This Alien flanker is a great extra option for summer, thanks to its citrus notes that make it fresher and cleaner than the EDP or EDT. It probably isn’t for everyone; the opening is softly citrusy. I would have liked to smell more ginger, but I can’t detect a trace. The base is similar to the EDP, which I prefer over this flanker, and a bit like the original EDP that I adore. Longevity is about 5 hours on my skin. It’s fresher than the previous versions, slightly soapy, which is why I say it smells clean. Nothing really surprised me. So far, I’ve only used it this summer and don’t plan to buy more bottles.
I bought this perfume today because I absolutely loved it. It’s the second Thierry Mugler fragrance I own; before, their scents and I were flirting but never clicked. I tried to like Angel and Alien, but failed: I can’t stand Angel, and Alien seemed too intense and strange, so I never gave them a chance on my skin. Everything changed with Womanity, so controversial and different; once I tried it, I was convinced and now it’s in my collection. Today I saw this flanker and couldn’t resist testing it on blotter: it was a pleasant surprise, and once applied to my skin, it turned out amazing. The top notes are clearly ginger and hyssop; it feels fresh, floral, revitalizing, yet slightly spicy, all at once. It’s youthful, fun, and cheerful. In the heart notes, there’s a very subtle freesia, and the base is woody with the perfect touch of amber that doesn’t make it heavy, but gives it a slightly masculine vibe (I like perfumes like this because they suit me well). Although it’s not identical, it reminds me of its mother. The trail is noticeable but not intrusive, and longevity is acceptable, around 5-6 hours, not as massive as the original. Plus, the bottle is a work of art. I’ll be using it a lot this hot season, and it seems like an excellent choice if you’re looking for a lighter, fresher version or if the original feels too much for you, like it does for me.
I just bought it; it smells strong but fresh, ideal for hot climates. It has a very pleasant, harmless soapy scent and lasts a long time. I’d give it a 7 out of 10.
