in my tester vial was LICORICE.

It is sensual, yes, but quite linear. Nothing really happens after the top notes explosion has tamed down.

It's not a bad thing if you're a fan of licorice. However, I'm not, so bye-bye Alien.

Alien is a lovely, very "safe" perfume. After testing both the EDP and the Perfume Oil, I settled on the latter. One thing that I enjoy about Thierry Mugler, as a brand, are the divine bath and body products that accompany their best-selling fragrances. Everything from hair mist to rich body creams to oils. The quality of Alien Perfume Oil is superb and it is a beautiful and concentrated way to enjoy the scent of Alien. I find Alien to be extremely soft and rather linear on my skin. Mostly, I get a gorgeous Amber note and a subtle dose of Jasmine. Alien smells a great deal like my Stella McCartney Stella, (which I adore). Yet, as much as I love Stella, it has very little staying power. To my nose and on my skin, Alien is quite similar to Stella, but Alien packs a little more punch and it lasts for hours and hours. All in all, Alien doesn't "wow" me, but I like it enough to buy it again. This can be worn effortlessly, day or night, any time of year.

Gorgeous scent, superugly bottle.

I cannot believe I could stay away from this beauty for so many years. I guess I made the mistake of trusting the large amount of negative reviews towards it and was expecting something kitschy and obnoxious.
I was obviously wrong about Alien and only now after becoming familiar with its scent have I come to understand that its name stands for out of this world, extravagant, intriguing, and not for weird, bizarre or freakish.
Out of all the fragrances I tried so far I can definitely say that Dominique Ropion's creations are among the ones that suit me the most and this is no exception. You can definitely tell his touch by the complexity, character and perfect ballance of ingredients in this potion. I found that some sites have Alien listed as woody-oriental whereas others describe it as soft-floral. To me it's both. Calling it woody-oriental would only leave out its heavenly jasmine top notes, while describing it as soft-floral would fail to comprise the creamy amber-woody richness of its base. It's definitely a warm and quite potent fragrance which makes it perfect for cold weather. I can see how its sweetness doesn't appeal to everybody, after all no perfume manages to suit everyone's tastes , as for its heaviness I realize it would be hard to put up with if over-applied so I believe the key is moderation.
Fortunatelly ,staying power is exceptional with Alien which is more than I can say for many others, including some of my favourites. I am so happy to have finally found a perfume which doesn't make me choose between 5 minutes of fragrant bliss and 10 hours of olfactory agony!

Alien is a mysterious dark and veryyyy sexy perfume people can't stay calm to his smell.alien remainds me the other space and all the lights that aruond and its awesome!

I won’t say anything new - beautiful jasmine, amazing staying power and silage. It is a great fragrance, no doubt, but it just lacks innovation for me - though I never had it, I feel like I'm already a little bored with it.

Straight up space jasmine-actually a very clean scent on my skin. Staying power and sillage are outstanding, lasts for days on clothes. Be careful applying because it can take the air out of a room! It's quite unique- instantly recognizable when i smell it on others which is becoming more frequent(damnit!). There really isn't anything like it for comparison so a skin test should be done first to see if it agrees with you.

At first application I got anise, pepper and grapes. Yuck. Softened with wear and got smokier. I prefer drydown much more than the opening but even so, this is just low like to me. I don't find it overpowering if applied lightly.

I had this perfume once, but I cannot smell it anymore. It is powdery and magical, but I "oversniffed" it somehow.
Maybe I will want to have it again in a few years... But then it´s more for wintertime. Like it, but at the moment I can´t stand it.

According to the notes and liking Angel I was expecting to be fond of Alien.
But to me it was rather boring, smelling someting like JPG Classic with an cold and artificial undertone.
At first I thought it would not work on my skin but one of my friends wears it and on her it has something disturbing to my nose still.
I find it to be too overpowering, too screaming and too synthetic for my personal taste. I don´t really understand why most people are so enthusiastic about it.
Nonetheless I have to admit that its staying power is unbeatable. When I had opened the mini-bottle the entire room and my fingers smelled like it for a whole day.
Too bad I am not a fan. ;)

Thierry Mugler ALIEN reminds me of a somewhat diluted version of the opening of ANGEL, which is not a good thing to my nose. I for one do not delight in this grape jelly/plum jam-slathered jasmine concoction. Simply too thick and gooey. Too many other things as well! If there is wood in here somewhere, it has been drowned out by the dreaded grape jellied jasmine. Not for me. Enough said!

