Alien Mirage: The new, very floral Eau de Toilette from Thierry Mugler In 2019, Thierry Mugler's Alien fragrance made quite a splash, introducing its new face of the campaign: British model Jourdan Dunn.
The house of Thierry Mugler's second great fragrance, Alien was born in 2005, thirteen years after the iconic Angel. Its ambition? To propose a vision of the solar woman, like a true modern deity, flooding the world with her benevolence. Rich in intense emotions, Alien was presented to us in a bottle resembling an amethyst. Today, as is often the case, it reinvents itself and reveals its beauty in a new limited edition. In 2020, Thierry Mugler gives birth to Alien Mirage, a very floral Eau de Toilette, conceived as an ode to the creative force of every woman. Thierry Mugler sets the scene: In the vastness of the scorching desert, a mirage after the storm comes to seize us with its freshness, giving life to an extraordinary flower, carrying a message of hope… But then, how does this translate in terms of its olfactory pyramid?
Alien Mirage, a mineral and spicy start
Much more than a standard fragrance, Alien Mirage by Thierry Mugler delivers a strong message and invites the woman who wears it to refocus on herself, as if to rediscover her primal instincts. Drawing inspiration from this, Alien Mirage takes us back to the origins of the earth and opens with mineral top notes. As if to seize our senses and capture our attention, the dryness and purity of its mineral notes are swept away by a hint of pink pepper. This spice immediately warms the fragrance and gives it more temperament. The woman who wears the Alien Mirage Eau de Toilette is full of spirit and enjoys being noticed!
Along the way, it should be noted that the pink pepper used by Thierry Mugler is carefully selected and sourced from an eco-responsible supply chain, promoting fair compensation for producers and work carried out under fair social conditions.
Thierry Mugler opts for a heart of tender flowers
In its heart, Alien Mirage gradually becomes more luminous. The sun seems to rise over it, offering a cheerful and contemporary scent. This is the moment when the mirage revelation announced by Thierry Mugler comes into play. As if to reveal the femininity of the woman wearing this fragrance, Alien Mirage combines mock orange flower with lotus flower. The result is a tender and generous scent. Here, Alien Mirage seems to carry within it a renewed freshness and slightly crystalline reflections.
The woody base of Alien Mirage
Gradually, the intense luminosity of Alien Mirage gives way to a much woodier and ambery base. Here, hinoki wood dominates, a fact rare enough to be worth noting. Rarely used by perfumers, this raw material comes to us from Japan. Here it releases a scent close to that of cedar, with a balsamic and slightly camphorous or aromatic breath.
Very surprising, Thierry Mugler's Alien Mirage fragrance plunges us into the vastness of the scorching desert, like a mirage after the storm coming to seize us with its freshness, giving life to an extraordinary flower, carrying a message of hope.
