Innocent by Theirry Mugler

I got this perfume around January this year and I would describe it as a hit and miss fragrance. You either love or hate it. First impressions were its top notes which were so over powering. When I first sprayed it on, I was sure this fragrance wasn't for me and I assumed that the middle and base notes were nothing impressive.Top notes consist of bergamot and mandarin orange, I couldn't tell these made up the notes until I looked them up and I was very surprised because the combination sounds like they would work together in harmony but for some reason it doesn't work at all for me.

But then, since I already sprayed it on my skin as I was testing it, I eventually smelt the base notes and I was surprised. It was musky, dark, sparkly and sophisticated. 

This was the reason I ended up getting the perfume.

As soon as I wore it a few times though, unfortunately I ended up giving this perfume away as I just couldn't stand the top and middle notes. It took forever to settle to the base notes and gave me a headache in the process. I'm disappointed but I notice that there is a lighter version of this perfume released and I am assuming it is because other people are also finding this fragrance too overpowering.

Alien by Theirry Mugler

I'm not fond of strong smelling perfumes. Occasionally, I'd be in the mood for them - usually in the evenings. Otherwise light - medium scents are more suiting.
However this perfume captivated me the moment I smelt its sample in the ELLE magazine. I'd say it's unique (you'd be able to distinguish this on its wearer because it doesn't resemble other perfumes in any way).
I absolutely like this - a lot! Though I do think, in my opinion, this is for women between the ages of late 20s - 30s (just giving you an idea on how mature it smells =P).
If you love Oudh based scents, this would be perfect...
Below you see 30ml & 60ml bottles, which came in a box, including a pouch and a funnel (used for refilling).
The 30ml is very handy - ideal for travelling - and the pouch is even more convincing.


Since perfumes have very complex scents...until I get used to describing scents...I shall, from time to time, use descriptions from other sites.
Below is a description of this perfume from The Perfume Shop:

Distinctive and mysterious, yet comforting and soft, Alien by Thierry Mugler conveys passion sensuality and the essence of absolute femininity.

A rich floral woody amber containing jasmine sambac, cashmeran wood and white amber it is a fragrance whose magic trails awakens your emotions.

A scent like no other it is irresistibly appealing and totally out of this world...

One thing I didn't like about this is...it can be a teeny tiny bit oily! So it you spray too close to your skin and too much, it might leave a bit of oil residue. My tip: Rub it all over to avoid this ^.^
Good thing is...this stays for a long long time on your skin...several hours. And even longer on your clothes - several days for me! Because of this, I just love spraying some on my hair ;) just a little tip...
