Alien Extraintense

It's been some time since I hesitated on buying this. I would say I agreed with the disappointed reviews when I was only testing on the paper strip. Even the first wear didn't really blow my mind, it was really underwhelming: airy and light and superficially powdery. Even though some light sweetness was noticed. BUT I had a breakdown and went full in on buying a full bottle (why???) And OMG IT'S BEEN WONDERFUL AMAZING OTHERWORLDLY It's so Warm Addictive Sophisticated yet not in a Chanel way (too clean for me sorryyyyyy) more in a, well, Mugler is a designer fragrance house so, more in a long sexy yet power-move black sleek dress something you cannot take your eyes off, something you have seen multiple times and did not seem to care but when the dress was worn your jaw dropped and it had the most amazing impression on you -> something like that I wanted it to be an everyday scent, but it's very special occasion leaning. To those who obviously compare it to Alien: everyone knows Alien, but this one, I thought it was light so I wore it on a very normal boring day of work. THE COMPLIMENTS!!! When I walked in, sat down, after like 5 minutes everyone was turning their head in every direction wondering who smelled that good, this scent leaves a tray, it's powerful, the scent deserves its bottle. NOTE: My favorite perfume ever from Mugler is (beside Angel) Alien Goddess but the Intense version. I was so sad when for months it disappeared from the shelves (happy that summer is bringing it back I was sad I thought it was discontinued!!!). Maybe this is also why I love this Extra intense so much??? NOTE 2: I grew up smelling Alien everyday on my mom. I cannot wear Alien, even though I LOVE IT. This flanker, this one I can wear!!

I own the original Alien and D&G The Only One Intense and this new flanker of Alien is nothing like D&G Only 1 Intense. The D&G fragrance is very fruity on top with green apple and neroli and orange and there is a chamomile tea vibe in the top notes. Plus the D&G is a lot more coconut and vanilla heavy than Alien extra intense. Much more tropical vacation. I find Alien extra intense to be a softer more friendly and approachable little sister of the original. Basically it is the original DNA but with a touch of bubblegum tuberose, a splash of vanilla and a whisper of coconut. It is also less green in the top notes. The petigrain has been toned down by quite a lot and I think that is why my husband prefers this version of alien, along with the extra benefits of touches of vanilla and a whisper of coconut. I find this version of Alien quite similar to my bottle of L'Erbolario Lilla Lilla without the peach and cardamom on top. In other words if you find the original Alien to be to much for you give this version a try. I may buy this in the future. I love the fragrance and the bottle. It dries down to the same exact dry down of the original. A musky amber jasmine native on another planet. A jasmine not of our planet earth. Edit; I do not find this similar to the Alien Goddess line either. I dislike that line. The cactus note is disgusting in the super Nova one and the coconut is overwhelming and synthetic in the whole line I compared them side by side at Ulta with the Original and the extra intense is the twin sister of the original.

Woah. This is def extraaa intense lmao. Reminiscent of Alien obviously, but at the same time I also feel like I’ve never smelled anything like this before in my life. Like sooooo unique in the opening and then the og dna starts to kick in more.. I’m truly taken aback rn.. Need to feel it out for a few more days to fully decide, but so far I find it very polarizing yet very addictive at the same time.. like I’m not even fully sure if I’m vibing but I can’t stop sniffing the spot I sprayed lol..... ok wait even as I’m typing I’m already starting to lean towards I think I might be obsessed?? Gonna have to test it out a bit more... Also imo it doesn’t reallyyy smell similar to goddess intense.. I understand the comparison bc that one has more of the alien dna vibe too, but this one is defff different.. way more floral heavy and just like POW lmao.. borderline chemical like? but not in a bad wayyy idk how to describe it, it’s like futuristic.. and there’s even vanilla as it continues to dry down... (u know what it actually does kinda resemble goddess intense just without the coconut) yeahhh really starting to love this even tho it’s so different from my vibe (Angel girly).. if there’s one thing I can say for sure tho it’s that this is truly otherworldly smelling. Edit: seems to last a long time too.. I sprayed it last night at 11 and now it’s 8:30 the next morning and can still smell it strong! The cashmere/vanilla combo really shine in the dry down

