What wearers say
“I had one of the OG editions of Alien as well as some of the more recent reformulations. Splendid Bronze is (to me) identical to the original formula! It doesn’t last a week as the OG Alien used to do but it does last the entire day (12+ hrs) with very strong production in the first 4-5 hours. On clothes it lasts for days!!”
“No projection at all but a bit of longevity (could smell it if I sniffed my skin after 2 hours + walking and sweating). At this point, it smells clean - cashmere, quite warm. If it had better projection I would buy it without hesitation at this price point.”
“This smells so much like Alien it’s ridiculous! I was trying a bunch of different fragrances in Zara, picked this up and put the nozzle to my nose and immediately thought, “omg, I know this one! This smells exactly like something I already know but I can’t put my finger on it”. I knew it reminded me of a Mugler fragrance but couldn’t remember which one. I searched for it immediately and had my answer - Alien is the highest upvoted similar perfume and it absolutely smells exactly like it.”
