Alien Aqua Chic

This was quite the revelation for me. I allways thought ALIEN was about jasmine, but ALIEN AQUA CHIC doesn't have ANY jasmine, but it is defenilty ALIEN. Hmmm... Well, what can I say about this. I like it a lot. I have not been an ALIEN-addict for so long and I do not know whether other flankers were better, but I don't have the money to track them down and buy them, so I make do with what I have. And what I have, is this little perfume. The opening is fresh and green. Very summery, but not beach-like summer. More like a sometimes rainy English (or Belgian) summer. The spiciness of the ginger adds some delicate warmth and juiciness to it. As the fragrance dries down, the rain stops and the sun breaks trough with all it's radiant warmth, shining on the field and woods and evoking the oh so beloved woody ambery scent of the ALIEN drydown, though a bit sharper than the original. In this fragrance I think the drydown is like the smell of warm, sunlit skin. Like having a picknick on a still raindamp field. Like taking a swim in a brook nearby. It's like all things great about summer. I do not know whether it would be appropriate to wear in countries with really hot summers, but here in Belgium it will do just fine, giving both lovely freshness and warmth. The longevity isn't that great, but what do you want with an EDT légère? It was never meant to have the power of the original. And the bottle is beautiful too! I thought those droplets were just for the commercial, to make it look more refreshing. But when you touch the bottle, you can actually feel them! I love it, and I love that the bottle has two colours now.

Oh, Alien Aqua Chic. My poor, misunderstood gem of a perfume. I read a lot of comments saying this is a masculine spicy asshole (Okay, not quite, but. Still.) Liking ginger is a must if you want to try this perfume. Right upon spraying, you get Ginger Sprite. A few minutes later, it turns into a ginger root, pried from the earth just seconds ago. After the dirty ginger phase (lasts only about 10 mins), you get Alien herself, although much, much lighter. I feel like this is a GREAT alternative to an Alien EDT if what you are searching for is a more wearable day/summer version. The ginger is what makes it work. It adds an edge to it- makes it more than just watered-down Alien. This is most definitely a power-perfume. Spray it on when you're feeling cocky or particularly pissed at the world (in a positive way, of course.) I love this perfume. Great for hot days (pretty much year-round here in Florida). I feel like anyone of any age could wear this. It's pretty non-offensive if you aren't ginger-phobic, and the silage isn't overpowering like some Mugler perfumes can be. Oh yeah, and the bottle is pretty stunning too. This is my signature fragrance for a reason! ♡

I like others smelt this at the Airport duty free when I was on holiday to Eygpt in May. I love the original Alien but my best friend and my other friend wear it religiously and put way too much on. The recognisable scent of Alien is what puts me off it. This is an Toilette Summer Edition of the original alien. I actually prefer it to the original myself. You can still tell that it is Alien, but it is light, fresh and more unique. It lasts a fairly long time, I wore it the other day to bed and could still smell it in the morning. When it wears off it smells more like a weakened down version of Alien which I really like. Ginger is one of the top notes, but I cant smell ginger. I can definately smell the freshness of the lemon but not so much the ginger. They really do go together well in this perfume. I also think this is a more floral version of Alien myself. It is perfect for summer light and not heavy like Alien can be. You will not smell this on other people for sure! The bottle is also beautiful, this is a nice alternative of the original Alien but I think it is best for the summer. I will be putting my bottle away until my next Holiday.

I discovered this recently at the Duty Free counter. Years ago I really disliked the original fragrance Alien. However, with my recent obsession with the ever chic Courtin-Clarins girls (grand daughters of the founder of Clarins) I had to give Alien another try, since it is their favorite perfume. To my surprise I actually liked it this time. What I liked even more is this version. Aqua Chic. The ginger is really a revelation. I feel more energized when I put this on in the morning (as I'm running late to class.) I love spicy woody fragrances, so it was just a matter of time before I succumbed to the grasp this perfume has on the fragrance aficionados. Fun Fact: Both my mom and I are wearing perfumes by Dominic Ropion. Alien for me and Carnal Flower for her. (I started to pay more attention to the Noses behind the scents)

I have steered clear of Thierry Mugler perfumes for years because they were always too busy and strange for me but this year i have discovered and fallen in love with Alien. Aqua Chic was my first foray into Alien and i love the smell of this scent. light but spicy and complex, it is a perfect summer smell. Sadly it hardly lasts and i was half way through the bottle within a month. I have now bought the original Alien and, while it does last a lot longer and is very similar, it is a tad heavy for high summer. Update: So I bought the orig. EdP and the new Essence Absolue. I like/love them both but Aqua chic remains me favourite. I love every ingredient in this cocotion but it doesnt last long enough! a couple of hours is the max for me. imo this should be reworked and brought out as a longer lasting full time flanker

I’m not terribly seasonal when it comes to fragrances, but Alien Aqua Chic has been a go-to summer scent for years. It was one of a small handful of fragrances that I brought with me during my summer studying German in Kiel, Germany. My season in Deutschland was marred by terrible humidity, record-breaking heat, and an excruciating lack of air conditioning. Yes, in some ways it was miserable, but my perfume game was one point, thanks to this scent. The Alien DNA is present in this fragrance, but the heaviness is replaced with a zesty ginger and lemon verbena mix. It is eccentric and adventurous, but not necessarily extroverted– which always fits my mood. A limited edition and one I always look forward to wearing. A love!

