  Review in three acts: 1. In the store, I smelled it and thought, ‘What a weird one! It’s fresh, aquatic, salty… nothing like Alien. Not bad, it’s refreshing, but Mugler would have named it something else. It doesn’t bother me, but I could live without it. I won’t buy it.’ 2. That day in March, the salesgirl perfumed me (even my scarf). Two months later, in May, I noticed a soft, fresh scent in a corner of my living room. Where did it come from? The jacket from that day had soaked up Mirage. There’s the Mugler name screaming out, though not so much the Alien name—this perfume has its own thing going on. 3. I finally got the bottle. I said I could live without it, but I found it at half price. I smelled it calmly: it’s fresh, aquatic, airy, and lovely. Despite its mineral-salty note, it’s feminine and delicate. If I were zodiacal, I’d say it’s an air sign scent (I’m Aquarius, lol). Conclusion: If you love Alien for its power and sweetness, stay away; you’ll hate it because it has nothing to do with the classic or Essence Absolue. But if you’re looking for something that identifies you, breaks the mold, and is fresh and mysterious, it could be the launch of the year. The funniest part is that I went from ‘I could live without it’ to ‘it’s going to be in my life for as long as I can.’

  I’m a total Mugler fan—I love Alien and Aura, so I jumped into Mirage blindly. Honestly, I’m still not sure if I’ll like it. The trail is nice, but it doesn’t quite convince me; I expected something fresher, and it turns out to be very heavy. Just one spray, and after five minutes, it starts to overwhelm me, feeling too enveloping. Hard to wear in the heat; it just doesn’t let you breathe. I’ll give it another shot, but I think it’s too overpowering, heavy, and sweet. Update: Definitely not for me—it gives me headaches and has a sour note that doesn’t appeal to me. Total disappointment.

  What a beautiful fragrance! Hey, I also heard it was aquatic, for summer, blue as the sea, definitely fresh. But I’m not seduced by summer perfumes; I’m more of an autumn-winter person. I love amber, oud, leather, and incense, so I wasn’t interested. I went to the store just to browse, and with testers stuck down due to COVID, who can blame anyone for trying? Coincidentally, when the salesgirl put it on a girl, I sneakily grabbed it and sprayed it on myself. I got scolded a lot, but then I started smelling that rich scent on my wrist. What is this??? Nothing like the other Aliens, sure, but… summery? Fresh? Come on, I don’t think Mugler is getting more watered-down in this life! It’s a powerful perfume, not quite as much as the original, but it makes a presence and has projection worthy of Mugler. What does it smell like? Hard to describe; it’s a rare floral. I don’t know what the metallic notes smell like, but they give it a peculiar touch. Characteristic, and I like it. The amber adds creaminess and feels a bit green. Not for summer, I think; more for a cool night. It’s elegant and special; I need to study it more.

  How beautifull fragrance! I heard it was aquatic, for summer, fresh and blue like the sea. Nah, fresh scents don’t seduce me; I’m an autumn-winter person, I love amber, oud, leather, and incense. I had no interest. I arrived at the perfumerie, with testers closed due to covid🙄, and the salesperson sprayed it on a girl. I snuck it and sprayed it on myself. I got scolded, but then I felt that rich scent on my wrist. Nothing like other versions of Alien, but summery? Fresh? Come on. Mugler + water doesn’t seem to work. It’s powerful, makes a presence, and has projection worthy of a Mugler. What does it smell like? Hard to describe: it’s a rare floral, with metallic notes that give it a peculiar touch. The amber adds creaminess and feels a bit green. Not for summer, maybe for a cool night. It’s elegant, special, and I have to study it more.

  What a pleasant surprise. It doesn’t resemble anything in my collection; I had read that it was compared to Kenzo Power World and they have nothing to do with each other. Alien Mirage is powerful, with a huge trail and wonderful longevity. The lotus flower, the syringe, and the amber dominate, making it sexy and addictive, mixed with metallic notes that make it unique. I find it versatile, although I’m using it now that it’s cold. I would definitely buy it again. A delight!

  What a pleasant surprise I’ve gotten; it doesn’t resemble any other in my collection. I read that it was compared to Kenzo Power World (which I own), and they have nothing to do with each other. Alien Mirage is powerful, with an enormous trail and wonderful longevity. The lotus flower, syringe, and amber dominate, making it sexy and addictive, mixing with metallic notes that make it unique. I find it versatile, though now that it’s cold, it’s my favorite. I’ll definitely buy it again. A delight!

  I bought it by mistake! I was looking for a fragrance I smelled at Ulta but couldn’t remember which of the two bottles it was. I took a risk and ordered two. Upon receiving them, I was disappointed: it wasn’t the expected scent. I told myself, give it another chance. I used it for two days in a row and I loved it! The initial notes are mineral (salt) and floral (girlie flower scent), but the subsequent ones are gorgeous. It’s sweet, unparalleled, addictive, soft, gentle, and not aggressive at all.

