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)

Four samples directly from Mugler. Review and comparisons: Spices: Ginger: gone in 3 mins. max. Cinnamon: faint. So, if you don’t like spices, it’s probably safe. If you’re buying it FOR the spices, you’ll probably be disappointed. Performance: Abysmal and it really ticks me off. Not OK! BUT I have an irrational relationship w/ Mugler: so I’lI probably get a big bottle. 🙄 OG Alien comparison: -Same skeleton w/ the simple pyramid. Instead of jasmine, it’s tuberose. -Retains the amber. Substitutes the base (cashmeran) w/ a not gourmand vanilla. -Slight dusting of powder. - I almost like this more than the reformulated Alien. (But again, performance.) -Fusion has the OG “grapey-ness” and no diaper. Rouge Malachite comparison: For context, IMO RM is overrated and not that similar to Alien. It’s not as bright. RM is a tuberose bomb. Fusion’s tuberose is soft and tolerable, so if you’re not crazy about that note, I think you’ll be okay with Fusion. I just don’t think RM is worth 4x the price of Fusion, even if discounted. It’s just not that similar to Alien, or I would consider it. I think Amouage Journey is more similar to Alien than RM. Again, not enough for me to get it as a substitute. In conclusion: Fusion is softer and has better manners than OG Alien. It’s the best Alien flanker still on the market. Emphasis on ‘still on the market.’ After testing the common dupes, I’m going to get this one because it’s the closest. It is divine, in its own right though. I’m gonna get it and blast myself with 16 sprays because I cannot be helped. Hope this helps! —— Edit: Yes. I got a FB and no regrets. Yes. I am spraying 16+ times and my bottle isn’t going to last long. Oh well. Carpé Diem!

@ ihomi25 below me... I’m afraid she may have gotten a fake bottle! 😢 even if you get a semi old bottle this perfume stays spicy! I hope she gets to try a good bottle! But it’s getting harder. And harder to find!! I like to update my review every six months in the hopes that Mugler will STOP with the same ole same ole original Alien flankers no one likes, and to PLEASE for the love of goddess, bring this one back! I also write to them every six months! So ppl if you love this like I do? Pls write to them on their site! 💕 It’s so infuriating that all the perfumes ppl pick in the “this smells like” section? Are all perfumes that smell like the original alien and not the Fusion! I fell in love with this after they’d stopped making it in 2022. And I pick up a bottle whenever I see one! So I got thru about two 2.5oz bottles per yr! I wear it mostly in fall winter but also summer nights! I’ve looked high and low and I can’t find any perfume even similar!! 😢 if anyone knows?? People give suggestions like Armani rouge malachite etc but it’s not the same without the cinnamon! They’re like cousins... I look on here and I use the notes and I tried to narrow it down by the notes and I literally cannot find something with the orange blossom, ginger, cinnamon, tuberose and vanilla combo. Nothing even close.... My heart is breaking... anyone knows if anything similar please let me know. Inbox me here!! 💕 and just so you have an idea of my taste. I’m an old-school girl poison is my signature in the fallen winter, but only infusion kind of knocked it out of its top spot! Ha

This scent creates an alluring sweet, warm, spicy, ambery scent bubble that feels rich and intoxicating and sexy. But it only gives me that effect in the right weather which is warm/hot humidity. It kind of lingers in the dense humid air wheres other fragrances can just evaporate or get eaten up in that climate. When I first bought this it was a hot dry summer and although I thought it smelled nice it didn't last or project, as I said it was nice but I didn't notice the real beauty until I wore it in humid weather. That's wear it truly shines. It's perfect for a hot humid summer night, when you're dressed up and want to feel sexy and slightly exotic. In cold weather I found it was just sweet and short lived not that special. Some perfumes really are weather dependent, I've found to get the best out of them. It can sit on your shelf for years in the "just ok" category until you wear it in the right climate and boom. Heaven Fusion definitely has the Alien dna but it's softer, less intense because it's not a hardcore jasmin heavy hitter like the og (comparing to vintage og) it's warmer with a little spice from the cinnamon/ginger and the tuberose gives me a tiny bit of a tropical sunscreen vibe. It's more like a cloud that you catch in the air rather than a punch in the face that the OG gives... I like the strong OG punch btw, that's just my comparison 9/10

