Thierry Mugler Alien Eau de Toilette 30ml Spray Face Oil Bergamot and mandarin open crispAlien opens with a jolt of cashmeran wood and amber that creamy, almost edible warmth before the jasmine slides in and turns the whole thing slightly animalic. It's the fragrance that made people ask what you were wearing in 2009 and still does now. 30ml EDT spray. Four sprays from skin carries into the evening; reapplies cleanly mid afternoon if you want the lift. Skip if you prefer florals that apologise for themselves.
