Sahara Noir vs Alien

Sahara Noir is widely praised as an excellent incense fragrance among those who appreciate the genre, but its discontinuation has made it increasingly hard to find at reasonable prices. Community consensus is positive toward the scent itself, though some find it too linear and incense-focused, and many are frustrated by the high secondary market prices.

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.
