Alien Oud Majestueux

Oud Majestueux is the realization of the golden-gowned Alien that the first Alien EDP hinted at. While the original is a magnificent and larger-than-life perfume, Oud Majestueux brings a different, greater opulence that really gives the impression of luxurious golden robe. It is a special perfume, and I like it even better than Alien Essence Absolue, which is another stunner. Essence Absolue pushes Alien too far into sweet/smooth/resinous territory at times, and loses needed contrast. That said, it is still a keeper. Grab Oud Majestueux while you can, and before L'Oreal neuters it. I'll walk you through the Oud Majestueux experience: the first spray reveals Alien's cosmic jasmine, as well as syrupy vanilla'd amber and a distinctly barn-yardy oud. Yes, this oud is a little dirty, and if you hate oud, you will not enjoy this phase. But this oud is not overbearingly skanky, and it relaxes as the scent dries. The next stage introduces a deliciously tangy cardamom, which, when combined with the vanillic tones in the amber, sometimes makes Oud Majestueux a little foodie at times. The saffron also fully asserts itself, bolstering the sharpness of the oud and cardamom, and bringing out the contrast between classic and smooth Alien jasmine-cashmere and the oriental notes. In the drydown, much of the heavier cashmere and sweetness evaporate, and a delicate, dry, clean, and elegant oud predominates. It is balanced with a soft dose of absolutely gorgeous jasmine and saffron. This is NOT just a lazy flanker of Alien EDP with oud haphazardly thrown on top. Oud Majestueux is a reinterpretation of Alien, designed with Eastern tastes in mind, that features oud as a prominent note. Also, this Alien is much more similar to older formulations, not the terrible soapy beast of the most recent reformulation. It is just as strong as old Alien. Two sprays filled a room, and I go noseblind quickly.

So listen... Coming across something like this takes all the discretions it is out there to be advised. I always like to Interpret her as the untamed, less domesticated version of the original almighty miss Alien, where her nails are longer and more serrated, the extraterrestrial wildlife scarring patterns are more prominent on her skin, has toned limbs and sharper fangs, is malefically alert and ornery and if you just decided to dislike her due to your weak visceral reactions, just know she wasn't there to take that kindly to you as a Homosapien anyways... It opens up with one of the loudest ouds I've ever smelled in perfumery. some say barnyard.. I mean sure, but I say as rotten & forsaken as a paleontological rune you salvage from the deepest parts of the terrain. it sets off into a Jasmine that's as heady and unapologetically screechy as it gets, all under a heavy residue of an ancient amber. The experience is like touching a damp, semi greasy swollen wood while biting and tasting copper as you smell an unknown genus of flower. I mean it's sumptuous! ...In an intimidatingly exotic, raunchy & primally suggestive type of way... & as long as you decide to partake in the role, just know It goes purrrfectly with wild cat's printed fabrics, feather earrings & exotic stone pendants from lands far far away, Khaki, Earthy & every shade there is out there of the color brown. Oh & by the way... there's no possible way you can convince me that Santanico Pandemonium doesn't smell like this as she walks on the the scene in From Dusk till Dawn!

So I'm still a relative novice, and with a lot of these really popular or well-known notes, I have no idea what they smell like. But as soon as I smelled this, I thought, "Oh! THAT'S oud!" My aunt is from the Middle East, and one of my favorite people in the world. Visits with her always involved pajama parties, living room dance parties, makeovers, etc. She's the one who told me I have cool-toned skin when we were trying on hijabs, and she taught me how to wing my eyeliner. And apparently, the scent she always wears is oud-heavy, because this immediately made me think of her. So it definitely has a pleasing, nostalgic feeling associated with it. Objectively, I feel like oud is probably one of those notes that can either be super awesome or super horrible, depending on your skin chemistry and the fragrance formulation. On me, this scent is utterly gorgeous. And it smells just like Alien, which I love, with oud added, which I now love. Also, being a fan of cashmeran and amber, this is heaven in a bottle. Easier to wear than the original Alien, but still dark and deep and heavy. Luscious and sensuous. I have four sample bottles, because I cannot get a full-sized one at the moment. But as soon as I can get my hands on a full bottle, this very well might become my new signature.