i love this fragrance 😍 the cinnamon doesn’t jump that much for me. it’s barely detectable. but the tuberose, ginger, orange blossom & amber are a million dollar combo wow. i actually find this to be better than og alien, which i also love. this one is like a younger hot & fun sister to alien. it’s more wearable, also sweet & soft. from the second it is sprayed to the dry down it is an absolutely heavenly smell👅 the vanilla comes out later and plays wonderfully with the other notes. somehow it still has alien dna, probably with the beautiful amber. it lasts decent, a good 4-5 hrs, but not as long as og alien or other mugler fragrances, which last up to 12-14 hours on me usually. the bottle is gorgeous, & the scent is warm, spicy and sweet. i have seen comparisons to libre intense, a perfume i also have, & i do not see much of a resemblance on me between the two. in my opinion it is safe to buy this one if u also have that one. i would say it is a safe blind buy if u love og alien, & generally like sweet scents. this is for sure going to be a dumb reach for me. the floral & amber mix is to die for! this is my favorite flanker so far. i love it as of now in cold weather, & i’m guessing it’s going to be just as good during the summer. i am not surprised by all the great reviews! what a gem. hope everyone has a great year💕💕

Let me start off by saying I thoroughly dislike original Alien. Yes, I am a fan of Mugler but not of original Alien. I came across this Alien flanker haphazardly and because of the beautiful red bottle (and the hyperbolic reviews just about everywhere) I wanted to have a first impression of the scent, so I after the first spay I was hooked! Yes this one contains the same DNA as the original BUT it's definitely no the same smell (thankfully). Original Alien feels very masculine and strong, almost gag-inducing while A Fusion is an alluring, feminine, spicy-gourmand scent that I absolutely love!! Upon initial spray the cinnamon and ginger come across very strong but as the heart notes appear, the scent of the white flowers emerge harmonizing with the spicy notes adding sweetness to the mix, finally as the base notes settle down it leaves an almondy-vanilla scent that lasts forever on my skin and clothes. Two perfumes that come to mind (other than the original Alien) after smelling this scent are: Love by Chloe and Hypnotic Poison. Love by Chole is definitely a more floral scent while Hypnotic Poison is more of a gourmand scent, none of them are exactly like A fusion but are on the same vibe. All three are amazingly long-lasting and intoxicatingly delicious to the point of addiction. 10/10 for me!!!

This is sooooo much better than the original to me and sadly I didn’t discover this until 8/22, they already stopped making it! So for the past year I’ve been buying bottles Off of eBay and Mercari. I’ve bought about four bottles the last year and a half. Sadly my first was a loreal grr. The rest were, Finally the og clarins made.... Omg it’s Beautiful! I don’t get it!? out of all the aliens how they could discontinue THIS one!? and the people with negative Reviews ? I don’t get you. Ha Watch Mila perfume reviews she loved this one too and she was a major alien lover!? This? I can immediately smell the ginger and the cinnamon yes there is orange blossom but not overly done ! it helps the spice to pop! And the tuberose rolling about the spices? Lovely not overly done! So feminine so sexy so perfect! I was a Poison lover for like 20 plus years! This perfume? Bumped my poison off the top of the list....and it’s gone I’m literally annoyed AF at Mugler/Loreal ...I’m dealing with dupe oil houses but no one can get this spot on. people said Linterdit Rouge is close? Nope!! I’m just tired of buying it overpriced on Mercari 😢 Grrr BRING THIS BACK!!!! And Mugler??! Pls buy your perfumes back!!! Loreal sucks with perfume!!!

