Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Alien Sunessence Edition Limitee 2011 Or d'Ambre EDT
A truly divisive Alien flanker - some adore its creamy kiwi-amber twist on the original's jasmine, finding it a tropical dream. Others are left cold by synthetic soapiness or overpowering sweetness, calling it an instant headache. Definitely try before you buy.
Acquired
Our Verdict - External Light For Women EDP
A budget take on Mugler's sun-soaked Alien Sunessence, External Light recreates the fruity kiwi opening, solar orchid-vanilla heart and warm amber drydown. It captures the sunny, sensual amber-floral spirit, though it reads a touch flatter than the discontinued original.
