What wearers say
“This is a very precise dupe for Alien by Mugler, but better, more complex.The longevity and sillage aren't great, but for it's price it doesn't even matter.I'd choose this one over the original.”
“Its super cosy, romantic and dreamy. Its like alien but with intimate, more subtle aura and not as intense. Maybe a bit less magnetic, but has that addictiveness and is very sensual especially oh the dry down. I feel like its a more versatile version of alien, like a everyday alien appropriate for any ocasion. Its super cheep so I feel like if you like alien you cant go wrong, although you may be disapointed with weak projection.”
“i wouldn't call it appropriate for any specific season, occasion or time of the day, but that's what makes it so charming. it's meant to be simple, it deceives you, but it's really not at all plain. i feel like this one makes jasmine bearable to me, despite the fact that i can't get over it in its inspiration (read: alien by mugler). it's soapier, cleaner. it's the grape flavored vape which you love so much. weirdly fresh, despite the jasmine's supposed heaviness. really good, really similar to alien. i personally like it more.”
