Alien Pulp

A masterpiece from Mr Ropion who created the original Alien for women. As a man, I too love this new fragrance. As always with my fragrance testing, I showered first and used body lotion (Nivea Rich nourishing Pure Hyaluron with almond oil), which helps a fragrance bind to the skin in my opinion. Naturally there ARE OTHER body lotions to choose from (that hopefully satisfies my lawyers) 😂 To my nose, there are certainly similarities here to 2020's Mugler Angel Nova Eau de Parfum created by Sonia Constant, Louise Turner and Quentin Bisch, Alien Pulp on my skin opens brightly with a glorious Raspberry burst of summer freshness that I really like. It quickly settles with that Jasmine note coming through, though the fruity vibe to me is as pleasing and refreshing as Angel Muse Eau de toilette which I absolutely love, have in my collection and wear regularly 🥰 Sadly I only had my free sample 1.2ml sized as a Circle member to use and being a heavy sprayer, this did not give me adequate coverage for my testing needs. I am a big fella and 1.2ml on me covered my neck, behind the ears and rear of neck before the nozzle screamed 'enough' and was spent. Normally I would have sprayed liberally behind the knees and inner elbows, underarms, forearms, wrists and upper shoulders, and probably a few squirts onto my shirt and a final single cloud burst walk into spray which would take double the sample size to complete. That said, two hours later my nostrils still picked up the fragrance and the fruitiness was still very pleasing indeed. Four hours later and though not as prominent, I still picked up those fruity vibes though it was more of a skin scent on me. By six hours after spraying, it was still a very lovely aroma and one that in warmer months I could really see me enjoying. The dry down is exquisite, but you must allow time for the sexy, subtle and sophisticated heart and base notes to emerge through the raspberry cloud. If using an instore tester, spray your pulse points, wrists and neck liberally, do not rely on a paper tester strip as that bare no relation to human skin. Let it sink in and work it's magic. So can a man wear something that is Raspberry based, floral 💐, and marketed as exclusively for women? 🤔 As a man, I love fruity scents, and the sweetness that women's variants have over the men's. Us guy's do not always want to smell like a leather chair or gloves 🧤, a gentlemen's whiskey bar 🥃 or a burning forest 🍂, some of us do also like like sweetness too you know! Overall I rather like Alien Pulp and for a summer day 🌞 in shorts and sandals walking across the beautiful beaches in British Columbia 🇨🇦 this is exactly what I like in a fragrance. Projection and sillage are modest, closer to the skin but very clearly present in wafts to my nose. Another fragrance I would wear for my own pleasure rather than as a crowd pleaser or to garner compliments. Longevity seems decent if not nuclear on my skin and again I have another Mugler summer alternative to consider. Would I buy a full bottle and wear? 🤔 Yes, absolutely 🥳 It smells wonderfully summer fruity on my skin, has a feel good vibe and is pleasing to my nose. Can a man get away wearing this....🤔 absolutely, after all, I've been wearing women's Mugler variants for years and you'd be amazed at how many compliments I have received and the shock, horror, dismay and bewilderment of so many when I tell them it's actually a women's fragrance! 😲

I’m honestly surprised by the amount of upset reviews over this thing, for me it’s absolutely beautiful- I do understand some of the people going on about it being nothing like the original Alien BUT I can tell theres a little bit of the original in there, it’s very faint but it strikes me as a first time buyer of the Alien fragrance line type scent... something a whole lot easier to handle to begin with than some of the other Mugler frags if you’re a little iffy on them, I suppose-? For me it opens with this pink or red sour hard candy scent, big raspberry with all the citrus in it, really easy to like if you’re into super fruity fragrances without all the florals really, then it softens down into a more creamy yet powdery grape? scent... sorta like the initial impression I get out of a bottle of Alien sometimes, much more creamy though. On my skin it doesn’t last super long and the scent isn’t grape scented when it dries down, more cashmerey and musky. Edit; Lowkey I’ve just now realized after putting Fiery Passion with this, it kinda smells like a way less strong and more powdery version of it ?? Still love this, but yeah once again it being in the Alien line it seems like it should be at least as strong as a celebrity perfume 😭😭

🌺 My bff went with me to Sephora to ‘play’ in the perfumes (yes, I’m over 45). She told me not to look at what she sprayed on the tester. Blew me away (out of approximately 7) this really stood out. I love doing this as there’s zero personal preconceptions. Purchased a full bottle. 😊 🌺 I have to agree with ‘aldinatic’ in that it has the 2000s vibe; for me, the mid 2000s. Pulp has a fresh dry-down and doesn’t bite throughout any of the levels. Fragrance with musk at the base creates a fresh scent on my skin. Always. 💕 It also seems to soften perfume notes. 🌺 IMO, it doesn’t have the Alien DNA as Alien Goddess doesn’t (for me). Although a very tiny bit sweet, it seems neutral in that many age brackets will be able to flaunt it. Wish they’d create a layering lotion in the Pulp scent but can’t have it all. 👽 Longevity 8+ hours Sillage Average total 4 feet Leans female; however, men may enjoy also with NP Good value considering the above ⬆️ UPDATE: Put it on before bed and awoke to the scent of raspberries. If ya don’t like raspberries, take a pass on it as that’s the final settle on this perfume.

I love it. Got my 100 mil bottle from ULTA yesterday in the mail, , sprayed a few sprays this morning and still loving it now at 8:30 pm . More proof that fragrance is different on everyone - so try it yourself. I agree that it smells like Angel Nova somewhat, the same fruity vibe, but I love them both. I smelled a quick medicinal whiff at first spray, but it quickly dissipated and was replaced by a beautiful fruity smell, which I enjoyed all day. It didn’t change much after the dry down. It’s a sophisticated nice fruit smell like the pulp of a sweet fruit with a little powder . I think it’s appropriately named. I will wear some more but I don’t think my opinion is going to change on this one. Bottle is beautiful. I will need another bottle come spring, as tomorrow I am going to douse myself in it at the risk of choking out everyone I am sure, lol, it’s really nice. I think I have to limit myself to just a few sprays though.

I am a big big fan of the old Aliens (pre 2019) and this flanker to me, has nothing to do with alien. However, it's a stunning fragrance. The bottle is beautiful and the juice is lovely. It reminds me of the La nuit tresor musc diamant, without any La nuit tresor dna, and with added sweet raspberry. It's not a juicy raspberry to me, and it's not candy sweet. It's light and airy and slightly vanillic and a little powdery. I love a good raspberry note, and for that reason I love it. But it is dissapointing that it has no resemblance to the original alien at all. This does feel like it would layer very well with alien eau extraordinaire or alien edt, that is probably how I will use it this spring and summer. But I think it's time that i realise that the good old alien days are gone. I will cherish the old flankers that I have, and stop expecting the new ones to smell like alien, unfortunately.
