Finally bought the Alien perfume I have been coveting as a 40th birthday present to myself. Ended up going to this crazy event to get it - the guys at the perfume section at Macy's wouldn't let me just buy the perfume on Monday. They told me I had to pre-buy it and then come to the event - "free gifts and a supermodel!" they told me.
I dressed up a little, just in case I got discovered. It was a nice event, the supermodel was a guy, which I wasn't expecting, but didn't mind. He told me that he was in one of the Terminator movies. I didn't want to get my photo taken with him, but I did let him give me an autographed photo, on which he wrote "Keep Smelling Good" or something to that effect.
Looking at the ad copy on my perfume box - and I quote..."...Alien Liquer de Parfum is aged in oak casks to reveal a rich and sensual fragrance with woody amber notes that are subtly almondy. Do not drink."
Ooooo and there is a secret code to register on the inside of the package! I did it and and I got sucked into a marketing website.
But I do have to say, after looking at that site, Thierry Mugler has some cool stuff. And I smell good.
