Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Alien Man EDT
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.
Favourite
Our Verdict - 255 Mugler Alien Man EDP
Keeps Alien Man's anise-lavender-leather-white amber spine intact, with a greener, herbal top and an added vanilla sweetness the original doesn't carry.

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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.

Seasons

Autumn Winter

Occasions

Also Works:
Date Casual

Mysterious and warm enough for dates, versatile enough for casual wear.