Reading from the description, this perfume has Indian jasmine as a top note. I don't know what is it; true jasmine or parijat (Nyctanthes arbor-tristis), which I have never smelt. So what I notice the most when I smell Alien is heavy jasmine, wet wood, nuts, vanilla, and also grapes as said below; in my skin, this perfume gets better with time and is far easier to stand than Jasmin Noir by Bulgari, which seem to be so generally loved.
I wouldn't buy it, I actually don't like it, but it has some good things. I can understand that Alien is to some people something similar to what Eden is to me and others who love it. If Eden makes me think of deep greens and rainy climates, I find Alien to be deeply blue, evoking summer Arabian nights: Jasminum sambac behind the fences, old men singing in the doors of their homes, species and tobacco, and people going somewhere through the narrow streets.

Not for everyday, very strong and lasts forever! I can feel jasmine, grapes and vanilla in it. Special for winter, or warm days too, only if you can stand it.

I ordered a test vial of this.

The jasmine comes on accompanied by a sweetness,which makes it seem like it may be a playful fragrance. But then it dries down to a more mysterious spicy wood.
I couldn't imagine wearing this when I was younger, but I think it suits me perfect now at 33.
I really really want a full bottle of this. I love it.

I find this perfume confusing. To start with, the entire advertising campaign & image lead me to believe it would be a light, airy ethereal experience, which it most certainly is not- anything but! I think it's an amazing and original perfume and enjoyed it enough on first trying to purchase a small bottle, but after a couple of times wearing it, I found it far too 'present' and began to grow tired and then seriously sick of the stink! I tried it a couple more times, but same thing- overwhelming, overpowering, over...everything! Ended up giving it away. I enjoy the opening best, I find it unique, imaginative and seductive, but the drydown and everything after is just too strong and nauseating and seems to block out all other smells. Definitely not for the fainthearted- EVERYONE will know you're in the room, you've been in the room, you're in the next room, you're in the next town even! It's just very, very 'present'....so be warned!

This is the best perfume ever in my opinion! it's unlike anything else on the market. yes, it is expensive, but more than worth it. it smells amazing on a night out if you use a fair few sprays, but for any other time, use sparingly! it is such a strong scent which definately gets you noticed - for good reasons! but on the downside, it could be too overpowering for some people. it's definately a warm, woody, sexy scent.

I normally shy away from oriental fragrances, but I was intrigued by the bottle on my sister's dresser when I recently went to visit. Wow! What an interesting fragrance! I actually quite like it which really is a miracle. If you are looking for something unusual - give this a try, you might just fall in love with it.

i often wear this on dates, intense, deep and sensual, often get good comments when i wear this, like alot of thierry mugler frags

hmm yes this is an improvement, i like this wayy better then angel and ect.. will buy it in the winter or just put it on my christmas list ^_^
at least if its not getting tooo populair...i dont like to smell like thousand other woman

Thierry Mugler's creativity really comes through for this wonderful fragrance, at first I was not sure I liked it when I smelled it from the bottle. I really think you have to try this one on the skin, because what I am getting now while wearing it, is quite different from what I smelled at first.

The initial spray on my wrist is very strong, you certainly should not over apply this one, and it has settled into a very beautiful scent.

I smell the jasmine, but such a unique and beautiful crisp jasmine, and to my nose I swear I smell a soft lilac - though it is not listed in the notes.

Dark and sexy, mysterious...a perfume that shouts I am invincible, and I am all woman - I can do anything...very sensual, very different.

Ultra long lasting and excellent sillage. I can still smell it on me many hours later.

You will be noticed when you wear this one. I love it and my husband loves it too!

Would I buy it again, absolutely YES!

I just can't get enough of this stuff!! I swear, it's addictive for me! i'm in love with this fragrance. it's dark and mysterious.. so wonderful!! always draws compliments all over.

