Alien Hypersense, launched by Thierry Mugler in 2024, is composed by Dominique Ropion, already the author of the original 2005 Alien Eau de Parfum. The house presents it as a rebirth of that founding juice, taking up its floral and woody essence to carry it toward a more intense expression. Cashmeran dominates the base, carried by Sambac jasmine and a fruity facet of green mandarin and pear.
Top
Green mandarin, in superessence, opens with a pear accord. The house describes a vivid citrus, almost edible, that awakens the senses before the flowers.
Heart
Sambac jasmine holds the heart, the only flower named, in what Mugler presents as a floralcy pushed to its quintessence, so floral that it becomes almost animalic.
Base
The base centers on Cashmeran, a warm woody molecule that the house links to hyper-sensuality. Wikiparfum adds a musk, an Amberwood accord and a driftwood note.
What the label declares
The ingredient list opens, after alcohol, fragrance and water, with benzyl salicylate and benzyl alcohol, sun-kissed and balsamic materials that carry the white flowers. Methyl anthranilate, hexyl cinnamal and hydroxycitronellal extend the announced jasmine; alpha-isomethyl ionone and coumarin pull toward the powdery and almondy.
Limonene, linalool and citral respond to the mandarin; geraniol and citronellol complete the floral palette. Two colorants, violet 2 and yellow 5, tint the juice. Cashmeran is not among those the label must name.
Other readings
Wikiparfum reads a top and heart identical to those of the house, but details the base: Cashmeran, musk, Amberwood accord and driftwood, where Mugler cites only Cashmeran.
What remains outside
The musk, Amberwood and driftwood from Wikiparfum are not confirmed by the house; they remain in prose, outside the retained notes. Amber is cited by no one.