When Alien Extraintense first came out, it wasn’t really up my alley. I sprayed the tester on my boyfriend’s arm since my own hands and wrists were already taken up with other perfume demos. That was my first mistake. His skin chemistry is obviously different from mine, and on him, it smelled almost identical to the husk of a coconut, a little stale and woody. I didn’t get any floral notes from his arm and was honestly confused about how this could be an Alien flanker. Flash forward to earlier this week when I decided to give it another try, and I’m so glad I did. I still can’t decide which part is my favorite. I love the citrusy, tart opening that reminds me a bit of Hypersense, just without the sweetness. The mix of tuberose and jasmine is elegant, smooth, bold, and sensual. It leans more toward tuberose, and only in certain moments do I catch that familiar “Alien jasmine.” It’s still there, just softer, not the main player. The cashmere dry down feels very Alien — fuzzy, warm, soft, and comforting. I’m not really picking up much vanilla, which I was hoping for, since a touch of sweetness would have brought it closer to Essence Absolue. Still, I really enjoy this perfume. It feels like a bolder take on Alien, and if Alien had a half sister, this would be her, different in character, but sharing the same soul in the dry down.

There is no OG Alien in this. I am wearing it right now, and it is identical to Eaudemoiselle de Givenchy Extravagant, Michael Michael Kors, Oros Pour Femme and Armani Prive Rouge. OG Alien pops its head for the first 10 second upon first spray, and it gets replaced by heady tuberose there on after. All the perfumes i listed above are about 99% similar to Alien Extraintense, including their performance and longevity. With that being said, as a big Mugler fan (vintage), i can appreciate this for what it is, and one way to make this perfume deviate from the others i mentioned above is to take quick shower 20 to 30 minutes after spraying it. it will mellow out the tuberose and make it a tad different, but still very noticeable and in your face. This version of Alien is extremely sexy, but i would make sure not to wear this to the office. I suspect many coworkers would complain due to tenacity of it. I tested many recent Mugler releases in the past few days, and i am discovering that they are getting unjustly dissed, quite possibly from those who remember and cherish the OG stuff. I collect everything Mugler, and i am sad that he is gone, but the new stuff that has been coming out is very sexy and pretty, regardless. My advice is, go and test on your skin, and do not pay attention to the negative reviews.

Sexy for humid weather. I saw someone layered it with SDJ 59- it’s amazing. I have the SDJ 59 Body butter cream and the body spray - I freaking love the way I smell with this combo . Definitely a head turner scent even the perfume alone smells addicting . I love the smoky woodiness depth- it’s really sensual, creamy, milky smooth texture- the jasmine is one of the most prettiest jasmines I’ve smelled in a good long while . The vanilla is green and a touch gourmandish. It is listed for cold weather or night time but it’s so good in hot summer weather too. I had Quattro Pizzi before and absolutely HATED it - it smelled like an old crusty used up, calcified bar of soap it was very one dimensional and DRY. I didn’t love it or like it at all I sold it within a few weeks. A few additional notations; I would also say this kind of reminds me of that cheap perfume : yara the yellow one (gave that one away) and also reminds me of Jo Malone Cheiroya (sp?) its the green bottle with the pink cap — I prefer Alien Extraintense by a freaking landslide just because it has so much depth on my skin compared to the previous similar scent profiles i’ve tried. I found a 90ML bottle for $89.99 at Ross

First, let me say, there is NO coconut in this perfume. This is NOT a gourmand ..There is NO coffee, nothing edible. It's A WOODY FLORAL... That tiny touch of vanilla does not a gourmand make! It doesn't even smell like food..sweet or bitter. 🤨 Now that we have that out of the way... I was completely prepared not to like this..but, this is a beautiful tuberose, cashmere and amber gem. It's SO much nicer than I expected..if anything, I kind of smell something powder-y, but it's the cashmeran..it dries to such a nice version of powdered, woody tuberose. Even though there is NO coconut, there IS something summer like about it. I do get the Goddess reference too. It could be a flanker. I don't always like tuberose as it can be a screechy, loud, headache inducing scent. But, it's well done here..not overpowering at all. The drydown is really beautiful. Has decent performance. NOTE- SO I compared this sample with the small bottle of Hypersense I got last year and this one is SO much nicer. I LOVE Jasmine, but this Tuberose is SO well done , I will have to add to my wishlist for a FB purchase.