I don't know why, but the scent is very vanilla on me. I get some faint amber note but mostly...vanilla! maybe it's jasmine note playing tricks on me, but i doubt that.
The scent comes out sweet and gentle on me, not very "alien" at all. A little bit synthetic tho, kinda like a bug spray...Not to bad in general, but I expected something wild and completely extraordinary, and instead i got a wearable version of avon far away (which i hate by the way) but this one seems nicer and more refined.
hm..still feel like I haven't made up my mind on this one!

Somebody gave me this sample.It is jasmin, way to strong, however, there ir other notes, like pepper, and something synthetic. It is contraversy perfume! One thing it is not for everyone: for those , who like challenge to face with either lots of compliments or vice versa.The purple, lilac colour of a bottle is very good. I wouldn't mind to have a small bottle as a present, but I wouldn't be desperate to buy it myself.

Help!!! It’s the attack of the killer jasmine! That was my initial reaction when I sprayed myself with a sample that another Fragrantican kindly tucked into a package of other things. Given the name, I was expecting something weird and ethereal and space-alien like, not a synthetic jasmine monster gone berserk, swallowing everything in its path. The jasmine smell is not bad - in moderation it could probably be lovely - it’s just waaaaay too strong. Along with the jasmine there’s also a sugary tonka note and a generic drugstore perfumey note, presumably the “wood and amber”.

I debated whether or not to scrub right away, but decided to give the thing a chance to develop, meaning subside a little. However, it just kept going, and going, and going, full speed ahead. The smell was so strong that my throat was getting irritated, and I was starting to develop a headache, so I did cave in and go scrub. After a prolonged and vigorous full scrub with soap and hot water, the scent is cut down to something still quite strong, but at least bearable.

Now I see why this perfume is called Alien. It’s one of those creatures that masquerades as an earthly being, but then sticks its creepy tendrils into your flesh and parasitizes your body. Now I’ll never be rid of it, and it will hatch baby jasmine monsters that will pop out of my skin and infect everyone who comes within 400 meters. I’m so glad I tried this when I was home alone! The scent itself isn’t too bad, and I could actually imagine enjoying it if it were diluted to about 10% of what it is in the vial and dabbed on exceedingly sparingly.

If you like delicate, quiet perfumes, then Alien is not for you. I think Alien is a gorgeous perfume, albeit a strong one with lots of spice and kick.

The jasmine in the top is very peppery and thick; this fragrance has an incredibly heavy, spicy opening. I always waver between wanting to wash some of the first spray away because it's so darn strong and taking deep breaths to enjoy the exotic richness of the peppery Indian jasmine.

But once the woodsy notes emerge, the jasmine is rounded and smoothed out a bit; the scent does becomes somewhat less peppery- but certainly not weaker. If you dislike jasmine, you'd probably do well to avoid Alien, because the jasmine is dominant for at least the first thirty minutes of wear.

The amber adds a lot of powdery softness to the dry down, and a shade of sweetness. The scent becomes markedly less strong, although it does last for several days on clothes. In the end, I smell jasmine, woodsy accords and lightly sweet powder. It's quite pretty.

This perfume makes me feel confident and sexy. I have it on my list of perfumes that I love. While I certainly wouldn't wear it every day, it is a sensual treat for a special occasion. I think Alien is best suited for nighttime and cold weather. I only have a small vial of this perfume, but I hope to get a full bottle eventually.

Fantastic perfume. 1st smelt it on someone else and had to know what it was. Its definately a 'hello im here' scent but is not cloying or disturbing in any way, it just keeps you fascinated and wanting more. For saying it only has 3 ingredients it smells far more multi-faceted. Its ambery,musky,sexy and out of this world. The longevity is the best i have ever come across in a fragrance! This is easily a 24hr scent and is pefect for any occasion,day or night. This is an absolute 'must-have' p.s loving the bottle ;) x

I liked the simple linear nature of the notes of this one (even though I really dislike Angel). I offered my wrist to my husband though and he didn't like it all. I guess I won't be buying a bottle then unless I sit in one room and him in another !! :o)

I experienced Alien today.I was ready or so i thought,for the spray but i really wasnt.First a circle of flowers floated arround me,taking over all my senses then it was gone.I felt like Alice falling down the rabbit hole.All around me were sweet woods and tendrils hanging down,reaching out to me.Instead of wanting to hurt me,when they touched my body,they bloomed into beautiful exotic flowers that lovinly stroked my skin.soon,yhey were gone and i was back out of the looking hole covered my a warm woolen shawl surrounded by peace and happiness. NO,i didnt buy it but,im going to.if for nothing else to wear at home.i loved i mean loved it.It is the only fragrance that has transported me to somewhere else.

hi amberglow,can i ask you something?where did you buy this?

