They call it Gummikau on Xoataclukli
One of the first comments I read about the new "Alien Man Fusion" by Thierry Mugler was something like: "Smells generic, boring, lame, and like 95% of all today's new releases. Somewhere between Eros and Prada L'Homme." I could hardly disagree more vehemently! The original "Alien Man" was perhaps a bit too conventional and tame for an "Alien," which is why it never made it into my collection. But this fusion is definitely something special. A very curious, unique, and extraordinary scent. Everything but a bore. No off-the-shelf release. Demanding and crazy. And that's great in the gray-sweet jumble of the olfactory chemical laboratories of this world!
"Alien Fusion Man" is polarizing. That's clear. Either love it or hate it, it will certainly divide opinions. Is it a failed experiment or a bold taboo breaker? A nauseating scent or a one-of-a-kind signature? Trash or art? The age-old question, to which I still don't have a 100% answer. But I definitely lean towards a thumbs up. Simply because something is being attempted and dared again. That deserves support and a careful approach to such a being. Perhaps with a few more chances than for other fragrances. Extremely synthetic, extremely novel, extremely ballsy.
This deep blue alien hybrid is hardly identifiable. At least scent-wise. It starts with a slightly minty-dull cream, then at some point, there's a powdery artificial leather (maybe in purple?!) and later tipped coffee from Xanadu. "Alien Man Fusion" is a challenge, and I understand disapproving noses and even harsh criticisms. But I find it unique and remarkable. Closer to the angularity and "Fuck it!" attitude of "Womanity" than to its papal scent. For many, hardly wearable; for me, a real hit and Mugler. Experimental, radiant, otherworldly. Theme hit. Set. 1. With stars for explanations and warnings. Again: this chaotic alien will not please everyone, perhaps even the fewest. It can be off-putting and confusing. It has latex skin and Hubba Bubba breath. But it puts a smile on my face. At least when dosed discreetly. You don't smell a cinnamon osmanthus bouquet every day. And it's great that not all ideas are exhausted and all eggs shrunk in the designer sector. Now the audience just has to play along and at least respect this attempt. It doesn't have to be love right away.
Bottle: great sprayer, fine color, unique. Alien, after all.
Sillage: powdery, plausible, decent
Longevity: I got about 8 hours out of it. Even more, actually.
Conclusion: without a doubt an alien. This time more a mix of Thanos and the Blob. Requires getting used to and different. Bold. Hit or Miss. It works for me!

I can't really understand comments that say it's generic, especially the comparison to Eros.
