Thierry Mugler has launched Alien Musc Mysterieux, a new woody oriental flanker to 2005's Alien fragrance. Alien Musc Mysterieux joins 2015's Alien Oud Majestueux in the Alien Oriental Collection, and follows the recently released Alien Eau Sublime.
An empowering, mysterious and intoxicating musk, tinged with a profusion of colors and contrasts in a blend of arresting spices. Jasmine and cashmeran wood give ALIEN its true signature, which is enhanced by sensual notes of vanilla.
This mysterious revelation is extended by the fragrance's vibrant, impossibly rich trail. An oriental creation encapsulated in the precious jewel of a white gold-tinged TALISMAN bottle.
Additional notes include saffron and white musk.
Thierry Mugler Alien Musc Mysterieux is available now at Saks Fifth Avenue, $170 for 90 ml Eau de Parfum.

I’m looking forward to trying this!
It’s only in Saks (in the US, at least) so I may never see it!
They had this last fall in Hudson’s Bay. Long sold out. I feel as if it’s a mid April fools joke that it’s being posted now.
Seems a bit rude.
Since every site seems to agree that this is a 2017 release, you may be confusing it with a different version of Alien in a similar bottle. Even so, I agree the remark does seem a bit rude.
It is just launching at Saks this week (and actually, saw it earlier when it launched at Selfridges at the end of March, but got it confused with Alien Oud Whatever and thought it was something I’d already announced so ignored it.)
Really? I just asked about it at the Bay in Montreal today and they had never heard of it. The women at the counter are long-time Mugler reps and if they had ever had it they would have remembered. What city did you see it in?
Definitely not confusing it with any other scent. They brought back the oud majestiueux and introduced the musk mysterieux as a collection.
Next year, get ready for the new men’s and women’s pillars. The men’s “M2” is most likely the long awaited “alien for men” and it smells amazing, but the new “W4” mythical for women is going to be a completely new pillar next to Angel, Alien and Womanity. They’re also done making a new Les Exceptions, but that’ll probably be half way through next year to launch.
It was in Toronto. Did you go to the Bay in downtown Montreal?
Nancyleandros, I’m not one to speak in order to please the ears, but it’s rather unfortunate you read my comment as rude, for I speak with an open heart. As a true Muglerian, I do tend leave those in my presence a little wide eyed.
I worked for Mugler, and they keep in touch with me often. The Paris and Montreal teams know me quite well and keep me informed ☺️ Toronto gets a lot of things that most of the world doesn’t regarding Mugler, and they tend to test them all out in Toronto before they launch elsewhere.
This scent may be extra “mysterious” to us musk anosmics! 😛
Ha!
Might well be!
I just read Candy Perfume Boy’s review of this earlier this morning, and it sounds good. I’m hit and miss on Alien versions, but it at least sounds like something worth trying.
I don’t get the copy:
An empowering, mysterious and intoxicating musk.
Additional notes: …white musk.
What???
Presumably there is more than one musk aromachemical, but yeah, white musk is not what I want to see at that price!
I can’t wait to try this! Doubt I will even see it though lol. I never even saw the oud one.
I have a Saks gift card burning a hole in my pocket…
Ha, those covetable TALISMAN bottles are a wee bit expensive, aren’t they? Should have asked the Easter Bunny to bring it. 😉
It has just arrived at The Bay in Montreal.
