Naughty Alice

Naughty Alice by Vivienne Westwood is a soft, powdery floral scent centered around violet, ylang-ylang, rose, and musk. It opens with a delicate blend of sweet violets and light floral notes, forming a gentle, clean impression. Over time, it settles into a warm, inviting musk with a subtle underlying sweetness that feels more like powdered vanilla than actual vanilla. The scent is distinctly innocent and feminine—reminiscent of old-fashioned perfumes, baby powder, or a well-loved floral sachet from a vintage wardrobe—though it avoids being cloying or overly sweet. It performs best when worn close to the skin and is most suitable for spring and autumn, with some users reporting it works well even in cooler winter conditions. While the name suggests a bolder, more provocative fragrance, the actual scent is refined, subtle, and undeniably 'naughty' only in the most playful sense—like a whispered secret rather than a bold declaration. It offers moderate longevity and a low-to-moderate sillage, making it ideal for daily wear, bedtime, or light occasions where a gentle, comforting scent is desired.
