The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2010 as part of Mugler's Sunessence collection, Alien Sunessence Edition Saphir Soleil is a summer-limited edition that reimagines the iconic Alien fragrance. Perfumer Dominique Ropion crafts an opening with pink grapefruit that introduces a luminous freshness, complemented by exotic tiare flowers. The heart of white amber and fresh spicy notes adds depth and warmth to this radiant composition, creating a scent that is both vibrant and enveloping.
Apply this fragrance with a light touch — the pink grapefruit opening is particularly vibrant but fades quickly. The base notes of amber and white floral linger for hours, making it ideal for daytime wear when you want a scent that evolves throughout the day.
