Alien Liqueur de Parfum

Wow! I love Absolue and while similar, this has a richer, buttery scent. The dry down has these warm, creamy, buttery musk. I don't smell the jasmine sticking around as much as I do with Absolue. I think of a rich, vanilla bourbon. If anyone has ever tasted 43, a rich, smoky vanilla liquor, this smells how that tastes, with jasmine in the background. I can see a buttery rum vibe. It makes me very curious now about the 2009 version. I will edit this post if the dry down changes. But imagine Absolue drying down, but more buttery and rich. I will be sad if I can't find this in the future. But comforted that Absolue is similar, but I certainly will miss the warm, comforting booze. I can see this playing quite well with cocoa butter lotion...which I bought for Absolue. Edit: wow, I love this more than Absolue. Absolue doesn't have the depth or warmth. Maybe I'll change after the dry down but I don't see it right now. I still love Absolue but love this more because it lacks the "plastic" that Alien and Absolue seem to possess. I never noticed it before. The otherworldly jasmine is in the background with this one, in the middle with Absolue, and in front with Alien. Edit again, 6 hours later: Absolue has a tinge more of the Jassy sharpness but the dry down is similar with the Liqueur is warmer. Absolue carries more sweetness while this carries richness. It took Absolue to get there faster than Liqueur. Love so much, I ordered a backup. Last edit tonight.. Liqueur takes long to have the dry settled, baeutiful dry down. It is, to me, more of a boozy, soft, envious stroll. While this and Absolue are similar, this is Asolue kissed by a midnight, warmly scented cocktail. I had a friend who got a divorce and called me over in tears.. She was wore Shalimar. But that night, she got herself blitzed with Amaretto Disaronna. Like her breath fumes mixed with her perfume. I think she sprayed more after putting on what was now, smeared lipstick. The heady perfume and this sweetness was her scent...a beaughtiful, sad girl. . This beautiful, sensuous, drunk lady. We've all either been there, are are extremely lucky, or maybe, not remembering. But when we are opposite, warm, inviting...we Menotti share with our friends. This is like Absolue was happy and got drunk. On something buttery, rich and warming. Like I would picture my beaughtiful friend gets indulged some on vanilla rummy sipping concoction, with its scent mixing with Absolue. Waiting For a warm embrace. And I doubt she would call a friend at that moment.

It's really a shame that Mugler doesn't do flanker lines like Liqueurs de Parfum anymore. Both Angel and Alien from this collection are wonderful. I have had this Alien for several years and just bought the Angel a couple of months ago. They're getting hard to find and expensive, but if you spot them at a semi-decent price and know the original pillar fragrances, they are safe blind-buys. This is unmistakably an Alien flanker, but all the cool, hard edges of the original are softened and warmed up, without making the fragrance any weaker. It's similar to Essence Absolue in that regard, but they are different enough to own both. You can still smell Alien's signature blend of abstract, otherworldly fantasy jasmine and golden amber. The added notes of almond and cashmeran make the scent creamier. The further it dries down, the more of the gourmand almond tones are detactable. True to its name this also has a boozy facet, reminiscent of rum, but also amaretto. I get more "liqueur" from this one than from Angel Liqueur. I think this is a very glamorous scent, perfect for evening use, but not limited to that. The booziness makes it a little less cuddly and more lively than Essence Absolue, but due to the sweet creaminess it still feels cocooning and warm.

This is about the 2013 version. This is Beautiful ( yes, with the capital letter)- very sophisticated, golden, carefully and attentively made with love and special attitude. Very, very, very long lasting. The opening is like the regular Alien, but sweeter, thicker, more golden, more rounded. Like opened arms waiting to embrace you. Then comes something slightly alcoholic, woody, still warm, cozy with a hint of something comforting masculine. The regular Alien vibe is still here -recognizable, but not dominant. The scent has embraced you, now it keeps you tight against it's "body" and whispers in your ear how beautiful and wonderful you are. On the box, I red the scent has been aged in toasted oak casks, and I can really feel that aromatic, woody, sensual note, I've discovered only here. And the base- a wonderful, deep,oily, mysterious (again- it's the regular Alien vibe, warm and refreshing in the same time) potion. The perfume develops a very special, close relationship with you - now and forever. When I wear it, I feel beautiful and special (even if I'm wearing my nightgown) and safe. Safe, protected.. like every woman wants to be. Safe together with her beloved. That's the perfume!

I found this on eBay without the box and at a great price. For some time I've wanted to try this so I snatched it up. So happy I did because I love it! It starts off as a beautiful rummy Jasmine I can even smell that cherry almond scent you get from almonds so yummy! I also get some other floral and some amber for sure. Finally the dry down which takes forever to get to but so worth it is this thick golden cherry almond woody delight. It had a touch of jasmine. Its sublime so gorgeous I love it so much I found an 09 bottle of this or the first Alien LDP and I hope they come out with another version of this it would be great if there was a permanent rummy Alien flanker. I know I'd buy it :) This juice is wonderful it lasts for almost a day. This perfume is super strong and has excellent sillage which I like in my scents. I'm glad I have absolue for daily use but I do hope a permanent boozy alien will come in my lifetime. A girl can dream anyway if you can get your hands on it I recommend it. It is a lovely fragrance that I cannot stop sniffing if you wear og Alien and absolute you will most probably love this as well.

This was a blind buy, I initially thought I bought the other Alien liquer. Why on earth give two different version the same name? Well, anyway, just as well I made that mistake or I might have missed it entirely! This is very delicious and mmmmmmmmmm... The opening is pretty masculine on my skin (I do love unisex'ish perfumes though!). My boyfriend thought it was very motherly. I don't know about that, but I do know I find it quite mature and heavy. I was a bit disappointed at first, thinking I should have bought a big bottle of alien absolute instead of this one, but it has grown on me and once it settles a bit it does have a little more "omph" to it than absolute. They are quite similar, but there they do NOT smell the same. This one is more complex, more flowery and woody than absolute which I find to be creamier and heavy on the vanilla. I think I'll need a proper bottle of both of them, they are so delicious in their own unique way!
