Mugler

Mugler Alien is an amber, woody, and floral eau de parfum for women, in the iconic refillable 60 ml bottle. Mugler describes it as a radiant and sensual solar goddess, built around jasmine, cashmere wood, and white amber. The violet bottle, cut like a gemstone, can be refilled.

What it smells like

• Top notes: Indian sambac jasmine, the solar face of the fragrance.
• Heart notes: cashmere wood, an enigmatic wood with a clear musk note.
• Base notes: a soft and enveloping white amber accord, which Mugler compares to white mohair.

Perfumer Dominique Ropion speaks of the strangeness of a trio: jasmine, cashmeran, and molecules evoking grey amber. Hence comes Alien's mysterious character.

How to apply it

1. Mugler recommends spraying a cloud of fragrance in the air and walking through it, so it settles on your hair and clothes.
2. You can then add one spray to each pulse point: wrists, neck, inner elbow.
3. Apply to clean, moisturized skin.
4. Let it settle on its own without rubbing it into your skin.
5. Start with a little: Alien is powerful even in small doses.

Mugler Alien Goddess is a floral, amber, and woody eau de parfum for women in a refillable 60 ml bottle. Mugler presents it as a solar floral bouquet, full of light. The golden talisman bottle can be refilled with the Alien Goddess refill.

What it smells like

• Top notes: Italian bergamot essence and a coconut water accord, an explosion of light.
• Heart notes: jasmine grandiflorum, the golden flower of perfume, alongside a heliotrope accord.
• Base notes: Madagascar Bourbon vanilla and cashmere wood, the warm final touch.

The brand says that the bergamot-coconut water duet brings aquatic, green, and fruity notes, while the vanilla has balsamic tones. The perfume was created by Marie Salamagne and Nathalie Lorson.

How to apply it

1. Apply to clean skin after a neutral body cream.
2. Spray on the décolletage, neck, and wrists.
3. Do not hold the nozzle too close to the skin.
4. Do not rub the area: let the jasmine and vanilla settle on their own.
5. Start with two sprays and adjust according to how close you want it to feel.
