| ALIAGE PERFUME REVIEW BY TEAL |
| i'd been using the "old" formulation since my mom took me to a dept. store several decades ago. my guy loved it when we met, said it seemed to softly drift in and out on room air currents, never cloying or heavy. don't recall when it was i got a bottle of the "new" formulation, but i didn't like it when i applied it, and when i passed him in the living room, he asked what i had on and actually winced. thanks for cutting corners, estee lauder. |

| ALIAGE PERFUME REVIEW BY NORTHERNER |
| I've worn this fragrance since it first came out. I never tell anyone what it is, and I've heard literally hundreds of "you smell SO good" comments over the years. It works for me. I hope Estee never discontinues it because it is one of their less popular scents. I'll keep buying it forever. |

| ALIAGE PERFUME REVIEW BY JC |
| In the realm of materials that smell green, Galbanum resin is the odd man out. Instead of fresh, sharp and vegetal, it smells chalky and bittersweet with a poisonous, cold, shadowed character, reminiscent sometimes of dark chocolate, sometimes of old wood. In composition, it can serve as air-conditioning; in the original Vent Vert (Balmain 1947), a March wind; in Chanel No. 19 the cold shoulder of an ice queen. In 1972 Aliage used a ton of it to make an anisic rose-and-vetiver fragrance feel dry and powdery, which is probably why Lauder marketed it as the first sports fragrance, since it smells logically inconsistent with perspiration. The fragrance today is perhaps less intensely bitter herbal, less powdery, a touch more floral - but still very, very good. |

| ALIAGE PERFUME REVIEW BY C. POOLE |
| This is summer in a bottle. When I smell it, instant memories come back of me walking home from school and seeing my dad mow the grass. I treasure the smell of Aliage because no other perfume can give me that. Yes, it is the greenest of the greens and the sportiest of the sport scents. However, the sport scents of today are loaded with synthetic fruits and water lilies that might last two hours. Put Aliage on in the morning, and in the evening you still have a beautiful woodsy-herbal scent that lingers. Such quality ingredients that Lauder still has maintained the original formula, I never want to be without it when the warm months roll around. I have never been crazy about the bottle, but love the scent. |

| ALIAGE PERFUME REVIEW BY CHRISTINA |
| Alliage is French for "alloy" or "mixture", but I think it was the beautiful sound of the word, rather than its meaning, that must have recommended it to Lauder when the company launched its "sport" perfume in 1972.
Like most green perfumes, you´ll either like or loathe Alliage. It´s a hugely uncompromising perfume, and fearless in its nose-thumbing, which extends even to its fellow greenies.
For a start, with the exeption of a very quick whiff of jasmine, it ignores flowers altogether and even goes easy on the woods. There´s no sweetness in it, no attempt to soften the blow of strong green harmonies with the audacious quantities of nutmeg and citrus oils.
Its basic note is galbanum, a strong green sap from the middle east that is both sharp and pungent. To this is added a zesty crush of green leaves and citrus, before the middle note of nutmeg adds its characteristic haunting spiciness.
This is pretty strong stuff, immediately steering the mix in a most adventurous and assertive direction, which turns out to be the forest floor, where oakmoss from the Balkans and vetyver from Java are taken on board to give a soft, almost musty, mossy pervasion.
Alliage isn´t heavy - but it is insistent. Its evergreen spirit is perfectly aligned to people possessing a sense of fun, of competitiveness, and with an uncomplicated attitude. All - American, you might say.
It is hyperactive, tenacious and very compelling in its unorthodox way. In the Lauder lineup it´s not madly popular, but has a devoted clientele who prefer its dry honesty to the hotbeds of over - cultivated sophistication.
What to wear it with, where and when ?
Anything green exept a ballgown will do ! Wonderful in the heat of the day but a flop at night.. |
