Wondering if I should try any of the flankers as a blind buy? It was sharp and overwhelming with that distinguishable sweet scent that's called "salt" these days. Essence Absolu is the jewel though. ", Olympa and Alien combined together and watered down to make it the perfect fresh and airy summer perfume. It's a perfect 10/10 for me and I'm so happy to have it in my collection. Perfect for summer/spring but I do think that its suitable for every season + every occasion. Beautiful!! I cant detect any Alien dna at all. To me its a aquatic flancker of Olympea by PR. It can surprising. Very good for springtime. Cant recommend. It reminds me of like some kinda sensual Nepal shop or something. Its lighter and smells a bit like aloe or cactus. I bought this for $30 on sale so no mayor regrets for the price. Sample before buying because this is not for everyone I think. Beachy version of Alien with no jasmine but still warm and sexy, yet a bit fresh on the opening. The drydown is sweet and alluring and, as expected with eau de toilette, does not last long. This is for me the best Alien flanker and I'm so happy I have it. I totally blind ordered this because I like to collect Aliens.

Press J to jump to the feed. Be respectful, inclusive, and don't cause needless drama. It has a fresh a little bit like an egg smell. Matches perfectly with the bottle. I wore this on a cold day this week and had a faint reminder of the original Alien, a mirage of the OG. So glad this was only a sample!

It's so different from anything else I've got in my collection, with this lingering amber note that I just adore. Very interesting and nice but doesnt compare to Alien which I think is flawless, Was Flora Futura a good blind buy?

To me it smells like a very light, simple jasminey floral. Smells cool and fresh and lovely. Maybe it's one you already wear or love, or might it be the one your friend loves. Omg this is absolutely beautiful and addictive! Projection is pretty good, it wont fill a room however people aground you will smell it. But today during a walk while smelling my wrist obsessively (lol) it suddenly occurred to me! I havent smelled the milder ones or knew they existed since I havent thought about Alien in some time. I'm a huge Alien fan, I have6 different versions of it? I'm buying a back up bottle of this for sure. I've struggled to describe Mirage. I'm surprised I like this one as much as I do, because I don't tend to like 'fresh/green' perfumes. It's an odd combination of a non-descript metallic/mineral note and heavy "cold" MUSK. It takes time and effort to find your new scent love. Bottle is absolutely beautiful. Idk if others are smelling something that I just don't or what. I do like the new Aura tho, i love alien and all its flankers!! Images are for illustrative purposes only and are not indicative of sizes available. I purchased the mens version for my husband and that one is lovely as well. On first spray your mind goes "white floral 'x'," you know it's a white floral but you can't place which.

Im going to hoard them if I can.

The scent is addictive. A woman wearing Alien edp, sitting at the beach on a cold stormy day, eating cucumber salad (Sunnydai, totally agree!) I like Mirage a lot and cannot smell Extraordinaire or Futura on my skin at all after about an hour . This email address is already registered. It has a soft amber ans powder dry down. The way they taste like and even change the texture of the water, is exactly how the mineral note in Mirage smells like and even changes the 'texture' of the smell! Eau Extraordinaire is beautiful & fresh. I dont smell anything floral or woody. The aquatic vibe was also surprisingly attractive to me. This should have gotten so much more attention, and been marketed much better. @ Matthra , your review is perfect , I feel identical to your thoughts.

I love the original Alien and have been nursing my 1 oz bottle of Alien Essence Absolu- it's discontinued and hard to come by. Lovely mineral and lotus notes on my skin. Weird! This is a beauty that lasts for most of the day. It has an off putting salty, metallic smell, like walking along the beach and as the tide subsides finding a nickel, picking it up and smelling it. I hope it will work in the summer. Here though, we have very 'tropical' types of flower, I cannot say I know what syringa or lotus smell like so that is the best I can offer. This is definitely Aura light or an early version of Aura.

Fluffy is the correct word to describe this feminine new scent by Mugler. Longevity excellent stayed all day on my hand even after shower. Its not love but a strong like! Upon first sniff, I wasn't as keen, but to date I am in love. Its definitely much sweeter than I was anticipating, which for me is a huge plus. The longevity is pretty good, 6 hours at least before starting to become a skin scent. Honestly I wasnt expecting it to be as perfect as it is. Please enquire if you need to confirm the exact packaging we have in stock. Eau Extraordinaire, Eau Sublime, Flora Futura.. they all sound lovely. Simply put: smells like a daytime version of alien + cold vanilla. I absolutely am in love with Alien Essence Absolue, though. In love with this scent and I cant wait to wear this in the Summer months.