At first it smelled like an insecticide on me. After a couple of minutes it turned into a sweet fine smell which was good but not enough to fell in love... It is not unique plus boring for me.

gross I tested this today, and it reminds me of joop for men, mixed with nail polish remover! no wonder it's called Alien

love the scent. i tried it at macy's yesterday and I can still smell it from my sweater that i wore yesterday. what a long lasting scent. definitely 5 stars.

ok...i have 2 samples of this one...
Each time i use it, i feel sick....the same feeling like "car sick"!!! This might sounds crazy, but it has the same effect on me !!! Maybe because of the combination between the Sweet Jasmine and the Tabacco...SMOKY ...So strong , I don't know...;( IT'S JUST TOO MUCH.!
Sorry Alien !!! BUT I CAN'T WEAR YOU ;(

But...the first time i felt it on this girl, i had to know what it was ! very strong , unique , like nothing i've felt before !
*** Nice fragrance , i admire it's originality,too bad it's not for me ;(

Does anyone have a bottle they don't want and is willing to trade for something? I only have a couple samples & I desire a full bottle.

I have never smelled a perfume I hated more and immediately than Alien. Recoil. Stink on steroids. I had to wash it off because it was so sickening. It must be the unadulterated "Indian jasmine" opening. I respect Cacherel's LouLou as a truer Jasmine, even though it is not for me either, it didn't make me feel sick.

It is an outstanding fragrance. Quite strong, so one needs to use it in moderation. Lasts all day. It is one of the best jasmine perfumes I ever used. Extraordinary, a masterpiece.

I've been wearing Alien for three days now. When I first sprayed it on, it seemed unbelievably strong, with jasmine, and some other things in the background that I couldn't quite pick up on. Within a couple of minutes though, it settled into something very sweet and creamy with amber. I liked it a lot. But this perfume deserves its name. The entire day, I would be struck with odd little smells popping up to say "hi!" They would drift to the top, then suddenly vanish. Several of the things I smelled were:

Crushed tropical fruit tums
bug spray
nail polish
baby powder
sour cherry
plastic (like a Band-Aid)
Grape Kool-Aid

None of these were unpleasant, just...strange. I'd notice it, then I'd smell myself, and I still smelled delicious. It was as if the perfume was pulling a "Chevy Chase," making funny faces behind my back. Or when you see a lovely white diamond, but it catches your eye with a flash of blue or green or red. I like this a lot for every day. I don't know yet how it will play on a hot date, but I'll edit this when it happens.

True masterpiece! There is nothing that would come close to this scent. It’s almost unbelievable that something like that was created by a human. Scent itself is impossible to describe, you just have to try it.

I think this one is waaaayy to heavy and overpowering.. What I love about a perfume is that its subtile.. That only people who come close to you smell a nice scent..

With Alien you can smell a person even when they left an hour ago.. That's not nice! That's overwhelming and it makes that you really want to breathe in some fresh air.

Wonderful. Alien is sexy, power, a really feminine scent. I love it!

sometimes it smells good sometimes it smells real bad. dont buy before get a sample to try for a few days! it gots to fit you perfectly like a tight suit otherwise it aint working. but i think its always like that with an oriental woody fragrance

This is a very strong, agressive smell. It is bothering when I wear it, too much, smells like medicine.
Although, I sampled it one night, finding nothing else to spray in my purse on a night out, and a guy complemented me on how fresh and flowery I smelled... . Two adjectives I would never use for Alien, maybe I get the wrong impression?

This smelled very soapy on me and just got stronger as time went on. I was on a night out with some old friends and wearing Alien and they kept saying, i smell soap!

Alien does get noticed as people have asked me what i was wearing, but im not sure it was in a good way.

I liked the initial smell but as time went on couldnt wait to scrub it off, it just didnt suit me. Glad i only bought a tester.

I am still experimenting with perfumes and expected orientals to be warm but for me quite a few I have tried are cold and soapy! Guess i will keep experimenting.

