Mugler Alien Man Fragrance Review: An Out-Of-This-World Autumn Scent

Alien Man is the men's version of Thierry Mugler's acclaimed Alien fragrance for women from 2005. As of this video's filming, Alien Man has not yet seen release in the USA, but is out in Europe.

[01:22] Part 1: Composition

Alien Man has a classic head, aromatic with herbaceous notes. However, it distinguishes itself from Dior Sauvage, Bleu de Chanel, and Armani Code.

Here, we find dill and aniseed (anis), reminiscent of, for example, smoked salmon and absinthe or pastis, respectively. A citrus burst then comes in the form of lemon, which then gives way to lavender.

The heart is my favorite part, with cashmeran blondwood, tea olive, geranium and birch tar. The cashmeran is a leathery, spicy warm woody note. Next, tea olive or osmanthus brings fruity musk.

Geranium and birch tar add a quality that is both floral and smoky or tarry.

Overall, it's smoky, woody and spicy, a tantalizing and mouthwatering heart.

The base brings sweet benjoin, and also musky labdanum. Finally, an earthy note comes in the form of patchouli. This all creates a white amber accord.

Most of the notes in this scent vanish rather quickly, unfortunately. Only a slight smokiness and sweetness are persistent, but you'll need a travel atomizer to refresh about every 2 hours.

[05:10] Part 2: Seasonality

Alien Man is perfect for this time of year, late September. It has both aromatic and spicy warm properties that suit the autumn very well.

[06:00] Part 3: Wake & Strength

Certainly, the wake and strength are not as good as I'd expect from a Mugler fragrance. It's got a tight scent bubble, short sillage, besides which it's short-lived all around. Overall, the wake & strength is a bit of a letdown.

[06:34] Part 4: Feedback

All in all, people are finding it quite pleasant. This is unusual for a Mugler fragrance, because they tend to be very divisive scents. The younger generation, especially, seems to be enjoying it.

Myself, since I was applying it fresh, I didn't get a lot of feedback on the base.

[08:24] Part 5: Impressions

20s is perfect for Alien Man, but those in their 30s may also find good results. This is a daytime fragrance, ideal for a hot autumn day.

It's generally a casual fragrance. But if you're a young guy in a really modern suit, you can probably pull it off at the office.

It would also work for a date, but it's still best suited as a daytime fragrance, when out on errands.

Alien Man is a moderately masculine scent.

[10:04] Part 6: Presentation

Firstly, the bottle's art-deco geometric design is incredible, in black glass with an indigo sheen. The black, monolithic look of Alien Man quite appropriately takes cues from Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Further, the bottle is refillable, a very nice feature that allows you to top it off at a retailer.

The atomizer is on the strong side, emitting a thick, narrow concentrated spray with a firm hiss.

As far as value, I picked this up for €50, that is, about $58-60 USD.

[12:45] Conclusion

The drydown and performance are something of a disappointment, short-lived and not very strong, which is uncharacteristic for Mugler. However, while it lasts, it's an intoxicatingly enjoyable scent.

Some will dislike Mugler's decision to make a more accessible, mainstream fragrance. But I think that this has potential to become a contemporary classic and stand apart with its unique head and heart.

I'm holding out for a reformulation to improve the base, but otherwise, it's a great fragrance.
