Review 1 for Alien
Love, but too Strong
-05.21.13
I absolutely love this fragrance, but it is SO incredibly STRONG! I literally sprayed one small spray and I am overwhelmed and am getting a headache. However, listen, the fragrance itself is divine. It's so unique and beautiful, but you need to get the EDT!!! Go to TM's website for the EDT, it's much softer and so nice. And beautiful! But Alien is beautiful, too, just strong as all heck. Maybe if you sprayed once, then cut with some rubbing alcohol? It's just STRONG people! Headache city! But divine, delicious smelling headache city... Get the EDT!!

Love!
-05.20.13
Quick Take: good value, reusable
I am totally in love with Theirry Mugler's "Alien"! Almost every time I wear it, women tell me I smell wonderful and have to ask what it is I'm wearing! That has never happened with any other perfume! On me, the scent starts sharp and green. It mellows beautifully to a soft floral musky scent.

Strong, strange concept
-05.10.13
Quick Take: slightly weird
I haven't fully made up my mind about it yet. I can't say I love it, but I don't dislike it either. It has an odd sophistication to it - makes me imagine that an alien species has set out to manufacture a fragrance and they did their best to understand and emulate humanity. While it fails to stand out as much as I had hoped (the aliens must have conducted serious research), there is a chance I'm underestimating the strangeness factor (the "synthetic"-feeling element in the top notes).
There's something very strong and statement-y about these top notes; once they start fading, I usually notice that the smell has made me hungry (no headache, though, which is a good thing), but also that the fragrance has left a warm, very "human" "core".
Things it is: strong, vaguely odd, possibly more noticeable than half of the fragrances out there; this might as well be the smell of a clumsily-cyberfuture that's more the "normal" slow, predictable evolution of the present than a sudden sci-fi-insipred "jump". :)
Things it is not: fresh, "open", floral, "free".
I couldn't try it out in store - they did not have it here yet. If you are considering buying it, please test it out, the chance of hating it does exist.

Amazing!

I smelled this in the store and fell in love instantly! I am a perfume fanatic and have my very own Dillards counter in my bedroom, but this one definitely ranks the highest among them all. You will receive compliments from men and women alike!

Mystery Fragrance
-04.18.13
Quick Take: nice
I like this fragrance, because it's very uniquely formulated. It's kinda like a mystery, everytime I try this fragrance. i get note of chocolate, rose, jasmine, it's kinda a playful mysterious scent that's why the name is so fitting.

Very Unique
-04.14.13
When I first smelt this perfume it seemed very "grandmother overdid her perfume" but since I was in charge of promoting it I sprayed it only on my left wrist and pressed that to my right. Immediately the "grandmothers perfume smell" seemed I lightened & for the rest of my shift I receive Ed compliments asking what perfume I wore.

The best
-04.06.13
The perfume smells so good and get compliments every time I wear it. It feels like it's made with an oil so the smell stays on you longer. It's a smell that is soft and very feminine. Perfect for the spring and summer.

Review 12 for Alien
Really good!!!
-03.20.13
This was one of those perfumes that i never even thought to smell. Im glad i did though i was totally surprised how great this actually smelled! I LOVE jasmine and this has a very beautiful light jasmine scent to it. Its just light enough that it doesnt take over the whole perfume. This is very strong and long lasting which is great for me! Seriously its one of those perfumes that stays on things forever haha!

Alien
-03.05.13
Quick Take: good value
Smells so good! When I wear it, men and women tell me how good I smell and ask me what I have on! I love Alien a lot more then Angel, it is not "musk-y" like Angel. I recommend this product to any woman who enjoys smelling great!!!!!

Ew
-03.05.13
Not feminine at all. SO strong and musky, it smells like a cologne for men. One spray of this on someone nearby and it's all you can smell for HOURS, and it gives you a headaches. It's absolutely the worst perfume for women I have ever smelled and men do not like it. Should be marketed as pepper spray.

Review 15 for Alien
-02.23.13
Quick Take: good value, delicious, unforgettable, sensual
I am not one to write reviews but this perfume deserves praise! I have worn Michael By Michael Kors for about 8 years. I was getting my hair done the first time I smelled this perfume. My hair girl told me about it and said she gets stopped everywhere she goes when she has it on.
It took a little bit of convincing to make the switch but I did recently and I too have been stopped by both men and women asking what perfume I am wearing. I spray it once and it lasts all day!! Even after I wash my clothes they still smell like the perfume. My car and sheets smell like it too!! This is a perfume that is perfect for women who want their own "signature" smell! Its unforgettable and delicious!!

Review 17 for Alien
Grew on me...now addicted
-02.19.13
Quick Take: refillable
Just the description alone lured me in. I bought it...wasn't in love it completely. Tried Angel. Angel dried down on me like pencil shavings. All I could think about was Alien. I am now addicted. It dries down to the warm, amber scent that's delicious. At first spray, it smells a little floral and jasmine toned. But as it works with your body chemistry it is just amazing. My new signature scent!

Addictive
-02.16.13
Quick Take: reusable, addictive
I'm not one of those people that use perfume regularly, but after being intrigued by this perfume online, I was eager to smell it in store. I realized that I need a signature perfume, one that makes me smell distinct among my friends and co-workers, so I was open to spending BIG BUCKS on my new perfume.
I smelled this in store and was unfortunately not impressed. I was so happy to try it and basically buy it on the spot, but it didn't leave me in AWE. Before I left the store I sprayed it all over myself and went to work, to see if it would grow on me. And boy, it TOTALLY DID. It truly develops over time. At first it smells kinda sweet, then it starts to smell softer, then by the end of the day you're left with a musky sexy scent with hints of the previous scents. I got so many compliments on my scent that I just HAD to get it by the end of the day.
I'm so lucky to find my signature scent after ONE TRY.

Review 19 for Alien
alien; seductive; powerful; dominant
-02.09.13
Quick Take: reusable, good value
This is by far the most wonderful perfume scent. I've worn it for the past 4-5 years and still can't get over it. The feminine fragrance has a combination of amber, vanila, jasmine, orange, and woodsy notes.The original description says it is an elixir of magic captured în a weird-shape bottle, which is supposed to remind us of the philosopher's stone or of a "warlock" object in a violet, mistique nuance. Its interpretation sounds like the woman wearing it has some kind of magic spell she spreads to those around her. As cheesy as is sounds, I must agree it's true, as its strong, persistent and irresistible smell it emanates cannot get unobserved, Although I'm crazy about perfumes, most times I'm very picky since I'm allergic to mostly anything, so it's really hard to chose something I both like and tollerate. This is definitely one of them and I'd totally recommend Alien to all women.
P.S: I really don't work for the brand! :))