I got two little sample vials of this to try. At first spray I was mildly impressed with the depth of the jasmine and good sillage, but didn't really experience any "wow" factor as such. My partner, however, did comment that he thought I smelt good.
I spritzed on a tiny bit at work, and four different people wandered up to me to tell me how good I smelt. One colleague told me that his aunt used to wear this and he adored it, used to breathe in deep whenever she walked past. I said that I wasn't entirely sure how taken I was with it. His reply was "Well, I think it's wonderful. It's indescribable. Please keep wafting some my way!"
Maybe in a chemical sense it's quite simplistic. But having worn it for a little while, I think that's the beauty of it. It isn't a multitude of smells thrown together, it's a few scents, composed magnificently, that are wonderfully complementary. The jasmine is deep and dark. The drydown is quite beautiful, woody but feminine. The whole composition is so well blended and works together beautifully.
I think if I had tried this at a perfume counter, alongside other perfumes, I might have discounted it completely. But having worn this for a little while, Alien is slowly working some sort of spell on me. It's taken a little while for me to really "get it", but now I just love it. It makes me feel very feminine, elegant, strong but mysterious at the same time. I'll definitely be buying myself a bottle very soon!

I fell in love with Alien at first sniff....Absolutely LOVE IT!!!

I adore the bottle the design the ad the imagery, but the scent smells exactly like Jean Paul Gaultier for Men on me ;o(

[an ex used to wear this and oddly enough it made his ears smell like maggots, I know that's gross, but it's true, the strong ice cream/maggot scent lasted longer then the relationship! I really don't like the JPG scent, makes me feel ill, so I was really disappointed with Alien] ;o(

Stunning! It's strong(maybe the strongest of all those I own)but not annoying, and it really is so sexy . The lasting power is great also, on me it can last easily for 12 hours...this one is for certain my favourite!!!

I used a sample vial of this perfume in no time flat and loved it so much that my DH surprised me with a FB for Christmas.

There is nothing alien about this perfume to me, it's incredibly pleasurable and straightforward. As soon as I spray it on, I smell very strong and pretty sweet jasmine, very natural. This smell reminds me how as a a child I was walking home from the beach and every time I stopped at the jasmine bush. I'd stick my entire face in the bush until my nose turned all yellow from the pollen. I wore the yellow pollen proudly as I kept walking home.

Within minutes the smell of jasmine becomes less intense and the woodsy notes start to work their magic on my skin, making the floral scent warm and delicious... when I wear Alien, this beautiful warm jasmine smell stays with me about 2 hours, give or take, and then turns into a sweet amber. This amber is sweeter than any amber I have tried before (Ambre de Cabochard from Gres, Sensuous Amber from Bath and Body Works, and definitely sweeter than the darker Ambre from L'Occitane en Provence) and it stays forever, at least overnight.

I do think it's a strong perfume, but I cannot help it wearing it both day and night. I am counting on true friends to let me know if it's obnoxious, but I've only gotten compliments so far.

Hmmmm, I'm afraid I can't love this like some others do. For some reason there's a strong black pepper like aura to it on me that's much like the pepper in Juicy Couture Eau de Couture. I don't get the creamy jasmine.

While it's not what I'm looking for right now...I can see why this one is popular. It is very ethereal..soft and dramatic at the same time.

YES !! A lover of orientals that I am this is somehow different than the rest.It's divine and so ,so sexy.She follows no one and makes her own rules.A must in my collection !!

I think it is a modern classic. So few fragrances stand out. Alien along with a few others do. If you are not wanting to smell like everyone else and are a bit daring then TRY IT! It sure isnt Angel, but I think a much better fragrance.

It does start out sweet, but the woody notes in the drydown bring a whole new dimension to it. A very good choice for anyone who wants to try something off the radar.

Different as all Thierry Mugler creations. I really like the 'alien' concept and there is definetely something ethereal about this scent. Strong and linear this scent is nothing like all other fragrances.

Even though I would not wear it myself I still think it is a strong TM creation. Actually I wouldnt wear any of TM perfumes but I still respect these fragrances for their originality.

Alien and I had a promising start. For a few minutes I even thought that I might buy it. But no. On me: Too boring monotone and repellant rather than alluring. Not for everyone.

