I have a limited amount of vintage Alien Samples to offer. This is a batch from 2012 manufactured by Clarins (CFG) before their major reformulation! The juice is dark orange.
Labels that have “Mfd. For CFG Neuilly-Sur- Seine” are the reformulated Clarins Alien which is a much soapier, colder Alien that lacks the soul, depth and longevity of the original Alien! The juice is light orange.
The newest formula is being made by L’Oréal and the label will say “Mfd. For Azzaro Mugler Beautè” and smells nothing like Alien!
3 Ml holds approximately 38 sprays and is about a weeks worth! I fill my samples up 99% - unlike the half full 1.2 Ml carded samples. Samples are a great way to test a fragrance before spending $$$ on a full bottle! It’s becoming harder to find CFG Neuilly - France Aliens and even more rare to find the original batches from 2005-2010 which were manufactured under the “Theirry Mugler Parfums” ( I have 2 bottles!)
If it doesn’t say TM Parfums or CFG - Neuilly- France - it’s not the original or “Vintage” formula!

I totally noticed the change years back when I had my bottle refilled at Dillard's and no longer got those "damn, you smell good" comments from my nurses at work, LOL. Okay ... question: what is the shelf life of Alien? 😘

@1stavenuepeach My personally experience has been that if stored correctly, fragrances can last indefinitely.
Many fragrances will intensify over time- especially vanilla fragrances. Some fragrances don’t age well, particularly “fresh” fragrances, meaning citrus notes. I have a Shalimar from 1976 that smells better than the one I have from 2019.
All that to say, all my bottles of vintage Alien smell amazing! So I only purchase Alien from before the Clarins formulation (Neuilly sur sienne)

@wildechildrose Girl, now that makes too much sense, lol. I always keep mine on a shelf in my closet. I was just wondering about exp dates because no one brings them up. Anyhoo, so do your Alien samples smell close to the 2017 formula? (as in not soapy)

@1stavenuepeach I know! I did a lot of research in forums and spoken to others who also have large collections. Cool, dark places are best to store your fragrances- wine refrigerators are great!
This Alien smells like the original formula from back in 2008. This bottle is dated back to 2012. I think the 2017 is when they made the first major reformulation and it affected the performance.

@wildechildrose I remember now, you're totally right. I actually started wearing it a year prior in 2016. Okay shoppers, if you're reading this ... This Posh lady knows about fragrances!
