MUGLER ALIEN EDP
The Story
Alien is Mugler's second masterpiece, launched in 2005 as a radiant counterpoint to Angel's dark gourmand intensity. Where Angel is chocolate and patchouli, Alien is pure jasmine and white amber, a solar beam of warmth and femininity. The fragrance is deceptively simple on paper but extraordinarily powerful in execution, with its jasmine sambac heart radiating like a force field. Housed in a purple crystalline talisman bottle, Alien embodies otherworldly beauty and inner strength, becoming one of the most successful fragrances of the twenty-first century.
