Sentence with X...
No, that wasn't it.
Today I discovered it at Galeria. Sprayed it on, found it acceptable, and packed it up. The bottle is quite pretty with its shimmering gradient.
I had already paid for it and with a 20% discount I thought "you can't go wrong." Then I let my husband smell it on my hand half an hour later and he said "It smells like mothballs, I don't like it." Okay, I didn't smell that, but it was already quite artificial after 20 minutes.
I then took it back.
The scent has a lot of Alien in it. But here I don't smell jasmine or amber, which works with Alien. It's more of a static overall construct of typical Alien scent. I smelled it on my hand several times and always found it somehow piercing and quite artificial.
I've encountered something similar with The Police - The Sinner. That's supposed to smell like Alien too.
No, I don't like it. The sillage is weak and the longevity is about five hours.

I don't want to say anything, but while I'm writing this comment my husband says "Something here smells damn sexy!" I hold out the Mysteria hand to him and he says "Yes, that."
Oh dear, dilemma.
"But you can't smell unpleasant for three hours until the pleasant note develops."
He's right.
I quickly applied the original Alien and he liked it from the start. So no Mysteria in my collection, but always happy to have Alien. Now I can't smell the Mysteria on my hand anymore. It gets lost in the Alien aroma.

It really smells like Alien but super cheap, and the jasmine in it smells just like sweat. Really unpleasant.

An alien with less sillage and slightly worse longevity. However, I also don't get the typical alien headaches here.
