Alien We Are All Alien Collector Edition

The bottle is gorgeous.. mine leaned orange on the top left and green on the top right, pink and red in the middle and blue on the bottom left and purple on the bottom right.. and this shines when the light is on the bottle and you move it around you can see different aspects of the colors that change like you would a diamond in light..it's pretty kool..and when you put your hands behind the bottle the colors come out darker and you can really see all the colors so this one works with the light to see all aspects of it's dimensions..so in my bottle all the colors are there..very pretty in person like a rainbow diamond and it's refillable..this smells lighter than Alien Essence Absolue so I actually prefer that to this and it lasts longer with this one lasting on me about 4 1/2 hours on my skin with a sillage i could smell..but I love the fragrance still and I had to spray a lot of it all over..but when I did it was pure joy..it has the sharp nice jasmine note mixed with woody notes and a slight freshness through out the whole fragrance but as it dries down it begins to shift into this beautiful orange blossom and vanilla.. but what I love about this is this is really a white floral with vanilla on the dry down where as Alien Absolute is more a amber vanilla on the base..I love the base on this a lot more than expected and equally love them the same now..Alien We Are All Alien is very hard to get anymore since it only came out on Black Friday and never will be sold again...it was a collectors edition..I'm happy to have it in my collection..

Okay, the bottle is awesome. Mine is mostly pink in the middle with a gradient to purple and blue at the top and orange and green at the bottom. It's so woody at first, I wasn't sure I would like it but after settling in for a half hour, the other notes begin to come through and it turns into something beautiful. The jasmine, amber and a touch of orange and vanilla begin to take form. It's still woody, earthy and sexy, and has an almost unisex vibe to it close to the skin. I feel like when you smell it right at your skin it's not as good as when you just catch the scent as you move. There's like this aura of sweet deliciousness around you that isn't quite the same if you sniff directly at the spot you sprayed it. To properly test it don't just spray it on a wrist. You need to fully spray it on and then let it settle and develop, then judge it as a whole and all around you. It's not like anything else I have in my collection. I think this is one of those perfumes you have to evolve to. A few years ago, I probably would have passed on it but once you've been through all the common scents and you're looking for something unique, you begin to open your mind to and appreciate fragrances like Alien.

Just adding this Review to highlight the beauty and edge this bottle is and was at the time, I will forever miss when Mugler would attach the bottom gold clasp under the Alien text. Without its addition it feels flat and one dimensional, it almost looks like the clasps that will hold diamond onto earring posts. And don't even get me started on how gorgeous the rainbow effect of this model is in the sun, I really miss when Mugler would all out and make the packaging just as wonderful as the juice.

I have been looking for this colourful Alien bottle for 4 years, but every time I tried to buy it online, it was out of stock. Earlier this year, I went on a trip to Egypt and found an old dusty box of this at the airport in Alexandria. There was only one left, hidden behind some bottles of Angel. I jumped with joy. This is a slightly fresher version of the original Alien, and so I wear it in the warmer months and save the original for the winter.

Just more Alien. Beautiful bottle obviously, but it's not really different from alien. Maybe a bit woodier, but it's just Alien. I love it, but it's not different enough to be a love.