My first introduction to oud years ago! I was warned that this was a challenging scent. This, coupled with the fact it was discontinued and I love Alien was enough to make me hunt it down and blind buy. I'm a sucker for a flanker of classic fragrance that's "this, now with Oud!" such as Roja Dove's Enigma Aoud. This truly feels like a scent that isn't for humans, but for some fantastical, regal being. In true Mugler fragrance fashion, it walks that line between intense, hypnotic, simplistic, challenging, other-worldliness and wearability. Because it's still simple in note composition, The cold feeling from Alien is still present here. The intensity of the oud I don't find challenging personally, but I am an oud lover. The synthetic-ness of the oud is obvious even if you're inexperienced with it but it matches the synthetic feel of all the other notes seamlessly. This is a heavy hitter, with strong performance and designed to stand out. I find it extremely formal, not exactly fun-loving, inviting or flirty. It is however even more entrancing than the og Alien. It's regal and almost stoic. Good for special occasions year-round.

Oh my goodness! I got this bottle on sale a couple of years ago, during COVID lockdown as I was sooo curious about the scent of oud. At first spray I got what many are complaining about, a weird scent and I wasn’t sure oud was for me. It definitely gave off middle eastern vibes, got camel shed vibes. Oud is a special scent and I guess you love it or you hate it. I put it back, didn’t test again until months later, still found it a bit odd, and just now I grabbed the bottle again, as I was thinking maybe I should sell it. I sprayed it on lightly on my underarm and all I could get out was WOW! WOW! WOW! Maybe this has to sit a bit or maybe I am a hoarder that doesn’t want to sell any of her fragrances, but this became an instant love and the weirdest thing: it’s summer! I am keeping this for now as I would love to see what this does in autumn and winter. It’s really beautiful, intoxicating, with still some clean vibes to it too, it’s really a special fragrance and not like anything I own. For anybody who did not like it, you might want to try again, as I did not see this coming, but I am definitely keeping this one!

This perfume is EXCELLENT. The oud is a touch stinky/dirty on me on the initial opening but it's not terribly off putting. That disappears in a few minutes and it becomes a nice warm oud with a lot of delicious spice over top of the base of alien. It's warm and decadent but not in a gourmand/sweet way. There is a touch of sweetness in this fragrance but not anything close to Essence Absolue. I also have Musc Mysterieux and I think I like this one a touch more. MM is colder and feels a little 80s throwback with all of the Musk but is still really pretty. I just like the warmth in this version more and I think the spice blends in nicely with the oud here whereas the spice and musk in MM are less well blended. I can't wait to wear this in the winter! Bonus, the bottle is stunning.

One of the best jasmine scent I've ever came across! Alien Oud Majestueux (AOM) is a jasmine scent first & foremost that's mildly sweet, with a hint of incense-like woodiness that could easily be due to cashmeran. It has an Arabic vibe to it, as if it's from 1001 Nights. I can not detect a noticeable oud note here. There is the vibe I mentioned but no clear smell of oud. This is a trend I've noticed on Fragrantica. People tend to vote oud very highly on the notes pyramid even if it's not noticeable & I can say this confidently because I've owned & used many Arabic oud fragrances, including pure oud oils & oud wood (bakhoor/incense). Nonetheless, AOM is a fantastic jasmine scent that is mature & elegant as if it was Meryl Streep's personality in a bottle. Love it!

I'm on a Mugler fase and I came across Alien Oud Majestueux recently, so I pulled the trigger and I was once again riding the blind buy train. I can't really smell the type of Oud I'm used to, or at least the one I know from other Oud scents in my collection. Probably this is the more "western friendly" type of oud, like someone wrote before, but I was hoping for a really strong oud note in this. I'm not saying I'm disappointed, is a fantastic creation from Mugler, but maybe my imagination was too far away from what I could get. Am I the only one? Is my nose oud-anosmic? There is certainly a spiciness to this flanker (Saffron probably) and that makes this Alien one with an Oriental twist for sure, but not much oud to my nose. This is a love anyway.

I ordered this with some trepidation considering its high price tag and my inability to obtain a sample. The reviews here encouraged me, and the original Alien is a huge love, so I took the plunge. I got my package and tore into it with glee only to realize--it was someone else's order! My heart sank. It took muglerusa.com almost a week to rectify the situation. Fortunately, the juice was worth the wait.....lovely warm smoky spicy ambery jasmine. After a few wearings, I did notice a sort of pervasive testosterone sweat vibe that bothered me a bit; undeterred, I kept trying it, telling myself that was probably the oud. Now it just smells all around wonderful. Glad I persisted with it.

