Do you know what she did? Alice?
She burped at midnight. In the basement!
What sacrilege!
Since I was 20, I have known and loved this perfume. Let me take one thing away first: The name is not the program. At least not in the way one might expect.
But it also raises the question of what one imagines under an "Alice."
My thoughts: sweet, nice, conforming, perhaps cheeky. But doesn’t everyone have a dark side that is hidden? I will spare the philosophical interpretation of "live your dark side" here ;), but if anyone feels inspired to do so spontaneously, please head to the basement).
Because I could even imagine a pure, beautiful, heavenly scent on a psychopath… after all, it is not the scent that defines character; the scent can highlight character.
So much for the deterrent, I hope you continue reading.
So there I was in my early 20s in the perfume store, and a nice woman in her forties introduced me to "Alice," back then there was Cheeky and Naughty as a set.
She said at the time that Naughty Alice was more for "ladies" her age, because naughty means something like indecent, wicked, or dirty.
Cheeky smelled very bright, cheerful, and positive. In Naughty Alice, I smelled something on the perfume-soaked cloth that caught me from the very beginning. I closed my eyes and thought of a cloud…
That was probably the musk. The black rose (there are no black roses…) lingers for me in the background as a red rose, the violet comes across as gentle and cheerful, wonderfully enchanting. I have to search for the Ylang Ylang, but I perceive it… somewhere.
The end of the story was that I chose Cheeky Alice and bought Naughty Alice a few months later. Ten years later, I still like it.
I find the sillage and longevity only mediocre; I know much stronger calibers.
Overall, I find the scent very successful. It is bright and not necessarily what I imagine under "naughty." It is elegant and also sexy for me.
But it is the interpretation and what one associates with something that makes it what it is for oneself. Lastly, it is always the wearer who makes the perfume, starting with skin chemistry.
But who knows what else Alice is up to in her basement. At midnight!
