Alien Goddess

Oh my God. I have finally found my signature fragrance. Alien Goddess is pure bliss. Absolute olfactory heaven. Masterpiece. I would never assume it was made in 2021 as it seems to belong to the era of intense and majestic high quality designer perfumes from my childhood (2000s) and reminds me of many wonderful, mystical things I smelled as a kid. Alas, there's no way for me to track them down now, seeing as I didn't know anything about perfume back then and hardly remember who or what smelled so appealing. Nevertheless, I found it all in Alien Goddess. I found everything I've always been looking for, both as a kid, fascinated by the wonderous world of perfumery, and as an adult desperately trying to find my perfect scent. In my childhood I always imagined that girls that smell this way are spoiled rotten by their men/families, always dressed to the nines, vacation in the best most secluded spots, never have problems in their love life, excel at the subject of etiquette, read sophisticated foreign books and have the most endearing smile. This is what happiness smelled like to me as a child. Being full of love and joy. On a few occasions when I was Christmas shopping with my mom, someone would pass by smelling of a similar perfume and I thought that it would make, like, the best gift from Santa ever. And now that I smelled Alien Goddess, I instantly recognized my scent of happiness in it. I've been on cloud nine ever since it touched my skin. Overall I'd say it takes the best out of 2000s perfumes and masterfully combines girlish naivete (like that of Juicy Couture) with refinedness of a lady (like that of D&G). It is sweet in the most sophisticated manner. There are many gorgeous, alluring sweet perfumes but this is one of the few that smell classy and luxurious as well. Very womanly but not matronly, very youthful but not juvenile, carefree yet not devoid of depth. Note-wise this is the very first perfume where one of my no go notes, bergamot, doesn't bother me at all, and nor does heliotrope. The latter I don't sense at all whereas the former plays a complementary role and doesn't interfere with the beauty of the composition by making it overly citrusy or bitter. It remains a sweet, creamy and cozy perfume with gourmand undertones - not totally edible but still unsuitable for those who are completely opposed to gourmands. It is also extremely well blended, there's a special sort of harmony about it, as if each note like a piece of the puzzle fits perfectly together and you no longer view them as separate pieces but as one complete picture. In this picture I see mystical otherworldly beauty, making the name of the fragrance very becoming. A scent from heavens above, it is. It starts off quite intense but while the perfume itself is long-lasting, that intensity is short-lived. By the end of the day it begins to show traces of the prickly and bitterish-woody Alien DNA which is an interesting twist given how it differs from Alien and how different it is in the beginning. I'd never call it boring or generic, but then again I'm not really into Mugler, and Alien Goddess not being your typical Mugler style was what initially caught my attention. I have seriously never in my life resonated with a fragrance more than I do with Alien Goddess. It's the scent of my soul. So comforting, so nourishing, so personal. In this very moment I feel like I want to wear it every day for the rest of my life, and while I certainly will crave other perfumes soon, Alien Goddess will become a staple in my collection, for I have never smelled anything more divine and closer to the elusive feeling of happiness.

Beachy, vanilla, powdery, coconut, white floral, woody, citrusy, musky, floral, radiant, feminine, sensual, seductive, charming, delightful, uplifting, alluring, tempting, addictive, inviting, cozy, comforting On me this opens with refreshing coconut water and radiant and tart bergamot. The heart blooms with lush jasmine and floral and vanilla-y heliotrope. The dry down grows more sensual with powdery bourbon vanilla and cozy and woody cashmeran. This definitely gives beachy vibes. Think of the warm sun on bare skin, a luxe coconut and vanilla sun tan lotion, a gentle salty ocean breeze carrying the scent of lush jasmine and citrusy bergamot, and cozy cashmeran. To me this feels feminine to me, and like it can easily suit women of all ages. I think this works best during the warmer weather of spring, summer, and early fall. I think it’s fitting for any occasion from casual to fancy, including work/school. I was very surprised to find this similar to Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid (one of my top favorites!), except minus the green banana note, and with additional coconut, jasmine, cashmeran, and a radiant citrusy bergamot. They both have this delightful powdery and airy vanilla to them, they’re both very summer-y scents, and both are easy reaches. I also get similarities to Beach Walk, Alien Goddess Intense, JHAG Vanilla Vibes, SDJ Rio Radiance/87, Nest Sunkissed Hibiscus, Tom Ford Soleil Blanc, and Valentino DBIR The Gold. I’m a huge fan of beachy/coconut scents, especially during the summer, and this is one of the best. This is especially good for those looking for luxe sun tan lotion scent.

