Once more for the Alien fiends!
Instantly recognizeable as a member of the Alien fleet, and not just because of the jewel bottle. The official note list claims this flanker should not smell of jasmine but rather lemon and orange flowers plus pink grapefruit; it is nevertheless very similar to the Alien signature jasmine blast, an end-of-days white floral. There is a similar slightly unpleasant sour-ish phase towards the very end of its development as in mothership Alien, but it doesn't last long and dries down to a pleasant wood-amber base.
All in all, It's a good daytime scent for Alien fiends like me, less imposing, with fresher notes yet unmistakeable with regard to its heritage. If Alien intrigued you but felt too heavy, I recommend testing this if you run across a sample. I half wish Mugler would decide to keep this in stock. It's hardly the fragrance of the year, but it's wearable, it's distinct, and it's pretty. Like a good flanker, this fragrance retains many of the original Alien's strengths, like longevity, sillage, and projection. It is an EdT legere but you really should be careful when spraying this to avoid death by white floral. One spray goes a long way.
