Ambery Cedarwood

I am a perfume "beginner" and have never smelled Alien before, so I'm not sure how this compares to the original, but I adore Dossier Ambery Cedarwood. It is a strong fragrance and long-lasting on my skin and on fabric. The beginning of the fragrance is a huge jasmine bomb, like walking through a forest of jasmine in bloom. & the dry-down is a nice woody scent but not in a bad way (like some perfumes can smell like hamster cages). This is a really nice flowery wooden vanilla smell, like a walk in the woods and a nice fire burning in a cabin with a candle going. But it also has a very artificial scent underneath that is a little minty, which is actually quite pleasant and calming. It's hard to describe and the fragrance does seem to change throughout the day. It's extremely enjoyable to me wearing this one. Can't wait to try the original Alien and see how it compares!

Smelled on paper and almost returned it. Kept going back and kept sniffing the paper and cap, kept hating it. Figured I should spray it on “just to see” and it was a complete 180! It was light, airy flowers. I’m laying here wearing it thinking “I am getting a tea note..”. The cardamom is very well done. Like an iced tea in the garden under a blooming tree. Drydown is powdery Jasmine. It’s a bit chlorine-y but very subtle. I just wish it lasted longer! Going to try the OG to compare and hope it is as airy. But this is a surprising love!

I first went to smell Alien, and I was pleasantly surprised, it was love at first sniff (hehehe). Unfortunately, I didn't fall in love with the price, so I went online looking for an inspiration. Boy, was I inspired. I absolutely LOVE this fragrance. To my nose, it smells incredibly close to Alien, and the performance is amazing. It lasts all day on my skin and makes me feel put together no matter the occasion. It's warm, slightly woody, ambery, and floral in the most beautiful way.

Clean, fresh, and soft, feels like a really nice hug. First perfume from the dossier brand and it honestly smells really unique but also similar? Reminds me of J’adore L’or but the 2017 version and they toned down the soapiness by a tone! The amber is well rounded but really loud combined with the cardamom and orange blossom. Super white floral heavy but the dry down becomes creamy with that signature heliotrope note. Lasts pretty long even to the next day on me so 9/10!

One of my favorites, and very similar to Alien in my opinion. This was my daily scent for about a year, it's sweet and warm with heavy jasmine and amber notes. Very easy wear if you like warm florals, and really great quality for the price. Lasting power is 5-6 hours, projection is less than arm's length
