Alien Red is a Temu perfume marketed as a take on Alien Fusion, described as a bold amber floral with spicy warmth. Based on its listed notes, you’d expect heat, depth, and contrast—something fiery, sensual, and grounded.
Unfortunately, the fragrance does not deliver what it promises.
🌸 Claimed Notes
- Top: Ginger, Cinnamon
- Middle: Orange Blossom, Tuberose
- Base: White Amber, Vanilla
👃 How Alien Red Actually Smells
From the very first spray, Alien Red opens as a sickeningly sweet, highly synthetic floral. The scent is loud and immediate, with what smells like a tuberose-dominant accord that overwhelms everything else.
Despite the note list, there is:
- ❌ No ginger
- ❌ No cinnamon
- ❌ No spice or warmth
There’s no evolution into amber richness or vanilla depth either. Instead, the scent stays linear—sweet, artificial, and overpowering from start to finish.
If you’re expecting a spicy amber floral with intrigue, this will feel disappointing and misleading.
⏱ Performance: The Only Bright Spot
Alien Red does perform well in terms of strength.
- Projection: Strong and noticeable
- Longevity: Lasts several hours on skin
That said, performance alone can’t compensate for a scent profile that feels unbalanced and poorly executed.
🔍 Dupe Accuracy
As a supposed alternative to Alien Fusion, Alien Red misses the mark entirely. There’s no similarity in warmth, structure, or overall vibe. This does not function as a dupe in scent, feel, or experience.

❌ Final Verdict: Skip
Alien Red is a good example of why note lists alone can be misleading—especially with ultra-cheap fragrances. While it projects well and lasts, the scent itself is synthetic, overly sweet, and inaccurately marketed.
If you’re shopping Temu perfumes and want something that actually smells good and matches its description, this one isn’t it.
