Alien Eau Sublime: When the fairy takes hold of sweetness When the explosive Alien seized Thierry Mugler’s perfumed planet in 2005, its extraordinary warm, floral and woody facets shattered clichés.
Alien is a perfume that came into being in 2005 and that made just as much of a mark with its fragrance as with its bottle. A sort of purple extraterrestrial, it did not fail to surprise the public with its dark, angular facets, enigmatic and seemingly straight from another planet. In 2017, Thierry Mugler now offers a new version of this best seller. It is called Alien Eau Sublime. Let us take a look at the bottle of this new woody and already wildly addictive perfume.
The importance of bottles for Thierry Mugler
Since his beginnings, Thierry Mugler has been recognized in the world of fashion and perfumery as a particularly bold and highly creative figure. In fact, he seems to have possessed this unconventional side of his personality since his earliest childhood. Indeed, he likes to explain that he has always been seen as a gentle dreamer with his feet on the ground but his head in the stars. So, while he delights in creating perfumes that are always highly harmonious, Thierry Mugler never neglects the appearance of their bottles. In fact, for him, the container almost becomes more important than what it contains. Proof of this: in 2013, Thierry Mugler decided to sell bottles of his perfume Angel in 25 ml, empty! The goal was for customers to fill them as they wished at perfume fountains available in 2200 stores in France. The idea seemed quite bold at the time, but it must be said that the public responded, since Angel generated 44% of its revenue in France through this unique system. As one can see, with each of his perfume creations, Thierry Mugler pays particular attention to the design of his bottles, and the new Alien Eau Sublime will prove no exception!
The appearance of the new Alien Eau Sublime
Far more than a simple bottle, the container of Alien Eau Sublime is a true jewel, drawing inspiration from the sculptural, precious shape of an amethyst. This time, however, it has traded its former purple color for a more golden hue, as if to better spread the light of this new bewitching juice. The whole is cut like a jewel, and its irregular yet symmetrical facets make it a true technical feat. The whole still carries a touch of mystery paired with a deep sensuality as well as a sharp sense of luxury. In fact, as if to protect the aura of this bewitching perfume, four gold claws grip the stone of Alien Eau Sublime. Its name, meanwhile, is inscribed on the back of the bottle, engraved twice in succession vertically for a result resembling an enigmatic formula that Thierry Mugler invites you to decipher without delay.
