Which Should You Buy?
A refreshing, citrus-tea twist on the Alien DNA. It's a crowd-pleaser for those who found the original too much, offering a brighter, more wearable take perfect for daytime. The big downside? It's discontinued, making it a frustratingly elusive gem now. Mugler needs to bring it back ASAP!
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.