Unusual, like an alien. Opening is very loud and sharp, definitely get the cinnamon and amber, maybe ginger but it’s more a general sharpness. There is no sweetness, you feel like you won’t be able to pull this scent off. After about 30 seconds it settles down and stays linear, don’t mind linear. To my nose the cinnamon is the most prominent. You continue getting the amber which it trying to warm it up but it stays distant, cold. I get powder and woodiness, it is also a very, very dry scent. A tiny bit of sweetness comes through from the vanilla and after hours of wear a bit of the bubblegum tuberose but I have to search for it. If I didn’t know it was in the notes I probably wouldn’t notice it. Projects and long lasting especially in hair, 12+ hours. Best in cool weather. Wore it once in the heat and it developed into a 1950s polyester slip grandma wore and donated to the op shop. If you were to take Obsession, get rid of all the sweetness and just let the cinnamon stay, it’s kind of like that. Also has an incense vibe. I picture being on a dry, red, cold, dusty distant planet in darkness, where there is the faintest glow of light. Mysterious and magnetic. ❤️👽🪐🪵🫚☄️❄️

My hate for Mugler/Loreal grows daily 😭 I just want my Alien Fusion back this perfume literally defines me warm and a bit spicy with a pure vanilla heart (not not sickly sweet nor gourmand thank god) .....they make a flanker that’s sucks yearly... just bring back fusion it’s the perfect constant companion to the OG alien!! For aesthetics alone? Mugler should keep fusion on the rotation!! If YSL Libre still makes most f its stupid flankers? As does My Way?? Why can’t you keep AF as a constant seller? Grrri have never been this upset about a discontinued fragrance 😔 I still can’t find a dupe for this and this has been my signature for the last three years but it’s getting harder to find old bottles! Seriously Mugler needs to take six months or once a year maybe for the holidays? and provide ALL the flankers that were a hit, and sell them again so people can stock up!! Thy keep releasing ones that suck The girl below? Is sooo wrong!!! It’s not sharp at all is warm and sexy and spicy,well blended and is even better with some summer heat! It tells you when you pass by? Come back.. and come in closer! Grrr 😡 I hate you Mugler

Hmm since this weird update on this page!? THEY DELETED my recent December or January review discussing how I mail Mugler as much as possible!? I get that flankers are imoortant to keep up with the times BUT when you have such a fan favorite? There needs to be an alien lineup!! Not a new one yearly!! It should be: original alien, fusion, goddess... period the end!! Mugler has nothing for us spicy cinnamon lovers and this was it!!?? So again, people if you miss it?? PLS KEEP WRITING TO MUGLER! I do so every six months I may add Loreal to the list to write to!!? Also if you know of anything 95% close?? Email me here 😭 or if you have excess of bottles email me... **it’s saying ALOT when this perfume knocked out my long term favorite (Poison been wearing every fall since I was 17 in 1987 ha) it’s literally my new favorite and then stopped 😭 I’ve never ever got mentholated NOR Grape lol no f way!, from this tuberose? As someone said below? To me? It’s so well blended!! The tuberose works with the spiced amber vanilla so that it almost does not feel floral! 💕 bring it back ha

i was a huge fan of the og alien, i literally finished the entire 60ml bottle within 2 weeks.. i’m not kidding LMAO 😂 i was looking forward to buying a second bottle, but i was more intrigued with the flankers. alien fusion caught my eyes the most, the notes and reviews of this were just so promising. but as always, this was another blind buy (covid 🥴). so i got the 30ml version, because i thought that was the smart move.. plus the teeny tiny bottle looks so adorable. but omg.. THIS IS AMAZING! WOW. i might like this more than the original. i agree with the reviews below me, there’s a gourmand twist going on here. it’s actually really yummy. it’s spicy, warm, and it still has the alien dna in here.. the jasmine is strong, just like the og one. it smells like a freshly baked cookie, that just came right out of the oven.. again, like mentioned in the previous reviews.. which is so so accurate. sillage and longevity are moderate on me. definitely a 10/10 from me. already in my favorites, and will probably stay there forever 😬😬

Alien DNA is in full force in Fushion with amber, orange blossom, and vanilla notes as only Mugler can do, and is easily recognizable. I could swear this was Alien - this is a tricker ! Soon came a soft cinnamon spice - not breathtaking and dominating , a zest of ginger- a nice zing to enliven the amber and vanilla syrup. The tuberose combined makes me envision a high end - if there is such a thing - perfumed bubble gum, dusted with a very fine and subdued flavored and scented cinnamon dust - almost candy like is the cinnamon, red but not red hot. My wishes are that this fragrance would have a stronger performance in throw / longevity of throw - louder in tuberose. More heated . I wanted this to be more of a heavy hitter. To knock me, and everyone in my wake over that it seemed to promise as I first spritzed. This is quieter than I would expect given the notes, being a flanker of Alien. I do reapply 2 - 3 times a day. I give the sillage 7/10 , the longevity 7/10 , though I do love the fragrance itself ever so much.

