Mazyon

I'm not sure if the name of the company fooled me but I feel that it has something like oud playing in it somewhere and I like it. Very blended oud of course, just like in Oud de Carthage. In general, it is sweet and beautiful, not particularly floral (at least to my nose) and not particularly tonka or vanille either. I smell no jasmine but I have noticed over time that jasmine is mentioned in several sweet scents where I don't smell it but I smell it clearly in some others. I bought Mazyon for less than half price and as used, without having tested it beforehand, I just looked at the list of notes, the scent profile and imagined that I will like it -- and I do. The only thing I missed with my prediction, or that I couldn't imagine based on this information, was that it's a sweet scent. I can't give it five stars but I certainly like it. I put it in my list of scents into the feminine section: it's not unisex as advertised, not for men really, but since I don't care about gender segregation in scents, I just enjoy it and enjoy it as a feminine scent on me, beautiful and delicate, modest and non-intrusive. Nice creation! Edit: updated rating to 5/5 after having used it again. It is such a classy and classical feminine scent: sweet but just right amount, exuding style and beauty of certain women in 30s to 40s. I even found a little similarity with much stronger and sweeter, one my all time favourites, Bvlgari Omnia Crystalline.

I can say that this is the most popular parfume in my collection. It is very strong (in the Park from 10 meters can feel). I bought it in 2 weeks before and I got several compliments- mostly 25-35 yers girls likes it very much (my dear Girlfriends-They are all strong, self-confident Woman- Mothers). They immediately wanted decants so I have to buy another Bottle soon. 😁. The scent is strong ambergis-jasmin with eucalyptus (this note was a little disturbing and very present first time but now I like it). Some say it’ s like Alien. A little yes but Mazyon is more complex and stronger and not too dark scent. It is good for fall, winter, spring. In hot day can be too heavy. Feminin in the strongest way and of course extremely sexy One! I recommend every Woman! LOVE!!!❤️

I'm surprised there are no fruit notes listed, as I find the opening to be somewhat fresh and fruity. I suppose it is the influence of the eucalyptus, but my nose doesn't personally classify it as eucalyptus. It's almost like Sprite - but in a good way! Slightly dry, not overly sweet or syrupy. That is a very brief element, though, before it develops into the rich jasmine with underlying soft cashmeran which skews towards woodiness. To me this is super similar to Glamour by M. Micaleff, maybe a little less fruity; and although subtle, the ambergris element lends sophistication and sensuality, elevates the fragrance and prevents it from being overly dense and heavy. That aspect increases the versatility, and I think this could be worn day or night.

A beautiful, hidden gem. If Mugler ever releases another “exclusive” label, I would imagine that iteration of Alien would smell like this. Vintage Alien cashmere & Jasmine combo with a hint of ozonic eucalyptus and ambergris. Don’t let the last notes fool you. This isn’t a fresh scent. This is a rich solar jasmine scent that somehow smells niche and more polished than Alien, even with the very obvious similarities. Lasts days on fabric, 8 hours on skin. Projection is high without being obnoxious. Very blind buy safe if you enjoy full-bodied jasmine scents. I’m in love with this one.

The Jasmine and musk in here is soo loud and smooth. The amber comes out in the dry down and it lasts apt 6 hours on skin and more than a day on clothes. This is something Monica belluci would absolutely wear. It's unisex but fem leaning and kinda sexy I think lol but at the same it can definitely be an office scent.

This is just stellar. Reminds me of the good ole’ Alien a whole lot :’) This is a mature, masterful blend, the sweetness of jasmine, the gentle herbal touch of eucalyptus and some slightly skanky musk. I’ve been looking for something like this for a loooooong time.

Almost identical to Thierry Mugler's original Alien but Mazyon is more refined and sexy. Perfect for a date night. Without a doubt you will drive your man crazy 😉 It also reminds me of Rouge Malachite by Armani

Very sexy and feminine perfume, not in a dark way but elegant and promising. I love it from the first smell. Value for money, very good°

I love this one. I would say because of how dense it is, the scent bubble it creates doesn't get too far. Like if someone is sitting next to you on a table or they hug you or stand right next to you they can smell it but it isn't beast mode - but to me that suits the elegance of the scent. It is for an elegant event where you don't want to overwhelm anyone but you want to smell different, attractive, unique. Maybe a professional dinner? Great great fragrance. 8.5/10 (only because I wish it left a stronger trail)

Very, very similar to the older Alien formula - it has the strength and the same slightly dirty jasmine note to it.

Alien pre-reformulation, maybe a bit dirtier.

At first nothing like alien. Thennnnnn VERY VINTAGE ALIEN. This feels like an extrait. I want to track down a vintage alien extrait for comparison. Micallef Glamour has that grapey menthol with some fruits keeping it from going dark and the Mazyon has an oud in there covering that up. This one is darker and more shadowy than alien. Here’s the thing though. Vintage first generation alien wasn’t my favorite. The first one launched under clarins is the best. It has more jasmine and vanilla than any other version.

So my quest to find the best alternative to Alien continues. Since both Alien Essence Absolu and Mazyon didn’t quite hit the spot for me, I think I can say that what sells Alien for me is the loud, indolic jasmine. Mazyon is a great fragrance on its own right, but much more smooth and musky. Classier than Alien for sure, but I love Alien for its controversial nature. So the search continues. I did love layering this with Alien, and if nothing better comes up I will be buying this as a complement to Alien.

The jasmine is very alien-like but this is not at all an alien dupe in my opinion, it has notable differences. The eucalyptus is prominent, giving it an extra cooling and mentholic effect. It has a musky sweetness in the dry down. Very classy but a little hard to wear. Dark and earthy but also clean at the same time. I haven't made my mind up on this one yet, I will keep testing it.

A more potent version of Alien in its original formula. If you love Alien and the newer formula doesn't quite hit that sweet spot like the original, then look no further. Performance outstanding.
