Thoughts
If you’ve tried the original Alien in the purple bottle, you’ll be aware that it’s a strong, intense and delicious perfume. The Essence Absolue variety it no different. It is a truely stunning fragrance. It is without a doubt one of my favourite scents … ever!
It is a rich, warm scent, with strong notes of vanilla it is perfect for the autume or winter. It’s not a light fragrance, it is quite intense, and I think you do really need to like vanilla, a lot, to appriciate how delicious this is.
The perfume lasts extremely well, two little squirts on my neck, and the scent is still present at the end of the day. I think it’s more suited as an evening perfume, but as I don’t follow perfume rules – I wear it all the time. I get regular comments about how nice it is, and people always ask what it is.
Pro’s
- Scent lasts for ages
- Bottles are refillable
- Smells absolutely gorgeous
Con’s
- It’s pretty expensive
- Not to everyone’s taste
Finally
I really do adore this perfume. It is totally me. I am a massive vanilla fan and I love rich strong scents. This is ideal. It is probably more suited to females 30+ as it is a heavy perfume, it’s not for the faint hearted!
Ask for a tester before splashing out on the full sized bottle, I think this perfume will be like marmite, you’ll either love it or hate it.
