Alien Eau Luminescente Thierry Mugler for women

Well, this one was my choice for the summer of 2008. Having the ALIEN EDP during the cold months of winter and adoring it, I thought that this summery version would be a nice alternative.
Of course, it is lighter than the initial but it is still heavy, too intense for the summertime. It also includes something too strong, in a big concetration that gives me a headache(maybe orange or citrus, I cannot define this). As much as I wanted to like it, I just couln't bear this overpowering smell that was proved to be completely inappropriate for the hot summer we have here in Greece. That's why(and regardless of the beautiful bottle which is impressive and a piece of art), I gave it to my older sister who found it amazing.

I´m desperelly looking for this one.. If anyone has it, and want to sell me please P.M I can be very generous.. Thanks

Well, i would like to have this on tap please!!!!

Remember getting lots of compliments on this one! I was told they knew who entered the room without even looking! It used to be my signature scent couple of years ago, had few bottles which are now history...

And as always, best fragrances come in limited editions or are discontinued, and im veeeeery frustrated about this!:((

Mr Mugler, if u read this - please, please bring it back!! Thanks in advance:)

absolutely warm summer scent . its not heavy like the original alien its fresh and younger . which reminds me of the smell of warm tanned skin in the summer its sunny and fresh and not to haevy and warm like the original one .im in love with this one but its not much long lasting .. :(

I can smell a lot of orange in this one... It is a bit overwhelming, but I like it still...

I Love all Aliens, this one is magical! Too bad its only a summer realease I would buy this over and over again.

My favorite Alien tested till now. Luminiscente is vivid and sparkling scent. Quite similar to Alien EDT, except here the dominancy is taken by mandarin orange. They also share common feeling of creaminess and comfort. Though not listed here, I believe that they both have vanilla note in drydown, making them less fresh and more sensual scents.

Luminiscente has good silage and lasts for several hours. Think it may appeal to followers of The One, and Rose the One by D&G. It is easily wearable and uplifting scent. Enjoy.

I'm smelling it now after about five hours of having it on. It's imilar to the original Alien, but maybe not quite as heavy. I was searching for something for hot summer days, and I don't think this is it. It's too intense. That being said, it's definitely not bad... I actually like it. I'm not much of a floral lover, but this one is spicy and radiant, with a topnote of grapefruit (love grapefruit). It's mysterious and earthy. But when would I wear it? Perhaps in the fall...

Intensely warm rays of sunlight engulfs you entirely as dews of citrine and woody based notes politely evaporate into a smooth, warm silky sarong. A warm breeze blows against your awaking mind. Can you feel it?

The notes that I picked up on my wrist are refreshing, sweet mandarin, a light hint of wood and laced jasmin.

A beautiful perfume to add luminescence to your day.

Ahhh..Wonderful bottleee!!!!eeeee...I love it. It's amazing. I accidently sprayed a bottle of this and it was a bit too much :O (it was my friend's and she said I could test it out)and I was immediately obsessed about it. I didn't know it would be that delicious! Mandarin orange is so yummy!

Pure jasmine in a bottle. The top notes might be a little sharp. But the perfume settles more subtly. Nice option for jasmine lovers. Didn't last long on my skin, though.

why they've made this re-edition?!it smells exactly like the original alien,maybe just a little bit milder and with a drop of orange note.
whether you're a fan of alien or not,this won't be a great treasure.
if you like original Alien,it has no innovation.so you can still use your original one,without taking a look to this one.
if you don't like the original one,probably this is not good for your nose neither.it still has the overwhelming smelling that can make you nervous after 5 minutes of smelling this strong sweet perfume.

I cannot echo these rave reviews because it just doesn't suit my skin.

It is similar to the original (all about the sweet jasmine) but where there was depthy woods there now is lightness & tiare with a slight watery-fruity-tangerine. All this would be just fine if there wasn't an overly bitter tang & a strange cooking-oil/car parts whiff to it! It must be my skin :(

The same bitter note is overdeveloped on me if I use Addict, but to a lesser extent. I love slip-streaming Addict wearers in the street, so I can imagine this works well on others. Not one I will be using again - but what an amazing bottle!

A couple of days ago I received my much anticipated " Alien Eau Luminescente" :-)

After opening the box I was finally able to hold this intense orange bottle in my hands – what a joy! - It is like holding a peace of heaven in my hands! The bottle is just breathtakingly beautiful! It appears like there is an inner light shining trough….truly mystical! No wonder the fragrance is called "Eau Luminescente"!

After admiring the bottle for a while, I finally sprayed some small amount of this heavenly jus on my wrists. Immediately I was taken by its fruity & flowery playfulness! The Tiare flower and Mandarin dancing a seducing dance togheter….which later on will be joined by a soft, warm vanilla and the solar amber.
The typical "Alien Jasmine" is there too, but much softer and smoother than in the original "Alien". All is just relaxed, joyful and happy! The colour orange just fits perfectly into this scenario – it is sunshine in a bottle!