Lots of delicious OG Alien DNA with a little something extra. It isn't as syrup-sweet like the Goddess flanker line; similarly, it is a lot more nuanced than the jasmine-vanilla of the latter as well. Once Fusion dries down, the cinnamon and ginger give it a slightly powdery feel, which I think is a very welcome addition to the Alien line. It is so sad that this was such a short lived flanker because it is so unique, even with the references to the original. I don't think any companies are making flankers anymore and that is pretty tragic in its own right. If this fragrance were released today, I think it would do really well as it is in line with what is popular (sweet with white floral) without being samey. Don't they realize that the Mugler that pushed back against the mainstream sells as well as whatever jasmine syrup concoction they come up with? I know I sound like a broken record but it boggles the mind. It must just be so much cheaper to produce simpler things and convince folks they're good.

Wow, this is a beautiful bomb! I have to start by saying that my skin just seems to drink perfumes up. Whatever I apply, it's gone in no time. Even oriental (as in Arabic) perfumes do not stick to my skin. I was reading the reviews regarding Alien Fusion, which I had smelled before and knew I enjoyed, but had never sampled properly (wear test etc), so I was very happy to get it in a swap. I applied the tiniest spray at 9 AM today and it was radiating loudly and beautifully off my arm. It is now 17.15. Eight hours later and it's still going strong and it hasn't even become a skin scent yet. Rather, it dried down to a bit of a powdery, spicy yet "electric" blend. It is a bit of a winter perfume, at least for my standards, because the sweetness is quite strong in this one in spite of the fact it's not toothache in a bottle, and also it is very robust. To those in the comments who say this is a weak perfume: I don't know what you got or what happened there, but on me this is a monster performer.

Many people made up their minds about this fragrance because they thought it was released by loreal but apparently they took over in 2020 and this was released in 2019... so maybe consider that a lot of the hate is actually just misinformed judgement? OK. So in MY opinion...Fusion is the BOMB. It lasts forever. It doesn't give me a headache like the others. It's sexy AF. It does resemble some other fragrances with orange blossom..(in literally every perfume) but it is perfectly blended and unique..due to the spices and ginger. It's so so good. My favorite and only alien. Can be worn all year around but most seem to find it best in fall and winter. Did I say sexy AF. I first tried this at a modeling job and all the "boys" were crazy about it. Don't blind buy this expecting it to be a predominantly cinnamon or ginger fragrance. Those notes have been added to the original Alien DNA. You're still getting Alien. Just a version with some subtle spices and a fresh/youthful Tuberose.

I have not yet tried Alien, as the one sniff I had of it in store was not pleasing, but I love Alien Fusion. I find the initial spray to be very spicy and sharp. This is well-balanced by the floral notes, which smell reminiscent of honeysuckle to me. As the scent settles down, the vanilla scent comes out more. The projection is significant early on, but after a couple of hours it's more of a skin scent. I find the fragrance to be relaxing. It does have the feel of being related to perfumes worn by older ladies in the 90s, but that's never bothered me. ;) I always wear what makes me happy, even if the lady at the perfume counter says "No, that's an old-fashioned scent. Here, try this new perfume for young people." And I proceed to hate their recommendations and go back to my beloved spicy amber oriental types of perfumes. (I'm in my mid-30s anyways. An overly sweet floral isn't going to make me seem any younger.)

I was born and raised in the Middle East, where we rarely if ever have really cold weather, and with how popular Alien has always been there, it just doesn't make any sense to me to wear it (or any of its flankers with the exception of Essence Absolue) in cold weather at all. Cold weather brings out a harsh bitterness in Alien (and its flankers) that smells nauseating to me, but the hotter the weather and the skin, the softer and more buttery Alien becomes. I think Alien was definitely made with hot countries in mind. Alien Fusion is no exception. The spices remind me of the huge market back home, with its lively customers and sassy merchants, so it's a lovely addition to the strong Alien base, which I associate with hot nights and sun-kissed skin. I wish more people gave the Aliens a chance in hot weather, especially those who find them nauseating. They're way softer and kinder in the heat!

