Monsoon (original) is fondly remembered by the community as an excellent 90s oceanic fragrance that balanced fresh floral notes with warm woody undertones without excessive calone. The fragrance is now highly sought after and difficult to find, with collectors paying premium prices for remaining vintage bottles, making it an irreplaceable scent for those who wore it.

Mugler Alien is a divisive fragrance with a passionate but divided fanbase. While dedicated fans praise its distinctive jasmine character and strong performance, a significant portion of the community finds it overhyped, with the Goddess flanker particularly criticized for having an unpleasant sunscreen-like quality. The fragrance's polarizing nature makes it a risky blind buy despite its iconic status.
