Stinky, in a sexy way.

This is a stinky fragrance. A deep loin girdling fragrance. It’s filthy and carnal. Something to splash on (one spray) before enveloping a lover. Something to splash one (two sprays) to capture the attention of another.
There is no surprise in the fact that I love this. Every note listed is a note that I love. The spicy nutty opening stays for an impressively long time before giving way to the heart of the fragrance, and the barnyardy animalistic oud permeates throughout. The sillage is rather large, not something to be sprayed close to the face (for me anyway), but very captivating. This is very animatic in the dry down and for this reason could be polarising. But in this I find it powerful and energising in a hazy comforting, sensual way. This is a high 9 for me, it’s only not a 10 because even when sprayed on my inside elbow it is rather cloying.

Jasmine - smoky woody - earthy

This is not Mugler's debut in oud trend as he earlier launched several others in Miroir collections around oud but Oud Majestueux is an interesting flanker of Alien with resemblance to her mother in core, while the opening displays clear blast of deliberately chosen industrial oud that could have been made by Comme des Garçons to bring a dusty and rustic render to woodsy floral side of Alien. It's warm, soft animalic, and powdery dry floral plus some camouflaged cedar/jasmine duet in dry out.
3/5

Followed through all of Rome...

...by this Alien last January. It might sound a bit like a Dan Brown plot now, but I'm not Robert Langdon.

While waiting at Düsseldorf Airport, my family and I descended upon a well-stocked duty-free shop. Since I didn't want to leave a scent trail behind me on the plane, Alien Oud Majestueux ended up on a paper strip, and the strip in my jacket.

During the week in Rome, this soft and distinctive scent accompanied me: Vatican... mmmh, Alien. Trevi Fountain... mmmh, Alien. Roman Forum... mmmh, still Alien. Days later, on the way back, I was completely hooked. I could hardly wait to return to the Düsseldorf duty-free shop. I had to get it.

In retrospect, it turned out that it also suits me well on the skin. It is soft and floral, not as sweet as the purple Alien. Oud makes it more distinctive, but not in an unpleasant way. Just shortly after spraying, a slight medicinal note comes through, but it disappears with the alcohol. It can't completely deny its Alien family, but there are certainly worse lineages.

Alien Oud Majestueux has become one of my favorite fragrances for cooler weather, and I hope to enjoy it for a long time. Not just because of the lovely vacation memories.

When Aliens Incense Agarwood

When thinking of an alien fragrance, one might imagine the following things: aliens, pleasantly scented women, The X-Files (hmmm… Agent Scully…), an overall good scent. And then a flanker comes out that wants to hop on the oud train (or oud spaceship?) and somewhat diminishes a great fragrance line, well, that’s one way to think about it when you spray the scent for the first time. Fortunately, the fragrance settles a bit later and smells somewhat familiar, just with oud this time.

The scent:
Uuh, the scent starts off quite strong and piercing, almost musty, I would say. It has nothing in common with the original Alien. It is very spicy and begins with a robust mix of cardamom and saffron, with slightly sweet undertones. The mix also somewhat resembles coriander, which doesn’t smell great to me (and often reminds me of toilets,… alien restrooms…).
These piercing notes fortunately don’t last too long, but then another fragrance note comes into play that some love and others absolutely detest. Oud.
However, the oud here is not as extreme as some might fear and almost comes across as bright, but its scent is unmistakable. The jasmine adds sweetness to the fragrance, giving it the familiar character of the typical Alien line (just a bit less sweet). This makes it smell okay, but in my opinion, not quite as good as the other Alien fragrances.

Longevity and sillage:
The longevity on the skin is shorter than that of the other Aliens, lasting just under eight hours. The last hours are even quite weak. This surprised me a bit, as oud is often very long-lasting. However, on clothing, the scent is fantastic.
The sillage is very strong at first. But this impression quickly fades, making the scent more average. It will definitely leave a scent trail, but as mentioned, only for a few hours.

The bottle:
And another bottle that has been absolutely beautifully designed. This one seems to be a combination of Alien EDP and Alien Essence Absolue, as the lower part has many features of the EDP while the spray head resembles more of the Essence Absolue. The perfume liquid is golden/amber in color. The familiar Alien lettering, which is written once forwards and once backwards, is also visible on the front. All in all, a super bottle.

So, at first, I wasn’t thrilled with this scent at all. It started off way too piercing and intense and, moreover, not as pleasantly fragrant as usual. You need to have a little patience until the top note settles. Only then do you get the typically beautiful Alien scent, albeit with oud. If you don’t like oud, you probably don’t need to test this fragrance, even though the oud doesn’t smell as strong later on as it usually does. Those who like oud might be disappointed by the somewhat weak oud scent, but still find the fragrance quite nice, perhaps even better than my 70% rating here (I personally just don’t like oud that much).

The fragrance, like most Alien scents, is suitable for autumn and winter. It can be worn for leisure and also for going out. However, I might choose other Alien flankers for going out, as agarwood doesn’t always appeal to everyone… well, just give it a try.

In any case, Oud Majestueux is also a fragrance worth testing. As mentioned, if you have nothing against oud, you can’t go wrong with this scent!

Unfortunately, it won't work out between us...

I wanted to like it. Really.
It sounded so tempting...
But now that I’ve tested it, I know: unfortunately, it won't work out between us.

It’s a typical Alien, the Oud Majestueux, truly unmistakable. But unfortunately, it has this piercing note. Similar to the Eau Luminescente (my Alien headache candidate No. 1!) and similar to the Sunessence Or d'Ambre (not quite as brutal, but still headache-inducing for me).

I can’t really say who the troublemaker is here (for me); Jasmine, Cardamom, or Saffron, or if it’s due to the concentrated mix.
For a moment, I even suspected some Gardenia; whether such a note might also be playfully involved here - another nasty headache candidate for me. But that’s probably not the case here.
In the first hour, I can’t really differentiate what scent nuances are frolicking around. It’s a powerful conglomerate, anyway, that joyfully and playfully wreaks havoc, almost rampaging.

At about one and a half hours of wear, it becomes much more harmonious, the piercing note completely disappears, and Oud, Cashmere wood, and Amber become more pronounced.
From this point on, I find the scent truly wearable and pleasant - until its final disappearance about 6 hours later.
But unfortunately, by the time it transitions into the harmonious for me, my head is already rebelling.
And waiting each time to reach the very pleasant, fine heart and base is too much for me with the headache in between.

Regarding longevity and sillage;
Longevity is typical Alien - easily half a day, if not three-quarters of a day.
My test also took place while working, where I had my hands submerged in warm water with dish soap up to my wrists several times. Nevertheless, the scent held on tightly. I would hardly have had a chance to get rid of this Alien if I hadn’t persevered out of curiosity.
Sillage is definitely present here, but fortunately (for me & my colleague) it stays closer to the body after 2-3 hours.
As for the dosage; the TZ delivers decent amounts, so I assume 1 TZ spray means 1-2 sprays for the OF. That was absolutely sufficient for me, even to knock me out. *g*
For people who like this Alien, I can imagine 1-2 sprays being quite pleasant.

Conclusion:
I’m glad I participated in a sharing instead of ordering a bottle right away; my test TZ can stay, while the other will leave me by post today or tomorrow.

Regarding the rating;
Despite the headache, I gave it 50% because it really becomes beautiful in the heart and base... and because, despite my unfortunate inability to handle it (and it stubbornly lingers compared to other scents that fade relatively quickly), it’s an interesting fragrance.

Well then...
... now I’m curious to hear what you think of the new Alien. ;)
