Alien Fusion

Update 4/18 ok don’t come for me!! I think I let my initial smell excite me!! Are the notes spot on for the oil dupe? Yes ✅ Does it project? Only for about an hour sadly! Sillage Non. Same with projection for like the first hour it feels strong like the OG, but after the first hour? It’s more of a close by or skin scent. Is it still worth it? YES ✅ I’ve been looking for something even close for three years so the fact that when I smell this I get teary eyed and happy? Thy got the notes down for this!! 💕 and Yes at least I CAN smell it on me!! And if you have a partner they will def be able to smell it and probably anyone talking to you... so it’s a DUPE!! It’s sadly not a loud dupe 😔 but at least us Alien Fusion Lovers have something now when Mercari stops having any bottled 😭 For now? I can also mix my 5 o clock Gingembre by Serge Lutens with a basic tuberose solinote? And that will sorta help!? Yo lattafa, Paris Corner etc?? Instead of making 50 versions of Delina? You should have a subsidiary of your House, that takes requests?? Just a thought?? Is this a possibility?? Ok hope this helped! I HATE YOU MUGLER/Loreal!!! You keep releasing mediocre Alien flankers!! Just bring back Fusion Jesus Love Heaven Update 4/17 duh me 🤦♀️ it is also sold in a spray bottle as well I sadly noticed after I had bought it!! I will come back with update on lasting power etc! I can say, that it definitely was stronger than most dupe oils that I’ve tried, by a lot! But no, it’s not as strong as the OG, but it’s very close! You know when you spray a dupe or try an oil and it’s a blind buy? That first try? And you really really hope you like it!? You’re either going to feel excited joy and almost relief 😮💨 or you get a ..”ehh it’s not that bad”? I can say with 💯 clarity that this blind buy gave me excited joy and relief at finally finding something close that brings me the joy of the OG alien fusion!! It’s close enough? That when I have no more bottles of my beloved? I can wear this dupe oil and still have some of the joy that AF gave me, still on my wrist even if it’s not edp level performance .. the first sniff did give some strong performance that I was surprised! I didn’t pay attention to how long it lasted yet! I Will wear tomorrow alone and update on sillage and lasting power thx to @Ricewitch, I realized AFTER I bought it that comfort crafts alien fusion oil, had a spray bottle as well! 🤦♀️ oops Omg OMG!!! I FINALLY FOUND A 99% spot on schmupe!!!! I ordered from a few perfume oil people nobody could get it right I googled and got a few names then I checked the reviews and I went with this company called: COMFORT CRAFTS (yes I was like oh boy with a name like this it will probably smell like a craft oil?) NOPE ITS THE CLOSEST SCHMUPE SO FAR and I’ve been looking for 3 years!!! It was like $25 with shipping for a roller ball (I wish it was a spray) but it’s amazing! It’s strong, it’s spot on and it lasts so far!!! https://comfortcrafts.com/

While they vibe the same, I do find rouge malachite a scent of it's own. Much stickier, much creamier, much thicker. Fusion for me is more Translucent, more airier. Alien Fusion. I much much Prefer this to the original (both clarins version, bottom claw or Alien). Let me Tell you about performance, Clarins version. It's fills an entire room. If you really want to know how a frag performs, don't test it on yourself. Test it on a friend. And fabric. (for instance, your washable footrug). I've just sprayed some wood in the fireplace and it is projecting atleast 6 meters. I kid you not. In the scentcloud i mostly get cinnamon, tuberose or white flowers, pink pepper and lot's of VANILLA. (Some get ginger, I don't , never have never will and I owned quite a few ginger heavy frags, for me it's pepper) I sprayed that same wood also the day before in the afternoon (it's morning now) and let me tell you...that drydown! It was projecting maybe 3 meters and I thought, where is that divine vanilla scent coming from? Do I own a straight up vanilla? Me thinks not. Vanilla lovers, you KNOW what kind of vanilla i'm talking about! The vanilla in Lune Feline drydown, the vanilla in the drydown of mon guelain intense if you need specifics. Yes, that perfect, classy airy vanilla. OMG. I've been a fusion fan since it came out. Still got a back up bottle and no regrets. I was sniffing those logs like an addict. If you don't get vanilla out of it, try it on clothes or whatever you want. Trust me. You'll see. The drydown on skin is a bit more powdery as with a lot of frags. Still gorgeous! Lasts forever and ALWAYS get's me compliments from any age. I don't find this a nineties perfume at all! And i've lived those, not in diapers. To my dismay, I'm 46. Luckily I look ten years younger and dress like a twenty something. Sorry, ego talking. 🤪 I prefer niche, I hate perfumey perfumes which are in abundance in the designer world and this is just heaven. Nothing alcohol perfumey, could easily be niche. Anyway, that's my take. Just emptied my second large bottle. Third bottle i Will keep hidden for a while. A real shame they discontinued this scent. All good things must come to an end... Edit, two weeks after spraying those logs, they still smell like a gorgeous peppery vanilla. 😳

