Alien Sunessence EDT Legere

I love Alien and wanted to try this, glad I did and wish I had a full-size bottle! I just bought the travel spray since it was a blind buy. First spray--smelled EXACTLY like I remembered a scent from my childhood--Love's Frenzy, a mid-90s juice from Love's/Dana. I went and bought a vintage bottle of Frenzy from Ebay just to compare/contrast (and OK, I also wanted to re-live 5th grade a little bit.) I'm transported back to Mrs. Laudonia's classroom in 1994, coming back from Christmas break when everyone is comparing gifts they received. All the "cool girls" got Frenzy in their stockings, and I watched (and sniffed) in envy as they enveloped the girl's room with a cloud of the stuff. I was able to convince my mother to get me a tiny splash bottle (she wanted me to get the Baby Soft but I WAS NOT A BABY AND NEEDED THE COOL GIRL JUICE). Bright golden yellow plastic Love's styling emblazoned with turquoise snowflakes for Christmas. Over the moon I was. Ok back to A.S. Pretty straightforwardly the profile of the original Alien, but add some sparkling juicy citrus, nothing too acidic and sharp though, just an ambient, uplifting warmth. It really evokes the feeling of sun-soaked skin at a waterside cafe in the afternoon, that you maybe sprayed with Alien the night before. The bottle is interesting, I have the travel spray which is shaped like a yellow crystal & rests on its side. When I compare the two, the Mugler has more staying power (as you'd hope, for being a French offering and not an old drug-store castoff) and maybe a little heavier Jasmine, but Frenzy is a great dupe! Wish they had it on the Fragrantica site to review with some of the other old Love's that you can still buy vintage on Ebay.

I bought a part-used bottle of this blind from eBay and it took me 2 weeks to build up the courage to try it. The reason? I'd tested the original Alien in Boots and the assistant had drowned me in it, it was awful. But, I was desparate to have something from the Alien collection and took a chance with ths. The opening is very lemony, in an almost plasticky way, and then the jasmine comes through, fresh and clean. The more I wear this, the more I love this. My husband comments on how good I smell every time I put it on, and that's unusual, I wear lots of different fragrance and he rarely passes comment! Now I love Sunessence, I've bought a little sample of original Alien, and guess what....I love it (and so does my husband!). So glad I took the risk of buying Sunessence....I've found 2 new fragrances I love.

After having a positively glorious experience with ALIEN LUMINESCENTE (my first ALIEN fragrance), I was ready to dive head first into the world of Thierry Mugler's ALIEN line. I recieved ALIEN SUNESSENCE today and it was LOVE at first spray! SUNESSENCE has some simililarities to LUMINESCENTE being light, citrusy and fresh upon the initial spray. I just love it! The white floral note shows itself after a few seconds and then ... the sublime dry down, the scent that settles on my skin is simply ethereal ... slightly sweet with the blend of amber and vanilla and mesmerizing hints of the woody note. When I close my eyes and smell it, I am transported into a land of enchantment where fairies dwell. ALIEN SUNESSENCE did not fail to impress, and so continue my fascination with the ALIEN line of fragrances.

Sunessence Legere is like softened Alien with a pile of Lemonheads on top. Yum! Sunessence never overwhelms. It wears like a soft veil, thanks to cashmearan. Once the amber emerges Alien's grapey accord comes out a little and the Lemonhead candies are pushed out of the way. I love this a lot. It's just a totally beautiful, easy to wear Alien with a twist (lemon twist). Lasts a long time for a "Legere." Edited to add: Much more similar to Eau Sublime than the ones listed above. However Sunessence Legere was from the "Thierry Mugler" line of Alien whereas Eau Sublime comes from "Mugler." I smell how the original Alien resides in this one and Eau Sublime has been "Muglerfied." In any case, Eau Sublime is the best substitute for this here beauty.

I got my beloved alien sunessence in a swapp,thanks to my dear partner smellME.. I love it,I love all aliens from THierry mugler,I even love almost all fragrances from him.. I don ́t mind to blyndbuy any of his fragrances, because I know, I ́ll always like.. This one has very lemon on it, Usually I don ́t really apreciatte too much lemon, but in this case I do,because after I spritz it in my body,it changes to a lemon jasmin scent,then it as that smell that all aliens have(The thierry mugler ́s signature) and so it ́s perfect, I mean they all are, I love it.. love it.. and love it.. I couldn ́t live without my precious aliens!! Thumbs Up for Thierry Mugler <3
