Stars

I wont buy alien as I buy so many inexpensive perfumes often. This is a great dupe and is much better than any other dupe of alien I have encountered. Love it

Fully agree with Wheaters below... this fragrance was the last push needed to convert me into an Alien lover and I evetually bought both Alien EDP and Alien Essence Absolue. I find that Stars is a great alternative for summer, and suspect it may be closer to the Alien EDT (which I havent tried so far). If you are looking for a dupe of the EDP I would suggest you also look at Perfume Parlour's Alienz Women. I have the oil based one and it is closer to the EDP than Stars. It does however have a slight dirty undertone (which I love). The reason I still have Stars in my wardrobe is, as I mentioned, because it is lighter than the EDP but still has great sillage and ok longevity on me. It also layers well, if you have an Al Rehab Jasmin oil or similar you should try to combine that with Stars. It does a great job when you sort of know you are going to shower or change clothes quite often and don't want to waste your precious Alien :-)) (which I love to sniff on my clothes and scarves as it lingers on and on)

I'm SO glad I discovered Milton Lloyd and I can't believe I paid £5 for this!! I ordered a haul of their sprays and Stars was the first one I tried. First of all, A+ for the sturdy 50ml bottles. I wouldn't hesitate to put this in my handbag to top up throughout the day (which is something I don't think I would say about ANY of my other full size perfumes). And then on top of that, it does NOT smell like five pounds, it smells like fifteen to twenty at least. I've never smelled Alien so can't comment on the similarity. On its own, what I get is a soft, soapy floral with a hint of sweetness that flickers in and out of focus. I can't imagine anyone would seriously regret buying this

I don't have TM Alien but do recognise the scent within this. As shushkin has said, it doesn't have the depth that the original has but it's still a really nice scent. Will comment on longevity and sillage once i've had a chance to wear it properly. Edit. This is better for spraying onto clothes rather than skin. It faded quite quickly on my wrists but i can still smell it on my scarf from a few hours ago. I could smell it coming off me for a bit while i was out and about too. Scent wise it does smell like Alien but again it's missing that oomph. Great if like me you can't currently afford Alien and can just spritz this throughout the day

I already have TMs Alien so I could do a direct comparison. Its not bad. Stars does not have Aliens depth and the top notes are a bit chemically but the dry down is pretty much spot on. Alien easily lasts all day on me and longer but Stars is weak and feable. Stars stays close to the skin after about half an hour. I keep it in my bag now to spritz during the day instead of using up my pricey but so worth it Alien.

I’ve never smelled Alien, but this is absolutely beautiful. Floral, powdery, but warm with no vanilla. (That’s a good thing, I’m sick of vanilla). It’s really Heavenly, actually. Never smelling the scent that inspired this, It’s not at all how I imagined Alien to smell based on the bottle and the name. I smell beautiful floral, Earth bound notes. This is an affordable, beautiful, safe pick.

A really good Alien dupe and very cheap. Obviously it doesn’t last as long or has as enough sillage as original but is still pretty nonetheless.

It's not miles away from Alien but it is also not an acceptable substitute. Stars also has the weird Milton Lloyd "Mystery Note" that features in many (not all) of their perfumes and that I find unpleasant*. Perhaps if I tried Stars without the preconception that it would be an inexpensive dupe for Alien then it would be different. As it is, I am a hard core Alien devotee and Stars doesn't do anything for me. If you haven't tried Alien and/or are not looking for its dupe, then by all means, try Stars. The notes are pretty nice and it is likely to to be a hit for many people. I fully admit that I approached this intending to compare it to Alien and should have known I would be disappointed, however I suggest that people give Stars a try. It's inexpensive enough to not be a huge problem if you find it's not for you, and if you like it, well then that's great :) *i don't know what the note is nor why it is in some Milton Lloyds and not others. It's a bit of a sour, sweet-decay kind of note. If anyone else knows what I mean and/or what the note is then please share the knowledge!

A perfectly acceptable clone of Alien for people on a budget. I love this brand in general but if I was gonna buy a clone of Alien I'd go for Iris by Yodeyma. It's slightly more expensive, about £12 for the 50ml but it's a worth the extra money. This is OK though, not a bad copy at all.

smells exactly like alien. like, it’s scary. and since alien is the only floral that I truly love, finding this is like christmas lol. it’s warm, sweet and mysterious with an edge. if you love alien but don’t want to waste it when you have to reapply buy this.
