Boots slashes 20% off Mugler's Alien perfume that 'smells amazing' and 'lasts all day'
A beloved Mugler fragrance that customers adore has been discounted in a rare sale at Boots. The Alien Refillable Eau De Parfum 30ml - arguably one of the brand's most iconic scents - has seen its price cut by 20% on the health and beauty retailer's website.
This means customers can grab the floral woody scent for £55 instead of £69. The feminine perfume is suitable for wear throughout the year, with notes of white amber, cashmeran wood, and jasmine sambac.
One customer was seriously taken with the scent, titling their review 'by far the greatest'. Alternatively, other fragrances currently on offer include Marc Jacobs' Perfect Intense 50ml Eau De Parfum Spray which is reduced to £40 from £102 at The Perfume Shop.
One customer described the Marc Jacobs scent as 'one of my favourite daily perfumes' reports OK!. The fragrance features notes of daffodil and blooming jasmine, along with sandalwood and roasted almonds.
Another option is Yves Saint Laurent's Libre Eau De Parfum (30ml) that one LookFantastic customer said 'lasts a long time'. It's been discounted on the beauty retailer's website from £72 to £58 and carries notes of tangerine, neroli, and jasmine.
If customers have their sights set on Mugler's Alien perfume, it's worth noting that while the classic scent boasts a 4.8 star rating out of five at Boots, not all customers are fans.

One customer remarked: "This fragrance was good for the first couple of hours after applying it. Half way through the evening the fragrance was almost gone. For the price of it I do not think it is worth the money."
Another described it as 'rather overpowering.' As a beauty writer, I'd say Alien is suitable for both day and night, and whilst it's sweet, it's not too sickly.
Despite mixed opinions, the perfume, which boasts over 1,800 reviews on Boots, has a legion of admirers. A satisfied customer shared in their review: "Wow! What can I say? It is amazing! I bought this perfume over a year ago now since I smelt it on many people and I couldn't resist not asking them what it is as it smells absolutely amazing.
"It is such a feminine scent and is very strong which means a little goes a long way as it lasts all day." Shoppers can purchase the Muglier Alien perume here.

Alien: Earth release date, cast, trailer and plot as Xenomorphs take over TV screens
Alien: Earth is the latest instalment in the Alien franchise and is set to arrive on Disney+ in just a week's time Alien: Earth, the eagerly awaited TV extension of the iconic Alien franchise, takes its cues from Ridley Scott's seminal 1979 horror film. Hot on the heels of last year's Alien: Romulus, the blood-curdling space thriller is back with a vengeance, offering another chilling perspective on the lethal Xenomorphs. This eight-part series springs from the creative genius of showrunner Noah Hawley, celebrated for his work on Fargo and Legion, both critically lauded reinterpretations of the Coen Brothers' eponymous film and the X-Men universe. Hawley is gearing up to unveil his latest FX collaboration shortly, with Alien: Earth set to land on Disney+ and Hulu in just a week's time, ready to send shivers down the spines of fans across the globe. As the new series stands on the brink of becoming another streaming sensation, let's delve into what we know so far about this enigmatic extension of the Alien narrative, reports the Express. When does Alien: Earth hit our screens? The opening two episodes of Alien: Earth are slated for release on Tuesday, 12th August on FX and FX on Hulu stateside. However, British viewers will have to exercise a bit more patience as the episodes will be available the following day, Wednesday 13th August, on Disney+. The remainder of the inaugural season will then unfold episodically, with fresh episodes dropping every Tuesday in the US and Wednesdays in the UK. So far, four episodes have been given official titles, kicking off with the two-part opener Neverland and Mr. October, followed by Metamorphosis and Observation. Who is in the cast of Alien: Earth? The series boasts a star-studded cast led by up-and-coming actress Sydney Chandler, who portrays Wendy, a synthetic body imbued with human consciousness, referred to as a hybrid. Chandler, daughter of Hollywood star Kyle Chandler, is recognised for her performance in Don't Worry Darling and last year's Colin Farrell-fronted thriller, Sugar. Other big names include Deadwood's Timothy Olyphant as Kirsh, a synthetic, and Andor's Alex Lawther as CJ 'Hermit', Wendy's human brother and a medic. The main cast also comprises: Samuel Blenkin as Boy Kavalier, the human CEO of the Prodigy Corporation Essie Davis as Dame Silvia, a human Adarsh Gourav as Slightly, a hybrid Kit Young as Tootles, a hybrid David Rysdahl as Arthur, a human scientist and Dame Silvia's husband Babou Ceesay as Morrow, a cyborg (human with some synthetic parts) security officer Jonathan Ajayi as Smee, a hybrid Erana James as Curly, a hybrid Lily Newmark as Nibs, a hybrid Diêm Camille as Siberian, a human soldier Adrian Edmondson as Atom Eins The series will additionally feature Moe Bar-El, Sandra Yi Sencindiver, Richa Moorjani, Karen Aldridge, Enzo Cilenti, Max Rinehart, Amir Boutrous, Victoria Masoma, Tom Moya, Andy Yu, Michael Smiley, Jamie Bisping and Tanapol Chuksrida in supporting roles.

