First of all, cactus flower is the flower whose smell I like the most. Therefore, I bought this perfume without smelling it. I have no regrets. It has a wonderful floral scent. Perfect for spring. Those who love floral scents should give this perfume a chance. Also, the bottle is very stylish.

sole182

Wanted to love it. I'm in love with Alien EDP and Alien Eau Extraordinaire. But Flora Futura just isn't it for me.

Dcosby23

I wasn't sure about this one on first spray. The opening is pretty sharp from the citron and floral, but the drydown made me fall in love. It's a soft, powdery ambery cloud that drifts around for hours. I wouldn't call this a safe blind buy, but definitely worth testing.

fyre92

Melon ish watery white and pink floral fresh(you know exactly what I’m describing) citrus, vanillin, sandalwood and classic alien dry down with a green twist. The green twist is a light version of the green in aura. This has presence and longevity. Get them while they are cheap.
You see what happens to all the other muglera. They go POOF 🌟 and become hard to track down.

NOT LIKE EAU EXTRAORDINAIRE which was pencil shaving, citrus heavy with a smidgeon of alien at the bottom.

Szilvita

I actually bought this by accident in stead of the original EDT. It went a little fast and I didnt notice "flora futura" underneath "Alien" right away. Just that it was alien EDT.

Disappointed but yet also a bit happy since it seemed like a more wearable version for me. The reason why I chose to buy edt for myself.

I like this. Very pleasant, but unfortunately also very weak, especially considering it's a Mugler perfume and I used like 4-5 sprays today! It's one of those I can't really smell on myself shortly after applying. It's kinda there, but yet not. As it develops, I faintly get hints of it, but that's It. No idea if others can smell it on me.... No comments yet.

It's far from the power and scent of the OR EDP.
I understand the comparison with aura sensuelle. Didn't come up with that myself, but I agree that this has kinda the same vibe, but lighter. I definitely prefer aura sensuelle over this one.

AlaskanAngel

A more floral version of ALIEN. I think it's slightly lighter or more airy as it has less jasmine and amber than the original. I do not find it similar to ALIEN EAU EXTRAORDINAIRE because I don't find the bright citrus or fresh tea notes in this flanker. Glad to have tested it but this was not made for me.

Review of official carded spray sample.

ruxela

I don t get this .... Fragrantica notes...I don t get this!!!!!
On Mugler website it-s written veeery clear: Orange, Jasmin, White Amber!!!
No woods! no Cedarwood, no Sandalwood.
It is listed as an Floral Green Amber fragrance!!!!
What is this Budha wood? Now it-s a tree??? I thought it-s a God!

assoula17

Was never into the OG Alien no matter how much I tried. The only Alien I liked and own is the Essence Absolue (apart from one which a sales lady insisted on spraying me with back in 2012 in Galleries La Fayette which being the Alien hater that I am, I didn’t pay attention and did not get the name of the flanker I was sprayed with, and after a while I was enchanted). But I just stumbled upon a Flora Futura 1.5 sample in my sample collection, and I liked it right away. But not in an OMG earth-shattering, fell in love way. It’s pleasant but not remarkable. And disappointingly it transformed into a barely their scent after only 45 minutes. I have to rub my nose against my skin to get a whiff of it. I’d maybe consider getting a small decant but not more.

cottoncandydream

This is a very unremarkable perfume. I forget what it smells like even while I’m wearing it, but I “know” it smells like any other pink juice. I thought maybe it would be more interesting than, say, Miss Dior (which I also consider generically pink, but lovely) but I’ve worn it on multiple occasions and find it underwhelming every time.

peachygal

Can’t stand it. Extremely chemical opening and dries down to a boring floral if I could even call it that. Also doesn’t remind me of OG alien as well. Def not a safe blind buy.

rorokoko

Got a sample of this and I thought I had sprayed the wrong one for a second - something in it is close to Aura Sensuelle

Zbounce94

Not sure why extraordinaire is the top pick in "this perfume reminds me of." Flora Futura smells nothing like Extraordinaire. They're both light and have a smooth floral element, but that's it.
Anyways-
This is very pretty. Dainty and feminine. The OG Alien DNA is detectable, but completely transformed into something much brighter. I like it, but I can see why some Alien fans would not. Honestly, this feels more like a Daisy flanker than an Alien. Much prettier bottle than Daisy, though 😂
It's easy to find at a low price, so it's worth it imo.

Creamy_ambrette

I am so surprised with how much I love this! Flora Futura opens as a soft and powdery candied citrus. The Buddha Hand or fingered citron isn’t sharp or aromatic like bergamot or lemon, this is a rounded, soften, candied citrus note. Almost floral in quality but not quite. The “powdery” accord my nose picks up is more of a dusty quality. I envision a desert!
Then Flora starts to transform into a dusty vanilla, somewhat aquatic floral - a floral note I have yet smelled. This is my first fragrance with night blooming cereus, and I think I love her!!
The buddha hand’s soft, candied citrus, slowly fades over the first hour. The dry down is a sweet, dusty- but not dry- woody, slightly floral vanilla- Amber?
It’s unlike any other vanilla I have in my collection. The only part of this fragrance that’s even close to Alien is the dry down- even then it’s set apart. It’s very unique and interesting! I’m looking forward to spending more time with Flora.

Creamy_ambrette

Notes above are incorrect for the original formulation (MFG for CFG) Clarins it’s supposed to be Top Notes:
Buddha Hand Citrus and Cloverleaf
Middle: Queen of the Night Flower (Night blooming Cereus) Base Notes: White Amber and Sandalwood. Batch codes/ID 2018-2020

Buddha hand is a very floral citrus scent- not sharp or aromatic like bergamot or mandarin orange.
I heard they changed the notes for the L’Oreal formula (L’Oréal formulations will have “Azzaro Mugler Beauti” on label)
I hope that helps those who are curious!

M1tsouko

A very unique fragrance only a niche group of people will love (I'm a part of this small minority) !! I haven't really been in touch with ms. flora futara in quite some time now because someone told me I smell like an old person.

But that's beside the point. Powdery florals have this type of old-woman scent which I don't quite understand?? but it's quite alright. This perfume does have a weird element to it though. This perfume reminds me of something antique, something old. I feel like this perfume were to have some antiquity. Flora Futara would be ahead of its time in 1700s France where women's fashion had been at its peak; the late baroque era. One particular painting made in this timeframe, by Jean-Honoré Fragonard "The Swing" I believe captures this perfume's beauty in a way I never thought it could. A woman in a pink, silk taffeta gown and caraco swinging from a luxurious chair, with her in the spotlight, some evangelical presence in this painting, glowing. The scent of the florals, and the fresh smell of rain would be the exact smell I could picture from this very painting, thus flora futara.

lordbig

I am surprised powdery is so low in the scent profile. This is very powdery thanks to the night blooming cereus. It is the same flower used in Dior Addict, that dusty, papery, waxy desert flower that I love.
This takes the cereus in a new direction-bright buddha's hand are the citrusy centerpoint in this perfume. More fruity and less tart than lemon. The notes above are wrong- it's buddha's hand, not buddha wood and citron.
I don't think I have smelled anything like this before. So powdery and so refreshing. A little woody too.
Lasting power isn't phenomal, about 5 hours max. Sillage is moderate.

Hunnynpink

Bright citrus floral with a sweet warm dry down. I consider this a fresh floral.

Nocciola23

From the name and the bottle, I imagined that this would be quite a light, floral scent but it has a rich almond, marzipan scent that reminds me of Rolling in Love by Kilian.
It's a strong, bold scent and I'm loving it.

CeeTee

In case this helps someone::: The AFF bottles now have L’Oréal batch codes, so the juice you get could be different from the Clarins label I’m reviewing. Also, the notes shown on Fragrantica matched the Mugler (US) website until ~6 months ago when Mugler changed it. Mugler’s site now says:

- Energizing Revelation: Orange
- Radiant Revelation: Jasmine
- Enveloping Revelation: White Amber
(No night blooming cereus or Buddha wood, etc.)

This is a pleasant, clean white floral reminiscent of tiare flower to me. It has the whitest amber that hints at a vague wood. I don’t get any citrus. The dry down was similar to Aerin’s Amber Musc, (which I love). Both of the scents are pleasant, but they share a highly synthetic quality. Normally, I don’t care, but it’s quite prominent to me.

AFF is a delicate, pretty Spring scent. If you’re looking for a soft, extremely intimate and inoffensive scent that projects for 30 mins to an hour, this could be for you. I’m always tempted to get this pink gem, but sadly, the performance isn’t for me.

Eveningrose

I am not sure if it’s the citron or cereus note that I do not like on this . There is something medicinal about this . Once it dries down, it is tolerable. The opening just annoys me . I love Alien and Alien fusion . This is no where near the original Alien . It could be it’s own scent and not a flanker cus it’s so different .

Jloveparfum

🌸 Alien Flora Futura, is the tender and younger sister of my beloved Alien Iconica, pink, very flirtatious, elegant, soft and beautiful. She managed to steal my heart.
She has Floral and Woody notes. Perfect for a sunny spring day.
The Great and beautiful Queen of the night together with the caress of white amber merge with the creamy notes of sandalwood forming a new, incredibly sensual and enveloping Alien.
The substantivity on my skin reaches 6 hours.

