Alien Sublime Eau de Toilette vs Obsession Night Woman Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This Alien flanker is a divisive one. Fans love its brighter, creamier take on the original, while critics find it redundant or, worse, downright unpleasant. If you're after a lighter, more citrusy Alien, this might be your jam - but sample first, because not everyone's on board.
Don't let the name fool you - this one's a day-wear darling, not a dark diva. It's a divisive scent; some find it a comforting, musky cloud, others a harsh, masculine mess. Approach with an open mind, and perhaps a blind buy if you're feeling lucky and value a bargain.
