Well…After so much research about Thierry Mugler perfumes I tried Alien Essence Absolue in a store, and I fell in love with its smell, as I didn’t plan to buy it on that day I came out of the store, but immediately I changed my mind and went to buy it , so again I tried both Alien Essence Absolue and the original one but the more I smell it the more I fell in love with it, so I ordered and bought it , but later in home when I opened its box I found that it’s a refill bottle and it doesn’t have the spray on it to use… anyways I informed the store and finally after so much talk they told me that you can change it with the original one, but I didn’t want to because I really loved its smell, and in the end, they decided to give me their own bottle. (Not to mention the problems of filling the bottle) now I'm really satisfied with having this perfume. So attention all! Don't make the same mistake as me. and be sure to check the bottle before you buy it! To me this perfume is more strong and pleasing than the original Alien, it reminds me of honey which is mixed with woody vanilla, it is Rich and seductive, and so far it’s the most expensive perfume that I’ve ever bought … although it Caused me so many troubles I love it soooooo much and I think it was worth it, the staying power and sillage is so intense & strong that I can still smell it not only from my dress but also from my whole room even after a week. It’s extremely long lasting, warm and sweet that may catch you by surprise. Now I'm proudly saying that it is one of my favorites. UPDATE: Unfortunately I Heard That This Perfume Has Officially Been Marked As Discontinued. :'( Longevity: 10/10 Sillage: 9/10 PERFUMES __________ Alien Essence Absolue Refill Bottle MUSIC(S) IN THIS VEDIO _____________________ / ikson @Ikson HI ALL~~~My Name is Nadia welcome to my channel and thanks for watching my Videos!