This can be quite masculin indeed. I noticed this after a couple of wears. It has a fresh masculin feel to it, but I like it. It's edgy and quite refreshing in the world of "clean" summer scents. And I'm talking really masculin, not Muglerian masculin. Lets say Fahrenheit Dior masculin (pretty muh defines my idea of a masculin fragrance, since my dad used to wear it when I was a kid). Of course it's absolutely not the same, and the "masculinity" here is toned down quite a bit, but it's that kind of masculin. It's funny because I don't think that masculin feel can be pinned down to one note. Or a couple. It's something extra. I do not think AQUA CHIC is "chic" after all, but it is very nice

I don't really get it...I only get the citrus and ginger notes at the beginning, but only for five minutes. The notes lsted here has nothing to do with the original, but the smell is almost exactly like the EDT, and similar to the original Alien (however this is much more wearable, less cloying, less jasmine-into-your face, but beautiful, very floral, very sweet. Sillega is quite good, but not a monster, but the longetivity IS A MONSTER! Can't even wash it off! :) If you like Alien, you are going to like this either. If you find Alien a little bit too much, give it a try! You'll easily find yourself loving it.

Yet another spritz from Mom; this one I didn't even know she had, and I wanted to try it because I've heard that the Alien flankers are good for those who can't wear the original. For whatever reason Alien is horrid, metallic, and screechy on me but this is quite pretty. It somehow has an aquatic and earthy feeling at the same time, if that makes any sense--the freesia and ginger make it feel like a sparkling drink, but the base is dark even though the perfume is light. So perhaps a dry champagne cocktail? I don't think the purple suits this at all, this is golden and bubbly. What a beauty!

I have a sample of Alien and Alien Aqua Chic 2012 Alien Aqua Chic : citrusy with fresh ground ginger and calm sweet Freesia scent I don't detect the Jasmine at all .it is definitely summery day scent . it is really a legere (light) scent Alien : woody Jasminey white floral ,you can immediately detect the Jasmine main show at first sniff, good for night. I guess what it makes them similar is the base note they both belong to Cashmeran galaxy but at the end they are different Alien species from different planets.

I have both the 2012 and 2013 versions and while I prefer the 2012 (Ginger) to the 2013 (citrus) I want to pass on the info that when buying, make sure you are getting the correct one by checking the box for the date and the side panel for the description. I applaud this company for describing the frag. on the box as I was unsure how different they they would be. they are the summer sisters to the winter Alien original. I do love the newest one too (extraordinaire ).

I blind bought this one since it got a huge discount and wanted to own a Thierry Mugler fragrance. First blast didn't like it, it was a bit weird to me. I can definitely smell ginger. But I waited for a bit for the dry down to make a full judgement and I got to say I am loving it as time passes by it get more lovely and I only did one spray on my wrist and it's lasts for a long time. Glad I bought it.

Beautiful, it's been a long time since the days I wore Angel. And to tell the truth, I had been shying away from anything by Thierry Mugler. Just too burnt out from Angel! Then I smelled Alien Aqua Chic and fell in love! I get a very faint hint of Angel days gone by. But more like a memory than a focal point. Well done, fresh fragrance that I'll be wearing through the spring and summer.

I just purchased this perfume at a discount store, soooo excited. I am quite a perfume colector. All I can say is Yes!!!!!!! I like this one more then the original Alien, it is a little bit softer and more feminine. I am in love. This is one of those perfumes that I just really see my self using for ever. I am in love. I do think that this fragrance more appropriate for night time.

This reminds me more of Alien EDT more than the EDP, i blind buy it but i like it i wear this in the office cause i work with 5 other people and i can't put original Alien it's too strong and maybe they won't like that much! It's smells good if you like the EDT version you will like this too, the other aqua chic and this one are very similar but i like that more! 8/10 for this one

This is my very first Fragrance in my life, a sales lady from Hudson's Bay recommended it to me. The smell of this fragrance is not too strong, by applying it on the wrist, it could last for no more than 3 hours. The florence scent of this fragrance is very sweet, warm and clean. I applied it day and night, boost my confidence to meet with people.

I LOVE all Mugler fragrances! My favorite is the Violet..OMG! so delicious! and special..I also love this one..It's base notes are awesome! I think he is a genius..All of his perfumes are very original, unique and have staying power.

I just received my free TM Alien Aqua Chic sample, and it is beautiful, I love it. You can tell that it is related to the original Alien, it has that spicy floral feel to it, but much lighter.

It reminds me a lot of a brasilian perfume called Madeira em Flor ( blossoming woods)by NATURA. This scent was discontinued but in hollidays they release it on limited edition.

OMG, I would love to have this fragrance!! I love love love all of the Alien fragrances by Thierry Mugler I have purchased. I will have to check out the mugler store website.