Mghen

This fragrance is so soft and pretty, I wish it was a little stronger. Easy to wear, very femenine, easy everyday day time fragrance. Non offensive.

hola gigi

Reminds me of several other fragrances, but has better staying power. The woody, citrus, amber, spicy accords give almost the same vibe as MK Super Gorgeous. This is the least polarizing Alien in my opinion. Close to the "fresh laundry" or "white t-shirt" family without being soapy. It's not fussy or complex. This is a simplistic beauty. Longlasting, nonoffensive sillage...8 hours on skin. Almost like a breath of fresh air in the springtime. Great for layering! The bottle is gorgeous & stands upright as well.

Slickchick81

Bought this perfume on a whim as it was priced at a discount for 90 mls, Verdict: I really like it. It opens with a bang of citrus, from Budha's hand(First time coming across this note), but this gives way for an unusual white floral night blooming Cerus (also never heard of) supported by a lovely warm Amber. On initial spray I felt this perfume smells familiar to me, now I know the notes are different but hear me out it smells like YSL Libre Intense, I sprayed them side by side and yes it does have the same vibe, are they are different enough to have both? yes, If you like Libre Intense you will like this.

Roos88dutch

Love the mugler Amber, nothing similar to me

Koningin

For some reason it makes me nauseous. I'm not a fan of the original alien either and it has a lot of that DNA so my advice to anyone that doesn't like the original, stay away from this one too!
I think it might be the amber which is too much. I

TheMunchkinlander

One of my all time top favorites!!! Though it might remind you of the OG Alien, Flora Futura for me is a thing of its own. Sure, the woods and amber have this dusty, desert vibe of the original, but this time they're in the background. In exchange of the heavy sweetness, in FF citrus is the aura around the other notes –a touch that makes it oh so fresh and appropriate for summer. (For someone who lives in a hotter climate, this is something you can wear all year round to any occasion.) All of the above lies on a powdery bed of the soft white petals of the cereus, balancing the light and cheery with the delicate, mysterious touch of femininity.

mandyads

I quite like this as it maintains the original Alien DNA, but with a softer and brighter white floral composition. However, I would not purchase it because I already have Dior Pure Poison. Though they are not similar in smell, they share the same vibe of “white floral, bright, clean.” I much prefer Pure Poison to this as I feel like I could always spray veryyyy lightly on Alien EDP in the warmer weather and get something similar enough to what I smell here in Flora Futura, as it smells like an EDT of the original only with a touch of an uplifting and light powderiness… maybe even layer it with Pure Poison. If I was at the point where I didn’t still have 1,000 unique scents to still add to my collection, I would buy it.

bahargaser

This was a blind buy for me 2 years ago. I only get a single note from it, which is an unpleasant and too strong grass. There is absolutely nothing sweet about the smell. I still use it from time to time, but doesn't give me any joy at all.

M1tsouko

After I bought a full bottle, I have a lot of thoughts on Flora Futara.

To start, this leans more feminine but unisex in a way. It's powdery, floral, and earthy at the same time. I had this in a small sample vial and thought that it smelled amazing! But oh well, that kind of changed. People say that this smells sweet and sugary on their skin and I kind of agree with that. The sweetness is reminiscent of Dr. Pepper. When this opens it does open as citrusy. Then it smells like tortillas, then after that it begins to have that sweetness to it. I also found out that I have to be in a certain mood to wear this as it isn't an easy grab for me. As the weather warms up I hope I'd be able to wear this more often due to how cold it's been where i live lately.

twoski

I get mostly creamy white florals out of this. The citrus is there but very distant.

The entire composition is quite sugary sweet. This would be a good summertime fragrance, probably for a younger woman.

godunga

I loved the bottle design because it was recyclable, and I bought it blind in love with pink, received it today, and the first scent smelled like powdery flowers, and then quickly disappeared. I think it will be hot to use in the summer and would be nice from late autumn to winter. It's a scent that I smelled somewhere. It just reminds me of Guerlain by “L’instant Magic” I think it'll take some time to get close to this perfume. The bottle is really pretty.

Baby powder scent. This scent is likely to be worn rarely. And I couldn't find the sweetness in this perfume.

LemonLane

Opening Is heavenly! Sparkly citrus with a touch of white floral notes and just brilliantly sunny but after ten minutes it becomes massively powdery. Literally baby powder. 25 minutes later it’s gone.

Hurricane_Hilda

It’s giving… laundry detergent lol in a good way. I like the opening something just one note on here I can tell personally I don’t like I can’t pin point it but it’s there. It does have a pleasant smell tho and the bottle is really pretty. This smells sweet and fresh like laundry out the dryer

Yosa

I thought this would be a great Alien flanker for me as I find the OG too strong. But Flora Futura fails to captivate me. There's nothing really that sets it apart, or makes it memorable for me.. It's a light, pretty, feminine scent. The citrus is there but it doesn't steal the show. It's what the name suggests; a floral scent. (Though there's nothing 'futuristic' about it) I can detect the Alien DNA in it, but only faintly.

THAT SAID. If you like light floral scents then I believe you'll enjoy this fragrance! It's so light you can wear it anywhere, even at work - it's not gonna bother anyone. (Unlike the OG) The bottle is gorgeous! And the light pink colour of the bottle fits the scent perfectly.

I have got to know Flora Futura now - she is a nice pretty feminine girl, but she lacks the depth and personality to my liking - but she IS pretty and likable, nothing wrong with her!

Ps. The longevity isn't great on my skin, which is unusual as most perfumes last "too long" on my skin. (I'm a 1-2 spray sprayer, so perhaps the longevity is better when you spray more)

karlikarli

WOW! This is beautiful. Opens with fizzy goodness, powder and a hint of floral. Dries down into a sweet floral.

Gavin.edgars

Very woody. It’s a very unique smelling floral.

The citrus and sandalwood turn very sweet on my skin after an hour.

Ridiculously strong silliage for the first hour. Too strong imo. But it is very nice after some time. To me it’s a any season type of fragrance

You have to be a certain kind of person to wear this fragrance

harperpeshhe

Although I am not a fan of the Alien line, Flora Futura gave me a brief moment of, maybe this one is different enough to really enjoy. The initial spray is sunny bright white florals, it's really gorgeous. If this is where the story ended I would have been happy to have found my version of Alien, but it was short lived. After a couple of minutes, the original metallic DNA struts in and I just can’t get passed it. For me it’s just another headache inducer.

LovecraftLover

ALIEN FLORA FUTURA

The tag line for this is a “futuristic flower.” Not sure exactly what’s “futuristic” about it, but it is definitely more floral than original Alien. Whereas Alien is a big hit of single-note jasmine, Alien Flora Futura is Night Blooming Cereus. It’s a bit…softer on the edges than Alien.

Alien is well…alien. It smells like nothing else. Alien Flora Futura is a lot more accessible. It just smells like fresh, clean flowers, no hit of ambergris or anything intentionally out of place in its composition.

Mugler scents, to me, are bold and brash and slightly off-key (intentionally) designed to throw you off your guard and keep you questioning about what you’re actually smelling. Essentially…alien. Even Angel smells a bit out of this world with its patchouli to cotton candy dry down, which doesn’t make a whole lot of sense on paper but works wonderfully in the actual perfume.

But Alien Flora Futura just seems like any basic citrus/floral you’d get at a drugstore. There’s nothing about it that throws you off or makes you question it. I’d say it exists for people who like the designer and the bottle designs, but are too scared to try something as crazy and out there as original Alien or Angel.

It’s just a safe, pleasant Spring/Summer floral. It would make a good, safe gift for someone. It’s hard to find anything in it to dislike. But there’s nothing to absolutely love, either.

M1tsouko

This perfume smells SO GOOOD omg. I recieved a sample vial in the mail of flora futara and this is probably one of the most prettiest smelling perfumes i've smelled in my lifetime. I was excited to smell this perfume from this review on tiktok about this particular mugler fragrance, and said nothing bad about it. I appreciate this fragrance so much and I would definitely buy a full bottle. The bottle is so beautiful and especially the fragrance. This IS definitely a blind buy safe for me at least. Pretty much anyone could wear this citrusy, floral scent anywhere at anytime.

Aromantra

This opens like sparkling-fizzy powder laundry detergent (think Tide mixed with Champagne) and I actually like it! Quite a refreshing take on the very oversaturated & cloying original. This is definitely a soapy aldehydic floral Alien. Like floral dryer sheets. You can somewhat detect the dna of the original (I would say 10% present) and I think it has a white pepper note which is unlisted. The Night Blooming Cereus is pleasant and I think it turns this into a unisex floral fragrance. Definitely appropriate for hot weather and has an overall clean & shower fresh vibe without being overly citrusy.

glitterizer

A greener/citrusier and, to me, stinkier Alien. Something about it makes me nauseous, it smells like if someone made a cleaning product specifically based on the smell of overripe flowers. Gorgeous bottle, though!

Starlight_moon

It's a nice, non-offensive fragrance and at first it seems like nothing special or memorable. But as the day goes by, you fall in love with it and it becomes very pretty, light, almost intimate scent. Unfortunately it doesn't last long and you'd need to reapply it a couple of times during the day.

natasha28

Review is for my own reference - It does not smell like the original Alien, it's much fresher and sweeter - think citrus. They both share a Jasmine note, even if not listed. Even though I usually like citrus scents more than White florals, I actually like original better. Floral Futura is much better suited for spring/summer daytime, this is reflected in the bottle's design. I think the original would be too heavy for the hot month so this is a good option.

I wouldn't buy this as I like the Alien Eau Extraordinaire version better - lots of citrus and tea :). Not a bad fragrance, but nothing super unique. I worry the longevity will be just as weak as the Extraordinaire. I rated it as okay, bc I've smelt other things that are similar but I like them better. I wouldn't keep it if gifted, again bc there are other scents I like better and could make money off of it. It would be in a scent family similar to YSL Libre EDT/EDT, but not a dupe.

