<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nAll About the Mugler Company <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Alien perfume was created by fashion mogul Thierry Mugler. A few years ago, both Mugler\u2019s fashion and perfume brands were purchased by the beauty brand Clarins. Since then, L’Or\u00e9al has become the parent company of this brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All About Thierry Mugler<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Born Manfred Thierry Mugler in 1948, this Frenchman first launched his highly creative fashion house in the 1970\u2019s. In addition to designing all the clothes, he was also the creative director and advisor for the brand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
His designs were popularized for being unorthodox and all-inclusive. He worked with behemoth artists, such as Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Grace Jones, George Michael, and Beyonc\u00e9. All artists known for being unconventional in their own right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clarins Cosmetics purchased the company in 2019. Once they dissolved their fragrance division, Mugler fragrances were purchased by L’Or\u00e9al.<\/strong> While the company has changed hands a few times, it remained under French ownership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n His retirement from the fashion brand at age 57 didn\u2019t last long. In 2013, at age 65, he returned in the limited, but impactful capacity of creative adviser. Mugler\u2019s current creative director is Casey Cadwallader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mugler had a full creative life that involved classical ballet training, interior design training through Strasbourg School of Decorative Arts, his career as a fashion and fragrance mogul, and then rigorous body building in his latter years. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n He lived to be 73 years old. In January 2022, he died of natural causes in his Vincennes, Paris home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prior to his death, Mugler was heavily involved in the creative inception of his fragrances. He managed each fragrance project from start to finish.<\/strong> He had an innovative approach to selecting scents for his fragrances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Many Mugler fragrances have cosmic references, combined with his signature sky blue icon symbolizing a transcendence of the norms beyond the stratosphere, all while helping you tell your own stories.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Mugler\u2019s first fragrance release in 1992 was historical. It was the inception of the Gourmand scent category in the world of perfumery.<\/strong> The perfume was called Angel and was a peculiar blend of chocolate, praline, and patchouli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alien, Mugler\u2019s fourth fragrance, was released in 2005 following Angel, Angel for Men (1996), and Mugler Cologne (2001). <\/p>\n\n\n\n From the start of this branch of his business, Mugler would create variations of the same scent.<\/strong> For instance, Angel was followed by a more masculine version of the scent, called Angel*Men also referred to as A*Men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And the same holds true for Alien. A blend of woody, amber, and floral scents, jasmine sambac is the primary note. Still woody but more evolved, is Alien Man. It also touts notes of osmanthus flower and leather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mugler’s newest fragrance, released in 2022, is Alien Goddess. Lighter than the original Alien, the Goddess version is a blend of bergamot, vanilla, and jasmine blossoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each fragrance in the Mugler perfume range complements a well developed concept describing their customer base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Launched in 2015, Mugler\u2019s Les Exceptions Range is an imaginative reinvention of classic personal fragrances, making it a unique feature of this brand. <\/strong>A dozen scents selectively available an art deco glass bottles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mugler continues to be a prolific French fragrance brand under its L’Or\u00e9al parent company. L’Or\u00e9al hasn’t strayed from Mugler\u2019s out of the box approach to fragrance recipes as they continue to release new scents. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHarmony born from contrasts<\/a>\u201d sums up the scent experience of Mugler fragrances.<\/strong> They\u2019re created not only to be seductive and harmonious, but highly addictive as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each bottle is uniquely designed, often influenced by architecture. They\u2019re often prismatic, multi-faceted, and alluring. Some are streamlined and stately.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Regardless of bottle shape, you might be hesitant to discard the bottle once you\u2019ve used all of your perfume. Whether you’re a collector, or prefer to generate the least amount of waste as possible, there is an alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2007 Mugler presented the option to refill their perfume bottles. With the goal of more \u201csustainable luxury<\/a>\u201d in mind, there are in-store and at-home refill options for your convenience.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Store refills are probably the most sustainable option. Over 2 million boxes and bottles are saved. Close to 400 fewer tons of waste result from bottle refills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Another benefit to this perfume service is that if your spray nozzle and\/or cap are broken, you can have them replaced at the perfumery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can even register each refill for credit towards future purchases and other discounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Macy\u2019s, Bloomingdales, and Nordstrom are some North American department stores where you can find a Mugler Fountain. There are over 10,000 fountains in perfumeries worldwide. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Currently, only their three pillar scents can be refilled by fountain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If there isn\u2019t a fountain in your area, home refills are still more sustainable than discarding the bottle or buying a new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Home order refill options include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n After your refill container arrives, simply remove the cap and unscrew the top of your perfume bottle. Then place the nifty funnel included with your refill purchase inside the mouth of the bottle. Carefully pour in the perfume until your original bottle is full.