Limited Edition Alien Mirage

Mirage is the intoxicating new Limited Edition fragrance from Thierry Mugler Alien.

A refreshing and yet bewitching scent, Mirage is a lighter incarnation of Alien but equally mesmerising and enchanting.

Described as a Floral Acquatic Amber, it is a captivating, sparkling fragrance that blurs the line between illusion and reality.

Captured within the same shaped vessel as Alien, Mirage has been transformed with a lightly tinted blue-grey gradient which radiates out through the multi-faceted, sparkling glass.

 The pale, natural hue reflects the aquatic freshness of the juice within and is finished with a futuristic silver and transparent detailing around the cap.

The fragrance opens with notes of spicy pink peppercorn, offering a somewhat masculine element to the scent.

 Heart notes of Lotus flower and seringa flower burst onto the scene, offering a floral lightness and depth before base notes of well rounded and wholesome hinoki wood combine with the smooth warmth of white amber to create a wonderfully refined and elegant fragrance.

I think I might actually prefer Mirage to Alien original thanks to its delightful freshness. 

The blend of complex notes somehow manages to retain all the bewitching and enticing elements of Alien but brings a lighter, saltier and dare I say earthier notes to a fragrance which is otherwise out-of-this-world.

Alien Mirage is available from Feburary 1^st and costs £59 for 60ml.

Alien has been captivating people with its mysterious and sensual scent since 2005 and its not hard to see why it has become such a fragrance icon.

A divine, distinctive scent for a confident woman, Alien captures the essence and passion of femininity with its multi-faceted notes and enchanting bottle that is out of this world.

Captured within a deep, rich purple vessel reminiscent of a precious stone with jewel like facets, its intriguing appearance invites you to discover the secrets within.

Alien’s intoxicating experience begins with notes of warm, soft mandarin essence before rich, floral sambac jasmine creates a bewitching, feminine tone.

White amber and cashmeran wood offer a hypnotic, spicy and seductive element that together, creates the mystical, powerful and enchanting scent that we have come to know and adore.

Any fragrance lover will know that moisturised skin retains a fragrance better than dry skin. 

If your skin is nourished and soft, the fragrance will linger longer rather than evaporating and thanks to the inclusion of a rich, fragrant body lotion you can ensure that your skin is not only perfectly primed for your fragrance, but it smells like the scent too.

Cocoon your body in softness with this lightweight yet rich body cream which is infused with the precious scent, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the hypnotic alien experience.

I absolutely love the 10ml refillable spray. Reminiscent of a magical potion or elixir in its crystal-like glass bottle, it is the perfect size for popping in your hand bag for on-the-go top ups.

Together, the trio allow you to fully immerse yourself in the inter-galaxtic experience.

Thierry Mugler Alien Fusion

 I simply ADORE Thierry Mugler and the fragrances he produces because they are so iconic, daring, eye-catching, captivating, ingenious and transcend anything else thats out there. 

Alien Fusion is the latest creation and it is every bit as daring and decadent, dramatic and flamboyant as its predecessors!

Fusion, as you may expect is a powerful and sensual oriental fragrance.

Inspired by a solar eclipse, this fascinating spicy floral oriental fragrance combines a flamboyant hot scent with an intriguing sensuality.

It is a complex scent lets just say that!

Lets first address the vessel, the bottle, whatever you choose to call it or when it comes to Alien, I like to refer to it as the ‘Gem’, in this case, a Ruby.

Its vibrant and brightly coloured glass is ever so slightly translucent and is coloured with an incandescent red, just like a precious ruby. 

It has been designed this way to represent the way in which the colour of a molten sun spreads a soft light of hope; essentially, the power of an eclipse captured in a bottle.

Bonkers but equally brilliant as far as I’m concerned and the scent itself is exquisite and complex and everything in-between.

The scent gets its name partly from the ‘fusion’ of hot-cold scents within the fragrance, making it a complicated but stunning scent.

There is an interplay of hot and cold contrasts throughout the composition where spicy and fiery meet gentle and sweet.

Top notes of warm ginger and spicy cinnamon fuse together creating a powerful and rich opening before tuberose offers a calming sensuality, eventually giving way to radiant orange blossom, the signature ingredient. It is at this moment that the hot-cold elements collide and create something very special.

The scent rounds off with opulent and iconic white amber which is intensified by the soft, mellow and warm notes of Madagascan Vanilla creating a fragrance which could essentially be a piece of art!

It takes a strong, powerful woman to pull off an Alien scent and Alien Fusion is no different.

Powerful, strong and dramatic it is a fabulous scent!

Alien Fusion is available now from The Fragrance Shop and costs £69.50 PLUS if you purchase now you’ll receive a matching red pouch.
