Alien (Eau de Parfum)

Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong. Most voters pick winter and fall, and few wear it in summer. It suits night-out and evening wear best and is rarely chosen for the office. More than half of voters call it feminine, with the rest split between modern and classic.

The scent comes as one piece rather than in stages: jasmine sambac builds a floral, sweet core, cashmere wood settles it onto a woody, powdery base, and ambergris adds a warm, oriental depth. Spicy and synthetic touches give it a bright, slightly artificial edge.
