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.

If a sophisticated, modern amber is what you're after, this delivers. It's a crowd-pleasing, well-balanced scent that’s versatile enough to be a daily driver without ever being boring.

Alien Man

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Also Works:
Summer

Built on aromatic, warm spicy and fresh spicy - a composition that sits best in spring, autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
