What wearers say
“This is a very close match to Alien, it’s undeniable. The longevity is just okay, but the initial blast is very convincing. It still has that kind of fuzzy, television static drydown DNA that I’ve noticed in several of the Dossier perfumes. Oakcha’s formulas seem to have that weirdo note as well. If you want a PERFECT match to the banger original Alien with intense longevity, I would highly recommend Brown Orchid’s Amethyst - just get it and thank me later.”
“I still have Dossier’s original Alien dupe from when it was called Oriental Floral 3 and it listed cashmeran and other notes that are completely gone from this current Ambery Cedarwood monstrosity. This is even worse than even the current formulation of Mugler Alien. Returning. I also have Dossier’s original Angel and I was planning to buy their current Angel dupe but those notes have been reformulated as well.”
“I took a bit of a risk on this one and was pleasantly surprised. Right off the opening I get mostly white florals, dominated by the recognizable orange blossom note. It's a bit sharp and screechy at the opening to my nose, but it opened up after the drydown into a nice woody scent complimented by the amber and white florals again. I would say that this leans more feminine, but I can see myself wearing this anyways. I think it would smell best on a spring day with flowers blooming outside. Not a bad fragrance by any means, just not my go-to.”
