Alien Eau Sublime

If I could only choose one favourite fragrance it would probably be the original Alien EDP. As much as I love it, it's not a fragrance I can wear in all situations. I love many of the flankers as much (a couple, even more) as the original. In the heat Alien EDP just too much. Eau Sublime is one of the flankers that works nicely in warmer weather. It carries a strong thread of the Alien DNA, so you do have to like the Alien jasmine to appreciate Eau Sublime. Of the summer leaning flankers Eau Sublime is the closest to the original with the strongest performance. It differs from the original in the strong citrus opening and I find the citrus stays present throughout the wear keeping this lighter and fresher than the original. I don't smell the other florals in the mid, but I do get a powderiness, probably from the heliotrope, that I don't get in Alien EDP. There is also a creamy sweetness that never feels gourmand, but feels like it is coming from the florals. I think therest of the florals also help to tame the jasmine, since it's not a powerful as it is in the EDP. Eau Sublime has a softer and lighter woodiness than the original and I only notice it once it has dried down. The performance of Alien Eau Sublime is excellent. It lasts all day on my skin, 8-10 hours. It projects beyond arms length for at least half that time and even after that it still has a moderate projection. Not the eternal, room filling performance of the original, but that may make Eau Sublime a better choice for some people. Eau Sublime is strong enough to work all year and may make an excellent alternative for people looking for the Alien DNA with an easier to manage performance. I really enjoy Eau Sublime for a summer night. It has the jasmine that makes it sensual and beautiful for a night out and the citrus keeps it light enough for a bit of heat. It is strong enough that it will still be too strong for some people in the summer, especially very hot and or humid days. Eau Extrordinaire is the flanker I reach for when the temperature is soaring and the humidity is suffocating. The bottle is recognizeably Alien in shape and the colour makes me think summer. The white bottom fading into clear at the top looks gold because of the golden coloured juice. This is a fragrance that's getting harder to find now that it is discontinued. It's worth picking up for any Alien lover if it pops up for a reasonable price.

The Alien for warm weather! It retains the original Alien DNA but has added a multitude of citruses, various types of florals, solar notes, galbanum and vanilla. It’s such a seductive combination of notes and it smells unique, outside Alien family! It’s a warm, citrusy, jasmine heavy, tropical, powdery, solar, luminous, energising, uplifting perfume with a sweet vanilla/amber/cashmeran base. It’s unlike anything in my collection and God knows I am obsessed with tropical and floral perfumes! Alien Eau Sublime was launched in 2017 as a limited edition EDT and it such a shame that Mugler didn’t see the potential of this becoming a summer classic for women! It’s so beautiful, nuanced, almost beachy smelling, but in a very sophisticated, luxurious manner! I will cherish whatever it’s left from my 60 ml bottle for as long as I can because it’s no longer available anywhere to replace once it’s gone... If you can get this in original anywhere near you, an outlet, a second hand market/website and you live in a tropical/Mediterranean climate, you won’t regret buying it! It’s very close to the OG Alien formula but with a tropical, sunny, citrusy twist!! Sublime creation, Mr. Ropion! And to whoever’s in charge of Mugler currently, please discontinue Alien Goddess and Supra Florale and bring Eau Sublime back. Please!!! It’s 1000 times better than all of the summer targeted flankers that you sell currently!

Mmmm...Yum, yum. Wearing this all day and loving it. Perfect weather for it too. It's light, but has the Alien Jasmine with a creamy, citrusy component. I'm also getting a little bit of spice, and I'm not sure if it's pepper or not, but whatever it is adds a little pep and keeps the composition fresh. Amber isn't heavy in this. It is there, just lightly done and perfect for warmer weather. I think it's what adds the creaminess to this scent. Pretty good silage and longevity too. I really need a few more wears to fully dissect it, but right now I'm enjoying this a lot. I'm so happy this turned out to be a great blind buy. I know it is going to get a lot of use this spring and summer. 6/4/21 - I now have Extraordinaire too and between this one and that, Sublime is more like the child of Alien than Extraordinaire. Though they both share a lot of the same notes, this has the Alien Jasmine and that doesn't. You can tell this is an Alien Flanker whereas the same cannot be said about Extraordinaire. That is so different it could be a fragrance unto itself instead of a flanker. So, for me they are so different it is worth having both. And I love them both too as they are great fragrances for the summer. You are sure to stand out wearing either one.

I have always appreciated the bombshell that is Alien. It's a decadent floral that lingers and encapsulates your surroundings. But I have never been able to wear it...its just too strong. In comes Eau Sublime. I was timid going in - afraid it would be another sillage explosion like the original. But after sniffing the sample tube and getting that delicious jasmine...I couldn't resist. I sampled it on my skin and fell in LOVE. This is a more wearable Alien, that's for sure. But she has her own way about her. She's warm and sparkly. Enveloping, but close to home. She feels like sunshine on a breezy, warm spring day. Jasmine is still the star here, but she's natural, slightly sweet and lingering. The tiare flower adds a warm, (almost!) beachy vibe, very carefree, but not careless. Eau Sublime is well blended and still holds an aura of sophistication. The cashmere is the perfect snuggly base. This is the perfume equivalent of being on a balcony overlooking a lush valley with sunshine on your skin. I can't wait to get my hands on a full bottle! It is just as gorgeous as the juice inside!

My all-time favourite. This is the one that originally got me hooked on perfumes. I only have about five sprays left. I’ve been saving them for over two years because I can’t bear the thought of not even being able to smell this fragrance anymore. I would be so happy if I could find another bottle someday and wear my beloved scent again. I have been searching for it for ages now. It was never widely available in Finland, so it has never really appeared on our local second-hand marketplaces. This fragrance always makes me emotional. It fills me with happiness and brings back so many memories, both good and bad. There’s something incredibly comforting and familiar about it. It feels like home to me. No other fragrance has ever been this meaningful or made me feel the way this one does. If anyone has a bottle they’d be willing to sell (partially used one is absolutely fine too) and can ship it to Finland from within the EU, I would be forever grateful.
