    That's actually a much tamer image than the one they used launching it, which was purpley-violent and possibly tentacled? I just remember it looming in Selfridges.

    When I tested it, it smelled like this: BAM! Tiger lily pollen, green/jasmine/vanilla, marine.

    The BAM! is because it is powerful strong at the start, my friends -- much like Angel (which I hate). The tiger lily pollen is suffocatingly rank, the middle stage nice, and then the end is weirdly unearthly, like atomized seawater.

    Not that this has anything to do with the mermaid Valkyrie with the Opera House hairdo.

    this fits with mugler's aggressive non-traditional thinking about perfumes. as i understand it, angel was the first women's perfume on the market that wasn't based on flowers, but rather drew from oriental flavors, as i understand it.

    i like that it's not a girly, whispy, wimpy name.

    Lou Dobbs would not approve. We should not be promoting illegal aliens as being extraordinary.

    Is that alien perfume you're wearing? Because you smell out of this world.

    I'd totally buy it if I bought any other perfume than the one I know doesn't make my nose itch like the worst of pollen season. But, the name doesn't even come near the best perfume name ever:

    Hm. I tend to think of nightmarey creatures with acid for blood bursting out of John Hurt when I hear the word 'Alien'. Wouldn't want to put that behind my ears.

    I can't honestly speak to how "Alien" smells, but right now I'm wearing "Cologne" by Mugler, a delicious citrus unisex with grassy notes of vetiver and it ROCKS.

    @TRexstasy: Either Lucia Turin or Chandler Burr (I forget which) described it as smelling like like a dapper man, metals and meteors - so it always makes me picture Ziggy Stardust. It's one of my favorites too.

    I love the Star Trek colognes;
    Pon Farr - "Drive him wild"
    Tiberius - "Boldly Go"
    Red Shirt - "Because tomorrow may never come" - my favorite tag line.