Right now it is raining outside and the temperature has dropped from yesterday's 29c to today's 17c….nothing unusual for my country and for this time of year. But wearing this fragrance makes me feel all warm and happy – vacation is just around the corner and all is fine and alright.

"Alien Eau Luminescente" is a real mood lifter and truly divine fragrance! This will be for sure my most favourite fragrance all summer long and I will definitely wearing and enjoying "Alien Eau Luminescente" for autumn and, if there will be any left, for winter as well. I can highly recommend this gem!

This is a desert alien...there's no spacecraft. It fell to earth and wandered under the sun, till its skin glowed golden with sand and heat and shimmering air. The scent changed when the alien followed a breeze from the south where flowers grow. It hasn't reached that place yet, but when it does, the echo of mandarins and amber and island petals may well persuade humans to love it. Without a word, the alien is gently persuasive.

Does it persude me? I don't know. So simple, perhaps it is too simple for my skin. I will definitely try it again.

i received my blind purchase today and must say it was a good one. it smells alot like the original alien to me, but a bit younger. Fresh is the wrong word for this perfume, because although it's a summer edition it is sweet and has this warmth of alien, a sunlight like warmth, which reminds me of the smell of warm tanned skin in the summer. the citrus notes (orange and mandarin) aren't fresh at all, they make it just a little bit more flirty. on the whole it's a warm summer scent, it smells expensive, it works for all ages (i'm 22, but i think on my mum who is over 50 it'll work the same) and it reminds me abit of those hawaiian tropic tanning oils (in a very good way). It was a great buy, because i found the original to mature for me... the bottle is beautiful, too. it looks like a neo art deco design with it's articulated edges and surfaces, this crystalline character must be the signature design of Mugler.

i got sunessence in my store today and i have to say...although you can tell it is an alien, i find it very different from what i expected. i have to say i love it all the same!!

Can anybody tell me does this smell simular to the brand new ALIEN SUNESSENCE? I know it is available in France.

I just got my beautiful bottle today and I got a totally different impression than what I have read. I got next to no citus or fruit. Definantly it is similar to Alien. It is lighter and the Tiare flower is what comes out the most on me, which I LOVE! Its almost tropical. Dries down creamy vanilla with a tiny bit of musk. YUMM!

This is Alien fresher with loads of oranges. I would have bought it if I didn't hate the fruit. Plus, I prefer the original Alien bottle.

I loved this one too. I don't have the orig. Alien. The bottle on the cosmetic counter called to me. I tried it and it was a total impulse buy....but a good one.

Thierry's second version of the Alien series is a "scentual" success. It's a bit of heaven on earth. If this were to truly be an alien scent, I can only imagine the wonderful scents on the planet from which it originates. Unlike it predecessor, Alien Eau Luminescente
promises an enlightening insight of the unknown atmosphere in a down to earth matter. The lightness from the floral aroma is there to savor and the golden veil of the mundane amber is worth it's weight in topaz as depicted in the beautiful bottle. A universal luxury fragrance that will brighten your world!

This variation of Alien perfume is more luxurious and balanced better than the first edition on my skin. Freshness reflects the high class and Tiare flower conception mixed with citrus chords gives the ultimate elegance. I've tried the first Alien edition several times, and I prefer the orange successor as a softer and more suitable mixture for me.

Beautiful, bright, so optimistic, sunny and joyful!!!! One of my favorite editions in this year.

I really like Mugler's game with shapes, colors, shades and glass, so I could call this edition the Sun among his "stars" :)

Great perfume. Not too heavy or light, really balanced and fun. Why are they never on sale around here?

Very good. Very good. It's similar to the Alien, but a bit more fruity with the mandarin notes as it was mentioned already. Fresh, but still lustful for me. Interesting and exciting perfume :) I like this one, but maybe I like the original Alien even better.

For me, Angel is too strong and Alien is too sweet. But Alien Eau Luminescente smell so fresh and mild sweet. That's what I's lookin for. I just bought it yesterday. Wow!

This is really nice and not too strong compare to the first Alien. U can smell the mandarian notes.It fresh and unique.

My friend used to wear Alien and everytime I smell it it just reminds me of her, it's extremely sexy. This is aslightly lighter fruitier version when it's first sprayed it smells like the original alien as does amen pure coffee with the original amen. But once it dries in it has a more sweeter tang.

It's not as bad as Angel and Alien, but still very intense.

its smells very similar to the first alien. a bit more floral, but as i liked the first one i like this one too.

i can hardly wait for it to arrive to my country. alien is one of the best perfumes ive ever smelled, i hope it will be at least as good as alien was

My mum gave me two free samples of Alien Eau Luminescente and I love it. My hubby commented on it (unusual for him) and today in a store in Glasgow
a lovely gentleman asked what perfume I was wearing!!!! My nine year old daughter (never holds back on giving her opinion on ANYTHING) said "thats the nicest perfume youv'e ever worn mum"
