Recently while flipping through the pages of a magazine I saw the advertisement for this perfume and became interested in the intentions of this strange perfume. The ad (shown above) features a space-aged women with an hour glass figure dramatically posed with her golden gown billowing about her...
When one thinks of an alien a rather freakishly distorted image comes to mind. The slogan for this perfume is "Feel Extraordinary" which is interesting considering the reputation aliens have as being monster-like. I decided come up with some reasons why this Perfume would be an attractive purchase for women and girls.
I think that Theirry wanted women to feel mysterious and exotic while wearing the perfume, aliens are a mystery and whether or not they exist is questionable; perhaps this perfume is an attempt to get females in touch with there inner secrets? I think people find mysterious things glamorous, perhaps this perfume aims at getting purchasers feeling glam?
The 'space' theme is very relevant both in the advertisement, the title of the perfume and the shape and design of the bottle. The bottle is very angular and reminds me of a space ship. The gold and purple are a vivid contrast and create a regal feel. I think this aspect of the perfume bottle encourages women to feel luxurious while wearing the perfume {although that totally contrasts towards the image of aliens and space ships}
Thierry is no stranger to perfume with a clear image. Thierry is also responsible for Angel and Womanity, both fragrances like Alien with a very direct and specific image.
There is something alluring about the unknown....and I think that is definitely something that this uniquely entitled perfume is striving to portray....
