Alien Liqueur de Parfum 2009

Torn between the Alien flankers "Taste of Fragrance" and "Liqueur de Parfum" I ordered both and will review them both here! I figured I love Alien EdP so much and as these are Limited Edition EdP I better purchase them before they both disappear. First I ordered the "Taste of Fragrance" and fell in love instantly! The original Alien was still there, though as if it had been dipped in warm, gooey caramel and covered in sea salt. If you have ever tried Starbucks' "Salted Caramel Mocha" then you know exactly how it smells! When the SB barista explained that the sea salt actually made the mocha and caramel sweeter in contrast it sounded funny until I tried it and then I completely understood! This is exactly the same with ToF! The florals are there until the end, from first spritz until several hours later when they finally take a seat for the soft, chilled caramel dry down. It basically took the original Alien and made it more innocent and approachable. The sillage and lasting power of this is equal to the original EdP 10/10, especially on clothing! Next, I ordered "Liqueur de Parfum" and was unsure what to expect. I was a bartender for years and the LAST thing I wanted to do was walk around in Florida's heat smelling of a bottle of rum! After lots of inner debate on whether to try it or to order a second bottle of ToF I gave in to curiosity. Luckily, this cat didn't get killed! Upon first spritz (and myself being over-eager) it was rum overload! I'm talking a straight kick to the nose by Captain Morgan Spiced Rum! In disbelief, I sniffed it again 10 seconds later and it was gone already. Behind the rum top note was again my original Alien, this time deeper, darker, and also gourmand. The beautiful flowers were not destroyed in the aging process after all but elegantly matured. There is a slight spice to it and it is indeed refreshing but no one would associate it with rum unless you told them what it is. Again, sillage and lasting power are a 10/10. Overall, I love them both very much and if I had to choose only one I wouldn't be able to! It makes me sad that they won't be around forever, but knowing Thierry Mugler, he will be sure to win over my heart in his upcoming releases!

Let me answer this for you: YES YES YES BUY IT! EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO STARVE FOR A WEEK, GET YOUR HANDS ON IT! Age: 25 Skin: normal-oily. Medium brown. Preferences: Fruity, vanilla, watery, sweet, citrus, woody Perfume nose: amateur Current season here: winter best season Colder seasons day/night- Afternoon/Early evening the age of the woman who wears it- 24-40 the persona of the woman who wears it confident, je nais se quoi, alluring I cannot draw any similarities between "taste of" and "liquer" they definitely have their own special aspects. The first hit is woody spicy, slightly very very slightly boozy in the first few seconds. Then it settles into this very beautiful deep dark sensual woody fragrance. the jasmine is not so in your face but it combines so well with the rum. it is such a beautiful scent that lasts a very long time. The original note pyramid is exactly how it accentuates on my skin this perfume is not boring and on the drydown you get this lovely woody slightly spicy rum flower. Guys i have tried this on my partner this is definitely a sexy guy scent too This is for a confident woman who does not necessarily have to be bold and in your face, she has something about her that is attractive yet no one can quite figure out what it is "there is just something about her" She is alluring and men may get caught up in her sultriness as this doesnt scream sex is rather "hints" and plays with the idea of sensuality. Definitely not a casual scent and not an everyday scent. it is a semi-formal scent dinner, date, a few cocktails, a meet up. definitely a good scent to go with blacks, navy blues, and tailored clothing.

I absolutely love Alien Liquer de Parfum...it's one of my all time favorite scents, if not my number one favourite. It is creamier and more intense than the original, while retaining the uniqueness of the Alien concept. I would also say it is more well-rounded, with the notes balancing each other out nicely. Alien Liquer is all about the intense solar-jasmine accord that is simultaneously in-your-face and mysterious, deepened by woods and rum. When I first spray this, I get warm spices and a bit of sharp booziness. It starts off sweet with the rum note in combination with the signature "solar" accord that makes Alien so distinctive. It gets progressively warmer as the jasmine and amber intensify, and the rum note fades into the background. I get a hint of rich almonds, which makes this scent even more luscious and buttery-thick than the original. The drydown is an amazingly heady, dry, sexy, woody-amber-jasmine scent. I would describe it as bold, mysterious, eccentric and sensual. This is a thoroughly intoxicating statement-maker; it is not a scent to wear when you want to blend in. The lasting power and projection are amazing. One or two sprays of this lasts all day on me. People tell me I smell "delicious" when I wear this scent. It is also housed in one of the most gorgeous, intriguing bottles I've seen.

Edit: 6/22/25 purchased the 2009 Alien LDP- very close to the creation 2013! Go with whichever is less expensive! Edit: 5/2025. I saved 10ml and sold the 30ml of my 2013 ALdP it’s a delicious almondy gourmand version of Alien’s bombastic Jasmine amber. I miss it and regret the sale. Btw: AToF was a total let down. Should have been more gourmand when it’s was a loud, headache inducing Jasmine. Maybe I got a bad bottle but awful and nothing like my beloved AEA. I’m updating because I found a 2009 bottle of ALdP for a great price and I will update this review comparing the 2009 original with the creation 2013 ALdP when it arrives. I found some on eBay- can anyone confirm: the 2013 version is in the Gold bottle and the 2009 in a clear bottle that looks identical to Alien TToF? Thanks! I just won a bid for the 2013 version of this for a fair price. I love AEA and I’m hoping I love this one as well- knowing myself, I’m pretty sure I will and I hear TToF is more similar to AEA than Liqueur Du Parfum.

Oh, how I do love this one!!! This is like the original Alien went to a high class bar in her best outfit matched with killer heels and a VERY expensive clutch under her arm. And what does she order to drink? The most refined, superb Rum on offer. All on another planet, and possibly in another Galaxy. This has all the original Alien notes teamed with beautiful Rum and roasted Almonds - and there are some gorgeous dark, woody notes in there too once it's had time to dry down. It is just exquisite in every way, and in true Mugler fashion - a couple of spritz's will last you all day (and night) and seduce everyone else around you as well. The original Alien is what I'd deem as sex in a bottle - where as this one takes it a step further than that. This beauty, like it's mother, abducted me without any sort of fight or struggle...I happily went with them! THANK YOU to the beautiful Fragrantician who sent me this decant, it is literally out of this world ♥