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Screw the atomizer back on and replace the cap to prevent air from entering into the bottle<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Through this option, you\u2019re still reducing the amount of plastic, cardboard, and glass that might enter landfills by 52% and higher. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Alien was voted one of the top ten<\/a> most popular fragrances of 2021 by British retailer, The Fragrance Shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It came in at number four amongst many of the timeless fragrances that we\u2019ve come to know and love. <\/strong>Apparently, people have been gravitating towards the empowering effects of woody floral fragrances over the past few years. And this is one reason why Alien made the list. <\/p>\n\n\n\n No products found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like most fragrances, your body chemistry influences how this fragrance will smell when you\u2019re wearing it. If you\u2019re unsure of how this scent might work out for you, then you may want to purchase a small amount to start out with.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This set includes body lotion and eau de parfum splash.<\/strong> Although splashes tend to be less concentrated than eau de parfums alone, wearing both the lotion and the splash might intensify the fragrance. It may also last longer on you throughout the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A size such as this is also ideal for travel. <\/strong>If you carried both the lotion and fragrance, you would still be able to carry on more liquids. So if you already know that you love this fragrance, then you can purchase this set to have on hand when traveling<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Being that it\u2019s the least expensive option, you won\u2019t have to worry so much if something were to happen to your luggage, or if some of the perfume spills out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No products found.<\/span><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This 1 oz bottle is another option for either traveling or testing out how your body will carry this fragrance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you like pretty bottles, then this size would be a better choice than the 0.2 oz one mentioned in the set above. A 2 oz (60 mL) bottle<\/a> might also work out for you. I think the bottles look nicer the larger they get, which is typical of most fragrance brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even though these parfums are in a larger bottle, they are not refillable. <\/strong>So you wouldn\u2019t be able to go to a Mugler Fountain for replenishment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n == Check Price on Amazon ==<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n No products found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now we\u2019re entering into refillable bottle land. And this bottle is stunning. Larger Alien perfume bottles look similar to an amethyst stone. Elegant, in a rich purple hue, and often referred to by Mugler as a talisman. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019m not sure if the bottle has any special powers but its scent is sensually robust. Jasmine sambac is known to be a relaxing, pleasurable fragrance. Adding in musky cashmere wood intensifies the experience. Earthy and fresh white amber mellows out the scent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since this unit is refillable, you can enjoy the fragrance and bottle, and then use the bottle again, reducing waste. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n No products found.<\/span><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The eau de toilette version of Alien has a slightly different fragrance recipe. It\u2019s a smaller bottle that isn\u2019t refillable, but this gives you an opportunity to test out the scent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although this eau de toilette has a lighter scent than the eau de parfum version, its sillage is heavy<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Addition of mandarin is the primary scent note difference.<\/strong> This scent combination is slightly lighter than the original Alien. Some also suggest that this version is crisper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since it is less concentrated than parfum, the price of this toilette is usually lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n == Check Price on Amazon ==<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The new kid on the block, Alien Goddess, was just launched earlier this year (2022). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Back to refillable containers, this bottle is a golden beauty molded in the same manner as the original Alien parfum.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Amber Goddess emphasizes the warmth of the sun. It still has earthy undertones, but overall, it\u2019s a lighter fragrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Italian bergamot offers that crispness. Jasmine petals are still the heart of this fragrance – adding that floral element but with a tinge of fruity sweetness.<\/strong> Silky bourbon vanilla rounds out this comforting, sun-filled scent.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Being a 2 oz bottle, it\u2019s reasonable enough to try out the scent but also large enough for you to get a good feel of the fragrance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n == Check Price on Amazon ==<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Housed in a lighter pinkish-orange flacon, this eau de toilette was created to emphasize the beauty of uniqueness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Similar to the parfum and toilette versions of Alien, Flora Futura\u2019s heart note is jasmine. But this one doesn\u2019t have any wood notes. The top note is orange and white amber rounds out the base note.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Toilettes are less concentrated, so you may have to reapply at least once during the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMugler Fragrances Background<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
