Quick take

AI-assisted summary of the notes, prices and community notes listed on this page; no bottle was smelled. How this site is made

Every dupe on this list is a seller's own "inspired by" claim rather than a community-verified match, so the field is unranked. On price per ml, ALT. Fragrances' "Terrestrial" is the cheapest at $0.48/ml, making it the lowest-cost way to test the concept. For fuller labelling, Oil Perfumery names the original outright in its listings ("Impression of Thierry Mugler - Alien" and the Alien Extraintense variant), so if you want a house that is explicit about which version it's targeting, start there, at $1.25/ml.

No notes are listed for any of the six dupes, only for the original: Orange Blossom, Cashmeran, Ambergris, Jasmine Sambac, Heliotrope, Amber and Cardamom. That means there's no way to check here whether a given dupe actually reproduces that cashmeran-driven woody-musk base or the orange blossom and jasmine top. Since every basis is a seller claim, treat closeness to Alien as unconfirmed until you've smelled it yourself.

How to read this table

A seller claim means the clone house itself published that the product is inspired by Alien. We quote the claim; we have not smelled the bottles. A community pairing means the seller does not name the original and the match comes from reviewer consensus, graded close or moderate.

Price per ml is the honest comparison. Perfume oils look cheap per bottle but come in 10 ml vials; a 100 ml Middle-Eastern EDP at $35 is $0.35/ml and usually the strongest performer in the group. Extraits from clone houses sit in between.
