About
Alien Essence Absolue by Mugler is a Oriental Woody fragrance for women. Alien Essence Absolue was launched in 2012. The nose behind this fragrance is Pierre Aulas. Top note is Jasmine; middle notes are Cashmere Wood and Orris Root; base notes are Vanilla Pod, White Amber, Myrrh and Incense. Thierry Mugler adds another edition to the Alien perfume collection (founded with the original Alien from 2005), Alien Essence Absolue, in summer 2012. The new fragrance is described as richly intense, sensual, deep and mysterious. The composition is developed by Pierre Aulas from accords of white jasmine flowers, orris root, animalistic black vanilla pod, incense, myrrh, white amber and cashmere wood. The bottle design is inspired by the classic Alien bottled style and gold drops used as talismans in the Orient. Alien Essence Absolue is available as 30 and 60 ml Eau de Parfum Intense and a refill of 60 ml.
