About
Alien by Mugler is a Oriental Woody fragrance for women. Alien was launched in 2005. Alien was created by Dominique Ropion and Laurent Bruyere. Top note is Jasmine Sambac; middle note is Cashmeran; base note is Amber. Alien spreads an aura, and it claims the right to do that by its very name. Thirteen years after the huge success of Angel, Thierry Mugler challenges the world of perfumery once again.Alien is a magic elixir captured in a bottle of deep and mysterious purple with the shape of a talisman, reminiscent of a philosopher's stone or some warlock object.The creators of Alien based the composition on three main lines: warm, white amber in the base, woodsy notes in the heart, and sunny Indian jasmine in the top.