It does not smell like Aura, and from my memory not like Dior Pure Poison.

A few hours later and the dry down reminds me of Britney Spear's Fantasy Nice Remix edition, it must be the jasmine note? Also, the longevity of Floral Futrua isn't the best :(

hannahlauren

Revisiting this one since I took advantage of the last sale on Mugler (I now have an extra bottle along with the adorable 1oz to tuck away in my purse!!)

Like I said before, I live in Las Vegas, and to me this smells like straight cactus blossom! The sweetest, rarest, most luxuriest cactus blossom. I love it so much, made for the desert summer! This is my go-to when it's incredibly hot, it performs gorgeously

mytrueessense

Second review by me for this fragrance.

In the past I only used Alien Flora Futura in cooler months. This week I began experimenting with several perfumes in my collection during what is an uncharacteristically hot 🥵 summer of consistent 90 degree weather in Colorado.

Despite air quality warnings about outdoor excursions due to smoke from the CA wildfires, I decided to venture out to my backyard garden and to refill the bird baths. Before I went outside I spritzed on 1 dose of Alien Flora Futura. Immediately upon feeling the heat of the day and the hot 🌞 sun on my skin this Alien flanker bloomed. To me it smelled entirely different than it ever did in colder weather ( of course) but nothing like Flora Futura. It smelled exactly like Chanel Coco Mademoiselle!

Once I returned to my cool air conditioned home it reverted to it’s former self. Soon turning lighter and more powdery with the Alien DNA undertone.

Very interesting.

ladyjb

This smells like fizzy, sugared white flowers featuring tuberose on my skin.

Tropicat28

I bought this before reading the reviews that said it has a peppery type smell to it. It’s true and pepper type smells just don’t work for me. I can’t speak much else about it because after that one spray it got put back in the box and listed up for sale.

Lollo

Well, this is perfect for the one afraid of wearing the original, or wanting to be more sweet/girly. I think that the caractar from the original faints in this one.

JaneVanDerWoodsen

Has this been reformulated? Mugler’s website describes this as orange, jasmine, and amber. Not at all the same notes that are in my bottle or listed here on this page. I think I’d love that way better.

I blind bought this in November and tried to convince myself I love it but it just falls flat. Poor performance, weird green note which might come from the cereus. I can’t decide if I want to sell or just wear 5 sprays to do yard work every now and then. It’s forgettable and boring.

I reviewed this before but since owning it for several months I finally am willing to accept it as just a weird body spray in a pretty bottle.

Jinxcat87

I can't stand this version. I wanted to love it since I love Alien, Alien Oud, and Alien Essence Absolue. This is much too floral for my liking. As soon as I smell it it makes me feel like I'll be getting a headache shortly. The bottle is beautiful though. I'll be listing this one since I can't stand to wear it.

hpbburd95

I didn't think I would love this as much as I do. It's what you love out of Alien that fits nicely in the summer and during the day. It's so pretty and sparkly to smell. I really really like this. I can see how this wouldn't be for everyone, but if you already enjoy Mugler fragrances and if you like Alien, you'll like this. Don't expect Alien, but if you like the idea of it and want something more summery and light then you're going to enjoy it.

انا من معجبين عطور تيري موجلر الغريبه وهذا العطر جميل لكن ثباته ضعيف احس ثباته ساعه بالكثير برغم اول ما ترشه تحس فيه قوي بس بعدين يضعف بسرعة....ينفع لصيف والربيع...

ccarrie37

Alien Flora Futura (2018) is a Eau de Toilette flanker of Alien (2005).

Scent: The opening features a clear, sparkling citrus with a hint of powder and a slight warmth. However, the citron soon fades into the background in order to make place for a very feminine white floral. To me, this floral leans far away from indolic-- unlike the juicy, cold jasmine of the original Alien, this is more delicate and powdery, and less sweet. Eventually, Flora Futura dries down to a dusky, inviting sandalwood and amber, which continue the powdery-warm trend in this fragrance. I wouldn't say that Flora Futura and the original Alien EdP have the same DNA, but they do have a common ancestor. Overall, this fragrance is an inviting, warm summer scent that is just unique enough to attract others while still remaining appealing to most people.

Sillage and longevity: in terms of sillage, this fragrance upon first application is noticeable up to about a metre away. However, Flora Futura quickly loses projection and becomes a skin scent within about an hour. At about the 4 hour mark, it is barely noticeable on the skin. While I find this acceptable for a summery EdT, others may be surprised due to the pure lasting power of Alien and its other EdT flankers such as Mirage. With 3 sprays per application (modest for this fragrance, which would be difficult to overspray), I apply Flora Futura approximately 2-3 times per day when around those with sensitive noses. Otherwise, I recommend applying 4-6 sprays in the morning and afternoon to maintain a delicate but noticeable scent.

I considered the price 'ok' as I bought 30 ml of Flora Futura for approximately $30 during a 60% off sale. Due to its poor longevity, I definitely would not buy the fragrance for its original price of approximately $75. However, this fragrance is definitely alluring, summery and unique, and I would definitely recommend purchasing if there is a good sale.

Okay... this is just absolutely gorgeous.
I have yet to meet a Mugler that I didn't like, and since I (sadly) only discovered Mugler this year, I feel like I dont have as much of a critical opinion of the newer fragrances as some might...
But I digress.
I love the Alien EDT, as well as Alien Mirage. Flora Futura was my 3rd Alien flanker, but it did not disappoint. A beautiful blend of citron and night-blooming cereus in the opening, then it becomes a vanillac amber-bomb with Buddha wood to lend a luxurious quality.

It is absolutely stunning. Another note, I'm wearing this in the current heatwave here in Las Vegas. 115° most of the day, and I feel like this fragrance was made for the desert heat. It smells amazing!!! My only wish is that it lasted a bit longer, I have to overspray with this one for sure. I'm not mad though 😍

twiztidladii

It smells like a mix of green notes, citrusy scents blended moderately with florals. I’ll be honest here...it smells like some type of household cleaner or soap or something that I’ve recently dealt with because the scent memory feels super recent. My travel spray I received a few months ago does not lean in that direction. The bottle I have in front of me is a Tester bottle. Ahhh I hope I didn’t get a fake. I will be so upset. I’ll try this fragrance again in a couple days after it has a chance to get acclimated after shipping and I’ll update my review then.


[Edit] I just wanted to update real quick. It’s been almost 24 hours since my last review and I’m sitting here smelling my tester stick from yesterday. The dry down is actually really beautiful and I believe this is what the perfume is meant to smell like. Maybe it’s “off” for me since I just got it yesterday. Like I said before though, I’ll give it a few days and start fresh and see what happens.

[Edit 2] It’s been a little over 2 weeks since my post. I’ve used the perfume multiple times since then. It definitely was just the fact that it just went thru shipping that it smelled off, the day I first tested it. It smells much more like the trial size I had before. I have no complaints. In face I bought Fusion as a Tester too the other night.

Dulcespinelli

Nobody else here thinks this perfume is very similar to (albeit less intense than) Cacharel's Lou Lou???

pamplemousse2

I was very thrown off when I first applied this, because it had 'flora' in the name and was light pink colored, I expected something floral (and I do love the packaging). But upon first applying my sample, it was not floral at all and was some kind of different citrus scent, mixed with something else. I see now that has citron, and the something else is I guess the 'Buddha wood'. But honestly could also be a bit of powderiness from amber as well. It also had a 6" projection initially but I also applied a lot. It still has a lightness to it, though.

After a minute or two, I did get a somewhat floral smell that was dusty and dry and a tad fruity that must be the night blooming cereus. There is the 'soft spicy' sense to it too. It's already gone down to about 3" projection and very light.

10 minutes later and it's a skin scent. It is stronger on the skin, but I feel like if I didn't apply a lot, it would be gone by now. It's got kind of a fresh, clean, slight sweetness to it. There is white floral that comes out a bit, too, that finally reminds me of the original Alien more.

15 minutes later and it's already gotten even lighter. The wood, amber, and white floral are really making this feel like an Alien Lite now. But just a touch of sweetness and freshness added. It's a shame I can only smell this with my nose directly on my skin, though.

30 minutes later it's warm, slightly sweet, and woody. Very pretty and nice to smell, but again, it's just on the skin.

1 hour later and the scent hasn't changed much, but just, again, it's an even lighter skin scent now, which started around the 45 minutes, but it is still there.

I'll see how long this lasts for.

3 hours later and it's basically gone. Just the slightest hint left directly on my skin.

Roses and Thyme

I love this scent. Not too much citrus — just enough to help the florals and woods really sparkle. Great scent in heat and humidity. The lasting power, however, sucks — especially for a Mugler. I am lucky to get maybe three hours on moisturized skin. Does last a bit longer on clothes.

Bought it on sale off the gray market and it was worth it at the discounted price. The scent is gorgeous and well worth full price — if the lasting power was there.

sealegs

Lucky blind-buy. I asked my sister what perfume I should buy next, and she says, "For the love of God, not anything with patchouli in it." She has a point. Almost all of my fragrances have patchouli in it, so I went with her idea and started searching around. This one was actually at the bottom of my list at first, but I impulse bought it since there was no patchouli note in it. Worked out perfectly.

Reminds me of spring and summer. Not a sickeningly sweet, sticky, cloying summer fragrance. Imagine it's late in the afternoon and the sun is slowly setting but it's still bright outside -- you look out the window watching the clouds and sky go from blue to beautiful hues of orange, pink, and purple. The sun lets go of its last beam for the evening, and you see the shadows of the trees and bushes dancing on your bedroom wall before its now dark outsidel. It's a soft summer fragrance.

