Well, I...
...I'm trying to decide whether or not to serve Alien for dinner. We have 14.30 o'clock and, because I didn't feel like cooking, we want to go to our Stammschnitzel restaurant...where the portions are generous, the service attentive and the food is brought quite fast. The small 15 ml Flakönchen I own is as big as the palm of my hand and fits perfectly into it. I hold it into the light and think of an oversized amethyst...purple, dark and mysterious The fragrance is unique...it always has been and always will be. I used to wear it up and down, of course I got tired of it at some point...because everyone was wearing it. So I had decided never to buy it again...but...exactly but...when I discovered the small edition of it in the perfumery a few months ago, I had to have this adorable thing.
I open the lid and sniff it...wonderful this jasmine which is discreetly audible...heaven if I sprayed it on now, the whole apartment would smell like it. My stomach is growling and I have to think about the schnitzel restaurant. A clean, small, rustic, rustic furnished swabian restaurant. I close the lid again. No...putting that smell on now is a waste. This scent needs its big entrance, not a swabian restaurant that is in the middle of nowhere and certainly not at 2.30 pm...but a club, a bar or at least a chic in restaurant after 10 pm. Alien is a monster as far as H+S is concerned...shy women or girls should not take it, this Jasmine-Cashmere-Ambra mixture is highly explosive and should be enjoyed with caution...and for some it causes a lot of headaches. Even if Alien is "only" a designer scent...it is phenomenally well done!

Alien woman
I would like to share two experiences with this fragrance with you. To describe him in general is very difficult, because he actually develops so individually on each skin as hardly any other, however, typical for all Mugler. They always polarize. Wonderful on one skin, terrible on the next. The chemistry just has to fit.
At a Mugler event years ago, my daughter fell in love with Aura. Wonderful on her, too extreme on me, even though I love smelling it on her.
I abhorred until that time Mugler overall, too intrusive, too artificial.
The lady at the presentation didn't understand my dislike, of course, and said, but you're the classic alien woman.
I laughed, Alien was the last perfume I could imagine myself wearing. It could fill entire halls with its sillage. I'd rather be naked then, with no scent at all. That's exactly what I told her.
I should give him just a little chance, was her request. I let myself in, following what I had learned as a child from my parents, first taste, then judge...
And so I got a tiny spray of the EDP on my wrist. The start was much fresher than expected. Then came
Jasmine, first pure and clear and some time later quite soft, the wood grounded the flowers. As if by a warm summer rain they are now on the ground in the fresh bark wood.
And then the sun comes and shines on it, the moisture evaporates and now the flowers radiate with full force their warm fragrance. Now ambergris also comes into play. In the process, an incredible energy is released. Like the sun of a late summer day or the first sun of spring. That's how I felt it and was thrilled. This combination at the end of the fragrance pyramid, gentle jasmine flowers, woody coated and mixed with amber.
It smelled wonderful on me.
I walked back to the stall and complimented the saleswoman.
She grinned and said only: "I said yet the classic Alien woman, I see the person and know which fragrance of Mugler fits"
Alien and Aura thus moved home with us.
Alien became my companion, not every day, but every day I wish I had that energy and strength he exudes. As fragile as you feel some days, like a delicate little jasmine blossom that can then unfold its fragrance so powerfully. And the extraordinary thing with me is that Alien stays close to the body. About an hour after spraying it on, only people who are allowed to be close to me perceive it. Very untypical for this perfume. But I myself smell it still for days in scarves or sweaters.

So when I need a refill and visit a perfumery we all know, unerringly reach for the big bottle of Alien, the saleswoman asks me if I want to give the fragrance away. I say, "no, it's for me." Her horror is written all over her
Face. "A woman like her and this ..how should I say...this extreme perfume..no, that doesn't fit at all, there are much nicer ones..may I show you something else"?
I'm angry, but too well behaved to show it.
I hold out my arm to her and say sugary sweet, "what do you think of this perfume"?
She sniffs and beams, "Wonderfully floral and very classy. It suits you, what is it?"
"Alien," I say, "because I'm an alien woman."
Feeling victorious, I leave her standing with her
mouth open Mouth to walk towards the cash register with my bottle.
And if she didn't die, I'm sure she's still alive today with her mouth open in amazement.