I’m just coming here to update ... almost 3 yrs after I discovered this (and lost my original fragrantica act) of course discovered this when it was already discontinued ugh of course and so I’ve spent the last 3 yrs Re-upping from sources whenever I see my precious lol I’m not a perfume collector that gets everything in front of them! I’m picky! I’m a tuberose and cinnamon LOVAAAH! So poison has been my ride or die since HS!! 88! Alien Fusion is the more serious cousin, from Europe, she doesn’t party she reads and goes to cafes! Poison is highly sexual and has a softness in there that alien fusion doesn’t? The ginger cinnamon tuberose a bit of orange blossom amber & a tiny bit of vanilla make Ms Fusion a bit more dryer...I don’t want to use the word (moist) but poison is and alien fusion is not! She’s a dry summer night!! And yes I do wear her on summer nights as well as fall! I actually prefer her on summer nights! I’m wild like that!! She fits the librarian in me perfectly!! I’m in love. And I write to Mugler.com (pls feel free fusion fans to do the same!!! I leave a review of fusion there ask why they don’t make it anymore, in my review and after my review I then write them a letter to pls bring her back!! And they say sorry every time!??? Yet they have all these other dumb alien flankers!?! wtf? (I write to them a few times a year and just end up getting hurt) So pls JOIN me in this letter writing crusade!!) to bring this baby back! This is my issue with them and L’Oréal !! They should have kept: original,alien of course goddess for beach summer gals, and fusion should be regular flankers!! But instead Mugler has no identity anymore!?? It just makes sense to keep those three as the main biatxhes and for the different seasons and the colors represent the year beautifully but nope, Mugler is dumb! Sorry rant over Ughh I shouldn’t be sharing my love of alien fusion here!! But I can’t gate keep. I spend a couple days each month trying to find sisters or cousins of her...nothing!! In a world full of gourmands?? Be a fusion!! Girlies if you know of ANYTHING SIMILAR PLS DM ME!!? And ( no to me Linterdit is not similar because no cinnamon)! :(

Mugler Alien fragrances are a very specific vibe. Alien glamour, feral confidence, seduction as a sport and a slight threat you can't name. You’re both the hero and the villain of your own sci‐fi opera. It opens like a fruit bowl flirting with a spice rack - orange blossom is there, fluttering its lashes whilst amber and vanilla are lurking politely in the background. Then, Tuberose storms in, wearing bubblegum-scented platform boots. Cinnamon and orange blossom immediately become supporting characters. The ratio is 70% tuberose, 30% orange blossom, and 100% “I didn’t realize my perfume was about to chew bubblegum and fight crime.” The ginger is technically present, but only in the way a toddler “helps” with baking. It waves a spoon around, contributes very little and disappears before the timer starts. The scent stays in its bubblegum–spice–floral era until the dry down, where amber and vanilla return to restore order. Cinnamon hangs around because cinnamon always hangs around. It’s the clingiest spice. If cinnamon were a person, it would text “hey” at 2 a.m. Projection: Strong enough to announce your presence, not strong enough to summon the police. If Alien is a foghorn, Fusion is a confident kazoo. Final Thoughts: Approved. It’s a great flanker: familiar enough to feel like Alien’s sibling, but different enough that it’s not just Alien wearing a novelty moustache. Bright opening, warm spicy-floral heart - like a cinnamon bun that went to finishing school, and then a cozy dry down. Less aggressive than Alien, so if Alien felt like being spiritually tackled, Fusion is more like a firm, respectful hug. Fusion smells like Alien after a spa weekend: still powerful, still slightly weird, but calmer and wearing a robe. If you love Alien but want something lighter and spicier, Fusion delivers. If Alien was too much for you, Fusion might be the gateway Mugler that you didn’t know you needed. Prepare for obsession. It's Mugler, it's an easy love.

This is probably my #2 favorite perfume of all time. I don’t like the original Alien at all but LOVE this one. Lately the original Alien has taken on a powdery, soapy scent to me, but Fusion has no soapiness whatsoever. It’s not nearly as cloying or aggressive as the original Alien- to me that’s a good thing but I know a lot of people say they are disappointed with the projection and lasting power. I am not. I’m prone to migraines so I tend to appreciate fragrances that don’t incapacitate the wearer and those in close proximity. I do spray a good bit - if I want it to really project I do 8-10 sprays, 2-4 if I’m trying to be more subtle. I bought it at a discount and have 3 backup bottles so this is not a problem for me. It lasts about 6 hours on my skin, longer on clothes. I can get a few more hours out of it if I really overspray. As for the notes I mainly get cinnamon and jasmine. The cinnamon is not a dry, nose-assaulting one but a sweet one. The jasmine is the typical Alien jasmine. I know it’s listed as orange blossom and tuberose but I’m calling it jasmine bc it smells the same to me as the “jasmine” in og Alien. In the dry down the amber comes through but the jasmine and sweet spicyness are still there. I wear this anywhere, anytime - on the spectrum of Aliens this is pretty light and agreeable so I think it works for most occasions, other than the gym or church. I hope they don’t ever discontinue this or I will be lost. Just for sh*ts and giggles here’s my list of Aliens (that I’ve tried) ranked from favorite to least favorite: Alien Fusion Alien liqueur de parfum Alien Sublime Alien essence Absolue Alien eau Extraordinaire Alien (original) Alien Flora Futura (hate this one)
