A cuckoo's egg
The fact that I tested Alien Flora Futura at all is due to my experience with blind tests. I had noticed that I was enthusiastic about a fragrance of the brand Agent Provocateur, from which I would knowingly not have touched any more fragrance, because I found all the tested ones hideous. It's the same theoretically with the aliens, who in my nose are not only horrible, no, even worse, horrible, unbearable. But I learned something new: Thanks to my agent provocateur experience, I tested Alien Flora Futura.
with great courage
And that was a good thing, because I like Alien Flora Futura. I like it so much that I have saved a remaining bottle on an auction platform.
Already in the beginning I am surrounded by surprisingly friendly, fresh flowers with a fine, natural sweetness. But typical for me with Mugler's scents, I can't clearly assign the flowers. The freshness obviously comes from a citrus fruit, most likely I smell mandarin.
Already in the first minutes I notice a somewhat more artificial note, which I also find to be flowery.
Until then it is for me a very interesting scent, unusual, like many Muglers, even if I do not like them all. Alien Flora Futura is not a sweet floral scent that you have smelled a thousand times before, but this mixture of familiar and strange flowers has a very special charm.
As a teenager I was lucky enough to smell a flower of the Queen of the Night. She smelled divine and incredibly intense! Even though I can no longer evoke this scent experience in detail today, I still think that I would remember if this or a very similar scent came under my nose again.
Here stands Queen of the Night in the pyramid, but I don't recognize her
After all, it doesn't matter. I like Alien Flora Futura even without it reminding me of the scent of a queen of the night.
The sweet floweriness remains for a few hours, partly familiar, partly strange, but always soft and friendly, while now some powder is added in the background.
Now I notice a very specific note, which I know from another Mugler fragrance and which I haven't smelled anywhere else. It's just a lot more subtle than that. I recognize a hint of the green-spicy portion of aura, EDP.
This note remains in the background, while the base develops more and more powdery without becoming stuffy. But I don't recognize Sandel or Amber. I'd rather bet on a little subtle heliotrope.
With good will, the powder's a little woody. The sweetness becomes more discreet towards the end.
Personally, I can't complain about the shelf life. About 7 hours is already completely o.k., I think. Also the Sillage is at least in the beginning quite strong and retreats only towards the base.
At the end there is a powdery residue with a slight flowery touch and a hint of Aura EDP.
Why do I like an alien? The question is simply answered: Because this alien has nothing, in my opinion nothing at all, in common with the other aliens.
And so this Flanker comes under a misleading name for me. He seems like a cuckoo's egg to me: That's when Aura smuggled an egg into the alien's nest.