I got this for $40-$50 I like this one more than the regular Alien because it smells fresher and doesn't have that weird dirty element of the purple Alien. This has long longevity on me (but it does fade to a weaker scent). I like the regular Alien as well, but it is a harder reach for me than this one. I definitely notice the ginger/cinnamon/floral/amber notes. I do not notice the vanilla, and I am not sure I notice tuberose. I do notice orange blossom, though. I get the spices on me for the whole time I can smell this on me. It's been about 10 hours since I sprayed myself, and it is still there- just more faint now. edit: Ok I bumped this up to eternal because on me this lasts over 12 hours. I can still smell the floral of the original alien DNA with some vague spiciness to it. It smells like the purple alien, but fresher/cleaner still. I really love this one.

Mugler's scents have always been incredibly divisive, and for good reason. His are the kind that you have to let "grow" on you. This one did NOT have that effect on me. It is my absolute favorite flanker and my signature scent. I can say that I've never, ever tried an EDP formulation that lasts as long as Mugler's do, so that's a big up. The scent profile is dazzling. Yes, you can still smell the original Alien DNA in the dry down, so if you aren't a fan of the OG, you'll probably not be a fan of Fusion. I haven't smelled a cinnamon scent quite as dazzling. It's bold, it's appetizing, and it complements the softness of the vanilla and grape-iness of the Jasmine perfectly. USE SPARINGLY. I spray a spritz in each elbow and once on my neck and it's more than enough. Anything more and you risk giving yourself a headache. I do hope it stays in circulation for awhile.

This is an absolutely AMAZING rendition of Alien. I really enjoy the original, but I do find it to be too much at times - especially in the summer. It can easily choke you out with how cloying it can be. This flanker has a freshness thanks to the ginger, and a beautiful warmth with the cinnamon. The tuberose is creamy and heady, and the orange blossom adds a welcomed zest. I find this is so much sexier than the original Alien. Mugler's fragrances are of the only kind that smell the same going on as they do hours later. I just wish the cinnamon was a little bit stronger. The longevity is excellent, and I find that if worn in the summer the heat and sweat of the skin can turn this scent into a sex bomb. Once settled it gives off a bit of a gourmand feel. It's a very hot scent, something you would wear to seduce, to tease, to leave a memory of pure sex.

God I miss this scent so much, hoping Mugler eventually finds this page and looks at the reviews to see just how popular it was (lol please bring it back I'm begging you). Bought on a whim back in 2020 and managed to milk those 100 mls through to 2025 but have been looking for a replacement scent thats readily available that satisfies the same craving. Finally it appears this has come through in Hugo Boss The Scent Elixir for Her. While not identical, and though performance is not the same, its the closest I've ever come. Posting here as I know I combed these reviews looking for a dupe for years. Alien Fusion is that bitch, got me so many compliments and had this insane ability to drive men bonkers. Might consider layering The Scent Elixir with the original Alien in order to get that full hit in the future. Miss u alien come back gurl <3

I find it interesting that another user below mentioned Libre intense, because I get drifts here and there that remind me of Black Opium. Again, must be the orange blossom & vanilla... something reminiscent of the YSL greatest hits DNA.* Anyway, I do find this to be a bit more mass appealing than the original Alien. It’s quite similar, but imagine turning Alien down a notch or two and making the white florals calmer and creamier. The cinnamon and ginger in this are not very apparent but just a dash gives it a friendly & cozy feel. Edit: * okay, now I wore this again tonight and I’m an idiot; it totally reminds me of Libre, and now I can’t stop making the association! I also grabbed my old black opium and its just not it (hence why I’m an idiot), but giving myself the BOTD maybe I was thinking of the dry down.😅

