I never quite understand why women who fall madly in love with Angel aren't able to put it in a separate category when testing Alien. Yes, they are both under the Thierry Mugler name, but that doesn't necessarily make them alike. I think that the name gives it away; Alien. it's not Angel Innocent, It's not Angel Garden of stars, it's simply Alien. Thus, when I tried it I had Angel out of my mind. What I've found with Alien (and every other fragrance out there) is that you must put it on for the "Fabulousness" to take effect. I tried the Perfume (applied with a nifty little gold wand) on my wrist, and went about my day. The way it smells is hard to describe. There's definitely jasmine in there, along with amber and a very slight green note. It almost has a "distant" quality, very synthetic-smelling, but very pleasing. I know that a lot of women are put off by it on the blotter, but I really advise applying some of the perfume oil on yourself and then seeing how you like it.

I'm hooked. At first, when I smelled it on the card I dismissed it as far too sweet with an almost flat quality to it. Well, when I finally gave it a go and sprayed it on my wrist, I couldn't stop sniffing it. I don't like standard fragrance, and this definitely isn't standard by any means. It's a very warm, with patchouli, bergamot, chocolate and vanilla, but it also has peppermint and lavender, which seems to tone down the overly sweet notes. When I wear it I get so many compliments from both women and men, plus you only need a small amount, and it's actually quite inexpensive when compared to other fragrances. What's not to love?
