Dossier - Ambery Cedarwood - Inspired by Alien - Women EDP

I loved this perfume so much that I already bought another one! It smells amazing, lasts beautifully, and has quickly become one of my favorites. I’m absolutely in love with it and highly recommend it!

The smell is exactly like Alien!!!!!

I worked at VS the summer of 2008 and they released Very Sexy Dare. It was a very mature scent that I liked and I don’t even know what happened to the bottle after all these years. I ordered a tube of it since it’s discontinued and hard to find. I have a teen now and she kept using it all 😭 I’ve been looking for something competed and reading all sorts of reviews and scent note profiles.Thierry Mugler or however you spell it has Alien which is supposed to be a similar scent note profile. When I was searching around on Amazon, this dupe popped up. I figured I’d take a chance and if I didn’t like it, I could find someone to gift it to. It’s now a favorite of mine. I love the magnetic cap, I love that it lasts, the bottle size is perfect and it smells amazing. It lasts on my skin or on my clothes. I sprayed it on a hoodie and fell asleep in the hoodie, still woke up smelling amazing. This smells like some authentic $100+ perfume without breaking the bank. It’s sophisticated and sexy, not sweet or fruity. One or two sprays is plenty!

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.

I have ordered more than once. Never disappointed. Smells great.

Dossier used to sell the Thierry Mugler dupe under the name Oriental Floral 3, of which I still have an old bottle. I recently purchased the Alien dupe under new name Ambery Cedarwood and it’s been completely reformulated (the loss of cashmeran is not the only note missing). I used to wear Thierry Mugler’s Alien and still have bottles. The old Dossier was the perfect dupe. I also have a new bottle of L’Oreal’s Mugler Alien (it’s bad) but Dossier’s reformulated Alien is THE WORST! I’m selling on Mercari.

Absolutely love this scent. This is the first perfume that I've used every last drop! It took about 6 months of daily wear to finish the bottle.

I was hoping it truly smelled like alien. 👽 Yes, Yes and Yes it does. Love it!

OMG .....It smells sooo amazinnnggg..and it last long. I personally don't like too strong perfume and this is the one for me, the price is affordable .I love it ..Thanks Dossier..

Lovely smell
