Dossier - Ambery Cedarwood - Eau de Parfum - Perfume Luxury - Pure Infused - Paraben-Free - Vegan - For Women - Fragrance 1.7 oz (Spray 50ml)

Alien by Mugler is my favorite perfume but is normally $80-$120. The amber cedarwood dossier perfume is a well priced high quality alternative!! This is the second time I've ordered from dossier and I always get compliments on the perfumes, especially this one and the scent musky musk, highly recommend!

I am obsesssssed! This smells so good. I just got it and I need to order my back up! I am getting compliments already. It's sweet and sexy. I love it so much.

Love Dossier. Sadly I feel like with the brand’s burgeoning popularity, thanks in no small part to TikTok influencers, the quality has gone done (same bottle, same scent I purchased previously has a fraction of the longevity). *But* this scent is a happy exception and reminds me of what the brand once was. An excellent dupe and hits all the marks - complexity, longevity, sillage. Mugler’s Alien, which this is a dupe for, is a unique fragrance (which is what I love) but not for everyone, so I would caution you to pop in to a department store to sample before you buy this high end dupe, otherwise this is an excellent, highly engaging, scent and you can’t beat the value for the price.

First of all: great bottle size, great value for the money, excellent longevity. All of Dossier's scents that I've tried so far last and last and last and I was surprised at how far the bottle contents go. Like, I don't know if I'll ever run out, haha. But now, onto the review about the scent itself:If I were rating this scent on how much I liked it... I would honestly rate it lower. HOWEVER, I won't do that because it's not Dossier's fault or the perfume's fault, it's my own. The issue I have with this scent is that it is POWDERY — there's a distinctly 'baby powder' scent to it which I abhor, personally, and was not at all expecting upon reading the notes in it. I didn't read any reviews beforehand because I trusted Dossier (and still do, don't get me wrong) after buying their Fruity Magnolia as a dupe for Versace's Bright Crystal and it was SPOT ON and amazing. So I expected that THIS scent would be just as amazing based on the notes listed. The only note I wasn't familiar with was Heliotrope Flower... Which seems to have been my doing in. Heliotrope Flower, it seems, is what packs the powdery punch in this particular scent. As someone sensitive to smells I don't like, it makes this scent borderline unwearable. However, I'm stubborn and own up to my own mistakes so I didn't want to return it or rate it poorly and am determined to find some way to layer it in hopes of cutting through the powder smell. And to be fair, once it dries down some, the powdery smell is much less noticeable — it still comes and goes in waves which is a pain but if you ignore the powdery scent, it still has a lovely, bright, silky, fruity-woodsy scent. I just wish that somewhere in the information about the scent, it had mentioned SOMETHING about 'powdery.' If I had known, I would have opted for a different scent. That's the only reason I took off a star, so sorry.

The smell was less light and mashmellowy and more old lady and muskier.

Smells nice, but the scent doesn’t last long.

This perfume is a dead ringer, dupe for Terry Mugler's Alien perfume. I'm absolutely shocked. First, I love the bottle. Though it's plain, I love the fact that the cap is magnetic, making sure it seals without having to second guess. This perfume smells exactly like the real deal except it doesn't carry the couture price tag. You get ALOT for alot less money without any sacrifice. And the most insane fact to me was that this impressions company not only got the exact scent, but that it lasts just as long as the real thing! No alcohol dry down, no overwhelming musks, it fades beautifully like a song coming to a close that starts strong and finishes just as well. I will be reordering this and trying out the other scents! Don't second guess it! Buy this instead of Alien!

It was too cedar and floral, very strong smell. It lasted for a short time.
