As a lover of the original Alien... This did not work for me.

As a lover of the original Alien and musky scents, I was looking forward to this. Unfortunately, my skin chemistry does not work with musc mysterieux at all, all I get is the lingering animalistic note that on my skin smells like a sweaty armpit of a 50-something man in overcrowded public transport on a hot summer day. Very unfortunate. Glad it works for some other reviewers, though. At least some of us got to enjoy this one.

The Most Original Alien for Musk Fans

I love saffron and the spices perfectly highlight the jasmine. I actually received a compliment from colleagues for this. Probably also because the sillage is extraordinarily strong and the longevity is immense! I walked around the staff room and when I came back an hour later, I could still smell the fragrance in the room! Incredible! The cashmeran makes the scent very fluffy, warm, and soft... like a very soft pillow, and the vanilla is just strong enough to accentuate the amber and make it even more sensual and warmer. The musk is strong but not too strong and not too animalistic. And the presentation is truly out of this world beautiful. One of the most beautiful bottles and packaging I have in my collection. Reminds me of the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles. Gorgeous.

A Slightly Different Alien

Like many of my perfumes, I got Alien Musc Mysterieux from a staff sale at the airport. I first smelled it there 6 months ago but, for some reason, didn’t take it with me. I was deeply annoyed in the car, but I didn’t want to pay the full price of £115 in regular retail. Today, I was lucky that another sale was taking place. Since today was the last day of the sale, unfortunately, not much was left, and I only saw the tester of AMM. I was mega disappointed and was extremely upset that I hadn’t gone to the sale a few days earlier. While waiting in line at the checkout (just a casual 30 minutes in line), I spotted a shiny silver packaging on the side and instinctively reached for it. I could hardly believe it, but I had just snagged the last AMM. I, of course, took it with me for £50. What a bargain.

AMM is very different from many other scents I own. It is much spicier, more oriental, and more mysterious than many of my perfumes, but I liked it immediately.
You can definitely recognize the typical Alien DNA of jasmine and cashmeran woods, even though the scent needs a certain time to settle before you can truly identify this DNA. But it is definitely there. AMM is immediately much spicier, and I can definitely smell the saffron. The musk, to be honest, gets a bit lost for me; I can’t really pick it out. It’s too spicy for that. It is by no means as sweet as Alien, but the included vanilla allows for a certain sweetness that rounds out the scent. A wonderfully spicy, oriental, and animalistic fragrance that captivates the senses.

AMM is definitely something for those who like it strong and noticeable. The scent is very present, and once sprayed on, you can’t escape it. You stand out and don’t spare those around you from this fantastic scent. It lasts very long on me, but I generally find that such spicy-strong fragrances cling longer to me. I think it’s really great. A slightly different Alien. Although I think it won’t be for many. It is by no means another sugary water that seemingly every second woman wears. I think it fits a bit into the Tom Ford fragrance line, and anyone who likes Tom Ford scents should definitely check out AMM.

I’m glad I discovered it after all and look forward to adding this little treasure to my collection.

Alien - to new worlds

Alien "The Fragrance" has had more flankers and limited editions than Frank Sinatra has had comebacks. I actually found most of them better than the original Alien, especially since its popularity, when it reached its zenith, meant that you couldn't go into any bar or similar place without encountering one or two overdosed Alien users, who ensured that you definitely smelled nothing else once they had stood next to you for a while. The hype even led me one evening to ask two dimwits: "Which of you uses Alien?" - After a moment of silence for the extinct armored fish, one of them began to speak and said defiantly: "I do, why?" and I replied, "Four sprays are enough!" My husband asked me why the two were staring at us so intently after I had taken a seat three bar stools away. I said: "Guess the perfume, my hobby: And I was right!"
In any case, Alien The Original had become too omnipresent for me, similar to LVEB. I had once loved it. Over the years, I used Essence Absolue, summer flankers, EdT, and others. All good, but unfortunately great.
Recently, Alien Musc Mysterieux arrived on our planet, almost simultaneously with Alien Covenant "The Movie". I will watch the latter at some point, judging by the reviews, there's no rush. But AMM, I wanted to know right away.
And what does it do to me?
It takes me to another world, what else?
This time it’s an adult Alien world. I even suspect that there’s one or two oud notes that were swept under the rug in the fragrance description, because after a less sweet, but unmistakable Alien DNA in the top note, AMM develops towards heavy, oudy, animalistic. Too erotic for little girls, not sweet enough, hardly jasmine-like, saffron is recognizable, as are all the other spices of the souks and woods of the Orient. I hardly perceive the musk, I believe it only serves the function of guiding the desert scents into the oasis so they can settle down more gently.
Since the trend of adopting Arabic influences has started, even in the Western world, to use strong fragrances in summer, AMM is also wearable now. But not for those among us who use lemon waters to refresh themselves and not offend others with their scent. AMM is like the mother ship.
Always there, always close.
