By the editors · 2 min readThis shimmer-gilded Alien flanker reads sunny rather than nocturnal. Tunisian neroli and bergamot open clean and bright, with a green tea infusion threading underneath — slightly tannic, slightly bitter, just enough structure to keep the citrus from going syrupy.
Tiare flower at the heart adds a creamy, suntan-lotion warmth without the heaviness of full tropical white florals. It feels skin-warm, not perfumed.
The drydown is cashmeran, heliotrope, and white amber: powdery, soft, milky-woody, with a slight almond shimmer from the heliotrope. The original Alien's solar oriental DNA is still there, but trimmed and translucent — a beach-day version of the same idea, designed to sit closer to skin in heat.