Let me start off by saying I love Alien and its many flankers. Salvador Dali Laguna or Laguna Maravilla on the elusive diluted Alien Base.

I will enjoy my bottle, undecided as to whether it's worth the splurge to purchase a backup. But I love this perfume. of the original Alien DNA. If you are in South Florida, I would be glad to exchange it for another fragrance, I have a whole bottle 60 ml in the original box. Mugler as a swanky upscale office where everything is white marble/glass, and you can't fathom how they manage to keep everything clean and shiny. Really strange and unlike anything Ive smelled before. Shipping fees are non- refundable and will be displayed during checkout, before you submit for payment.

Just very unique and rare. To me it's oddly fresh n stale at the same time but it doesn't last five minutes. I have Alien which I love, and Flora Futura which was a blind buy that I like but havent worn much since its newer and I think more appropriate for warmer weather. It's easy to love, slightly sweet, a bit salty, soft alien dna and what I like to refer to as a bit of cotton blossom by bath and body works thrown on top. It's somewhat futuristic, if you can call a perfume that. Just not what I was looking for. Today I just managed to find a backup bottle payed 44 that I've been hunting for months. Im happy I ignored all the negative reviews and decided to blind buy this. Out of curiosity, what is the issue with mirage? I have Alien Essence Absolue and this is a way softer version of it. For those of you that blind bought and are disappointed and love the original Alien, try laying the two, the smell is really beautiful and is my preferred way to wear it. Has a watery sweetness like wet fruit and a sparkly mineral note. Yes there may be some other pretty notes that emerge later but they feel very forced, like trying to make the mineral metallic something that resembles perfume. The mineral notes don't stand out to me, I mostly am getting a soft clean oriental floral blend. It's just SO unique. This version seems to be rather soft with moderate sillage during the first hour but it's quite persistent which makes it an interesting alternative for spring and summer. I like it but won't be buying a full bottle, I find it very sharp to my nose, as all the Aliens are.. It has the familiarity of OG Alien but it really does smell like being stood on a stone beach by the ocean. I detect lotus, some "white flowers" and nothing metallic. Marissa Zappas Announces A New Collection + A Giveaway! For me this was so nostalgic as it brought back memories of being a little girl and having a glass of cold crisp tap water on a hot day after walking to my Grandads house. Flora Futura is a nice no-brainer for the springtime too. The real questionwhat is a 'mineral' note? Terrible! I get mainly bergamot, but Ive read reviews saying its also got tea. Have you ever smelt tap water from lead pipes in an old house? Modern and summery. Please contact us for a return label. It's great in an heat wave since it leaves some sort of cooling and fresh scent and not overly cloying you with sweetness. I personally am not a fan of sunscreen or tropical leaning aquatic notes, and this seems to be more of a freshwater aquatic. I actually like this more than original Alien. This is a clean version of alien with the addition of a cold vanilla. It's 95 degrees today and this scent is a delight. I get none of the pepper or the wood, just a beautiful breezy beach scent with flowers - salty and cool and sweet. | | Nederlands | Srpski | Romn | | | | |, Copyrights 2006-2022 Fragrantica.com perfumes magazine - All Rights Reserved - do not copy anything without prior written permission.

I don't have the original Alien, so I can't really speak on how well it shows its DNA, but if it's anything like this, I'm sure I'll like it.

It's a crisp, clean version of Alien. It's similar to original Alien, a bit more aquatic fresher and white floral version when opening. At first, smelling this from the bottle I was disappointed because it seemed like a less juicy 'Womanity,' not at all what I was expecting. Not for me, don't want to smell like any of that. I'm guessing it's the white Amber as that is the only common note? They need to bring it back. I put off buying this fragrance for a long time due to the bad reviews, well I found it online for a good deal and decided to give it a go. My favorite of the lighter/summer flankers is Eau Extraordinaire. And the scent is beautiful. I was so excited when I saw this beauty in Debenhams (UK). I thought the original Alien smells like root beer! Mirage is different. Alien Mirage doesn't seem to have the Alien DNA, it might have as well been launched as a separate, new addition to the Mugler family. It lasts all day on me too. Its weird that this didnt get more hype, I love it. We encourage exploration, independence, and informed discussion. It adds a bright tea/citrus opening and a creamy taire/orange blossom in place of the jasmine. Create an account to follow your favorite communities and start taking part in conversations.