Initial spray- I get tons of powder and citron.
10-15 minutes later- almost becomes a skin scent but not quite.
1 hour later- heavy notes of wood are apparently, same with florals.

The wood in this one is very sharp while the powder is very.. dainty? I love it. It grabbed me lots of compliments so far, and I'm really enjoying it. I'm officially determined to buy more of these flankers.

Amour, Michele

I wasn't expecting much from this and I have to confess I bought it mostly for the gorgeous bottle. Now that I've tested it, I'm loving it! It makes me think of sunshine, warm skin, beautiful relaxed woman wearing a dress. It's so pretty. It does come across as tame and this might make you think it's forgettable or "boring", but far from it! It really fills a niche of that rare cozy summer fragrance that's not sickly sweet, coconut, or overly fruity. It's the perfect balance of amber, wood, a touch of powdery flower and it's just gorgeous. It is really genius to take out the over the top jasmine and replace it with cereus (beautiful here, btw) and keep that distinct Alien amber accord but just soften it a bit and give it that "summer afternoon" filter. I can see this smelling incredible on a day out or a night on the patio drinking cocktails in the summer. I love this! Longevity is not super beast like Alien, but it's fairly good. On fabric, it lasted for ages.

Harleynme23

A blind buy for me, having been a fan of the original Alien for some time I had high hopes of Flora Futura being my perfect spring/summer fragrance, as I feel like the original is better suited for winter/night. Unfortunately I was left disappointed. This is a very light fragrance, totally unlike the original. Upon my first spritz I was shocked at how barely there it was and found that it had disappeared from my skin completely within a mere 10 minutes. I’ll give it an ‘OK’ as it was a bargain in the sale, the bottle is very pretty, and I’m hoping I can at least layer it with another fragrance for extra oomph. People who dislike the original (or any other strong fragrances for that matter) may enjoy this one.

Honestly, I'm a sucker for Mugler’s bottles. One day I saw this one on sale locally, I checked fragrantica for notes (of course!) then I just got myself a bottle.

I love the opening of this one… the color of the bottle really reflects the fragrance inside. Fresh sweet juicy citruses and amber. It doesn’t develop as much, beside it gets more juicy floral (if it makes sense) and woody notes appear. So soft and airy and calming.

Too bad my dry skin eats this up too quickly… 1-2 hours max on me. But I still love to spray it when I want to be fragranced but not too obviously fragranced.

One of the few alien flankers I can tolerate. Tested it on a few weeks ago out because 1.curiosity 2.bottle is life. It is close to OG but that tingling jasmine top note isn't there, thats the one I usually can't stand. I owned and used essence for a while but that jasmine note became drillingly annoying after a while and I sold it on. This has a tingling top feeling of something else instead, reminds me a bit of the lemony nose feeling I get from sensuelle. Another newer release from Mugler I can get behind.
Longevity? Eternal. My jacket smelled for over a week from rubbing off on my pulse.

Tolkashutka

I want to like this, but it just doesn't last worth a damn, thus the "okay". Actually on second thought, it gets a "like", because it was on a big ole' fat winter sale. If I paid full asking price, then it would be "okay". I know it's an EDT, but less than an hour's longevity is upsetting, especially when there are other Alien Flankers that are also EDTs that last significantly longer (looking at you, Mirage).

I'm about to decant multiple vials of this and concocts some potions with other scents in my wardrobe that have better longevity. I can see why this might be a "Last Chance Scent", because hopefully they're discontinuing the EDT and releasing a near identical EDP instead (wishful thinking, I know).

Merawr

one of my blind buy and....SUCCESS!!this flanker is soooo damn good. floral,bright,citrusy and the drydown is amazing. the top notes is citrus that you can find in honey yuzu tea and it's so comforting. i love this night blooming cereus floral it's smell sooo gorgeus and not too strong to my nose. i think this perfume kinda remind me a lil bit with the OG one but in my opinion the original is more powdery and the jasmine is too strong and when you're overspraying it will give a headache. but this one is....wooow very very floral but it's still a little bit creamy on the drydown. but unfortunately it's does'nt stay long on my skin. i think if this flora futura has the EDP it's way much better

JaneVanDerWoodsen

I blind bought this cheap on sale and upon first spritz regretted it. Now my second time wearing it I think I’m... in love?? I didn’t get how it was a lighter Alien, but today i can definitely see the comparison. This one is Aliens little sister. It’s floral, slightly citrusy, not as spicy as Alien but it still has a little sprinkle of it. I definitely get the amber. It’s beautiful but strange and I don’t think it’s a safe blind buy, so don’t be like me and be lured in because of a sale. Fortunately it worked out this time.

brumbarche

Opens bright and floral - more specifically - like pink hyacinths (not purple or white!). Drying down goes through a muskier phase and to an even more simplistic pink floral, when more powdery notes appear. Quite delicate. Nothing crazy.

miss.zara

I really wanted to like this scent but all I keep getting is a huge whiff of johnson and johnson baby powder scent 🤢

sakura28

Upon spraying the opening notes are a pleasant and floral. This is a lighter day version of alien + clean white floral notes.

It's a prettier more feminine version and easy to wear compared to the original. The strength and longevity on my skin is similar to the extrodinare version. It has the same vibe as the alien extrodinare + floral notes. It is a bit more powdery than any of the other flankers I have tried.

Beautiful just beautiful pink bottle!

This was a blind buy and my very first dip into mugler and alien flankers. This is my gateway purfume into the interesting scents mugler has. Now I'm obsessed and collecting everything.

Update: I eventually decluttered this because of the powdery notes but now I regret before I just miss the look of the super cute pink bottle sigh I just reached for other flankers more often oh well

danygurl06

First, this smells way better than the original Alien on my skin. I just want to put that out there.

Second, it smells fresh, clean and very light. The citron is a soft citrus that I am able to bare. Thankfully, this doesn’t have jasmine in it. The floral in here smells kind of aquatic. The base is similar to the original alien in that it’s softly amber and sandalwood.

To my nose, it smells nothing like Alien. It smells shower fresh. It kind of remind me of those tiny hotel lotions that come in a fragrance like white citrus.

Update: I’ve been wearing this for a while. The dry down smells like a mix of Pacifica French Lilac and orange pekoe tea. It’s a much richer scent than I had initially though. It must be the Amber.

Vanilla violin

Clean and cold floral loveliness with a hint of cactus juice. Beautiful, feminine and uncomplicated, evokes a feeling of tranquility. Perfect for spring and summer day wear, medium sillage and longevity.

Amnaa

Very clear and light, sweet but without the bulkiness of vanilla or fruits.

This recipe dances around the traditional combo of bergamot-jasmine-sandalwood by using ingredients that are just slightly off but work so well in the end!

I will admit I hated the original Alien and this one is such a 180 I can't stop adoring it!

Very feminine, very original, smells like a cold night in a blooming desert. The finish (after maybe 2hrs) is a bit like honey.

pickynikki

Hello Mugler! My first. The opening is what I wanted from Guerlain’s Mon Florale, or Cartier’s Baiser Vole Lys Rose. Or even Lolita Lempicka. It is a light, floral scent. Powdery. They are all in family. However, I think I prefer Alien Flora Futura. At least in the opening. Guerlain is too plasticky, Cartier faintly smells of cigarettes, and LL like baby wipes. This is a perfect go-to fragrance because it is simple, floral, and fresh. As it wears, it gets even cleaner or soapy. Soon after I’m left with just the base notes.
3 criticisms: a tad artificial, very light, and the floral notes are fleeting. And I totally agree, Flora Futura sounds like a Björk song :D I got the 1 oz bottle, and it’s soo adorable.

bella.cheirosa

Kind of reminds me of a Victoria's Secret fragrance- it's really nothing super unique or special. This is a really pretty, basic powdery white floral on the opening and gets warmer after the dry down- where the amber and sandalwood really shine through. I would love this if it didn't turn into a skin scent after about 3-4 hours. If you're looking for a pretty floral fragrance that stays close to the skin, this is for you!

pleasuretoburn

This is a pretty, creamy addition to the Alien family, and the luminescent pink of the bottle definitely fits the fragrance inside. The Night Blooming Cereus is the star of the show here, and it is heavy, rich, and almost indolic. I can see how it is related to Alien, but without the jasmine, I found the Cereus alone to be a bit too much; I wanted it to be slightly softer somehow, with more amber or vanilla, as if "soft" a thing Mugler does often. I love how aggressive Mugler scents can be, because they're aggressive in a pretty, flattering, interesting way, and Flora Futura isn't any different. I ended up gifting the bottle I bought to my cousin and she loves it. I liked it, but I never reached for it, so I am glad it has a home where it is loved.

imgeaslan

This bottle is sooo stunning
And the fragrance is more!
It's more on the woody side to me and I really really like it. It was a blind buy for me and I couldn't be happier with the result
If you even don't like the original Alien, this is the lighter and more woody version of it, easy to like

drawingmaniac35

I received a 30ml bottle as a gift last year and over the summer the juice was over. This year I bought a used bottle just to remind myself what made me use it up so fast. Well, let me tell you-the poor longevity is why I managed to use it all up in one summer even though it was not the only thing I wore. On my skin, this disappears in a couple of hours so I have to reapply quite often. Although I usually don't mind touching up, having to do it this often is a little annoying.
Spraying on clothes is usually a no go for me so I have no idea how long this lasts on fabric.

