Perfumes Zag Zodiak 255 Mugler Alien Man is an Eau de Parfum. 255 Mugler Alien Man opens with Anise, Lemon, Lavender, and Thyme, settles into a heart of Cashmere Wood, Leather, Geranium, and Osmanthus, and dries down to a base of Amber, Vanilla, and Cashmeran. Perfumes Zag Zodiak's 255 Mugler Alien Man carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

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.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

255 AN follows Alien Man's core structure well, keeping the anise and lavender opening and the leather-cashmeran-white amber base that gave the original its warm, mysterious signature. This dupe adds dill, mint, beech and thyme to the top, giving it a greener, more herbal freshness than the real fragrance's simpler anise-lavender lead, and finishes with a vanilla sweetness that softens the base compared to Mugler's drier, more mineral white amber accord. The osmanthus and geranium additions in the heart give it a subtle floral lift the original doesn't have either. The overall effect stays close to Alien Man's confident, ambery-woody territory, just with more embellishment throughout and a sweeter landing than the original's cooler, more austere finish.
