Please put them all in your spaceship and drop them somewhere far, far away.
(...only kidding).
This is a question for you guys who know their Thierry Mugler Alien & flankers (if a female is also reading, I welcome her opinion too!):
I am a big fan of A*Men and their flankers, have them all (except IceMen), and would like to make the jump and get me some Alien too, but the question is, which one?
I would like to decide between Alien EDP and EDT, Alien Taste of Fragrance and Alien Liqueur de Parfum...
Some hints on what I like: jasmine (my main draw towards Alien), gourmands, amber, not too much of a floral mix.
Thanks for you help!

I like the original EDP
Ice Men isn't half bad, if you haven't tried it. Quite a funny scent.

Alien EDP, but if you don't have Womanity Taste of Fragrance it's much better than anything from the Alien line.
Some day's you're the statue and some days you're the pigeon.
If the jasmine is what you're after then I think the original EDP is the only one you need. I am a huge fan of Alien but IMO the Alien flankers are the most redundant creations in the whole Thierry Mugler line-up.
The Sunessence flankers (2009, 2010, 2011) only add in synthetic top-notes, the rest is Alien watered down.
The EDT is for those who consider the EDP too heavy. EDT is EDP watered down with the jasmine note muted
The Alien Liqueur de Parfum is Alien turns gourmand, I'm talking about the original EDP with a little caramel sweetness added in. The jasmine note is totally missing in this version
I've only smelled Alien The Taste of Fragrance briefly on paper and lost my interest right there. To my nose, it is also another replica of Alien with little changes
Haven't smelled Alien Aqua Chic so I cannot comment on it
I suggest you go with the original EDP. It's Alien in all of her glory

I wouldn't say Alien Liqueur de Parfum is Alien meets Pure Malt. They're totally different. I cannot detect any boozy-ness in Alien Liqueur de Parfum. Alien Liqueur de Parfum is warm and caramelly sweet. Think the base of the EDP but smoother with a couple drops of sweet caramel added. IMO, Alien Liqueur de Parfum is warm and cozy while EDP is cold and distant. However, the Alien Liqueur de Parfum lacks uniqueness due to the absent of the strange metallic jasmine top-note

In my opinion more or less as femenine as alien, only that Alien es a bit heavy/buttery for my tastes...

Lloyd: if you want pure jasmine overdose -> Olene and Full Jasmin.

IMO, the jasmine note (supported by a metallic and milky vibe) in Alien is very unique, modern and edgy. I've been desperately searching for a fragrance with only such top-notes but yet to find anything come close to it.
On a side note, glad to see a male BNer wearing a floral creation from PG, a house that offers very unique creation, love Tubereuse Couture - my tuberose of choice![]()

I am in a PG and a tuberose frenzy lately, so I am very curious about Tubereuse Couture. Ever since I tried Carnal Flower I turned from "I don't like florals" to "feed me flowers". Hell, I'm even finally enjoying my hated iris in Iris Taizo... PG really knows how to craft serious perfumes.

Tubereuse Couture is really interesting, the tuberose note in it is not fresh and flowery like the note in Do Son by Diptyque or Carnal Flower. It receives the same treatment as the one in China Town by Bond No9 or La Rue de la Fortune by D&G. However, instead of vanilla or coconut, the tuberose note in Tubereuse Couture is supported by sugarcane which make the whole composition lighter, brighter and borderline drinkable![]()
Do Son is fresh? hell I should try it right now! I love "fresh" tubereuses (carnal flower, tubereuse criminelle...)
