Alien Eau de Toilette by Thierry Mugler

Undoubtedly Thierry Mugler has accomplished great success in perfume industry. Love it or hate it discussions dwelled around Angel and Alien are endless.
I personally dislike them both. Big time.

Out of space EDT invader in light purple suit is definitely more wearable than original. For that are deserved beautiful opening mandarin notes which differ it from original heavy construction. And though EDT dives in middle and base notes similar to EDP, manages to keep airy floral breath and gentle musky base.

Strength and longevity of this woody floral EDT edition are remarkable. Think it would be nice spring/ autumn choice for those who like Euphoria, Code or Insolence. Not bad.

This fragrance is obviously a lighter and fresher version of Alien. It is far more wearable in the warmer months than the original and it has a little more sweetness in my opinion.

The jasmine in Alien EDT is almost watery, whereas the EDP was much richer and more floral. I can't detect the citrus opening as well here, however the mandarin orange, which is the only fruit I can smell in Alien EDT, tends to be subtle and sweet.

For some people they'll find this version of Alien much more wearable. In all honesty I agree, however I ultimately prefer the original because it seems to have more character and uniqueness.

The amber in the drydown is very soft. The overall impression I found was that Alien EDT was intended to be more feminine and inoffensive, in other words, more appealing to those that disliked the original Alien.

The lasting strength is moderate, lasting around four to five hours on the skin. I do recommend this fragrance, however if you own and love the original Alien, I don't see the point in purchasing the EDT too.

It smells exactly the same just a little bit lighter but it still stays on for a very long time, I barely sprayed it on top of my hand and I washed my hands later on when I got home and I can still smell it.

This isn't Alien, but a joke... It's just too light! I know, I know - EDT and stuff, but come on, I sprayed it on one hand and EDP on the other and after 30min this one was barely recognizable as ALIEN, and I almost couldn't smell the jasmin anymore. Also way too citrusy. I don't like it. I'd rather wear EDP (applied very carefully) than go for this daytime "substitute".

Thanks to dear c3c, I have a chance to compare side by side EDP and EDT versions of Alien.

It starts with an interesting and pleasing combination of jasmine and orange. An unlikely combination, perhaps, but a very nice one. Later it becomes jasmine, somewhat sweet, a tad ambery, and it stays that way for at least 4 hours -- a nice staying power for EDT given that I dabbed pretty lightly!

Alien EDT is Alien's EDP little sister, just as it should be. EDT is perfect for daytime wear since it's lighter than EDP and is not as sweet. I like them both. I can see that someone would find EDT more wearable than EDP. I love EDP, but I like EDT as well. It is the same quality sweet ambery jasmine.

It smells like mothballs on my skin. It just doesn't work for me, it's very overpowering, and it's all I can think of as soon as I apply:(. Beautiful bottle though!

Similar to the original one. The edp is a masterpiece, but I prefer this one... it is more wearable.

I must admit that I am not one of the fans of Thierry Mugler, but I fell in love. Almost every TM was a shade stronger olfactive experience for me, but this is really good! Fragrant notes are quite different from EdP, but the strength is almost the same as the EdP. The percentage of perfume extract is slightly decreased compared to the EdP.
Tender and seductive at the same time, warm and rich, lasts for hours and retains all the sweetness. Opening with fresh citrus and mandarin orange make this fragrance quite different from the EdP. Amber gives an irresistible warm tone that is felt around you as the finest velvet, probably cashmeran adds some too.
The fragrance is as passionate as EdP and especially desirable in combination with cream or lotion for the body. Somewhat reminded me of Lou Lou by Cacharel, which I have long loved, but was always a shade too strong for me, Alien EdT has everything I asked of Lou Lou. Beautiful and not even a little weak, this is lovely modern winter fragrance. Deserves to be as famous as his older brother Alien EdP. Those who worship EdP will continue to be in love with it and maybe less like EdT. I prefer Alien EdT.
This is not a light version of the EdP, but completely different. Although at the first moment it seems that these two smell very similar, EdT has a soft touch, while EdP openly shows its power. To me this is a perfect performance in a woody oriental scent.

I'm going to be short: The original one is better. It's like Alien's shadow. Alien's character resides in her powerful jasmine sweetness, and in her incomparable woody drydown. I know that it's an Eau the Toilette version and it's supposed to be lighter and more wearable, so Alien's strongness was reduced. But after smelling Alien, this perfume isn't very interesting for me (I'm a bit partial too, because the original one is one of my favourites). Maybe if I smelled this one first...

Finally found it today at debenhams! only £27 for 30ml.

Onto the fragrance. My friend always used to wear the eau de parfum Alien and she would wear so much of if it was overpowering, plus the opening note always reminded me of petrol or rubber or something like that, but once it dried down it was a very unique, sensual, woody kind of fragrance on her.

Now this is a whole other ballgame, whoever said this is identical to the eau de parfum has to be out of their minds! It opens with the same notes of the original, but it doesnt have that cloying overpowering note at the beginning, still has all the other amazing notes, but it has been replaced with a juicer fruitier note and the drydown is definately alot creamier and floral rather than the heady jasmine note of the original. Od recommend this to people who love the Alien fragrance but find it too overpowering. Let's just say this is Alien Light because its just perfect, it's what Pure Malt & Pure Coffee done for A*Men.

It is almost identical with the original one. Only weaker and less intensive, less oriental and less woody in the drydown .Good for those, who find the original too strong, for the ones who are already in love with the original-waste of money.

Boettie

Onlangs verliefd geworden op Alien. Inmiddels de Alien EDP en Sunessence in mijn bezit. Na een proefje Alien EDT word ik morgen de trotse bezitter van deze laatste versie.

Bij mijn weten bevat een EDP procentueel meer geurstoffen dan een EDT maar zijn de geurstoffen wel hetzelfde. Wellicht wil TM zich hierin ook onderscheiden aangezien Alien EDT geen lichtere versie is van Alien EDP maar een iets andere geur. Ik vind ze allemaal even HEERLIJK !