The longevity is on the strong side as it lasts 7-8+ hours on my skin. The projection is between moderate and strong, it radiates out a few feet from me For reference, some of my other favorite vanillas besides what I’ve mentioned here include Kayali Yum Boujee Marshmallow, Vanilla 28, Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, The Wedding Silk Santal, Yum Pistachio Gelato, Kilian LDBS, Princess, GdT Celeste, Bianco Latte, PdM Oriana, Burberry Goddess, The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods, YSL Black Opium Le Parfum, Black Opium Glitter, Guerlain Mon Guerlain, JHAG Powder Love, Summer Fridays Sunlit Vanilla, LoveShackFancy Secret Crush, Vanilla Twirl, Ellis Brooklyn Marshmallows, Queen’s Caramel, Vanilla Salt, Phlur Honey Moon, Heavy Cream, Vanilla Nectar, SDJ Summer é Amor, 62, 39, VS Vanilla Lace, B&BW Beach Nights, Boardwalk Marshmallow Clouds, Cotton Candy Clouds, Fireside Flurries, Whipped Honey & Vanilla, Love Unleashed.

Beachy, sweet, vanilla, powdery, white floral, woody, citrusy, musky, floral, radiant, feminine, chic, sophisticated, sensual, seductive, flirty, charming, whimsical, delightful, alluring, addictive, inviting, cozy, comforting On me this opens with radiant and tart bergamot and tropical and refreshing coconut water. The heart blooms with lush jasmine and hazy, vanilla-like heliotrope. The dry down is where this really shines. It intertwines sensual and powdery bourbon vanilla and woody and cozy cashmeran. This is such a beautiful beachy, coconut, vanilla! It brings to mind long days spent on a tropical beach, warm Sun on bare skin, white sand and clear aqua water, with lush tropical flowers on a gentle ocean breeze. It also has just a touch of a luxe Sun tan lotion scent. It’s definitely full bottle worthy, and would make a lovely choice for a signature scent. I also consider it to be a safe blind buy. To me this feels very feminine, and suitable for women of all ages. This feels most wearable during the spring, summer, and fall because of the beachy feel, but it also has that cozy woody vanilla that makes it work in cooler weather. This feels most fitting for casual occasions, date nights, and work/school. I get great performance with Alien Goddess. The longevity is very good, at least 7-8 hours on my skin. The projection is moderate, it radiates out about an arm’s length from me.

Beautiful, Beachy, sweet, bright, fresh, luminous, radiant, floral, warm, woody, powdery, musky, feminine, sensual, flirty, chic, charming, uplifting, inviting, cozy, versatile On me this opens with tropical and refreshing coconut water, bright bergamot, and lush jasmine with soft whiffs of fresh heliotrope. Further into the dry down it warms up some with sweet and sensual bourbon vanilla, and cozy cashmeran. I do also notice just a very subtle Sun tan lotion like scent, but nothing too prominent at all. The notes that are the most prominent on me are the coconut water, jasmine, and bourbon vanilla, all which last well throughout the wear. I’m a huge fan of beachy/coconut fragrances, and own quite a few as part of my collection. I actually find this one to be somewhat unique because even though it has that beautiful beachy vibe it also has those lovely bourbon vanilla and cashmeran notes which add a really nice warmth and coziness to it. The combination makes this a fresh and beachy, yet warm and cozy scent. So, to me it’s a more versatile option that could even work nicely as a signature fragrance. This feels feminine to me, and like it can easily suit women of all ages. I do personally prefer wearing this the most during the spring and summer, summer, and early fall, but I think it really can work throughout the whole year. I think it’s suitable for pretty much all occasions including work and/or school. It’s also a pretty overall crowd pleasing fragrance that’s also non-offensive. I get great performance with Alien Goddess. The longevity is very good, it lasts the majority of the day on me. The projection is nice, it radiates out about 2-3 feet from me.

tldr; 3/5 basic but done so well ! beautiful scent that’s perfectly creamy, bright, sweet and warm in hot weather BUT has to macerate for better/average performance my first impression of this perfume was phenomenal, i sprayed around a spray or two on a tester sheet from sephora and had it in my wallet and not only was the smell so delectable that i would think about it often and open up my wallet to smell it again, the longevity was insane as it was still present for a bit over a month afterwards (all of june) the scent itself is THE scent of the summer imo. soft florals and coconut water give alien goddess an almost refreshing and bright profile but once it sits on the skin the vanilla in here gives the scent a creaminess that is warm and sweet that isn’t cloying in the hot summer weather. perfect for literally any summer activity whether you’re grabbing ice cream, going to the beach or having a bonfire the scent is versatile because it’s so linear. i can’t fully give this a 5/5 though more like a 3/5 (for now). idk if it’s because i got a new bottle but mugler the house that is known for longevity and projection has disappointed me because a fresh bottle doesn’t have those qualities. a new bottle barely projects and i can hardly smell this perfume a couple of hours in let alone at the end of the day. my body mist from walmart has better longevity and silage then this. i’ve tried everything i can layering wise to make alien goddess last and project better (body mist, body oil, vaseline, sunscreen and moisturized skin) but i think i just have to let this bottle sit to develop for a bit but that’s disappointing, i bought this to use for the summer and if i let it sit summers going to practically be over. in all honesty i don’t overspray this (4 sprays max) but i feel like if i did it would make a difference though not a big one. if you want to buy definitely buy and let this macerate a month or two in advance.
