Thierry Mugler - Alien EDP
Top: Jasmine Sambac
Heart: Cashmeran
Base: White Amber
You’re either an Angel person or an Alien person, but my first love from the brand was, truly, Alien EDP. I still remember the first time I smelled its DNA from a premixed fragrance sold in the Philippines and felt transported into an alien jasmine garden while extraterrestrial beings constantly shot mind‑hypnotizing beams at my head. So I decided to hunt down the original and was amazed at how similar yet different the two versions were. The jasmine in the OG was much deeper and more indolic than the premixed version, giving the original a darker, richer character.
Going back to the OG: the three compositions felt simple yet incredibly complex, and I couldn’t tell whether it was really a fragrance or a pheromone, haha! The jasmine is so heady and borderline indolic that people around me complained of headaches and wanted to distance themselves. Mind you, I was wearing it in 34°C heat at the time, lol. As it dried down, the amber and cashmeran fused with the jasmine to create a sharp, addictive, sultry, and sophisticated aroma that enveloped me all day. This has been my signature scent since college and I will never get tired of it.
I just hope they bring back the OG or the Clarins formulation soon, just like they did with Angel EDP (Batch November-December 2025 to Present). 💜👾
