Alien Eau de Parfum is aged in oak casks with an exhilarating and carnal result. The sensual amber-colored fragrance radiates warmth and light from its clear faceted glass bottle, which echoes the effect of pure crystal.

Angel brings you Alien a fragrance which stands out from the crowd and isnt afraid to be different. The unique and distinctive woody amber solar floral fragrance consists of two powerful top notes.The woody note is distinctive mysterious and stimulates the imagination. Within this combination of luxurious, unusual notes is a floral lightness of Jasmine Sambac a gentle yet powerful flower with delicate petals that blooms under the Indian sun and gives off a bewitching scent with a hint of green notes and orange blossom.
Advantages: DIVINE SMELL Disadvantages: A tad pricey

This is my first ever perfume review, mostly because I'd been unsure about the idea as it doesn't seem possible to me to review perfume, its such a personal thing. However, one smell of this out of this world scent and I was hooked and I feel this is the right scent to share my experiences of!
Thierry Mugler are the fairly avant-garde company in the perume world, they don't knock out endless fruity florals (ie a license to print money) that are going to be an instant commerical success. What they do do is put time and effort into a few select products, working hard on the design and using the finest ingredients to produce something truly spectacular. They have created a buzz in the perume worls with many critics describing their work as a return to the good old days of perfume before celebrity collaborations and before sales overtook artistry in terms of importance.
Originally, Thierry Mugler were a cult brand, however their most famous perfume Angel changed all of that, bringing massive mainstream success with its heavenly yet unusual smell and gorgeous star shaped bottle. Alien, its follow up, had an awful lot to live up to, and I wouldn't have been surprised if Thierry Mugler had felt the pressure and sold out, yet here is their next knockout perfume, which I doubt will ever reach the massive heights of Angel, but which I prefer by far.
It all starts with the bottle, and its a goodun! The gorgeous purple bottle is shaped to look like an ancient gemstone, while the odd shapes and angles and the golden sprayer give it an alien 'out of this world' feel and bring to mind images of spaceships. The name 'alien' is blazened vertically down the bottle in mirror images, a nice finishing touch. It really is one of the most spectacular and original bottles I have ever seen, one that seems to have had real thought and artistry go into its design. This is one bottle that is displayed proudly in my room and I would feel oh so sophisticated to carry this round in my bag.
If we want to talk practically about the packaging, it comes in a 30ml and a 50ml refillable bottle, and you can also buy the refills separately. in terms of value for money, the 50ml is better in the long run as it is refillable, but for a one of fpurchase I picked up the 30ml, simply because I didnt have the money for the 50ml! One bottle has lasted me since february and is about one sixth empty (very precise I know) and I think this is really good seeing as I use this every day, it has become my signature scent. Gripwise, it gives a good hold for a nice spritz that sends ut plenty of the perfume in a nice fine cloud (perfect for those 'walk into the perfume cloud' moments!) and distributes the scent nice and evenly over the skin. The propeller is smooth and not stiff at all, overall its just faultless so far.
But of course the smell is what counts, not the propeller! So whats it like? In advertisments, it promises 'you will never be the same again' and while it may be a slight exaggeration, this is simply amazing. It won't be to everyone's tastes, as it isn't a simple inoffensive floral, it has deep notes and will get everyone asking 'what is that perfume?' this will definately get you noticed and stand out amongst boring perfumes.
The initial notes are fairly floral, which comes from the jasmine and violet ingredients. It does however fade from jasmine to a woody, oriental amber infusion that is deep and sexy, not a girly perfume but a WOMANLY perfume. If you could describe the 'mood' of this perfume it would be deeeep and thoughtful. Definately works as an evening scent although some may find it a little heavy for day.
The scent is definately strong, it takes one or two spritzes to give an obvious scent that lasts all day. To make it more subtle I suggest spraying it in a fine mist on your hair and brushing it through-people will get the hint of the scent but won't be overpowered by it.
Overall I cannot fault this perfume, I absolutely love it. I will continue to buy it for its impeccable design and smell, and the overall excellent ideas behind it. Well done Thierry Mugler!
Availability is a bit trickier than for Angel, which is sold EVERYWHERE. Try larger Boots stores and department stores, otherwise the internet or duty free which is where I bought my bottle from.
One downside is that this stuff is a LITTLE pricey, especially for teenagers with little disposable income. Prices range from about £30 for the smallest bottles to about £45 for the larger bottles.