A very, very likeable, sweet, powdered vanilla based Alien with tuberose at forefront instead of jasmine. For me, Alien Extraintense resembles more of Alien Goddess or Supra Florale than the original Alien. What I mean by that is that this version pulls very beachy, light bubblegumy tuberose, instead of heady jasmine and cashmeran. And I love how it smells, I honestly think it’s better than both versions mentioned above, even though I own both! But this is not a head turning perfume as Alien is, this is just your average sweet vanilla based white floral. With that being said, I don’t feel like it’s an intense/stronger version of the original Alien. I am not quite sure if it’s supposed to be this, but if that’s the case, mission failed. Will I buy a small bottle of Alien Extraintense for summer wear? Most likely yes, because it’s super mass appealing and sweet and that’s what I like to wear sometimes, especially when on holidays. But I need the prices to go down, because currently it’s more expensive than some niche fragrances are and it’s just not worth that kind of money!

Initial thoughts after having it for 2 days: love it. I agree there are similar vibes to the only one intense and rouge malachite and vert malachite. Much less in-your-face than the OG. Softer but still strong. Lasting power is shorter in comparison to current formulation of the original but still lasts many hours. I sense a slightly green or herbal/sharp opening, and it has warm non-gourmand vanilla all throughout. The type of vanilla reminds me of Angel Elixir or of Good Fortune. I do get the tuberose but it is not bubblegummy, more green. After the opening settles, you can feel the alien DNA underneath, but she is never the forefront. It's very pretty and honestly kind of sexy!!! I still prefer the original but I do like this as a softer, more wearable, but still dark-toned scent. You won't scare people away with this one, don't be scared, you can spray a few more times than the OG (current formulation)

Oh my GOD. That bottle is unbelievably breathtaking.. very curious to see how this will smell compared to the original.. Mugler was the brand that got me into perfume at the beginning of last year so I’m always excited to see what they come up with next! I fell in love with their recent Angel flanker Fantasm so fingers crossed we get an intense Angel flanker release soon too! Edit: omg! It seems my prayers have been answered! After doing some digging, I found out there is in fact a new Angel flanker coming out soon as well!! There aren’t notes or anything listed yet at all just some leaks of the packaging and name.. supposedly it will be called “Angel Stellar” !! The bottle looks gorgeous in a vibrant translucent neon blue.. cannot wait for both of these! Also.. can y’all PLEASE re release Angel Muse and Muse edt in some way shape or form? Like.. please?? 😭

I went out today the 29th of January to the local perfume shop (Mado in Mauritius) and I decided to try men fragrances while waiting for my gf. SO I decided to check what was new too on the lady's section and the salesperson there guided me to this little gem. First you get this AWESOME Alien for women dna by mugler, like the ltiginal. VERY floral fresh at the top with a generous dose of vanilla. As it dries down, ARound 30-40 minutes it becomes a sweet scent. I am in the cafe for an 1 hour as I'm writing this and I decided to take out the strip in the café, while sipping my coffee I can smell the strip which is like 2 feet from me on the table. This is a powerful scent that will turn heads and create sensation around you. This is for the confident, respectful, sexy lady that is a 10 for sure. Recommended. I will buy this for my lady 💯

I'm in LOVE with this perfume. It's very sweet but not headache type sweet more like a fresh candy, it's bubblegummy (multiple friends said it smells like bubble gum), tuberose and jasmine in this perfume accommodate each other very well giving off a long lasting fresh smell. To me it's very spring/summer type of scent, day and night. Whenever I use this perfume i'd always want to frolic on the green grass on a sunny day. Also, for some reason I have some kind of a problem with scents lasting on my body, like it will only stick to my skin for about less than 5-6 hours but this mugler extraintense perfume lasts quiet long, about 7-8 hours (12 if indoors) which is awesome... definitely would go for a refill once mine runs out :P amazing scent.