I have to add my two penn'orth. I think that - if you are used to oud in perfume - you will not find it to be an overwhelming note in this version of Alien. I have and love a number of Alien iterations, including the original; oud here adds depth to an already wonderful fragrance. The sillage and longevity of this are fairly monstrous though (greater than the original, I think), so take care not to do overdo as it will be TOO MUCH for you and any unfortunate bystanders. Two sprays (neck and once on wrists, rubbed together) maximum should do it.

The perfume that smells like confidence and love in the same bottle. This one and essence absolue are my favourites from this range. I received a ton of compliments while wearing this one. Lasts a very very very long time, smells gorgeous. Might be a little more on the masculine side than essence absolue as it’s not that sweet. I love this one. I wore it in autumn and winter, maybe for summer it’s a little too much to wear. Try if before buying as it’s scent it’s not so common. For me it’s love at first smell 😄

Absolutely a masterpiece! If you love alien and oud, check this one out. It is exactly as it says: alien mixed with oud. It is beautifully blended. Definitely a safe blind buy for me! It is the perfect oriental alien, a true masterpiece. I bought the Musc one to compare it, but I love this one more. The musc one smells more animalic and is more masculine and stronger. This one is definitely unisex as well!! Great longevity and great sillage :)

😭 I will never ever get over this Alien flanker. Never. As a huge fan of an old original Alien, like 8 yrs ago I bought Oud Majestueux(as a fan of oud note) and it was perfection. Alien with Middle East vibe. Wow.💓 Blended to the perfection. Enormous projection ,longevity 12 hrs +,especially in summer. And big compliment getter. Still hoping that I will have it one day again in my hands.💔

Very clear almost crunchy and unsweetened amber overlaying the strong jasmine like plates of amber coloured crystal armour. Around our warriors neck is draped a very dark and fluffy black oud mohair cape. She’s off ready to wage slow war. Really interesting multi-layered scent. No barnyard at all. But the opposing textures in this fragrance make you want more. Backup bottle worthy

I gave up on trying Mugler fragrances, But!! Once I gave this one a try,,, OMG, this one is alien plus the luxuriousness of oud, so sensual so vampy so elegant and warm fragrance my first hit for bugler fragrances,,, absolutely a winter fragrance, and on the heavy side for sure! not for day-to-day use!! but for a special occasion! Edit 24/3/2018: somehow I find it mature scent!

Very spicy warm version of alien. It should be noted like others have said, this is more of oud with a touch of alien in it. The oud in this is VERY strong, and I don’t consider this a safe blind buy unless you know what oud smells like. Personally, I don’t get any barnyard smell/foul odor from this oud. To me, it smells spicy and potent. Recommend if you like alien.

I can say that this is my nr.1 version of Alien. I have the musc version and I love it but this is out of this world. If u overspray u ll smell dirty but sprayed responsible is amazing, power lasting 10++++. For me, this is a masterpiece. Bold, unique, strong, smbdy told me this is what a diva would wear😅 for some it can be an overwhelming scent

This beautiful jasmine sweet oud is so dark and mysterious and intoxicating. It's like you cover yourself with a sweet oud honey jasmine syrup. It's so dense and thick. But be warned, i used 1 spray, and that one spray lasted for 6 days on my jacket. It's so special, i have never smelled anything like this. It's dark, it's heavy, it's rich.

This perfume is pure luxury! A trail that is powerful and penetrating,unforgettable,luxurious... for me this is a very refined fragrance,can stand out, know how to stand out with its power and magnificence! Very beautiful and unique! Sillage: 9./10 Longevity: 10./10 Scent: 8.5/10 Overall: 8.5 / 10

Omg, do I finally like it? I DO! I've blind-bought it, had it for years, nearly sold it twice, tried it a handful of times and just couldn't get accustomed to it but... Today? Today's a good day. I'm successfully wearing this razor sharp bad bitch and I don't have a migraine. 😍

Bought this for my wife and I love the smell of it on her. She has been wearing it all summer and autumn and has received many many compliments. I hated the smell of the original Alien on her and I don't think that they are similar.

It's funny how much I disliked Alien the first time I tested it and now I own and love it, as well as several of its flankers. This particular flanker is wonderful. Creamy oud that makes me happy when I wear it.

This is an amazing flanker! It's like the original Alien but warmer, more sensual and more oriental thanks to the combo spices/oud. Perfect for colder months. Great lasting power and sillage. Sexy.

I belong to the crowd that love this one. Oud is the prominent note with a slight of jasmine and saffron. I can se the similarities with Xerjoffs Al-Khatt, but much lighter and smoother version.

To me it is a true unisex, as it has heavier and have masculine touch of woodsy notes. It is like true Alien Man with original jasmine, amber Alien DNA. Close to niche.

