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

I sense few similarities between this and the original Alien. this one smells lighter with a good balanced citrus and jasmine (like many people have nailed right in the head) and to surprise, its actually a better fragrance than Alien that I feels a bit awkward sometimes. any weather, any occasion, any season, anyone. well, might not really nice in winter days, but definitely something that I would use in summer days! a fragrance that can almost do anything in summer, how good is that? its perfect summer!

"Hello earthpeople, I come in peace, from planet Lemon-Jasmin" Biib-biib-biib... Much lighter version of lovely Alien with strong citrus start that fades away to reveal lightweight jasmin. Although I do like the intensity of original Alien, this is more easy to wear everyday and for work. No nauseating alien invasion in this one, no strong jasmin laserrays, only sparling, sunlike haze all over you. Lovely. The bottle is outstanding in design and colour and it really look like it's from outerspace.

It was love at first sniff, especially on top of Alien. Oh how I wish I could get this back in my life. Very bright, brash citrus on top, but fades quickly into Alien light with a spring in its step. I loved it. But then again, I love anything remotely Alien. Good blind buy for Alien lovers (if you can find it!) UPDATE: I found it a 10ml travel size. Woohooo! —— Okay. I got my fix and would like to swap to try new things as my nose is becoming more and more curious!

I can get everything I need in a perfume for tropical land! The freshness, sexy (for me), longevity..last all day, silage (if you spray more than twice), confidence, compliments :) This isn't a heavy..a bomb..a monster..but Sunessence has its own character, its own point ! Lemon and jasmin in a 'Sunshine bottle' Good job for Thierry Mugler ! Thank you Fragrantica..you made me sure to bought this charm !

This is a very good and lovely spring version of the original. I really like it, most times i ́m disgusted with perfume with lemon in it but this one is a nice exception. The lemon is soft and cozy and not harsh and loud like in most lemon based perfumes which make you actually smell like a lemon and who wants that? It ́s fresh but very chic at the same time, it smells expensive.

This is obviously a member of alien family I LOVE it's opening part,less warmer version of alien edt,with less jasmine sharpness,there is a hint of sweet lemon and ginger added But as time passes,these notes fade so it dries down to alien edt It could be one of my favorite summer scents if that gingery lemon stayed more Great sillage and staying power ❤❤❤

Found an old tester from 2009 that had been in one of my old handbags. (Yep, I know.) It smelt just as incredible as when I wore it the first few times, all bright Riomaggiore lemon soap and musk. Yum. Still a banger. Now I'm wondering if I should break my no-buy to try find this again. It's so good here for the heat!

I love it, it reminds me of my childhood, the smell of my brand new barbie doll or my little pony that I just wrapped out, - I started to call it my "mattel" fragrance, and wearing it makes me feel just happy and to thing that life is just a game! THIS WILL BE MY AUTUMN/WINTER FRAGRANCE FOR SURE, I enjoy it soo much

Love from first smell. It smells like lemon and bubblegum :) It doesn't remind me much of Alien: if Alien is woody and deep and great for the cold months, this is sunny and cheerful, great for summer and spring. I SO want this while they stil have it! If you like fruity smells try this, im sure you'll love it.

The 100 Days Challenge - Day 30: Soft Alien shining bright with lemony nuances. The atmosphere is vibrant with a citrusy spark while the original is subdued yet recognicible. The day version of a majestic eclipse of beauty and innovative sci-fi. Today's word: Miracle.

First time I sprayed this perfume, I hated it. Second time, however, I instantly fell in love with it. It is so unique and beautiful. I couldn't stop thinking about it. It leaves such a beautiful memory of its scent. This is an absolute must have! I LOVE IT!

"Sparkling and Tantalizing" If Alien EDP was a red wine, Alien EDT was a white wine, Alien Sunessence Legere would be a champagne in a flute. It is brighter fresher cleaner than the original. Very invigorating and lively. Love it. I just love it. -AB-

I love this flanker of the Alien Collection. This is so nice, sweet but in a good way, warm and cozy. I use it in every season and it works great in warm and even colder weather. It`s modern but elegant too. Thierry Mugler for me is one of the best.

A perfume made in heaven! Perfect balance between citrus and jasmin, it's heart to beat this one. My absolute favourite that I can't get enough with. The lasting power is good, the scent is quite strong but not heavy and annoying. Very feminine.

It's as though the sun was bottled with refreshing citrus and a field of jasmine. To me this is one of Alien's best summer variations. I adore the bottle too, it just screams 'SUNNY DAY!'
