Thierry Mugler chose Alcan Packaging Beauty to design the spray cap and base for its Alien fragrance. Design features include pale gold claws. The pale gold color of the spray cap was obtained through a specific formula for the electroplating bath. The base was produced with the same bath, and then glued to the bottle. The cap’s shoulders were made from Surlyn.
