Mugler Alien Goddess ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 7 July 2021 21 Comments

Thierry Mugler will launch Alien Goddess, a new flanker to 2005's Alien fragrance, later this month. Alien Goddess is geared towards women under the age of 25, and will be fronted by Willow Smith.

Alien Goddess was developed by perfumers Marie Salamagne and Nathalie Lorson. The notes include bergamot, jasmine, vanilla and cashmeran.

Mugler Alien Goddess will be available in 30, 60 and 90 ml Eau de Parfum, and in a 100 ml refill.

Update: from Allure magazine...

The first idea [for the scent] came from the expression of a new femininity," explains senior perfumer Marie Salamange, who worked on the formulation with master perfumer Nathalie Lorson. "I really wanted to express something new through florals, but I didn't want it to be too expected." Salamange says she worked with coconut water and then added notes of jasmine grandiflorum, as well as Madagascar bourbon vanilla, to keep things light.

    ” Alien Goddess is geared towards women under the age of 25…” I wonder what happens when you are no longer 24.999 years old that makes this fragrance unsuitable?. Oh dear!

      I’m sure they are not carding customers. The vast majority of designer fragrances have a target audience in terms of age cohort.

      I hope it’s not that we become less goddess-ly at age 25!

        I think it’s that you no longer need external assistance to be goddess-y 🙂

      Perhaps one starts to realize that there are more interesting base notes than Cashmeran? ?

    I’ve been moving away from Mugler for a few years now. Trying to let them down easy, to spare their feelings. Now they are saying they broke up with me?! Lol!
    It’s a relief really.

      I think they’re just saying they want you to buy Angel and/or original Alien 🙂

      ? I was counting on you for a review, although I can’t wear Alien proper.

    If the target demo means this is a lighter Alien, I wouldn’t mind. I came close to buying Alien Absolu (something like that) but finally decided it was just too much.

      The last flanker Mirage, didn’t smell like Alien at all. I could only smell Vanilla and ambroxan. It is awful.
      Alien Aqua Chic is a lighter, more watery Alien, that still smells like Alien. It’s nice.

    The original Alien bottle reminds me of the character Ambassador Kosh from Babylon 5! This is like Lady Kosh. LOL. Adorable hubby likes cashmeran based scents, so I might try this if I see it. If I ever found one highly discounted, I would by it just for the bottle.