Anyway, the juice is really pretty and if it stays longer on your skin, then I envy you!

mhdavis

This is my least favorite Alien I’ve tried thus far. I’m getting harsh soapy white floral, a little bit of citrus, and heavy powdery sandalwood. I’m not sure what Buddha wood smells like so I can’t speak on that. This doesn’t smell like an Alien to me. It smells like hairspray. I don’t like it at all. Scrubbing off now.

iszzieanna

Such a beautiful bottle.

Just like how the og alien smells like purple, this smells like how pink should smell. Whatever you do, don’t base the smell off the atomizer. Honestly, if you don’t spray this on the skin, it smells horrible. The Buddha wood makes it smell like baby powder which I don’t quite like.

Once you spray this on the skin, the floral notes are finally there but you can still smell baby powder. I can’t smell any amber or musk or anything relative to alien.

Honestly any of the alien perfumes are strange (hence the name) and don’t blind buy these. They take a while to get used to. I feel like none of the aliens go well on my skin and now I’m stuck with alien and this flanker.

DebiL1211

After many many months of trying to find a Mugler fragrance and specifically a flanker of Alien that works for me I have finally found it. This is a beautiful soft floral combination. A lovely fresh out of the shower fragrance. I think this is great for Spring and summer. Going to be wearing it with my summer dresses.
Longevity was about 5 hours and sillage is close to the skin. This is inoffensive and I am basing my review off of 5 sprays.

Anamandy

This is so pretty and feminine. Has the Alien DNA, especially on the dry down, but the floral composition is different and has nowhere near the silage and longevity. And that's the problem. Gone within a few hours with very low silage, though I loved what I smelled when I sniffed my wrist. As I can't walk around with my nose glued to my wrist all day, I'll sadly have to pass on this. Too bad, because I love this floral (especially the subtly peppery spiciness of the Cereus, though I'm sure there is jasmine here too), lightly sweet perfume. It really has such a beautifully creamy dry down especially when a vanilla accord comes through.

Since I have a sample sprayer from fragnet I'll try this again in the warmer weather. Maybe I'll have better luck with silage and longevity then.

Rosemary14

This flanker is very soft and fresh but has very good longevity. It’s less intense than the OG and a little bit strange but not the ground breaking strangeness the original had at it’s launch. But, in my eyes it still follows the originals outer space science fiction narrative. It is definitely a sequel in the Alien series done by the same artistic director. It’s just a more serene desert moon off of the original Alien planet where the sunset is warm, glowing yellow and bouncing off the pink sand growing strangely formed cactus plant life and telling a softer more quiet and modern story.

I really like this flanker of Alien. It’s surprisingly simple and unusual at the same time. It starts with your usual burst of citrus and then the night blooming Cereus comes in and it’s incredible. It’s not a flower that I’ve come in contact often, but I have smelled them before when I lived in New Mexico. I remember a friend of mine had one of these on a cactus in front of her house and one night they had bloomed and walking by I was hit by the sweetest most beautiful smell. So, I actually just stood there smelling it for a few minutes. They are simple vanilla like and sort of soothing. I mean it’s kind of like if an aloe vera plant had a fresh, creamy, serene, pretty little flower. Something about this does conjure up a cactus. It’s a cucumber, aloe, cactus kind of freshness, but very inoffensive and light like a soft sunset. Or like fresh clean cool cucumber water. Then this has some strange wood I’ve never smelled before but if you didn’t tell me I wouldn’t know it’s there. I also smell sand. I’m not making that up or taking creative liberties I actually smell sand. I’ve lived at the beach for 10 years and before that I lived in the desert so I know the smell very well. The idea behind this was to paint a picture of a desert at sunset and they truly did that successfully. It has that familiar white amber from the Alien DNA and also thank goodness they threw in some sandalwood too. It’s a very light, fruity, vanilla, mellow, unusual, sweet fragrance. It’s no where near as strong as the original and it’s just so smooth and nice. I might need to buy a back up of this.

I finally came around to the original Alien. When it first came out it was way too ground breaking for my sensitive nose. Now the strangeness of the original isn’t strange at all to me. I’ve smelled it too many times since it’s origin and now that cartoon grape jasmine isn’t strange anymore it’s just good. Although my most intense love of jasmine or any white flower comes from a photorealistic green fresh jasmine. This warm white amber and cartoon Dr. Seuss jasmine has worn it’s way into my heart. In fact I’ve smelled it so many times that it’s now just like a warm oriental to me.

Flora futura

Very soft on skin but string in a tester card.
Fresh, but got that alien weird/goodness.
Those of you who know, will know what that means :-)
This scent is muuuuch softer than OG Alien.

Petals_and_Perfumes

11/21/19 (Please accept my sincerest apologies for such a long review, but at the end you’ll see why I couldn’t stop sharing) 😊

This is my first experience with the Alien line. Heck - I’ve not tried any fragrances from Mugler, actually! So I’ll give it a go with my neophyte nose.

From the description above, the creators wanted the wearer to experience what the desert smells like - and from the use of flowers, I’m surmising that experience would be after a monsoon-like rain as that is when the desert flowers really celebrate in full bloom (little background here - I live in the Sonoran Desert).

This “Hand of Buddha” trio-thing is a new concept to me. But, ok. Let’s dissect this as it relates to a top-mid-base fragrance experience, as they wish.

Top notes: “Crackling Revelation” = crispy and sparkling
Mid: “Flower Revelation” = Queen of the night (unique flower that blossoms out of a cactus at night)
Base: “Creamy Revelation” = white amber and sandalwood

I’ve never experienced smelling desert flowers at night. I have an aversion to being greeted by coyotes, snakes, tarantulas, scorpions, etc., which all seem to love it here after the sun sets. And my AC is on at least half the year so I miss Queen of the Night if she shares her scent then.

While I’m completely missing the “Crackling”/top notes, the Flower and Creamy Revelations are so harmonious and beautiful that I’ve come to fall deeply in love with this frag!

It’s the type of experience for me that has only happened a few times with my lustful search for The Perfect Fragrance and is a perfume that makes me seriously contemplate clearing all my shelves of hundreds of bottles for, save a precious few.

I’m confident in sharing that, IMHO, this is a more mature scent. I picture a woman who’s got it all - the top of her game in a career she’s scraped and shed blood for, is financially stable, and can rest her head at night on crisp linen sheets changed by the help.

That’s so totally not me (I’m a mess - lol), but at least when I wear this, I can pretend and carry myself with strength and confidence, and feel sexy as hell while doing it!

I’ve come to the conclusion that this was released as an answer for those out there who thought the original Alien was too strong, harsh, deep, etc. But as a fan of clean, floral scents you’d think of wearing during the warm, bright days of spring and summer, this for me is definitely a fall/winter scent. Today outside it’s rainy, gray, and cool - we are in the midst of a 4-day monsoon blast - and I find this a perfect choice for what I’m experiencing in the desert right now. It’s comforting and centers me, bringing with it peace and tranquility. I guess its creators have successfully portrayed the “Hand of Buddha” accord!

I consider it a gift to be blessed by this beauty. Definitely in my top 5 faves of all time 💕🔥💕🔥💕

Tt777

Alien original lover here- this is somewhat of a departure from the original- lighter and more floral- the color is the bottle is appropriate- i can smell the alien dna only bc I like it so much- for ppl that like alien but feel it’s a bit overpowering, give this one a try- I see myself reaching for this in spring- it’s a lovely fragrance and not your typical floral- looking for something original and unique , here it is

Wilczyca

I love it. I don't know how they made it resemble regular Alien so much when the notes are so different, but it's very close. Calmer, tamer, but still a bit exotic & intriguing. Opens with fresh citrusy feeling. Transparent light bottle suits it, as usual. For it is fragile and ethereal and kinda reminds me of the pink sands on the desert when the sun is setting down. In the clay vase there are several rich citruses and there is the cactus blooming. I notice a woman who walks barefoot on the hot sands, her dress long and white, half-transparent, dancing on the wind. I take my eyes off her to appreciate the beautiful sunset and then look back at her again, only to notice she disseapeared. Perhaps A Fata Morgana?

The feelings are: Fresh. Light. Flowers. Ghost. Desert.

Sadly, with the "ethereal" factor - the sillage and strength are suffering, but it stays a while on the clothes. The scent is fleeting, yes, but beautiful enough that I don't mind. Why?
My wardrobe consists mostly of heavy perfumes which are headache-inducing in the summer/spring, so this one is a perfect candidate to replace them for me during hot days. I don't mind it being so delicate, though if I could have Alien Flora Futura in EDP version (more longevity and sillage) I would grab it without thinking. Still, I guess I am gonna experiment with some skin creams to try to prolong its life. Perhaps it will perform different in the summer, got to test it in the hot months.

In Poland we have these icecream called "Kaktus" by Nestle and I swear Alien Flora Futura reminds me of the sweet lovely scent of the artificial cactus tip mixed with regular, softened Alien. It's nice but if I haven't looked at the notes I wouldn't make the connection. This slight floral-ish tone is what I mostly feel until it fades.

Good_Sniffer

Mugler Alien FLORA FUTURA EDT: The initial spray was really nice, consisting of flowers and the smell of a fresh banana being peeled! The banana smell faded when it dried into an almost entirely floral smell that is slightly too sharp. I don’t like pure floral smells, especially ones that have sharpness. This one is not unpleasant but “alcoholic” when smelling close to the wrist. It don’t think it’s for me. This perfume also left a musky, icky smell on my wrist after it faded.

