The review

On paper, Alien is a strong bet if you want Alien for less.

Copycat Fragrances describes it with jasmine sambac — a different vocabulary from Alien's pyramid, so judge it on the votes below as much as the notes.

At $29 per 100ml it costs 78% less than Alien — the cheapest of 12 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Copycat Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on jasmine sambac, turns to Cashmeran, and settles into white amber and woody notes. That is the brief Alien is working from.

Top

  • jasmine sambac

Heart

  • Cashmeran

Base

  • white amber
  • woody notes
A single towering jasmine over glowing amber wood; loud, hypnotic and impossible to mistake.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
