Mugler - Alien Eau Sublime

Some of the Mugler fragrances seem to be quite polarizing in the fragrance community at large.  It seems that many have very strong opinions one way or another about each release, myself included.  When I had the opportunity to try this new Alien flanker, I was cautiously optimistic.

Eau Sublime (“Sublime”) takes the classic Alien jasmine jammy heaviness and lightens it with solar notes.  The perfumer has significantly softened the opening with this flanker.  Sublime opens as a light, fresh, lemony citrus touched with a soft jasmine and tiare flower.  There is a bright airiness to Sublime that is not present in the original.  As the juice wears, the heliotrope lends a floral vanilla powderiness to the fruity floral.  The heliotrope adds a slight sweetness without coming near the sweetness of Eau Sucree.

The drydown mimics the base notes of the original giving us the cashmeran wood and amber.  The florals are balanced by the woody vetiver.  There is more of a creaminess to Sublime.  Sublime feels like a sunny, summertime fragrance (although could be worn year round) and is far more approachable and wearable than the original.

Sublime wears on me with a moderate projection for roughly 6 – 7 hours.

Notes:  lemon, orange, mandarin, galbanum, solar flowers, jasmine, cherry blossom, tiare flower, heliotrope, cashmere, woody vetiver, white amber
