Preferences: Fruity, vanilla, watery, sweet, citrus (Will update) Perfume nose: amateur best season End of spring, beginning of summer day/night late afternoon/night the age of the woman who wears it 20's early 30's the persona of the woman who wears it- elegant, exotic, unbound When i first smelt this i was like eurgh the grapefruit. then i tried it on and i was like :o this is my first Thierry Mugler Perfume and i must say that i am very impressed indeed. it smells exotic without the cliche use of coconut. the grapefruit and the amber really emphasizes really good parts of tiare flower. it smells musky and creamy while still remaining fresh. I dont know what it is about this scent i cant get enough of it i want to sit under it..... 0.< it smells wonderful and warm all throughout, its exciting it can get hot without getting sticky a real nose journey this one is. the woman i picture for this scent is a long haired tahitian woman, sitting in the hot sun by a tiare flower tree drinking grapefruit juice and theres a slight breeze where you can smell it combine. the woman for this scent is a presence without shouting "hey i'm here!!!!" she is beautiful has exotic (features) and sexy but in an elegant manner. her smile is the kind that kills men in their tracks she really is something else... perhaps this is why its called alien? its an encounter of something out of this world but you want to know it and become sickeningly addicted to it? its uplifting, intriguing and daring. i think this one can be user friendly i have spray this on my family and it seems to be ok, its not a real gamble as i thought it would be. its quite sophisticated for 3 notes, i was like is this guy serious? just 3 notes? wow!!

This is an interesting one, & now that I own this fragrance I understand why it is not classified - because it is constantly changing (at least for me)! Therefore, it would be quite hard to classify. Straight out of the bottle, it smells VERY strongly of grapefruit (one of my favourite foods, as well as notes)! And upon first spray, it does smell very strongly of this, but I also detect wild lavender! It's pretty thick & intense upon this first spray... Then it mellows out & the wild lavender scent fades, leaving the grapefruit. So it becomes citrusy. Then, the grapefruit takes a backseat & the jasmine comes out, turning this into a sharp white floral. Next, I detect an element in this which is almost spicy, like paprika. And then finally it dries down into a creamy vanilla scent, almost exactly the same as the dry down of Amarige Mariage (on me)!!! Wow!!! That was definitely unexpected. I would describe this as a warm floral citrus scent which dries down into a creamy vanilla. But notes aside, to me, this smells like happiness! The dry down of Amarige Mariage almost makes me feel sad. I don't know why. But this makes me feel happy & confident. And the warm vanilla dry down makes me feel very comforted... I really like this. Fascinating fragrance, beautiful bottle & evocative of such positive emotions!! I would definitely associate this with a sunset on a beautiful summers day.

Absolute blind buy, saw it for sale online and bought it. I totally agree, y this smells a lot like alien, it's indeed fresher, following the lines of the EDT. While the salty amber grounds the composition, there is definitely a twist. This is not your regular off the mill sporty citrus. Once the initial spray Fades, there is more grapefruit peel than anything else. It gives body and complexity, adds a woody aspect instead of the citric freshness you would expect from any other summer fragrance. The tiare flower is more milky than the jasmine, the signature note of Alien, giving the whole fragrance a cozier aspect instead of HBIC realness. This is like a more approachable version of the ever so slightly cold and otherworldly Alien EdP. A Great plus is that the amber that Thierry Mugler uses in 'his' fragrances do not turn to bug spray in my skin, or perhaps it's the tiare balancing the sharpness of the composition? Me likey. Sillage is exceptional longevity about 8 hrs which is outstanding for an edt. If you have the chance, snatch this up. It's a terribly unique twist to a very much raved about fragrance!

This Alien flanker got me into the whole Alien range. Sunessence Saphir Soleil is a great scent. If you use Alien regularly, you might think this is a great summer fragrance. I still find it a bit too heavy in comparison to all the other summer scents in the shops. But still, I love wearing it. As it was a special edition and is no longer available I use it sparingly. This Alien opens with fresh and feminine notes. The grapefruit note in particular is sooo juicy and makes me want to spray more and more on my skin. The drydown is similar to the real Alien, but still fresh, warm and fruity. After a whole day I can still smell the difference between the original and this one and I must say that I really do like it. The yellow Alien sunessence and the original share more similarities but this is the perfect scent for someone who regularly stands in front of the Mugler shelf, sniffs Alien and is not sure whether to like it or not.

I got this in the winter and was waiting for better weather to wear it. Sprayed it today and I am in love! A while ago I went a bit off of Alien's fresher offerings (even in the summer) but I have come to love them! I think Alien Fusion is a little nod or trying to bring back a little of this beauty so if you can't find this one, Fusion is a close sister. Totally has the Alien DNA but it is just lighter, brighter and fresher with a citrus blast at the start rather a jasmine one, and floral notes coming out in the dry down. It doesn't last long tho, 1 hour or so on me, which considering the prices this and Fusion are going for... is not great, but reapplying this is really a moment of joy.