  I bought it by mistake! I was looking for a scent I smelled at Ulta but couldn’t remember which of the two bottles I ordered was the correct one. I took a risk and ordered both. When they arrived, I was disappointed at first: it wasn’t the scent I expected. I told myself, ‘give it another shot.’ I wore it all the next day, and I loved it! The opening notes are mineral (salt) and floral (that flower smell I used to pluck as a little girl to play with), but then come precious notes. It’s a sweet scent I can’t describe because it doesn’t resemble anything I’ve ever smelled. I’m fascinated; it’s addictive, soft, gentle, and nothing aggressive.

  With just two sprays, you go through a mask and are blown away. It’s a fresh, aquatic, crystal-clear EDT, but with all the punch of a Mugler. Don’t let the illusion fool you: Mirage is oceanic, yes, but the lotus flower and white amber give it a sweetness and an overwhelming personality. Very elegant, versatile, for day and night. Subtle yet special, with lots of personality. Out of all the flankers I know, it’s the one that strays furthest from Alien. I think it could have been a star perfume with the right marketing, and if 2020 hadn’t been such a cursed year. For me, it’s been fabulous… the longevity and trail are fantastic for an aquatic EDT. The bottle is gorgeous, like no other, from another planet…💙 All respect to Ropion, undoubtedly a master, unique.

  Two sprays are enough to get through a mask. Wow, a fresh, aquatic, airy, and crystal-clear EDT, but with all the power of a Mugler. Don’t be fooled by the mirage: Mirage is fresh and oceanic, but the lotus flower and white amber give it sweetness and an overwhelming personality. Very elegant, versatile, for day and night. Subtle but special. Out of all the flankers I know, this is the one that strays the most from the Alien family. I think Mirage could have been a star perfume with the right advertising and if 2020 hadn’t been so unlucky. Fabulous for me: the longevity and trail are fantastic for an aquatic EDT. The bottle, beautiful as no other, from another planet…💙 All respect to Ropion, undoubtedly a master.

  It’s a rare scent, no denying that. Fresh and unisex opening that reminds me of Natura’s Kaiak aero. You can feel the alien DNA from start to finish, although in the opening it’s when it’s least like its progenitor. As it flies through the air, you realize it’s not for everyone: you must like fresh scents with a masculine touch. In the middle of its evolution, the floral appears, before it’s spicy and mineral; at dry down it’s totally Alien with undeclared jasmine and that creamy amber. I was scared of it, but I loved it.

  The Alien furthest from the original concept: Mirage opens salty and amber, like the skin of cetaceans, salty and oily. Then it slowly mutates into an aquatic dominated by the lotus flower, always with that salty base. The projection is subtle for an Alien, and the longevity is around 6 hours. Despite being a fan of the line, it has nothing to do with the woody floral of the EdP; I find it unforgettable but very original, I don’t know anything similar. I see it as unisex but leaning feminine, informal, for daytime use in the shoulder season or summer. Pleasant: 6/10, Interesting: 7/10, Versatile: 6/10, Original: 8/10.

  It’s a scent I love. I sense some notes similar to Chloé’s Love Story. I have a question: I bought the Mirage version at a prestige perfumerie; the box has codes and QRs accepted on the official Mugler website, but the liquid is NOT blue—neither the one I bought nor the tester in the store is amber. Can anyone explain why? Regardless, it’s a scent I love. Soft but noticeable, not as sweet as I’m used to, but it’s fine.

  @Icara, thank you so much, yes, something like that. Check the opening photos: there are blue bottles and others that are amber. The perfume is delicious and not spicy at all. Thanks for your kindness.

  I love it. I detect similar notes to Chloé’s Love Story. A question: I bought the Mirage version at a prestige perfumerie; the box has valid codes and a QR code on the official website, but the liquid is NOT blue, neither mine nor the tester in the store, both are amber. Why? Anyway, it’s a scent I adore: soft but noticeable, not as sweet as usual, but great.

  @yesteves, someone with a better chemistry could explain it better, but natural perfumes evolve like wines, changing color as they mature, turning more amber or darker. That doesn’t mean they’ve turned sour, although before turning sour they go through changes. The shift from blue to amber is surprising; if they start yellow or pink, it’s less noticeable. Even Chanel had complaints about green perfumes that turned brown in two years, thinking it was poor quality, when usually synthetics stay intact. It happens to me with an Angel by Mugler that goes from blue to amber. I also have a mini of Angel Garden of Stars Violette by Mugler, brown when it should be violet, and after 15 years it hasn’t turned sour yet. Hope I helped. Best regards!

  Wow, if you’re looking for something different, this is it. It’s an overwhelming fragrance that needs to be applied moderately; the projection is excellent and it lasts forever. Intense, ideal for cool or cold climates, because in heat it can become overpowering. Don’t buy it blindly, but it’s worth trying: it’s unique and can captivate if it connects with your skin. For my chemistry, it smells like creamy watermelon. It opens salty, and that marine note persists, along with some metallic touches that give it character. Calone makes it unisex, but the sweet floral bouquet leans it toward feminine, so you should enjoy sweet scents; the cypress is barely noticeable once it dries down.