I love this perfume but it's too close to the original for me to justify a full bottle purchase. I going to layer the original with an Oud attar to get this effect.

It’s Alien plus Oud and it is great! The oud is fantastic. Slightly barnyard Oud but great! I’m not getting too much of the other notes. I LOOOOOOOVE it!

I bought a tester vial and ive been using it very sparingly. Smells like the most expensive & luxurious dark fragrance I own. I wore this to prom too!

Captivating, unique, one of the very few designer fragrances that smells like a niche fragrance. I’m so happy I could snag a bottle

Hey everyone! Where can I buy alien oud? My bottle is almost finished and I don't have a backup 😭😭😭😭😭😭 please help!

Loooove it! Same as the original Alien with an added touch of dark wood/smoke. Plus the bottle is gorgeous!

أجمل عطر كل مخلص عندي رجعت اشتريه، صار الناس يميزون العطر مني 🤎🤎🤎

Smells great, very long lasting. My signature scent. Love it!

Simply DIVINE 💛💛💛💛 I wish i had purchased 2 bottles 😔

There was a great sale on it in the duty free shop in London airport. I tested it there and liked it very much to the point of wanting to buy it right on the spot. But since I never before tried any fragrance with oud I just wanted to consider this scent a little bit longer than 5 minutes... Too bad I had a short connection and had to continue with my flight while still pondering if I should buy this or not. People say in reviews a lot that fragrances with oud are tricky and not for everybody, so I was cautious waiting for something weird in the development. But later on I regretted not taking a chance and buying this beautiful fragrance at an unbeatable price. It was amazing and strong on the initial spritz, the dry down was smooth, warm and woody, and the longevity was impressive as well. At least now I know that I like the oud note. At least in this particular fragrance. And it is true that it's a twin of original Alien. I don't own Alien, so this can be a more woody substitute which I would prefer to the original. You probably don't need both of them in the collection.

This is a masterpiece for true art enthusiasts. It smells like a museum. It has a very expensive and "do not touch" kind of vibe. Freshly cleaned, lacquered wooden floors. Ancient leftovers from the past. A dusty mummy. Some dinosaur bones. Crumbling papers. Broken clay pieces. Echoing silence through the halls. I truly adore this piece, but I'm having a hard time finding an appropriate occasion to wear it. I can't wear this to uni. I can't wear this on a date. I can't wear this for lunch. I can't wear this for parties. The only time I can wear it is in the solitude of my home, and it's a big shame. So in essence, it smells like a museum, and behaves like an exponent. It will be presenting itself in all glory on the most luxurious spot in my collection, not ever being approached, and only admired from a distance. One of my most dear perfume pieces, but hardly usable. In comparison to Alien Musc Mysterieux, I don't regret owning both. They are different enough to be admired each for its own atmosphere.

WOW this is STRONG! I do *not* get those tops notes of cardamom or saffron listed here. It's like OG Alien but volume cranked up to 11. It comes out swinging immediately. I get a blast of wet decaying wood, jasmine and amber. It's got a really strong, pissy ammonia smell. (Which is to be expected with indolic, amber frags- I am not complaining.) This is just so concentrated that it takes me aback and I feel I need a little 'less'. One spritz has my nose scrunching and my sinuses puckering. I'm just astounded by how powerful this is. I gotta stand outside and let the breeze blow some of this off lol. Mugler always wows me. Even if i don't "love it at first sniff" it is always intriguing enough to keep drawing me back.

Skanky, gentle and feminine at the same time. This is almost like the continuation of the anticipation that Alien builds up. The soft and powdery jasmine emerges very conspicuously through the animalic Oud accord. This scent is very spicy and far more polarising than the original alien. I enjoy it but I prefer the woodiness of the original. The Oud is quite balsamic (similar to Mizensir perfect Oud) and I prefer the barnyard variety. I can’t really detect the individual saffron and cardamom notes, but there is a sweet herbaceous quality to the fragrance. The Oud is just so present. The projection and longevity are a far cry, this is more of a moderate performer. A disappointing derivative of a truly majestic scent.

I'll write my second review on this. Now that I've worn it in the fall, I've had a really different experience with it than in the summer when I tried it for the first time. In cooler weather, I really love this perfume. It's true that it's very reminiscent of the original Alien, but I definitely can smell the oud too, in fact I think it's blended really well. I find the Oud is more present at the opening, and the dry down is very similar to Alien, though I stiff get whiffs of the Oud. This is strong stuff. It lasts all day and lingers on clothing for days afterwards. I prefer this to the original Alien. I somehow find it less offensive, maybe less sweet, a little more sophisticated and mysterious.