Review of Thierry Mugler Alien Eau De Parfum Spray for Her
Advantages: Gorgeous smell, really unique, feminine, special, beautiful presentation Disadvantages: Some may find it a little pricey
...I had never heard of Thierry Mugler before, but she told me she'd been wearing the perfume for about a year, and I was so in love with the smell that I'd already decided I'd be buying it for her whenever she ran out of the stuff! == THE SMELL ==
Obviously the most important part about any perfume out there is the smell. Nobody likes those cheap perfumes that all smell the same - that horrible sweet yet fusty stench that appears to be popular in ... ...it's going to be different. Thierry Mugler hasn't bothered to choose a particularly feminine, lovely name for this perfume, otherwise he would have chosen something like 'Lovely'(Sarah Jessica Parker's), which shows its originality. It has a smell of cashmeran, a type of wood, with a mix of jasmine and a distinct floral tone. It is absolutely gorgeous! == The Name == I think the name "Alien" has to be mentioned because it's different to any other ...

Advantages: an Attractive and addictive smell Disadvantages: none
This is a very unusual fragrance, it stands out and it makes you feel really sexy!!! It will make your head in when you try it:
As soon as you touch the bottle it sends you to space as you start feeling the smell already. this spray bottle has a beautiful purple colour, very easy to press the spraying button (which is gold colour), and this is a bottle you can keep forever (you can get either non refillable or refillable) this bottle will look good ... ...piece of art and must be looked at!!! Easy to hold and use.
The card package is simple, but still attractive in the colours of white, purple and gold, and easy to find in the parfum shop with its clear writing. The bottle is well protected inside of it. THE PARFUM: starts with a feeling of warmth almost of a stinging addictive fragrance. Then you strongly feel the Sambac jasmine from india and the woody Cashmeran notes... very dense and heavy at ...

Advantages: Absolutely stunning scent which lasts and lasts Disadvantages: none
Thierry Mugler Alien, if you have not tried Thierry Mugler you should have. This perfume is amazing, when you wear it everyone comments on the scent and it lasts and lasts and lasts. It may seem a bit expensive to buy but you only need a small amount of this at a time as it is strong. I would say this particular perfume is more for night time, or lunching etc. I would tend to stick with Thierry Mugle Angel for during the day. Be ready for attention ... ...scent to it. Once someone smells it and know what it is they will not forget the scent even if they pass someone in the street who is wearing it. You get different sizes of this so you do not have to buy the larger size to start with you can try the small bottle which is not expensive but can guarantee you will want the big bottle on your next purchase.
A totally beautiful amazing perfume ...

Advantages: Beautiful bottle, beautiful smell Disadvantages: VERY pricey!
I was actually looking for a gift for someone else when the bottle of this caught my eye. I couldn't help wondering what something in a bottle *that* pretty would smell like!
I'm usually not a big fan of "designer" perfumes, but this totally changed my mind! I really dislike samey, girly, flowery fragrances that seem to be everywhere - I prefer really unique scents that arn't too feminine (or too masculine) and that last, but arn't overbearing - ... ...It really does smell like something that could have come from another world! It's quite an exotic smell - almost like really high-quality incense, but with a very clean, sharp edge. There wasn't any one thing I could think of that smells like it - a few other people have suggested Jasmine, amber and violets - but I can't say I noticed any of those (not saying they're wrong - just that *I* didn't notice them! I'm not really a huge perfume fan normally, ...

...Parfum Spray description says...
Thierry Mugler, the maker of beauty classic Angel, brings you Alien, a fragrance which stands out from the crowd and isn't afraid to be different. It reflects the creator's relentless search to find something new. The feminine fragrance smells unrecognisable, yet at the same time comfortingly familiar. **Packaging**
The bottle is faceted like a jewel and its amethyst colour symbolises thoughtfulness and peace of ... ...reverse to form a sign as it would in a mirror. Also you can refill the bottle at any time- a free refill comes with it. **How Much Can you Get It For?**
I got mine over the Internet, you can get it from around £34. I find you can get it cheaper on the internet.
**Experience!**
As soon as I put the perfume on it was such a sweet and feminine smell! The smell is to die for!! Since putting this perfume on I’ve had ALOT of comments saying ‘I love ...