First try i don't like, but then later try i fell in love. I feel very sexy with alien. Not for every one, most of my friends find it over powered. But definietly different and modern, very nice evening and special occasion perfume, absolutely not for everyday use.

Remember sampling this before on a perfume counter - and ending up washing it off pretty soon.

I'm afraid that history is going to repeat itself. There was a neat little sample pack between the sheets of a magazine... ...and I sprayed.

To be honest I don't really get the full concept of Alien. What is the otherwordly component of this heady, almost single note perfume? On my skin the base of amber and wood is almost undetectable, the all intrusive, cloying jasmine keeps them so tightly in the background for several hours that I really don't have a nerve to wait the drydown, especially when the jasmine starts to turn sour on my skin. After half an hour there are detectable aromas of beer and sweat lingering under the still aggressive flower. To be honest I'm pretty scared about the thought of universe filled with jasmines...

This is not to say that I don't like jasmine, but my jasmine needs to be more rounded and wrapped to other components to actually work. Dior Poison is mentioned here before - and I would say that all Alien notes are present in original Poison, but the Poison blend has other components too, being so much more complex and interesting. In Poison jasmine acts merely as a carrier of strong and interesting sillage, on Alien it plays a solo. Poison is much more wearable on me, although it needs very light hand use.

I'm not a big fan of Alien packaging, either. It looks cheap and there is too much try without much of design success. Ok, I like the basic concept but not the execution. Edit - and the current ads with chick in gold corsetry can make it directly to the "worst of photoshopping" gallery. This is seriously f***ed up branding...

Don't get me wrong. If you enjoy strong, heady, quality jasmine - and don't mind about the conceptual dissonance behind this straightforward scent, you probably get lots of wear out of Alien. But it is definitely not for me.

BTW oriental woody does not sound like right category to Alien. I would put it into oriental floral - or just straightforward floral. The backup of oriental notes is so light.

Edit... ...oh, crappers, how can I get rid of this jasmine...

Many reviews have been written about this perfume and I've enjoyed reading them. You can see it evokes diverse opinions, as for me aswell.

I started out being disturbed by this fragrance when I tested it first time and I can't say I liked it immediately. Anyway it was something about the smell that kept on disturbing me, in a good way, and I wanted to comprehend this perfume. For me it was is a challenging perfume that kept me coming back for many test rounds. And the more I got used to it the more I started to long for it anytime I didn't smell it. I guess I can say I do like it and it has become addictive smell for me.

Many things have been said about this fragrance so the review made short:
It has a lot of heavy jasmine and wood, on my skin the combination provokes a warm anise note combined with jasmine, wood and amber. In one word, it is a STRANGE perfume.

Houston, we have lift-off! I've just sprayed Alien onto my skin 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 through 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 with the sweet, sweet smell of jasmine and amber traveling behind in an inducive array. Still mortal, but never forgetting my ALIEN EXPERIENCE!

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

Feminine, Sweet, Sassy, Sexy, Sensual

Imtimate, Romantic and Ideal for the colder months.

The name suits it because there is absolutely nothing like it!

Its not pure harsh jasmine. Smells like water dripping from a jasmine flower. Then, freshly carved white wood comes in 10 min later. until the wood takes over completely. lasts well into 5 hours on me. But sits close to the skin.

hmm this is way better then those other too sweet frags like angel ect.. :-) whole improvement, im impressed!! never thought i'd be obsessed with alien, and now im hooked! perfect woody warm blend totally beats my hugo boss intense

well done thierry ^_^

It's been awhile since I have smelled such a strangely exotic and beautiful scent. Alien stands on it's own. This is unlike any other. From the initial spray, through the drydown, and all the way until you bathe it off, it makes such a statement! And it lasts that long too. This is the scent of blooming jasmine, grapes, and heady sparkling musk. It makes me think of a glamorous movie star or singer from the 1980's, someone who is decked out from head to toe in gold lame and sequins with smoky eyes and sculpted cheekbones. Not for everyone, but on that person it works, right? Definitely a fragrance of decadence and beauty, if you can pull it off.

I FEEL TOO MUCH JASMINE AND TABACCO ALSO...IT IS A STRONG FRAGRANCE...I PREFER ANGEL THOUGH...NOT BAD BUT NOT MY CUP OF TEA...