It took me some time before I could understand this mugler. I started to think I was surprisingly weak and uninteresting. What a shame. BUT it was a big mistake. It is long, beautiful and not weak at all. I could compare this with the first impression of escentric escentric 2: where are you? Then appears a divine cosy floated wood fragrance, firmly settled on my skin, heady, deep, wonderful. If I lay a tiny drop on my elbow in the evening, it is still there, mellowed with my dreams when I wake up. I won’t disturb anybody around, but it will give me a sort of secret enigmatic happiness. This not for sure the spicy wood we are use to find with oud! The theme is much better here. Love.

A woody, resinous, warm oriental interpretation with a hint of spice. Jasmine drifts softly in an oriental veil. The composition is well-blended, smooth, and harmonious. While it evokes exoticism, I find it most enchanting in a cold, wintery atmosphere. Longevity is very good; sillage starts pronounced but gradually softens to an intimate trail, remaining perceptible throughout the day. The flacon is a masterpiece—its color palette is stunning and perfectly reflects the nature of this Alien version.

This is what the original Alien should've smelled like! I am a fan of the pre-formulated version of Alien but this flanker is on another level. It is absolutely gorgeous! Extremely sexy and confidence boosting, you have to wanna stand out. I definitely smell jasmine BUT oud definitely steals the show in this one. It's definitely best for dry cold weather and more of a night time scent.

I love Alien so i thought i will love this too, tried this today and i have to say i don't like it much, maybe oud is not my scent but after 6 hours on my skin is good and kinda like it then. The lasting power is great like all Mugler perfumes. The bottle is gorgeous too, i wanted to love this so badly i even almost blind buy it. 7/10

I don't know why I do this to myself. I smell a perfume. I like it. I read the notes. It has Jasmine (which I absolutely HATE). I buy it anyways. Two years later, still struggling to finish the damn 90ml. I adore Alien, and this Oud twist is beautiful but sometimes suffocating due to my hate towards Jasmine.

It's definitely a beauty. Where there's oud, there's smoke ;) And this scent is a scent the is surrounded by a veil of smoke and precious notes of warm wood and that distinct smell of amber.... The scent is still warm on the skin thanks to the cardamom and yields a beautiful yet soft woody floral aura.

So to me this smells literally like Alien with oud thrown in, and it works beautifully - gives a depth and a grit to the original alien that I really enjoy. Can't figure out if i enjoy it enough to splurge on a FB though... but if I'd buy any Alien at all, it'd be this. Feels sexy and all grown-up.

Somehow similar to Alien Essence Absolue - but smokier and with a tiny masculine touch. So soft, sultry and creamy. Dark and warm. Very inviting.

I have a hole bottle for sale and ship in Europe. I like it but I prefer other ouds I have...

This is a very bold and unique scent. Being fairly new to oud, I didn't understand what "barnyard" oud smelled like, until I smelled the opening of this scent. Honestly it's pretty stanky on me at opening. Almost felt like I got tricked. Reminded me of poopy dirty barn, sorry, but it does for me at opening. Believe it or not, I collected two, one each from 2 different trusted retailers, and yup it is what it is. Thankful that stank part doesn't last forever. It dries and it smells like the original alien + an animalic oud on my skin. This is the part I can really appreciate the other spices and depth of this fragrance. Maybe because my nose is still pretty new to this type of animalic oud, I still get a little hint funky BO throughout wearing it. When I smell it up close, it smells good. I get the complexity of the fragrance. But when I get whifs of it here while going about my day it's BO smelling (promise I'm showered and clean). Very confusing, probably just doesn't work with my chemistry. I see this as more of a special occasion/night time scent. Like most of Muglers bolder scents I usually hate it at first, then crave and like it more and more after retesting them. I got this mainly to collect. The bottle, juice, and packaging box it comes in are so fun and very unique. Update: for fun just sprayed this on my boyfriend and it smells so much nicer on him. It stays barnyard for so long on me. Damn my chemistry ! Lol Atleast I can enjoy the scent on him.

I do prefer the original Alien , the dry down of AOM is pretty sour and the initial blast unfortunately knocks me down in a bad way , it's a pity , I expected something different , for those who wonder if it's worth to get AOM my personal opinion is no , stick to Alien . Oh and the projection and lasting power are killers , this is strong !
