Which Should You Buy?
Divisive, unique, and for some, an absolute masterpiece. Mugler's Alien Man is either a love-it-or-hate-it scent that challenges the mainstream, or it's a generic let-down. You've got to try it yourself to find out.
No. 390 mirrors Mugler's Alien Man closely in structure - lavender-anise top, leather-cashmeran heart, white amber base - but the leather is softer and less resinous, so the polarising, provocative edge people either love or hate about the original is dialled well back here.

Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its unique, sometimes 'weird' profile and decent projection limit its office suitability, but the comforting, spicy warmth and leather make it excellent for dates, casual outings, and even slightly formal events, with minimal sport appeal given its depth.