Pianomelody

A beautiful particular perfume, very bright at the beginning, almost like a gold ingot, this perfume is particular and brilliant. A beautiful amber on the bottom gives an unusual and modern fragrance, for all those who like to stand out this is the perfect perfume! certainly does not go unnoticed! happy to have tried it, it's beautiful!

Sillage: 7.5/10
Longevity: 8./10
Scent: 8.5/10

Flora Futura is and overall pleasant perfume and a decent gateway drug to the Alien universe. If you look for it, you can catch hints that it is related to the one and only Alien. FF is completely inoffensive, but misses the spectacular radiant jasmine and amber/casheran that makes the original (and most other Alien flankers) shine above other floral perfumes. FF could very well belong to another house entirely. But I still like it and will keep it around for its versatility. FF is also refreshing in high heat + high humidity, where many Alien flankers feel like I will be gassing anyone around me.

Details on the actual scent:
FF is a pale impression of the original Alien. The amazing bombastic jasmine is nearly gone, with only hints of Alien's characteristic white-amber cashmeran glow left behind. A fainter white floral tone, quite watery and light, replaces the jasmine but never manages to really match up with the swoon-factor the original has. There is a lovely grapefruit accent that I enjoy, especially paired with the gentle sweetness of the QOTN, sandalwood, and amber. I do not find FF to be creamy, instead it is quite fresh and almost sparkling. Sometimes, I catch hits of something that smells like nag champa (a beautiful incense that incorporates sandalwood and white flowers).


I consider it Mugler's version of Shalimar Cologne, another gateway scent to a greater predecessor, but with less of a vanillic presence and zero edibleness. There is a white musk in FF that I don't care for, as it ends up smelling like dryer sheets. The end result is a pretty citrus-floral with hints of crisp, white amber-musk. It's not pink to me at all- it's more of a soft yellow-gold, though the bottle still represents the scent well. It's also a beautiful bottle, as always with Aliens.

zhiang0113

Flora Futura sounds like something that Bjork would name her song as!

Now that I've gotten that off my chest, I feel that Flora Futura definitely has a "colder", more austere and distant feel compared to the original Alien, which kind of fits into the theme of a "futuristic flower".

It opens as a transparent, dewy, abstract impression of a white floral, buoyed by the citron. The bitterness and zestiness normally representative of the fruit is nowhere to be seen, however; it, too, is an impressionistic note that plays a supporting role here. It serves to brighten up the floral note and make it more silk-like and fragile.

After the citron fades away, the floral note lingers for a couple more hours before it, too, vanishes into a soft cloud of white musks.

This fragrance remains light in its footprint throughout its lifetime, much unlike the original Alien, but it is definitely noticeable.

Balletflowers

If you love this & don't want to spritz your expensive bottle for around the house, buy Lady Gaga's perfume. It smells VERY similar. I promise.

Thierry Mugler does have a terrible habit of overdoing the number of flankers for two of their most popular scents, Alien and Angel. Personally, the number of flankers churned out by this fragrance house does irritate me, especially seeing as there are very few differences between each flanker. Alien Flora Futura is one of the more recent Alien flankers to hit the shelves, and although very pleasant it bears so many similarities to the flankers that have come before it.

Alien Flora Futura is a much lighter fragrance in comparison to the original Alien. The sugary jasmine accord from the original composition has been replaced with a luscious night-blooming cereus note. Additionally, the citrus notes are more prominent in this flanker as opposed to the denser, amber centric Alien that we know and love.

Alien flankers appear and disappear from the market so quickly that even sales assistants struggle to keep up. It's not unusual to find the wrong flanker assigned as a tester bottle for a totally different newer release.

Alien Eau Sublime is one of the stand-out flankers released in the last few years, Alien Flora Futura is, however, a close second. I would happily wear this fragrance during the warmer weather, but I can't say that I would reach for it all too often. I enjoy Thierry Mugler fragrances most when they embrace the quirky, unique aspect of the brand. Unfortunately, Alien Flora Futura is somewhat plain, despite the appealing light pink bottle.

HoneyBee1982

I love this one so much... breathtaking!! The original Alien is a bit too heavy for spring/summer, but this one is perfect for those seasons. If you find it doesn't last very long, just layer with some lotion or vaseline and it should stay on your moisturized skin better.

bonheurdujour

I really like this powdery scent and the pink bottle but it does not stay long :( not gonna buy again

mgeorgianaadriana25

I just bought this today and I must say I am impressed. I first entered the shop where I bought it from in order to see other perfumes. However, this definitely got my attention. I love it. It is such a delicate perfume, suitable for a warm spring morning or a romantic date :) I just love it.

LisaMichele22

This is a wonderful Queen of the Desert fragrance. The Cereus is a romantic flower that is utterly intoxicating, and fascinates as it blooms only one night of the year. The little citrus vibe of the Hand of Buddha gives it some brightness. The Dry down of Amber and Sandalwood is nicely sensual. Unfortunately, there is no staying power. I have to carry the smaller bottle around with me and spray it often. If Monsieur Thierry would only make this in EDP form, I would truly love it and could make this a signature scent. I do not like gourmand scents, nor do I like to smell like vanilla, so I am not a big fan of Alien scents overall. But this divine flower is out of this world!

Princess

Beauutiful fragrance! I cant stand the orginal purple, but this is so fresh and gorgeous! It smells a little simerlar to La vie est belle eclat edt :)

romrom

I just got this one yesterday. It's so pretty and floral. Just beautiful for spring.

Virgoesque

I've never been able to get on board the Alien train...until now! Some say they can't smell the Alien DNA in the Flora Futura, but I definitely can. However, there's something else, something different and lovely to my nose...it must be the night blooming cereus. (Note to self~ research this flower!) I've almost used up my sample in 3 days, so longevity is not the best, but not terrible either. I want a full bottle! The bottle is art, just gorgeous...and I love pink! If you find the original Alien to be overwhelming, give this one a try. You may be surprised!☺

justchillinxo

This is like an extremely sweet version of alien with all the good stuff taken out. Reminds me of ange ou demon opening.

Rose du soir

If you want a version of Alien with the same big sillage and longevity, this is definitely not what you want. This is meant for warm Spring days and Summer nights, or even for the office where Alien would be much too loud. The floral scent is very soft for a Mugler, and it does have a sillage, but it's very quiet in comparison to any other Alien. Easy to wear, even for those who don't like the original Alien. A very cute floral.
I think this is a good alternative for anyone who likes the notes of Alien in theory but finds the jasmine much too strong, and for anyone who is attracted to Muglers' notes and pretty bottles but can't bear the fragrances. It's a pretty safe blind buy and gift. And the bottle is so beautiful, it looks like pink quartz.

After spraying: "bubblegummy" orange flower + pepper + fresh cucumber or clover

After half an hour: bubblegummy orange flower + strawberry clover (T. fragiferum) or garden lupin (watered down black locust with watermelon and pepper) + sweet pea!!! + scent of florist shop (freesia) + strange flowery scent, something like almond or Arak - I smelled once Cacti flowers in a glasshouse and one of them had similar fragrance (but I don't remember its name).

So many flowers in one fragrance!

Astar

Not sure this fragrance will be loved by hardcore Alien fans. To me, it's too light, too citrusy, too all over the place, without one key note that would hold the composition together. But after about an hour of wear, the top notes disappear into nothingness, and there's this recognisable musky gourgeousness of the original Alien, way lighter and subtler however.

Pinksugarplum03

This fragrance is gorgeous. While sharing a similar base DNA with the original Alien which is very delicious, it has a light citrus + floral twist. Beautiful.

SailorV

Flora Futura is a lovely lighter version of Alien, suitable for warm weather, daytime ocassions and anyone who finds Alien EDP too loud in some situations. Even though this has a „queen of the night“ note instead of the usual jasmin, I think it still has the typical jasmin / amber / woods DNA of Alien.
But unlinke the classic EDP, it starts out with some fresh lemon notes and is much more tender overall. It feels very bright and has a creamy, light amber and soft white floral base that has a hypnotic, feminine quality to it. I think unlike regular Alien this would still smell pleasant if you sweat a little. The downside is that it turns to a skin scent relatively quickly - my skin carries fragrances quite well but this stops to project after a couple of hours, so be careful if fragrance generally tends to disappear quickly on you.

Mona Lygre

I tested this beautiful Alien today, and it smelled fantastic, I love such flowery perfumes!!

-But, it would not be on my want list, pitty I got instant astma of it :((

ScarlettX

Quite strong floral with woody notes, sandalwood and amber.
Very Thierry Mugler like scent.
It seems to have great sillage and longevity, it's a strong outstanding fragrance.
I even sense some powdery note in it.
I like it, but don't love it like crazy.

Cathped

The one I like most of the Thierry Mugler perfumes(after they discontinued Eau de Star). Even though this is pretty soft to be a Mugler, I still find the jasmine to be too overpowering. It is warm, spicy yet kinda fresh. Elegant in a way. But not my kind of perfume.

bronni666

i was expecting not to like this as i am not a fan of mugler's anything. they are all too heavy and nauseating but this ain't half bad although a little synthetic. it is an edt so the sillage isn't enormous and the longevity is still to be tested. i dont know what night blooming cactus smells like but to me it is a sandlewood and amber scent with a synthetic floral note. sweet but not overbearing. pleasant for the office.
the bottle is a bit too space age for me but it is alien after all. the pink glass is nice.