Blind bought this immediately because it finally is sold at chemist warehouse and wow. Thats first spray is not what I expected. It’s giving grape candy in a way but very quickly turns into a strong petitgrain smell. it’s a very green and “sharp edged” smell. Soon after it becomes jasmine and tuberose forward with a creamy floral aroma. Definitely vanilla in this but not in the way you are used to. The vanilla is not a sweet gourmand that you can eat but almost an additional fruity/floral aroma. She’s essentially a creamy slightly sweet white floral blast with a green edge and opening. Unlike its mother Alien, you can free ball this more and spray as much as you need. Longevity and sillage are decent. 8/10 for me.

The tuberose is definitely on the almondy side (it can be a reason why some might detect coconutty notes), and jasmine is also some kind of spicy version, which makes Extraintense the classic "Muglery out of the box style". I can't detect disturbing undertones, like I could in Alien Goddess (the sweat-like musky drydown), this looks like a well tought out creation, but it feels like it needs a bit of maturation to be better blended. Cashmeran gives depth with its woodiness, and vanilla makes it slightly creamy, and this is where this perfume won me over. The whole thing is irresistible, makes me sniff my wrist and clothes again, I have a feeling that I'm gonna love it for the cold season.💖

I wasn’t a fan of the OG when it launched in 2005. But I’m a late bloomer. Jasmine and I weren’t friends until this year. I’m thoroughly enthralled by it now. (I purchased a bottle off LUSH LUST earlier this summer. That’s saying something.) Extraintense is radiant, warm, soft, and alluring. Calming and enveloping. A masterfully balanced blend. Gentle jasmine impeccably accented by subtle tuberose. With woody cashmeran, semi-sweet vanilla, ambery touches, and some solar feel. Beautifully creamy, perfectly resinous. A versatile, inoffensive, addicting easy reach. The best Alien of them all, in my opinion. I bought a bottle after just one wear of my sample.

Very similar to og Alien and Alien Goddess intense. The mix of tuberose and vanilla can give off coconut vibes, but there is no (I repeat) no coconut whatsoever. The tuberose is creamy and perfectly blended. This is neither gourmand nor strictly floral, rather a great mix of both worlds. Good for both daytime and nighttime. And the bottle is just gorgeous (black and violet ombre is stunning)! This is also not at all similar to Lancome LVEB Soleil Cristal as one person noted (for reference, I hate Soleil Cristal and it has poor longevity, while I love Extraintense and it lasts for hours, also projects more but is not a beast as the og Alien).

If it means anything - this one behaved very differently on me. I tried it in the store, enamored. Bought it, and... it was fine, but like it wasn't the same scent. I even had to inquire about the provenance of my bottle, all good. I was disappointed. But, a few weeks later, it was the the same scent as in the store! I don't know what happened, was it maceration or what, but the scent was radically different. Thats why I wonder, while reading the reviews, what scent profile the reviewer had the chance to experience. I wouldn't be this in love had it been like at first after purchase.

Just received! Heavy, milky tuberose, a dollop of vanilla, and clean jasmine grandiflorum through the mid/ base. On the final stage of drydrown I get a heavy dose of cashmeran along with the tuberose and jasmine battling it out for dominance. Reminds me a tad bit of The Only One Intense. This is absolutely not the OG Alien. For that, try Mazyon by Blend Oud. I think this is absolutely a safe blind buy if you enjoy white florals with a vanilla gourmand twist. Long lasting and already received two compliments! One of my favorite Alien flankers, and I have tried them all!

An elegant lady in a figure-hugging purple dress walks by. In her arms she has a handful of white flowers in a beautifully tied bouquet that spreads a wonderfully fresh and slightly powdery scent. She smiles a warm smile when she meets her friend (who is dressed in a soft vanilla cream-colored dress). Together they enter the lobby of the luxury hotel. I just love this scent that manages to be both inviting and classy. I have to be careful when using this perfume, because on me it smells A LOT! And the scent lasts for about 8 hours on me. So soft. So warm. So elegant...

This is the best Mugler release so far! If you enjoy bold, complex, floral scents, you are going to love Extraintense version. Comparing to the original Alien this one screams sexy, there is something addictive about this perfume. Fragrantica got the notes wrong, there is a cardamon in here. This is perfect signature scent for the boss lady. It opens up with the burst of jasmine and tuberose, sprinkle of cardamon, and woody base. Not for the faint hearted for sure. I can imagine someone like Maleficent smelling like this. Big love, already bought a back up bottle