Alien ALIEN _a_l_i_e_n_ Abduction to another world
How you gave me the creeps! I was still so young when I met you for the first time! Shyly I entered the perfumery with a beating heart and my very first perfume voucher, which by far exceeded my usual budget of the drugstore fragrances I was familiar with.
Yes, I was a perfume virgin!
Glittering, sparkling, shimmering; a new world opened up to me. A mixture of noble scents welcomed me. Anticipation, excitement and fear. I looked around uncertainly, 1 step here, 2 steps there, but not too close to the shelves! A saleswoman approached me and asked perfectly formed, whereby she may be helpful to me. Of course I had suspected, hoped and yet feared this contact. I said quietly and shyly: "I'm looking for a perfume for myself!" The next question, in which fragrance direction to go, hardly helped me to feel more comfortable. Helplessly, I looked down the shelves. The shop assistant noticed my insecurity and sprayed 3 scents on test strips and off went my 1st real fragrance adventure! Tensely I sniffed and just as tensely the shop assistant watched me. She quickly got a feeling for the direction in which things could go in the still unknown scent world. Hypnosis and nina ricci were my favourites. I also found lolita fascinating. There were worlds between the perfumes I knew and this one. Smell explosion! Smell infatuation! Madness! The salesgirl noticed that I became more courageous and thought I was ready for you. She took you high up off the shelf Mystical, mysterious, eerie, dark. And then she spoke your name. Alien! It echoed in my head, ALIEN, the sound distorted _a_l_i_e_n_ and became deeper and deeper. I took a step back "No, he's not for me!" A fragrance with this name, which comes in such an extraordinary and self-confident flacon, frightened me. I didn't want to sniff you, not let you touch my skin. I didn't want to know you. Scary and psychic. I felt you were watching me. I hurriedly decided on two harmless, friendly scents and went outside, away from you and your creepiness I stayed well clear of you for the next few years. I still saw you waiting and patiently lurking. I was only too aware of your existence More self-confident, more mature and God knows no more perfume virgin, I approached you courageously 10 years later. There you were right in front of me: sublime, focused, confident of victory. With bated breath I touched you. You lay surprisingly comfortably in my hand. Strange and yet familiar. Mystical, unique, noble, but no longer eerie. A breath of what was about to await me enveloped you.
Like a true gentleman, you held yourself back comfortably until I was ready for you. No test strip should come between us. All or nothing. It's now or never.
And then you seduced me with full force, with all your senses and almost drove me out of my mind with your fullness and intensity. Electrifying, demanding and yet warm and soft at the same time. You tore me into your world. You brought me a huge bouquet of jasmine with a deep, long look that confidently promised everything I was longing for. Violet, dark, strange and yet eerily familiar. Attractive and powerful, enveloping and present Today you also give me security and safety. You are a comforting presence and from the beginning you were the perfect lover. My alien of the hour, still fascinates and surprises me with many a fragrance orgasm to cuddle you afterwards, to stay with me and to show the world that I belong to you!

extraterritorial excursions of the nasal mucosa
Alien belongs to the new generation of fragrances, which has no more olfactory course to offer, i.e. it came, saw....and triumphed, wants to plow allzugerne in the long run the skin, take the hair in fittings, the armpits to conquer, in short, the whole material to cells intersperses. No tender caresses of the Hesperides, cuddly Röslein, or delicately graceful jasmine, no, the whole complexity comes armored with chain rattles on the respective object. Alien captivates by its extreme durability, by its mocking Sillage, here was not saved on ingredients, on molecules, which stick like Pattex, which accelerate the Sillage still with 100 kilojoules on the last smell molecules. The targeted customer should have something for her Euro, she should be made smell-proof.
The scent in the FAZ revealed itself to me as a little letter with the words Tirez moi, poussez sur le flacon.... i did as brag... and my dog, who always has different scent preferences than me, but sometimes lies down in my faithful Chanel 19 arms, I thought to feel a little distance.
No comparison to the French perfumery art of the Polge Clan, or Roudnitzka, i.e. the elaboration of the fragrance, the pointed use of certain nuances, the combination of the ingredients with one's own skin, with sweat, with the personal aura of the wearer, which e.g. dominates the House Chanel in the most beautiful way. Even delicate fragrances like Chanel No. 5 L'Eau captivate with their excellent craftsmanship, very subtle and tender armor movements and inner smile. With Alien a whole bear family or better said a crocodile population rocks here, because said models can smell badly.... but I'm sure we'll perceive the alien.
Well, a scent, or a scent for young girls, that wants to be consumed in masses, that is often noticed in trains or trams, that might be worn in discos, or at music events of the same category, here: Mainly loud, bass drone at 190 dB. Not so much a scent for human dog noses who sniff a scent, who draw it in internally, break it down into components, rejoice at the top note, acknowledge the heart note with a smile and finally simply want to snog the base note. So there is for every nose, you might think, a lid and so it is also okay. The extraterrestrial polarizes, as is the case with extraterrestrials, the price is okay, because you get perfume here in high concentration, with the statement "Clear the path, I'll pass by here" and with a conclusive olfactory experience. The turn of the millennium has opened up completely new dimensions of perception here. Fortunately, there are houses like, I would almost say, Guerlain.... but I prefer to say Roja Dove... who specialize in nasal adventures

Outrage yourselves!
After we finished our education, my girlfriend and I moved into a flat share and enjoyed life to the fullest. At that time we were still too young, too rich, too beautiful and too brave. And this fragrance embodies exactly this lifestyle. After a wild weekend in too high shoes, too short dresses and too much champagne, which is suddenly given to you by far too old men, my roommate applies at least three splashes of this fragrance and rushes into the office. The whole apartment and the whole hallway are filled with her scent. The older colleagues were indignant about such a striking scent and the boss suddenly looked at you for a moment too long ...
Meanwhile, I mascaraed my eyelashes to infinity with my first expensive Lancôme mascara, and in the process I was making plans to move to the big city to study ...

Six years later.

I rarely wear the scent anymore. It just didn't fit with the screwed up exams, the shitty side jobs, the bullying during the internship and the resulting question "Where did my self-confidence actually disappear to?"
So Alien is pausing right now and I use rather inconspicuous scents. But at some point I will have the bottle refilled and remember when we had too much of everything and expected everything from life.

Strong floral on top, settles into a lovely warm floral. Nice, but not as interesting in anticipated. Reformulation, I'm guessing.
