Alien kidnapped by vanilla & amber
In the fragrance community, flankers are iterations of fragrances that we either hate (and hope to love served another way) or fragrance that we love, transformed. Alien Essence Absolue is one of the most genius flankers to have ever been created, and it seems to be well loved across OG Alien haters and lovers. I, for one, am a die-hard Alien girlie, so when I finally got my hands on this discontinued beauty, I was ecstatic.
AEA smells just like my title lol. It’s the original Alien, but it’s been stolen away by a very deep, resinous amber+myrrh, and a boozy, dark vanilla. This dynamic duo take the intense jasmine of the original Alien, and soften her up without ever quieting her down. The cashmeran serves as an accomplice, and adds a soft woodiness to the base of a very sweet floriental. I also love how AEA holds onto that slightly medicinal and mystical Alien DNA, but sharpens the rough edges of it. It’s honestly magic.
AEA is a very glamorous fragrance that bows down for no one. It’s got excellent performance, and leaves an intoxicating bubble / trail around you. It’s truly perfect for the cold seasons and stays with you all day. The weather hasn’t been great here in NYC, and when I wore it this week, I fell in love with it all over again.
It’s OOP (out of production) now, so the prices for it are insane. But if you can get your hands on it for a good price, I highly recommend it. Big love.