I love this perfume! It smells like grapes and sweet sugar. I does resemble Poison, but in a good way. This perfume has a wonderful smell after the dry down. I'm hooked.

I really dont like Alien. To much jasmine and powdery notes. To strong and soapy. So not for me.

I dont enjoy strong scents, or even better sead I dont know how to wear them. Their loud presence drives me crazy.

If I neglect my subjective standings I must say Alien is good for winter, perfect for people who usually love the shout of flowers, and soapiness that lingers on skin during entire day.
And from totally objective point I must say the bottle design resembles to an alien. It is ugly.

Alien reminds me of our garden when i was a kid, a garden full of jasmine! I used to remember te smell of our garden when the jasmines are in full bloom. My grandfather used the chicken wire as our garden's roofing so the jasmines vine can go up there. Imagine how lovely it is? and not to mention, jasmine is our national flower.
Anyway, alien smells familiar to me. I didn't expect it would remind me of my childhood memories. The jasmine is dominant. It's not strong at all. On my skin, it lingers very lightly. I didn't get the woodsy notes.
Thierry Mugler's Alien is a perfection. He makes jasmine even more special.

When I was given a sample of this, I thought it smelt very woody and cake batter? :S It was sweet. I guess the jasmin and woody notes hit me first before the rest. It's very lasting, bottle's one of a kind (and not to mention magnificent)It doesn't make me feel like a space alien, it makes me feel like baking :)

A strong, unusual perfume. Smells like icy red fruits. I sense lots of humidity in this one. Cold humidity that is. I think it could be wore in all seasons, almost all ages or time of the day. Only spray it with moderation having in mind the time and the place. It has an intense lasting power. 10/10/09

i made sure i went to every perfume shop i could find anytime i could just so i could use the tester.am not ashamed to say it!finally someone put me out of my misery and bought it. i love you koko!!!!!!!!!!

I love everything about this perfume from the fragrance and its name to the design and shape of the bottle. Alien creates an aura of mystery and if I close my eyes while wearing it, I can easily detach myself from reality and be transported to somewhere faraway.. :)

PS- Love Poppy Vanderbilt's description of jasmine and grapes on dry ice... cool!

mysterious indeed! weaves a soft and mystical aura around its wearer...
And the bottle looks like Darth Vader encapsulated in a cosmic amethyst crystal-

I have a small quantity of Alien, I'm afraid to have more. It wraps you, conquers your mind, you swim in its cloud. Flowers and dust, dust and flowers. The name is appropriate- an Alien!

Ok my best description is LOTS and LOTS of jasmine with some grapes on dry ice...does that make sense?...i thought i was going to like the "luminesent" version better but i ended up prefering this one better...this smelled like something i had smelled before..then it hit me..ahhh Poison..not exactly but there are aspects to this fragrance that smell similar to me...also maybe a little Pure Poison...anyways...I liked it very much... artistic...creative...a modern work of art...good one Thierry Mugler...because i sure didn't like Angel much.

I wanna love it , i do.. I find it exiting , intriguing ,but i just cant wear it.
Its too strong,too sweet ,to much of everything ,and actually very synthetic. The jasmine makes my gums itch,it can sure give you migraine - but a part of me thinks its great .
A bit like poison on speed .

This was definetly nice. And I know this might sound silly & cliche, but it just wasn't me.

Dry, woody jasmine in all its beauty. I know, some call this fragrance synthetic, well, maybe it is, but just in a perfect way (actually I believe this synthetic feeling is because of the dryness). Deep, but bright and transparent... as someone before said, very futuristic. Something above the stars. And what a beautiful name!.. not to mention the bottle... non-conformistic or banal. It's not cute and soft, rather 'hard' and illusory distant in a good way. It's like a journey to your innermost feelings and desires. I adore Alien.

I tested Alien the other day. On me it was light, sweet, and girly. Nothing alien or kinky about it. Mostly floral (jasmine, i guess), with a few other notes nicely balanced to give it some complexity (amber and Cashmere wood).

I am embarrassed to say that i liked it, and kept sniffing my arm. I may have to get a sample.

I have changed my mind about it,i hated it at first but recently i have started to kinda like it.Its deep and sexy and very special,you need to give it time.Thats what i have learned,the bottle is great too