It reminds me of waterfalls and aquatic flowers. This is that genre done right in my book. I have Eau Extraordinaire, Future Flora, and Mirage in addition to the original EDP and Mirage is hands down my favorite flanker of the three ALTHOUGH I think it smells least like the original so perhaps not a safe blind buy (although it was for me!) It did not have a tester so it was a blind buy. Its light but longlasting also sillage is not bad at all! All fragrances are 100% Authentic with money back guarantee. It's taken awhile for it to warm up to me but I'm starting to enjoy it after having it a few months, it's an odd ball, but what else do you expect from this house? It is not an unpleasant smell though.

I have the original Angel, I like it sometimes, in cold weather of course. Please note, we do not accept returns for testers (if purchased). On my skin I get a watery airy watermelon for some reason. The first time I ever sprayed this when I received it, I wasn't sure about how much like Alien it was because I was surprised by the mineral smell, but now I see the connection with a pretty strong white floral presence, even if it's not jasmine (at least comparing to the current L'Oreal formulation). I will definitely repurchase when I run out! I prefer it much to a lot of similar scented perfumes, great quality ingredients, well blended. Love it, love it, love it! Not into florals but the woody and aqua notes makes a great concoction of sensualness.

For me it's a bit more tame and wearable, more of scent for a bright, sunny spring day. Its like a lighter version of Tom Ford Orchid Soleil(even though no similar notes) Ive not smelled Lou Lou Blue yet, apparently this is very similar, I get Orchid Soleil and Donna Karen Cashmere Mist, mixed. Weird, I can not describe it, i can not find any similarities. Out of all the flankers I own, this strays from the Alien DNA the most. Well this is nothing short of a joy to wear on a nice sunny day like today. too nice and too boring sadly. This could be worn in the spring or summer easily. It smells like spoiled fish or a beach after storm (if you live near ocean or sea you'd understand what I mean). Ive never smelled the original Alien or any other flankers. Reminds me of Olympea and I really dislike Olympea personally.

A sense of humor helps. This is very airy, as if you were floating in the air or swiming in calm and crystal waters or both at the same time, I don't know exactly. The Syringa ( mock orange flower) note is realistic to a cross between a jasmine and orange blossom. Questions? No exciting notes, just lots of heavy(ish) vanilla powdery scent sitting on my skin for 6 hours. But once it's out of the bottle, it transforms into unisex lotus. I was very hesitant to buy this without testing after reading all of these reviews, but I was up late and saw a partially used bottle from a US seller on ebay for a freaking steal so I went for it. Im not sure why its so polarizing, its definitely stronger and more intriguing, but its smooth enough to not be off putting. Peculiar little floral, almost metalic, with a load of boring old amber in it like every other new release lately. I dont smell much (if any?) Okay, well, I tried Mirage, although in my review of Alien Goddess I said I wouldn't bother. It is pretty and feminine with that special alien twist. I was excited to try it on but when I first sprayed it, I felt a wave of nausea and had to scrub it off immediately. Its like kenzo world power/olympea but less sweet, more salty and I really like it. I've had it on for 5 hours and it's now a skin scent. We are here to help.

The Hinoki wood is very different from the usual Cedar, cypress notes used in many fragrances fragrances trying to depict a fresh woody depth. Im looking at some of the flankers online and a few seem light fresher and lighter versions of Alien. Im truly a novice at describing scents however this truly is pleasant and refreshing. I am an overall Alien fan. However I find it too flat and boring (as well as Alien). Yes is it. I saw it at Macys sprayed it on and then ordered it from Mugler's site. I blind bought it basing on the notes listed and reviews. Good for the beach only I would say or maybe to do the gardening. Lotus is one of the notes I steer away from. This is a lot more rich, creamy, and sweet than I thought it would be, but also like if you were to through some sand in as well. Mirage is a good name for it. the only fragrance in my collection that i have a ton of flankers of that are all kinda different that i wear all of and would individually buy if they were all completely different perfumes (and not just cute lil alien bottles lookin cute on the shelf together). It slightly sweet and savory and is great for Spring and Summer. I got this as a sample when I ordered the new Angel flanker (I'm becoming a collector, apparently), and fell in love with it. Sorry Mugler this is a BIG miss. I dont think most Americans know this term What is Chav culture? I'm enjoying this so much as an alien flanker. Salty floral aquatic that is far reaching and long lasting. Very gorgeous!! I accidentally spread this on my fingers today ( okay folks I dont like Alien , you are prevented , but I have been attracted by the bottle and the name ) .

