Mugler Alien Goddess

“Coconut water and jasmine on bourbon vanilla — Alien's gentlest flanker, none of the original's punch.”

Alien Goddess

white floral

The lighter, brighter 2021 entry in Mugler's Alien line — Marie Salamagne's launch, swapping the original's smoky-jasmine intensity for a coconut-water-and-vanilla freshness. Coconut water and bergamot at the top, a jasmine-heliotrope heart, settling on a bourbon vanilla drydown. A summer daytime fragrance.