This perfume (was) me in a bottle!! I can't believe it was discontinued, I was so upset (partly bc I found out only when I'd ran out!!) This is such a unique fragrance in the Alien universe!! It's so different from the "Normal" Alien and, in my opinion, MUCH nicer. The spices & ginger work so well with the florals, there's the hint of amber, and - wow - I am definitely not a perfume expert, but you can detect the change in the scent as the day/night wears on. It's just fantastic. Ok, I absolutely adore the new Alien Hypersense!! But I'd never wear the "standard" Alien, not after Alien Fusion & Hypersense. Alien Goddess is just the absolute polar opposite of these, and of course that's amazing for some... But I find that Alien Goddess is just more into the world of "Angel"... not for me.

my absolute favorite fragrance. the spiciness of the ginger/cinnamon mixed with the sweetness of vanilla is a perfect blend for my skin. it feels very sexy and full while not being overbearing or artificial. perfect for a fall night. i find that it lasts very well for me. the smell still lingers on my sheets and clothes the next morning and i have been told i leave a little trail wherever i go lol. i originally found it when i was in my mid to late teens and i was immediately obsessed with it but it didnt really work for me at the time. but now that im in my 20s, it's perfect and i hate that it was discontinued. i personally dont find it similar to any of mugler's other fragrances, as theyre more floral to me, i wish they would have kept this one.

If I had to chose one alien flanker, this would be mine. The last one produced by clarins. It is absolutely addicting. It’s no longer being made and I have been buying bottles of it online. As a huge fan of the original and OG formula of Alien, I find myself wearing this one more! You can smell the alien DNA in it for sure. But you’re initially hit with this wonderful deep spiciness that floats around with the tuberose, blossom, vanilla and amber with this beautiful dry down that has such a nice powdery like finish! I get so many compliments on it! The formula is very strong and has a longevity to it that you find in almost all clarins produced Mugler fragrances. A great scent for anyone in any age group.

Oh wow. This is BEAUTIFUL ! Much more gourmand than I expected and quite far from the usual Alien DNA; this smells like Princess by Kilian but spicier and better. It’s a delicious marshmallow scent generously topped with caramelized ginger sugar and accompanied with just the teeniest tiniest hint of cinnamon. You will absolutely smell like a bakery wearing this. Sillage seems good; I sprayed some on my arm and it projects really well. Longevity is as well, as it is an Alien flanker. Perfect for Fall and Winter :D Edit : After a few wearings, I must say that I do actually smell the alien DNA in this, but also caramel-y and chocolate-y undertones. Blind buy safe if you love gourmands and the og alien !

Wow I have yet to smell an Alien flanker that I do not like! Definitely getting a lot of Alien Essence Absolue vibes here. I don’t smell this “big red gum” scent people are talking about. This reminds me of Alien Essence Absolue with a slight cinnamon component. Definitely a Winter or Fall Scent I would wear this more at night. I have a sample of this, can wait to buy a bottle!! Hopefully the bottle smells the same as the sample as now I see someone here saying they detect a change in the newer bottles. I see this came out February 2019 and L’Oreal bought Mugler in October 2019 if I’m not mistaken. But anyway, gorgeous scent and if you love Alien, especially Essence Absolue, you will love this!

I was very silly and sold my sample of this without trying it. So, I blind bought and really like it. It smells like a slightly sweeter and spicier Alien EDP to me (which is already multifaceted to me) and the grapey-bubblegummy Tuberose stands out. I'm looking forward to see how the ambery drydown presents. Update 1 hour later: I love this. One spray is not overpowering. I can see this being a summer oriental or all year round. It's just so beautiful, with the slightly powdery amber drydown, extra helping of sweetness, and kiss of spice. Trust me, this is not a craft store cinnamon smell. This is really beautiful and melts into my skin (vanillas usually work on me).

Like others before me have stated, Alien Fusion is very similar to the OG (at least the Clarins version I own), but it's warmer and spicier because of the ginger and cinnamon. Not gourmand at all, just warmer. Although the neroli and tuberose replace the jasmine in the OG, the feeling is almost the same in effect, in that the flowers are indolic, bold, making a statement. I'd say this is easier to wear too. I love them both, but I find the OG is more difficult to wear, due to my perception of its elegance. I feel like I can only take it out in the world for very special occasions, whereas this one is more approachable and appropriate for casually going out.

