May M. The only thing I ever knew about Vivienne Westwood was her clothing designs. They were always a bit out there and unconventional.
Her perfume bottle wasn't as outlandish as her designs but was rather quite simple. Even the cheeky name Naughty Alice gave me the impression it would be daring and out of the ordinary. However, never judge a perfume by it's bottle.
I underestimated how great it would smell. I would describe it as being powdery and floral which matched the chemistry of my skin very well. I smelled vanilla every time I would spray it but the odd part was that vanilla wasn't even one of the notes in the fragrance. It might have been the Ylang-Ylang which is a bit on the sweet side.
I would've never picked this up in a million years, as I tend to be stuck in my ways and stick with what I know, but I'm glad I decided to venture out. Going out of your comfort zone can definitely surprise you! Claire Low 02 May Will make you feel like you fell down a rabbit hole, into the magical world of Dame Viv. There's a lot to adore - from the so-sweet iconic charm to the too-pretty fragrance that hints at fun times.

Home Beautiful. The black rose there are no black roses I have to look for Ylang Ylang, but question him Ten years later, I still like him Silage and durability I find only mediocre, I know completely different calibers.
All in all I find the fragrance very successful. He's bright, and now he's not exactly what I think of as naughty. It's elegant for me and sexy too. But it's the interpretation and what you associate with something that makes the difference for you. Last but not least, it is always the carrier and the wearer that makes the perfume, started with the skin chemistry.
But who knows what else Alice does, in her basement. At midnight! Helpful Review 1. Not in the least naughty. A very shy, unspectacular vanilla-scent. Powdery, light. Poor staying-power. Another generic scent. Nowadays only the various perfume bottles help to tell the scents apart. A very sad trend. Helpful Review 3. I have to stop this: my bad habit of buying scents that I have not already tested.
It is too expensive, and since the world of perfumes is infinite, or at least tremendously big I will never be able to test all the existing samples anyway. So my effort is meaningless, a bit like Sisyphus, climbing his mountain forever. So why on Earth do I keep on doing it? Purchasing new, unknown fragrances? A good example on why I love doing it is Naughty Alice. I bought it from a Parfumo member, among other scents and out of pure curiousity. Contacting the person because of some other interesting bottles in her collection, I thought: Oh why not, I am paying the same amount for shipping so I might as well order this one.
When the package arrived I left this bottle in the closet for about ten days, because I had to try the other scents first.
When I finally brought Alice out in the sunlight I instantly fell in love. She starts out flower and powder, the most pleasing combination I have experienced.
And she is not leaving soon. She stays for more than hours, slowly disappearing in a haze of the lovely notes of violets and ylang-ylang.
