The review
Worth a try. That is where Alien lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Alien.
Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Alien's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $33 per 100ml it costs 75% less than Alien — the 4th 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 Palermo Perfumes 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
What it is chasing: jasmine sambac up top, Cashmeran in the middle, white amber and woody notes underneath — the shape of Mugler Alien.
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.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 15 twins of Mugler Alien we can price, Alien is number 4 on price per 100ml.