Update 2025: soo I discovered this once it was already discontinued. I bought my first bottle in 22. That said I’ve been following fragrantica for 3 yrs now to see who says what is a dupe or similar to this?? And no one seems to post dupes for alien fusion just regular alien?? My life for past three years has literally been about buying scents in hopes to be finding a dupe! Ha I would say the closest? Is serge lutens 5 o clock Gingembre!! Has no floral but the spice of it is super similar! Sooo does anyone have a dupe for this!?? Inbox me!! And fans of this? Pls keep writing to Mugler! I write to them every six months begging for this one to come back!

I LOVE it! This was my very first Mugler perfume purchase. I was initially scared of Mugler perfumes but when I smelt Alien Fusion I fell in love with it immediately. I would describe it as a warm, spicy, comforting, floral. I enjoy the ginger and cinnamon in this perfume and though there is no jasmine, it has the Alien DNA but it's just more wearable. I also think it has a similar vibe to Azzaro Wanted Girl so if you like that or any of the Alien flankers you may like this too. From wearing Alien Fusion my appreciation for Mugler perfumes grew and now I own 12 Mugler perfumes, including backups. IMO Fusion can be worn all seasons and most occasions

Ordered a sample vial. Found my perfect holiday winter scent only to find it’s discontinued. The opening I get powdery candied berry, then panacotta and then I start detecting the spice notes, and an amazing honey wax note that seems slightly smoky in a light way like melting beeswax. The dry down is powdery cinnamon, wax and the alien dna. Ambers warm lightly cinnamon and a tad bit ginger only enough to balance that cinnamon note. That waxy note even comes off a tad bit leathery on me. Amazing! Warm, comforting and I hope they bring it back even as a holiday release. Not gonna pay the ridiculous prices re-sellers are asking.

Ok, I'm actually obsessed with this, I could even see this becoming my new signature. When I first smelled the normal Alien, I didn't love it. Later on I bought a 15ml bottle 'cause I just wanted it in my collection honestly, and florals were starting to grow on me. I heard that this is very much Alien but with more warmth and spice, and that fits perfectly. I absolutely love it. So far I considered Mon Guerlain my signature fragrance, but this one is for sure more day-to-day-wearable so I think it'll probably take that spot. Also, obviously, the perfume bottle is absolutely gorgeous. The most beautiful one I own by a mile.

I HATED this when I first sprayed it and got my first ever perfume headache. It's one of my all-time favourites now. Like other reviewers, I think this perfume really shines on hot hot days - it's funky and sexy and unique and complements the smell of skin and sweat, what can I say! Sillage is pretty strong and SUPER long-lasting so beware not to overspray. It's genuinely spicy (ginger/cinnamon) but don't be fooled into thinking this smells like holiday baking - I've never noticed vanilla. I'm going to have to discipline myself to not use it in the cold months, even though I love it, because it's so well suited to summer.

Very short review. Disclaimer: I adore Alien, for which reason I have many flankers. Received this today and spritzed it 17 hours ago. Still projecting (son in law asked me what I was wearing an hour or so ago, and that he loved it, but I admit to be an over-sprayer). He was over one metre from me, but downwind. This is a bloody gorgeous version of Alien. It's spicy, but an easy love for people who can't deal with the Oud version. Bloody good stuff. Anyone who says it has poor longevity suffers from nose-blindness or has an axe to grind. I can still smell it (and suffer from nose-blindness) 17 hours ago.

this bright red bottle is so gorgeous! on the first spray i get a soft cinnamon and ginger but then it slowly fades within 10 minutes. it then dries down to some amber with some sweetness. i'd say fusion is a more tolerable version of the OG alien. don't get me wrong, i like the OG alien (clarins formula) but i have to be in a certain mood to wear that one. sadly, the staying power of this is pretty weak. i have to reapply every 4 hours. maybe it'll perform better during the colder months. edit: this isn't for me. i liked it at first but it's just so underwhelming. i ended up selling.

