Mugler · Alien, Alien Man & Alien Man Fusion
With Christmas just one month away (what???), it felt appropriate to review a few fragrances that I’ve had hanging about but never got around to … until now. I personally enjoy having perfume options and what’s more, I’ve long felt that Mugler not only makes some truly original scents that come with a decent price tag, but the bottles are UNBELIEVABLY display-worthy too — also totally perfect for gift-giving, wouldn’t you agree?

There is no question that Guerlain is one of the world’s oldest and most venerable fragrance Houses, having brought us such masterpieces as Shalimar, L’Heure Bleue, and Mitsouko. Then in 1999, the brand went in another direction and launched the Aqua Allegoria range, a selection of fragrances that are meant to compliment some of their more opulent creations, but in a fun new way — and all inspired by nature, I might add.
