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.
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.
