Citrus Alien

Unmistakably Alien and doesn't venture too far from the original. That said, the citrus notes serve to lighten this Alien up a bit and make it sparkle. The result is somewhat akin to what Angel Innocent is to Angel; same basic fragrance,but lighter and fresher.

While some of the of the Alien flankers seem specifically targeted for either warm weather (ie., the Sunessences) or cold weather use (the Liqueur and La Gout versions), I find that this strikes a good middle ground and to be very suitable year round. I see this as more of a daytime scent in the winter and fall and as a nighttime fragrace for the warmer months. I have personally found this to be especially delicious on a summer evening and thinks it's a great choice for a warm weather night out.

Bright, sparkling and odd Summery jasmine

This fragrance is obviously a lighter and fresher version of Alien. It is far more wearable in the warmer months than the original and it has a little more sweetness in my opinion.

The jasmine in Alien EDT is almost watery, whereas the EDP was much richer and more floral. I can't detect the citrus opening in the EDT either, however the mandarin orange, which is the only fruit I can smell in Alien EDT, tends to be subtle and sweet.

For some people they'll find this version of Alien much more wearable. In all honesty I agree, however I ultimately prefer the original because it seems to have more character and uniqueness.

The amber in the drydown is very soft. The overall impression I found was that Alien EDT was intended to be more feminine and inoffensive, in other words, more appealing to those that disliked the original Alien.

The lasting strength is moderate, lasting around four to five hours on the skin. I do recommend this fragrance, however if you own and love the original Alien, I don't see the point in purchasing the EDT too.

No. Just no.

There are fragrances that raise questions. Mostly in the sense that you generally like them, but the question remains: When should I wear this scent? Where, for what occasion? At a meeting with whom?

Alien, on the other hand, provokes a completely different question for me, and that is: Why? Why on earth is this intrusive powder monster impossible to get rid of? For years, you can smell it again and again, in the subway, on the street, on the saleswoman in the lingerie store, and since the first sniff, I have not warmed up to this scent at all. Alien is simply too much. Too much of...itself. When I smell Alien, I feel numb, distracted, but not in a positive way like many commentators do. The only thing you could praise about Alien, namely its outstanding sillage, is exactly what makes it my nightmare. It overwhelms everything around it. My sense of smell, and my good mood right along with it.

I say this reluctantly, but besides the sillage, the longevity of the fragrance is also exceptional. For anyone who likes it, that's a great selling point. I, on the other hand, feared after the first and last application that a regular soap would not be enough to wash Alien off without causing massive drying damage to my skin.

Furthermore, I have noticed that the people around me, whom I would credit with having good taste in perfume, find Alien just as unbearable as I do. I know, taste is (not) debatable. But "Alien" is for me the litmus test of whether I can even remotely understand someone's taste in perfume or not.

So to answer the question "Alien?": No. Just no.

It took a long time!

It took sooo long for me to finally approach "Alien." And to be honest, there was a time when you absolutely couldn't buy this fragrance. It was a real hype. You could smell "Alien" everywhere, at least 10 times during the day in the city center. It was unbearable.

And yet ...
There was something. Every time I subconsciously caught a whiff of this scent. Something I couldn't deny. Something I simply found fascinating. So different. Just interesting and great.

Here, opinions clearly divide. You either hate "Alien" or you love it. And now, as the hype seems to have calmed down a bit, I dare to say: I love it. I love it, as different and special as it is. Unlike anything I know. Untamed and completely unafraid of others' rejection.

After I had sniffed the ETP often and found the sillage a bit too heavy (and God forbid, yes, it really is intense, so caution is advised!), I decided on the EDT. The scent is almost identical, but not quite as overpowering. However, a cautious dosage is still highly recommended here!

No-Go.

For years, I have repeatedly heard about "Alien." A former colleague used to wear it, and somehow it smelled quite good on her. She generally had good taste in perfumes as well as clothing.

A few months ago, about 5-6 years later, I finally got the chance to test "Alien." A fragrance sample (the EdT version) was included in a magazine, and I could hardly wait. Full of anticipation, I took the sample, opened it, and sprayed it on my hand.
It didn't take long for me to realize that my expectations were disappointed..
Floral? Sweet? Not at all! It smells overpowering and intrusive, is too intense, even though that usually doesn't bother me, causes headaches, and doesn't wash off even after scrubbing with soap multiple times!
And this was not even a full spray. I can't even imagine how strong the Eau de Parfum is..

I am aware that tastes differ - thank God, it would be silly if everyone wore the same thing - but with "Alien," I find it hard. I could quote my boyfriend now, but I’d rather not. It should be noted that he finds it just as terrible as I do. And a few of my friends do too. (Sorry to the fans).

I would love to describe the scent, but I can't do that here. I couldn't pick out a single note. The only positive thing about "Alien" is the bottle. I really like it! The longevity is also above average, but that doesn't help me much since I find the scent terrible.

Some love it, others hate it. There seem to be only two different opinions about "Alien." At least, these are the only ones I have heard and/or read over the years.
I know my comment is not very helpful, but I really wanted to post what I think about it.