This was a wonderful find on perfumeonline. The bottle although is very nice. The perfume is so divine and slightly mysterious. The moderate Woody-Lemony Cypress note gives a nice Earthy vibe as well. Try this out in person before buying.

But the projection is weird, I definitely get a strange sharp note that I can see where it got its name. Not swampass freshwater like a pond, but maybe like a spring, with fresh cypress like notes, and a very interesting floral that I associate with a lotus. It ties together beautifully, and I havent smelled anything similar. Lasts long in my skin. I haven't got a chance to smell much of the Alien flankers, I've only smelt Alien Fusion which smelt almost exactly the same as the original. We are a highly rated company and offer hassle-free returns.

I havent tried the original alien, but I have a sample of flora futura. Not very happy with it. It has this wonderfully cold crisp taste and smell with just a hint of sweetness, and that is exactly the vibe the mineral notes give this perfume to my nose, it really is quite a unique scent in that sense. I would encourage everyone to sample it if the opportunity arises. Any thoughts on Alien or any of the flankers? Sweet and floral, but it mophs almost immediately into Olympia. Its not laundry, soapy fresh, to me it almost is like cold spring and mineral fresh. Its got the beachy aquatic notes but its also floral. It's pretty unique and smells like a very distant cousin of Alien. This is so good on me with fantastic longevity and very good sillage. Please read the Terms of Service and Privacy policy. The colour of the bottle and the promise of aquatic freshness did it for m. It does what it says, but as others have said is not very Alien-y. On the skin however, it is nothing like that one - not like original Alien either. I received my bottle of Alien Mirage today and despite reading so many reviews I was still totally surprised upon first spritz! This one has a beautiful mineral note that reminds me of water, in the same vein of Hermes Un jardin sur la Lagune. Im not doing this scent any favours with my description but I cant pin point what I feel about it other than love it. Perfumeonline is not responsible for any delays caused by the shipping carrier company. Shipping and handling charges are non-refundable unless we shipped the wrong/damaged item. So pleased to have finally found it here on perfumeonline! I absolutely think that its much more of an aura flanker , especially Aura sensuelle minus the green note minus the spicy cinnamon. I think this is best worn during the Spring & Summer. Maybe you're on the hunt for a new designer fragrance love? I can smell the lotus but the other ingredients are just blended together.

Its very comforting and pretty. Please allow up to 7 business days for a full refund. It's like the summer version of Alien. The sweetness seems like a crystalline sugar, with a hint of vanilla. I really like this flanker! I can almost smell the sun heated rocks on the beach. The pepper just add more punch to that genius perfume. Definitely my favorite flanker from the Alien line. I think this is a safe blind buy, it isn't as unique, wild, or distinctive as other Mugler scents, it's more or a crowd pleaser. For me its a summer iced tea. Saying that, it is heavy, but it isn't as in your face as essence. I bought this back when it came out, in February or March. Our image may differ from what is sent. I love it. If you love Alien EDP you will not like and surely not love Mirage. Please enquire if you need to confirm the exact packaging we have in stock. Email Contact :info@perfumeonline.ca. What is mineral supposed to smell like? Im sure this bottle wont last me long and the bottle itself is lovely to look at. It's beautiful. Mugler as a icy Scandinavian knock-out, with her naturally ultra light cool blonde hair in a perfect bun. If I had to pick one flanker though for life it would be Alien Mirage, with Fusion in a close second. I really cannot understand why anyone would want to smell like this, when there are so many amazing other Alien and/or Angel flankers.

Going to swap methinks!! This is like a lighter, tropical version of the original Alien.
