About This Perfume
Alien by Mugler is a Oriental Woody fragrance for women. Alien was launched in 2005. Alien was created by Dominique Ropion and Laurent Bruyere. Top note is Jasmine Sambac; middle note is Cashmeran; base note is Amber. Alien spreads an aura, and it claims the right to do that by its very name. Thirteen years after the huge success of Angel, Thierry Mugler challenges the world of perfumery once again. Alien is a magic elixir captured in a bottle of deep and mysterious purple with the shape of a talisman, reminiscent of a philosopher's stone or some warlock object. The creators of Alien based the composition on three main lines: warm, white amber in the base, woodsy notes in the heart, and sunny Indian jasmine in the top.

The verdict
Best for
Mugler is the house that invented the modern gourmand family. Thierry Mugler's Angel (1992), the praliné-patchouli-red-berries blueprint, is the origin point every vanilla-caramel-cotton-candy fragrance from the last 30 years descends from. The 24 live pieces on Scendira reflect that DNA: Gourmand dominates (11 of 24), followed by Fresh (6), Floral (2) and a lean masculine (3) count against a feminine core (12). Prices run $14.11-$150 (average $71). Standout live pieces: Angel Hair Mist ($42,.41, soft berries and honey over vanilla caramel), Mugler Cologne ($70,.27, sunlit bergamot-neroli with soft musky air), A*Men Fantasm ($115,.21, dark chocolate with peppery citrus creaminess), Angel Eau de Toilette 2019 ($14.11,.18, sweet apple and praliné cream on woods) and Mugler Cologne Come Together ($82.51,.13). Mugler is the answer to "what should I try if I want to understand where gourmand fragrance comes from", and the Angel flanker family gives shoppers a graduated ladder.