While most plot details remain shrouded in mystery, fans can glean a rough idea of what the first season holds from its brief synopsis. Confirmed as a prequel set two years prior to the original Alien film, it sees a terrifying alien menace pitted against an unlikely band of heroes following a catastrophic collision with Earth. The synopsis teases: "When the space vessel Maginot crash-lands on Earth, a young woman and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet's biggest threat." Is there a trailer for Alien: Earth? Eager Alien fans can now feast their eyes on the thrilling new series with a two-minute trailer that dropped in early June. The gripping teaser, launched with the ominous words "We were safer in space", introduces Wendy's character as the first-ever hybrid leading a squad of synthetic-humans on a daring rescue mission in the wake of the Maginot's downfall. Moreover, the trailer unveils a pivotal twist for the Alien saga, revealing that the Xenomorph wasn't the only creature aboard the ship; four other entities from the "darkest corners of the universe" are also set to unleash chaos on Earth. Alien: Earth premieres Tuesday, 12th August on FX and FX on Hulu and Wednesday, 13th August on Disney+.

Sydney Chandler describes experience on the Alien: Earth TV series as ‘a joy'
The 29-year-old American actress plays Wendy, a humanoid robot with human consciousness, in Emmy-winning producer Noah Hawley's new series based on the acclaimed franchise. The Alien franchise began with Sir Ridley Scott's 1979 film starring Sigourney Weaver as warrant officer Ellen Ripley, who takes on an extra-terrestrial lifeform called the Xenomorph. The new eight-episode series sees Wendy and a group of tactical soldiers make a discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet's greatest threat. Chandler, who starred in Olivia Wilde's psychological thriller Don't Worry Darling and Danny Boyle's miniseries Pistol, about the Sex Pistols, said she was lucky to have such a supportive cast for her first lead role. 'I felt like every day I was showing up to an incredible acting class,' Chandler told the PA news agency. 'I'm new to this game, and so it was just a joy to be able to work with such a supportive and such a giving cast who were there to play.' Speaking of her character, she said: 'There's so many layers to her and she's just a juicy character to jump into. 'I did as much prep as you can for a character, there's no research you could do. 'I really found my character once I started working off everybody.' Alien: Earth is set in the year 2120, when the Earth is governed by five corporations: Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic and Threshold. In this corporate era, cyborgs and synthetics, which are humanoid robots with artificial intelligence, exist alongside humans, but the world is changed when the founder of the Prodigy corporation unlocks a technological advance: hybrids (humanoid robots infused with human consciousness). Wendy, the first hybrid prototype, marks a new advance in the race for immortality and after Weyland-Yutani's spaceship collides into Prodigy City, Wendy and the other hybrids encounter new and terrifying life forms. The cast includes Deadwood actor Timothy Olyphant as Kirsh, Black Mirror star Alex Lawther as Hermit, Mary And George's Samuel Blenkin as Boy Kavalier, Guerrilla actor Babou Ceesay as Morrow and Bottom star Adrian Edmondson as Atom Eins. Blenkin said the filming experience was made a lot easier due to Hawley's practical approach to special effects. 'We were lucky on this show because we're not doing much acting with tennis balls or anything like that that you do in a show where there's a lot of CGI,' the 29-year-old actor explained. 'Noah was really intent upon everything being practical. 'There's no acting required when Cameron, the vegan New Zealander, is wearing a Xenomorph suit and is leering over you and drooling, and it's animatronic and it's real. 'It was just a joy. We turn into kids on those sets.' Hawley, who is best known for creating the Fargo TV series, said the 'imperfections of reality are scarier than the sort of bloodlessness of computer-generated images'. 'All I'm trying to do is create the same feelings that you had when you watched Ridley's film or James Cameron's film,' the 57-year-old writer and director explained. 'Some of that we're able to achieve in new ways, but some of it is literally going back to the original cinema of optical illusions.' Alien: Earth will launch on Disney+ on August 13.
