Alien

Alien by Thierry Mugler EDP – Will's Review

Alien by Thierry Mugler is bold, otherworldly, and impossible to ignore. It doesn’t try to be pretty — it aims to be powerful. With its unique jasmine-amber combo, Alien doesn’t follow trends. It creates them. This is a scent that radiates confidence, mystery, and sensuality — like stepping into a room and knowing everyone feels your presence before you say a word.

The opening Right off the top, you get a sharp, radiant burst of jasmine sambac — not a shy floral, but one that’s lush, slightly indolic, and drenched in solar warmth. It’s bright but heady, almost like jasmine caught in amber light. This intro is bold and full-bodied — you’ll either love it or it’ll wear you.

The dry-down As the jasmine softens, the woody, resinous base begins to take over. You’re met with amber and cashmeran, creating a warm, golden glow that settles into the skin like silk. It has a mineral warmth to it — clean, yet sensual. This combination of white florals and radiant woods makes Alien feel spiritual, regal, and unforgettable. There's an almost glowing quality to how the scent evolves — never too sweet, never too fresh, but always commanding.

Performance-wise This is beast mode territory. Alien can easily push 10+ hours with strong projection and an unmistakable trail. It’s the kind of scent that gets asked about — and remembered. One or two sprays is all you need to carry it with you all day and into the night.

The bottle A purple amethyst-inspired gem, shaped like it fell from the sky. Gold prongs clutch it like a treasure. It looks like something out of a sci-fi fantasy, and honestly? That fits. Alien has never been about blending in — the bottle and the scent both make sure of that.

Overall, Alien is unapologetically bold, intoxicating, and a little spiritual. It’s a scent of energy and aura — perfect for someone who thrives in their own orbit. Not delicate, not overly sweet, but entirely magnetic. Once you wear it, you understand why it has such a cult following.