NamelessOne

This is a more easily wearable Alien. It is softer and the jasmine is not the punch in the face that it is in the original. The jasmine actually turns into a soft powdery floral on me. The scent stays close. My only complaint is that the longevity is dismal. Overall, it is definitely on my wishlist.

tittertat

I usually stay away from the Mugler line except for Angel Muse. Looks like I've found another one that works for me.
This is really pretty and not overwhelming, I think I prefer the night queen to jasmine though they are similar at first. There is an effervescent note and it reminds me of J' adore but without the synthetic peach. The very light woodsy note is subtle and thank goodness is not sandalwood dominant. I should mention I don't like the original Alien but Alien Sunessence is just ok to me. This is definitely my favorite of the Alien flankers.
All in all its surprisingly gentle for a Mugler, I guess they are branching out and producing scents to appeal to more people.
The bottle is really cool. I would actually purchase this. I wore this in warmer weather and got rained on but I can still smell it.

greydove

This one grew on me. I had a different impression of it when I read the notes, but when I tried it, it was a little more body-ody-ody than I expected, lol! Anyway, the genius of this scent is that it recalls alien but its wonderfully balanced for warm weather, and I do think its distinct from the other Alien flankers. Its quite dry as it mellows and it sort of diffuses softly around you which is perfect for summer; its not heavy at all.

cedar_lea

I used to wear night queen fragrance frequently, so I was really eager to see what Mugler did with it. Upon first spraying it was wonderful to smell my old favorite.

However, after it started to settle it got a little soapy. The dry down gets sweeter.

I think that while this is nice and I'd be glad to explore it more I suspect there are Cetus scents I like more.

LadiesRed

Another Summer edition of Alien! I cannot get bored of them because of how light yet fresh and delicate the scent is!

The staying power in Flora Futura is not strong but is more than enough to make an elegant entrance.

For some reason, I keep getting the citrus and floral based notes first and hints of the wood and amber based notes later that develop into a warm, soft vanilla with wisps of soft jasmine.

Alien has been a go-to scent for over 10 years now, I cannot possibly get sick of it because it keeps transforming and developing a new character for every Alien out there!

Eguam

It's a beautiful fragrance; it's flowery and fresh and not as sharp as the original Alien. The only thing I find disappointing is sillage and longevity: one hour after spraying it on it's gone.

magdalena81.1

Opens up beautifully with a light airy flower scent mixed with a zesty citrus accord that fits perfectly with the bottle's pink color. Suitable for spring and summer and even the office and I think it's a safe blindbuy and also gift. Not a beast when it comes to either longevity ( about 6 hrs) or sillage but probably won´t irritate anyone. The notes of sandal and buddha wood is light and creamy and blends really nice with the rest of the notes in this pretty concoction. The bottle is cute and I´m glad I have this in my collection.

Andre4242

To me this smells like Lady Gaga Fame soft sweet floral and a hint of smokiness In the background.

EmmaBelle

I had a carded mini spray tester of this, and I used it up all in one day. I couldn't get enough. This perfume is delicate, delightful and delicious. It's sweetly floral and feminine, though it faded fast. I really can't pick out distinctive notes, but all I remember was I absolutely loved it and would happily own a full bottle. A lovely scent for spring / summer day.

mamakatt38

I do not own any of the Alien line fragrances, although I have smelled Alien EDP and liked it. I might buy this one mainly because I think it's probably the most beautiful bottle I have ever seen, or one of the best. The scent is described as a lighter and fresher version of Alien and I am so intrigued. I have to have this.

Heyitsmetre

Just picked up a bottle of this making it the third Alien in my collection and I'm really enjoying this one a lot! Have only the original EDP and Essence Absolue (which I ADORE) to compare to, but owning a lighter, fresh, floral version that I find I can spray heavily without becoming as overwhelming or a bomb as the other two is very refreshing. Another worthy flanker in my opinion, but I find after the beautiful and rather unique top notes fade, the unmistakable solar DNA of Alien starts to shine through in the middle stronger and stronger. Briefly it seemed hard to tell them apart at all. After that a fantastic drydown. Reminds me of a pink desert flower, airy and dry smelling initially but also juicy and fruity at the same time as you keep smelling it. Very beautiful! Excited to try this out in the upcoming warmer weather

Guys Opinion:

✅★★★★ (4 / 5 stars)

Wow. Not as polarizing as other Mugler releases she owns and the descriptions below calling it Diet-Alien or Alien-Light are spot on.

On her skin, the powdery amber florals shine with a girly feminine scent bubble. Nothing bold or animalic but a hint of earthy pepper to add depth.

A touch of a sparkling champagne essence throughout the composition and the sillage is quite intoxicating. Girly but just enough classiness to avoid it being considered juvenile.

The citron elements give off a vibe similar to Lolita Lempicka Edition d'Ete, or Yellow Diamond Intense from Versace - but less synthetic than those, and longer lasting. Can be compared to Alien Eau Extraordinaire but obviously the tea notes in that release shine. No tea notes here.

Excellent release and can easily grab hold of mens attention (aged 20 - 40 perhaps) if the skin chemistry works out. 8+ hours of longevity on my girlfriend and suitable for any environment.

Love Love Love !!!

Sevparfumaddict

Very light bubble gum scent. Pleasant. Fantastic bottle.

Grasshoppaaa

Alien Flora Futura is a simple but sweet cocktail. The aroma profile is an ambery floral. The floral nuance is slightly heady, and very perfumy. It really gives you that dolled up feel with its heaviness. The amber is very well blended, and presents itself front and center without being overbearing or obnoxious in any way. It lets the florals lead‒which makes for a great touch in a woman's perfume. It does well to preserve the feel of femininity, while the heated essence adds sensuality to it

The overall aroma has a very mature vibe to it, and comes off a little secretary-ish to me. Might suggest this for outdoor use only, as I find heady essences like this come off generic indoors. For an EDT, this is some really potent stuff, so just a little tiny spritz will radiate from the wrist. You might want to take it easy on the trigger. If you insist on wearing this indoors, you should probably just spray a little your fingers, and then rub it on your neck and chest for the best effect.

Based on its qualities, I would expect this could be hit or miss with the ladies. It's something that would be youthful to an older woman, but mature to a younger woman. It's not especially sporty in any way, more classy, sophisticated, and mom-ish. So that's what a woman should expect to add to her palette with this one.

ApathyAngel

Fleike, there are many cacti and flowering plants, native to the Mojave and Great Basin deserts (you know, where I've lived literally my entire life), that have noticeable scents.

The hedgehog cactus immediately comes to mind, but that's far from the only one.

There is a device, in your pocket, capable of accessing the entirety of mankind's knowledge.

I'd like to invite you to use it.

*Edit*

I just scrolled through your reviews, and it's clear you're a troll. Nothing I could say will change that, so feel free to disregard this comment and carry on.

ApathyAngel

I live in the desert, and while this cactus flower is tropical, it really does smell like desert flowers in spring here. I love the citron, I can really pick it out easily, but the cactus flower is what stands out the most.

It's like an oasis in the desert. Refreshing but not aquatic. Definitely good for warm weather and desert summers. And the longevity isn't bad for an EdT, although on me, it's primarily a skin scent.

OolongLaLa

On paper, I smelled white flowers and a green accord. Initially, a real departure from Alien which I didn't detect at all. This doesn't seem like Mugler. Dried, it smells like Alien.

On my skin, so sweet and surprising! I have no idea what the pulp of Hand of Buddha smells like, but I get the most wonderful sweet fruity beginning growing into a juicy citrus note. The notes directory here says that Queen of the Night has a vanillic quality, but I get a green, succulent plant smell. For a while I get [the original] Alien among the cacti under a great, glowing citrus sun. However, this alien is fugitive— it's escaped Area 51 and is looking for a place to hide. I don't recognize Alien for very long. I believe the woody note comes in and changes it further. I can just detect Alien amongst the woods and cacti and blazing sun.

The original Alien is a sharp, white, floral on me. There's no syrup and definitely no grapes. I don't like jasmine that much so I needed a real admixture of Alien and additional notes, not just some transitory fruit, flower, or spice on top of it. THIS is my Alien. I'd almost given up after trying two other flankers. And this one lives up to its name for me— cactus is a lot more unusual in my region than jasmine.

Olya-la

I did not even expect that I may like it so much, but I do and am even thinking about purchase. It is a warm, soft scent balancing between rich woody and amber and divine freshness.

Despite having the unmistakable Alien DNA, Flora Futura may be the first of its flankers I "only" like, rather than love.

There is a mistake in the note pyramid supplied by Fragrantica, which really needs correcting.

The top notes of the pyramid are citron - which is correct, and Buddha Wood - which is not. Buddha Wood is also known as false sandalwood or desert rosewood; that is NOT what is in Flora Futura. Mugler states "hand of Buddha accord - little tree that gives fresh, crispy and sparkling notes".

Hand of Buddha is a variety of citron which is cultivated in China and Japan and is named for its appearance; the green or yellow fruit has long tapering fingers. If you click on the "citron" icon in the note pyramid and go to Fragrantica's citron page, there are two pictures at the very top of Hand of Buddha fruit. The fruits aren't edible, but are used in perfumery. In fact, there is a Hand of Buddha perfume made by DSH Perfumes, which is also listed on Fragrantica, although there are no reviews.

This is why the predominant notes of Flora Futura are citric, bright - and, yes - sparkling.

Night blooming cereus (at the time of writing) has been voted as the predominant note of FF - but it has a very dense vanilla-like scent - a prime example of its use is in Dior's Addict. Flora Futura is not a vanilla perfume.

Once the drydown is reached, FF smells more like the original Alien... but it's for people who don't like Alien, I think; it's Alien Light - a diet version. It's very pretty and suitable for warm spring and summer days.

