Advantages: unusual beautiful long lasting

Disadvantages: expensive out lay- but a refillable bottle combats this

this has become my signature perfume for the last year and it will no doubt be it for a very long time. I'm a bit of a new product magpie and went through many different brands and smells before this came to me. I had grown tired of the glut of average celebrity endorsed perfumes that were uninteresting and never pushed the boundaries. To the point where it all smeled the same. Alien just suits my skin perfectly and as many others have said it tends to stick around, which is handy. Although I have heard the use of silage as a description of this, I dont mind because I love the smell! Some have also complained that it smells like petrol, but this is most likely down to how it breaks down onto your skin. It's the reason I could never wear Angel by Mugler, smells divine on some people but awful on others (i.e me!).

The bottle is also a thing of beauty. The purple is a beautiful rich deep and is offset very well against the gold. It's flamboyant without being tacky! Mugler have done it again when it comes to an unusual concept in bottle design and it sits pride of place amongst my other beauty potions. People have noticed it and have been unsure what it was (one male friend asked if it was a penguin ornament!)

As a nineteen year old uni student i just wish it was cheaper! However i have recently invested in a refillable bottle, which is really bringing down its price.

Summary: an amazing perfume that everyone compliment you on, even when the bottle just sits on the dresser!