Alien Fusion is so gorgeous. It's a sexy, spicy floral. The jasmine in this is beautiful. I find this to be in the same family as Rouge Malachite and The Only One Intense. It's not identical, but it's in the same white floral family to my nose. The OG Alien has never worked for me, but the flankers are a different story. Sadly, I believe this one and several other flankers are discontinued. If you find this and like warm, white florals I would recommend getting it. Performance is solid and the bottle itself is lovely. Longevity: 8.5/10 Projection: 8/10 Overall Experience: 9/10

Very nice scent. It is delicate, tender and feminine. I can't smell ginger and cinnamon (though I expected), but I smell an orange flower, amber and vanilla. Sweetish, but not sweet. Suitable for every day life. Sillage and longevity are so good, I can smell it for twenty four hours both on my skin and clothes. And I would like to mention a bottle. It's gorgeous! It reminds me of aliens from the movie "The Fifth Element" with Bruce Willis and Milla Jovovich. Though the fragrance is so beautiful, you may buy it for a bottle too. Yes, Mugler is extraordinary brand, I like it!

Thierry Mugler Alien Fusion, to my nose, is a bolder and more sophisticated interpretation of the original Alien. While the classic version is already iconic with its rich amber signature, Fusion elevates the experience to another level. The tuberose carries a slightly resinous, almost chewy texture that feels deeper and more intriguing. This is beautifully layered with spicy nuances of cinnamon and ginger, creating a warm, multifaceted scent profile that evolves gracefully on the skin. The composition feels more daring and refined, with every element perfectly balanced.

Just got this gem, wow I am really enjoying it. It’s a beautiful scent. Initially when I got the box was a little worried as all I could smell was a root beer/medicinal smell but when I actually sprayed I get marzipan, Jasmin and vanilla and the dry down is powdery like sugared almonds, yum! There is one very initial note that is a little harsher/ not as keen on, maybe it’s the ginger or cinnamon but it is not strong/ lasting so overall this is a love for me. Will def be keeping and finishing my bottle, which btw is a beautiful red ruby of a bottle ❤️

I think this is perhaps my favorite alien flanker I've smelled so far. I love the spices sprinkled on the top that give it a sweet warmness (It's certainly sweeter than the original). The longevity is a little bit shorter and it's a bit weaker than the original alien. I also found it to be very similar to the original alien (pre-L'oreal obviously). It really just smells like normal alien but a bit of gourmand (this is still not really gourmand at all) and a bit warmer. So sad it's discontinued and will never have more made.

THIS is my date night scent! My girlfriend absolutely loves it and so do I. It's an attention-getter - at dinner once, our waitress asked what I was wearing so she could get it for herself. The sillage is strong which makes it not an everyday scent for me as much as I wish I could wear this all the time. She's a ~special occasions~ kinda gal. One of the nice things about this though is that you need very few sprays to make an impact and for it to last for hours. Creamy, intoxicating, and warm! Alien Fusion is a favorite.

After testing a sample vial, I finally jumped at a full bottle. It's becoming very difficult to find. While the OG Alien proves too much for me to wear (although, I enjoy smelling it on others), this is a tame yet spicy version, which left me craving more and more. It lasts all day on me and smells incredible. It's the cinnamon that does it for me. It's creamy and cozy. This is the cinnamon accord I've been desiring (although, I wish it was even more potent) in a fragrance all along, and the bottle couldn't be prettier!

Love love love Alien Fusion! One of my favourites, similar to the Alien original but with a spicy twist that makes me fall in love with it, I’ve been wearing it for the past few days and have received compliments from family when travelling, it’s strong and it lasts. One for colder weather or evenings out, I bought it at a really cheap price from Debenhams that have now sold out, and so glad I made this impulse buy! - Edit: please bring this back 😭😭 I’m scared to use mine now

Smells a lot like the OG Alien but I like this one much more. I do get a tiny bit of cinnamon and can detect the ginger too. But compared to other scents I have tried with cinnamon notes, it is extremely subtle. A hint of spice rather than a blast of it. I enjoy this nonetheless, and that’s coming from someone who used to dislike Alien quite strongly. I can tolerate it much more now and am beginning to discover that I even love some of the flankers.

I have both the original alien fusion with the square top and the reformulation after loreal bought it. They are very similar but the square top lasts longer and just smells more rich. This is a spicy take on alien. In my opinion this version smells most like an actual alien would smell. It's really unique. I'd have to disagree about the "grapey" comment. I think this version smells the most like orange blossom and least like grape.