ETA Excellent longevity for an EDT (hardly surprising, given it's Mugler) and sillage is moderate.

raiza1990

Pleasant fragrance. A bit sweet, a bit powdery. Different enough from the original Alien to justify it‘s existence. Although it is not very original, i like it more than the original Alien. It is feminine and light, good for spring, but a more intense floral note would not have hurt.

gelkita

Sprayed it on my skin and smelled it for 3 hours and I am disappointed as I don’t get any floral notes and the amber is ever so light ! (sad)

On me it smells exactly like Alien EDP but lighter / toned down version.
I haven’t compared it to Alien EDT, but I suspect it is the same.

Don’t blind buy if you already have Alien EDP or EDT, try it on your skin first.
I much prefer the Alien EDP, much creamier, cosy and longer lasting !

genny17

I like Alien Futura a lot, it is feminine, pretty, it does have in the top notes the Alien DNA, The jasmine is warm and rich..it tends to linger a bit..so the overall tone is mostly floral...whereas in Alien edp, The Jasmine amplifies, it gets more shy in Futura..the Amber dominates, and I love amber, Mugler does it so well.. I don't get much lemon I admit., although there is a natural juiciness also..I don't find it too much like Sublime, it takes a different direction...I like it way more!! It is almost summery , with a sunny aura, and a warm Amber ...I don't find longevity all that great , but on my skin , it lingers for a while..
I feel it is like an uplifting scent...after so many flankers, Mugler has yet to disappoint..this is one of the best in my opinion...lovely one!!

muahah

At first I got strong to Jasmin similar scent. It is less 'loud' and more wearable than other Aliens. White floral fresh, creamy, bitter, feminine and bit soapy. There is some weird note in background that for me seems... dirty. Maybe that is animalic note. After about hour it turns into inoffensive, floral based scent. Overall it's modern, feminine, fresh, slightly woody warm, cozy. It does have some character if compared to most mainstream perfumes. Almost inoffensive. With time it bacame less bitter and more aromatic.

Woman 25+.
Most seasons as long it's not hot.
Mostly evening.

MissyLucy

I managed to get a proper spray sample of this as I just couldn’t tell anything from the free card sample patch, but I thought it had potential. I’m so glad I did as it’s wonderful! Really powerful too for an edt. Mugler know how to do flankers and the bottle is to die for. I will be getting a full bottle of this for Spring/Summer.

MISIA777

This has become my favorite of the Alien line. I find it fresh and fuity in the opening/moddle andit becomes creamy sweet in the end. Absolutely love this. I saw some reviews on youtube and it didn't seem loke anybody was super crazy about it, but I adore it. This, angel muse, and womanity are my top three Mugler scents.

Chrysolaga

I find this to be a very pleasant floral with a hint of fruitiness and pepperiness but very much like the original Alien if only a slightly less intense version, such as an EDT. I don't smell the Epiphyllum oxypetalum flower fragrance from this, but that would be a hard fragrance to replicate, I imagine. I blind bought this and will not send it back, but I don't think I would have purchased it if I sampled it in a store first. I much prefer the sublime and extraordinaire flankers.

Flynt

I absolutely love this fragrance. I find it hard to wear the original Alien but this, to my nose is sparkly, effervescent and a total joy to wear. Still has the recognisable DNA of Alien however the top notes give a much lighter Champaigne type vibe. Floral and light and yet deep and with a weighty base. Perfect for spring and I found it very long lasting, especially for an edt. My favourite of all the flankers, bought it within 30 mins of trying it. One word to sum up would be ‘beautiful’.

msvrnon

A bit of a disappointment for me?
I got a sealed sample patch through the post and when I first opened it I got a hint of that summery modern jasmine but mostly a heavily dated (in my opinion) screechy floral smell. I thought it was just because it was concentrated so I applied it to my skin and I wanted it to transform and wow and be a summery ethereal goddess but it was just eh...

Maybe my chemistry does not agree but I don’t get the strong heady powerhouse that all other Mugler fragrances have, it just feels shy? After just half an hour it dries down to a very inoffensive sweet drug store body spray smell. It’s just nice, and I don’t really fall in love with just nice. I wish I could see some elegant dainty beauty in its understatement but it’s really not Mugler to me. Mugler scents are strong and bold whether you like it or not but it’s just average to my nose and I feel a bit sad about it.

Overall it smells alright, but that doesn’t cut it for me. I can imagine this being a fragrance that is highly giftable since you would smell it and go yes that’s pretty I can’t go wrong. I guess it would be a nice work/day perfume for a more mature lady, or someone that doesn’t like strong scents, someone who wouldn’t go near the other Muglers with a barge pole. It’s just very safe to me for a Mugler. There are a lot of perfumes that smell exactly like this as it hasn’t got spillage or longevity and no defining features to set it apart from mid range pretty scents that are also in pink bottles... Mugler has strayed into a bit of a cliche with this.

locksandpolish

Now available in the US. Just got mine in the mail today. I'm in love. Its so sweet and soft. Very floral and a bit powdery. Very elegant. Not super strong. Nor long lasting. But I like to layer though out the day. All citrus notes die down fast. It will be perfect for spring and summer. The bottle is so pretty too. So feminine.

Tovah

It's magnificent. Very possibly Mugler's best Alien flanker so far. It does have Alien DNA but it's so beautiful it deserves its own title. The bottle is charming, but Flora Futura could also be comfortable in Aura's bottle. I have some perfumes with the intoxicating smell of cactus flowers, but, I must say, Mugler's captures this mesmerizing aroma better than anybody else. I ordered directly from Mugler's website. I have no idea when or if it will come to any US department stores or boutiques, but this company will be missing out on massive sales if it doesn't. If you love cactus flowers, do NOT miss this scent. Get it right from the website! On my skin this smells extremely similar to Mugler Aura, but with a stronger white flower accord.

Wooster97

Aliens kinder and less eccentric sister !dont get me wrong Mugler will always be a genius for its odd,weird and wonderful fragrances ,but this new version of alien is calmer ,creamier and more subtle ,perfect for spring and summer !lingers with floral swirls ,and dominates with Ambery richness !beautiful fragrance !well done Thierry Mugler on yet another amazing fragrance

LoreleiBluebird

This is so pretty, it's unmistakably part of the Alien family, yet much softer and lighter. The opening is really beautiful.
I don't really find it has much staying power or sillage though, and there's something that lingers in a transparent soapy kind of way that I'm finding a bit annoying.

It's not for me, but maybe could be a Mugler for those who don't do Mugler? I was waiting for this to see if it would be the Alien I chose for my collection, but I think it will be the original for me,

AnitaHendricks

This scent is very different compared to the original Alien. There's a strong floral note that reminds me of Jasmin with a nice, woody, amber base. This could be a great warm weather version!

charlotteding

I received a sample of this today, it doesn't smell too much like alien (maybe ever so slightly but extremely faint) it's a fresh sweet smell on me, it's very nice but not as unique as alien

ballekom

smelled this today, at first I thought, yeah this is alien, then left the store, then I kept sniffing my wrist, this is a very wearable alien for people who find Alien unwearable.will probably go back to the store and buy it, because lets face it, there are whole laboratories and scientists at Mugler.Inc devising new ways to relieve me of my $$$. I like it....but then I also grew to like Aura

Tomelise

I am that person who is not the fan of MUGLER's fragrances and hates their whole Alien line.
HOWEVER! Since this one doesn't feature their typical jasmine I am excited about this new launch. Hopefully it will be different from all that they had before. Notes sound very interesting and quite unique. I personally love when BIG brands create something unique smelling, even though it is not always "comforting" and what we are used to. Thumb up for the try to be creative;)

ismellsogood

This perfume is a "let's step into spring and summer" fragrance. Hmm.. actually let's, hop, skip and leap into spring and Summer!

The bottle design is the lure here! Absolutely magical to look at. A stunning, mesmerising pink hue, reflecting brilliantly from the angled shapes like crystals. It's a treasure to own.

A balmy white floral with comforting amber notes.
This could be a perfect wedding day perfume for those tying the knot in warm climates.

It is special. However it is not groundbreaking. It's not a new fragrance we are all yearning for. It's just a beautiful, levelled fragrance it plays safe.


31.1.2018
Edited: after finally opening my box.. and spraying this delightful treasure, it's an amazing mix of the original alien perfume DNA WITH Christian Diors pure poison..in regards to what it reminds me of scent wise, emotion wise.


Alien Flora Futura contains the beautiful Queen of the night flower and a warm comforting trail of sandalwood and amber is perfection. I need to get a back up this is classic fragrance signature territory.

As an EDT it's longevity is as expected, but good. It's a must have for collectors and I am routing for a better scent trail when the weather warms up. Great for our friends in sunnier places x enjoy x

Mzurilove

cedar_lea

Ooo Night Queen fragrance oil was my signature as a teen so I'm really excited to see what Mugler does with it

ismellsogood

Beautiful bottle and fragrance. Very dreamy, enjoyable spring and summer heaven x

chowchow41

Its already available in the Netherlands at Douglas online. I ordered it yesterday and today i was able to test it. Its a mix of Alien eau extraordinaire and Alien Sunessence Or D'ambre at first spray. Its fresh at the start because of the citrus. I dont know what Buddha wood smells like or the night blooming cereus but it setlles in one of those two notes but one of these lingers and it smells lovely. It will not last as long because its an eau de toilette, but i love wearing it. Of course the botlle has a beautiful colour.

Nuppu

Soo want this! I normally do not like pink bottles but this one is beautiful. Alien flancers are all at least good, or really good, and I do prefer them over original Alien
