Different

I blind bought this untested as I am a fan of Thierry Mugler's Angel, and had high hopes for anything from Thierry Mugler. I can't say I am huge fan of this though.

The most dominant note in Alien is an overpowering jasmine. It's difficult to tell what natural jasmine smells like, having never smelt the actual flower, though there is something very synthetic about this scent. It almost smells like a cheap scent you would purchase for $20 at a pharmacy.

Alien is a very strong perfume, so you have to use it sparingly to avoid giving yourself a headache.

The bottle itself is very original and looks like a work of art. That alone is the only reason I have held on to my bottle of this and not given it away.

Tips: The positives of this are: -It's has good lasting power -It's different to a lot of other scents on the market. - If you are a fan of Elizabeth Arden's Red Door Aura, you might like this as they are very similar - The price is too high for it to be a blind buy, so I would suggest trying a sample first

@chatondemode I realise they are from diff ranges. I meant, that normally I'm willing to blind buy a perfume if I like something else from tht house.e.g.I might assume Womanity is worth a try, since I like Angel

I think this is where a lot of people go wrong. Angel and Alien are opposites. I think people are under the assumption that Alien is from the Angel range of fragrances by Mugler. I personally cant stand Angel, but like Alien.

That's interesting, I love Angel and can't imagine anything being nicer than it. Especially not after reading the first review.

Synthetic jasmine metallic mess

Metallic synthetic jasmine bathroom spray is all I get from this. Just horrendous it's honestly like one of those jasmine scented loo blocks. I constantly smell it on others too.

Peee-uuuuu

Not the best Angel perfume that Mugler has produced, was really disappointed with it. The smell kinda went a bit off after awhile, the original Angel is still the best.

Alien is not from the Angel range.

Alien is not an Angel perfume... The two scents are very different. They appear on the market as opposites. So if Angel is for you, Alien will not be.

It's in the name

I will give credence to the negative reviews that Alien has received. Alien is certainly a different scent, it is not for everybody, but if it's for you then you have an obsession for life!

So what's in a name? Perfumes are famously named some romantic/sexual/ooey-gooey mash up to make the buyer relate. "Eternity" or "Euphoria" engage our imaginations to have that beautiful glass bottle bring us our every "Desire." What I love about Thierry Mugler is his dedication to denotative perfume names... "A*men", "Womanity", and Alien is no different in that sense; but different in every other!

This perfume does have strong Jasmine notes, but for me its the woody notes that really come out. It is the longest lasting perfume I have, and I constantly have customers comment on it in the afternoon (8 hours after I put it on!)

So, if you are a different kind of girl (or boy), and do not want to smell like "a fragrance" then I suggest to give it a try (and really do try it first).

Tips: Seriously... try it in store, walk around a while and decide whether it is for you.

Unique, another not for the timid!

I have a feeling people seem to think that Alien is from the same range as Angel and that's where they go so wrong.. Their expectations are automatically disappointed and they disregard this fragrance without a fair chance.. The only thing in common is the Fragrance House.. Thierry Mugler! To be honest, I know its not going to be for everyone but if you like very rich, unique scents then you should have an open mind about this one. This fragrance is very unique, there isn't another like it out there and the stayability is amazing.. And despite the fact its strong its actually incredibly easy to wear. I personally am a huge fan of unique fragrances as I cannot stand fad fragrances. If you were to compare Alien to Angel.. Alien is for the individual that doesn't like to blend in with the crowd.. Angel is a very 'safe' fragrance.

Tips: Beautiful for evening wear, and if you don't have super sensitive skin the shower gel makes the bathroom smell amazing.. Unfortunately I do have sensitive skin these days so that is out of the question for me. Don't disregard this fragrance, give it a chance.. Just don't compare it to Angel as it is NOT an Angel fragrance.

Yes, happy to see another fan! I totally agree. I can't stand Angel either and Alien is not going to be liked by everybody, but those that do absolutely love it! I will have to consider the shower gel! Shower gels are my favourite splurge item!

Alien

I absolutely love this fragrance!! I have had so many people comment on how good I smell and asking me what it is. Also love the fact you can get the refillable bottle, which makes it a lot cheaper when you run out and need more! I will definitely keep using this perfume for a long time!

A pleasant Fragrance

After Angel, this is pretty interesting... has a sweet but mysterious kind of smell.. i liked it alot... Although i think they should have stuck with the original Angel.. the baby blue and the star bottle were alot more appealing... but saying that, i think alot of people would like this. if you prefer a very feminine smell with a bit of a woody undertone... i would say you have a winner in this one... Not bad at all but not a smell i would want people to remember me by...

Tips: Always trial a perfume on you for a day before buying... you will only know what it will smell like on you at the end of the day...perfume settles and mixes with your own bodies chemicals which is why the same perfume can smell different on everyone..

A winter fragrance

I have this fragrance but can only wear it in the winter as its heavy and sweet. To over powering in the warmer weather, but totaly delicious in the cooler months. It lasts all day and the body cream is divine!

Tips: Buy the set and layer your fragrance

Simply lovely.

This scent is quite simply lovely. It is light and delicate. It lasts but is not overpowering. I would recommend this to anyone who likes woody fragrances, but be prepared for the unexpected! An excellent choice for summer.

Tips: Buy the bottle that can be refilled. Environmentally friendly and more cost effective.

Gorgeous scent and staying power!

I absolutely love this fragrance as an evening scent! It is so yummy and people always wonder what I am wearing when I have it on, I love the bottle and how it is made from a semi precious stone, also that it is refillable! This perfume lasts all day and even when you wash you clothes you can still smell it. Love it!

Tips: Winter/night time scent.
