Unusual fragrances, possibly even in "beast fashion", are great. But: for me personally, a fragrance also has to work in everyday life and a large part of my life consists of just that (yes - laaaa boring, I know ;)). That's why I've given up many a niche fragrance. Not because I didn't like them. There were simply too few occasions to wear them.

That's where dear Jette comes in with her fragrance. "Jette (Eau de Parfum) | Jette Joop" is not particularly complex, nor does it have a long-lasting finish or sillage. But it doesn't have to. For little money, you get a beautiful light, slightly powdery lilac fragrance that is not only perfect for the approaching spring, but also for everyday wear. How - lilac...? Yes, you read that right: I mainly smell lilac here. I sense rose more than I can actually smell it. Of the other notes, iris is still the most present. Then, unfortunately, "Jette (Eau de Parfum) | Jette Joop" is already gone and I have to spray it again, which is bearable considering the low price, just like the unsightly lid, the decorative ribbon always comes off when you open it. On the other hand, I think the bottle itself is quite cute. So if you're looking for a floral, delicate everyday companion, you should give "Jette (Eau de Parfum) | Jette Joop" a try.

Well, do you actually still know Facebook...? Exactly - this social medium, where once everyone was registered and now only your mother-in-law posts pictures of her rose beds ;) Anyway, there was (is..?) the relationship status "It's complicated" there. And that pretty much sums up my relationship to this fragrance. First of all: I don't know the original Alien. The first time I had a sample was around 2015. At that time, the fragrance was just terrible for me - too loud, too penetrating, too intrusive (interestingly, I found "Black Opium (Eau de Parfum) | Yves Saint Laurent" great - but that's another story). Well, maybe I just should not have sprayed half sample at once :-D No purchase candidate for me anyway.

After a long time, I was already active here on Parfumo, I smelled him then finely dosed (!!!) at a woman who stood in a queue in front of me. I asked her if she happened to wear "Alien (Eau de Parfum) | Mugler", she affirmed and was pleased that I had recognized the fragrance. And what can I say - it smelled great! Warm, sensual, full jasmine drone, light woodiness. Yes, it's sweet, but with "edge". Definitely recognize it and except for various dupes, I can't think of any fragrance that resembles it.

So I then bought a bottle to give "Alien (Eau de Parfum) | Mugler" a new chance. Various flanker I had at the time already. As a precaution, I chose a day when I was almost only outside, moreover, it was winter. Two sprays I took and that was almost too much. I really noticed the scent all day; on my scarf even longer. Please do not get the idea to spray "Alien (Eau de Parfum) | Mugler" in the warm season, this fragrance needs cold. Plus: at too high a concentration, especially in combi with heat, he may well cause headaches and even nausea.

To which occasions fits "Alien (Eau de Parfum) | Mugler" ? Well, there are fragrances that want to subtly seduce, discreetly cuddly and so on. "Alien (Eau de Parfum) | Mugler" is there more so the crowbar, if you understand. Thus, I would recommend the fragrance more for going out than for the office (unless you're targeting someone there ;)). Since this option is out for me, my "Alien (Eau de Parfum) | Mugler" is mostly in the closet. Let's see when I let it out again :)
