Description
Vivienne Westwood presents a new fragrance named Cheeky Alice, “the sexier older sister” of the Naughty Alice edition. New Alice is described as sparkling, mischievous, magical and mesmerizing. The fragrance is feminine, provocative and intense.
On the top of the composition, gentle lily of the valley awaits and leads to the opulent floral heart of peony and rose, placed on the woody and musky base.
The bottle looks like it features a magical potion, decorated with a red bracelet that fastens with two hearts, symbolizing the irresistible magnetism of Cheeky Alice. The fragrance is available as 30, 50 and 75 ml Eau de Toilette.
Cheeky Alice was launched in 2011.

I agree this is a lovely scent. More like Classy Alice.
So, is naughty Alice. I have and like both. Sweet,powdery and
ladylike. Soft but long lasting scent. I am considering adding flirty Alice to my little collection. Nice perfumes.

That’s a very lovely scent if you like lily of the valley as it’s the main note that I’m getting. I’m not sure how come this perfume got it’s name Cheeky as to me it strikes as more a Classy scent.
ХеХе – :
Cheeky? Hardly
She’s a well-behaved, well brought-up and conservative prim and proper English lady. It’s Mary Poppins, Alice (as in Alice in Wonderland. I would not be surprised if Vivienne Westwood wears this herself. Far from being a slut (as in Boudoir) Cheeky Alice is a lovely floral fragrance that exudes Anglo elegance. It’s rather simple and not at all complex, so it won’t make a statement the way Boudoir does. It’s a skin scent that sits close to the skin and can be detected only by you.
The first spritz is a lily of the valley. She is green, white-floral and fresh, like they took lilies and put them into water and let them cool in a greenhouse or flower shop. I’ve smelled this before. This is a very bland green floral opening that reminds me of gardens and floral shops, nothing that screams cheeky, naughty, or flirty (I’ve just listed the names of the other flankers)
Cheeky is my favorite of the series. This is a well composed floral. The lilies come and go and in comes the rose and peony, as delicate as can be, a bit powdery but definitely a rose that appeals to my tastes. She is an English Rose. Princess Diana, Queen Elizabeth I as a young monarch. The peony smells like a rose but this is not terribly aromatic so as a rose lover I wish there was more sillage/more of that aroma.
The dry down is musky and woodsy but soft as the florals. This is not a good woodsy scent. The flowers are the key players. If you like floral scents and especially attracted to rose perfumes, this should be your bag. It’s romantic, sweet, and very pretty. It reminds me of scents that are as lady like and rose-centered as Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet and at times the peony-powder of Violet Eyes by Elizabeth Taylor.
Sure this is mature but it can be worn by young girls who are novices to floral scents because it makes a sweet and easy intro to florals. This perfume makes me feel so happy, so British and so conservative, for you know, when you want to impress on a job interview or a date. This scent can be worn at the office and just about anywhere because it’s not a heavy hitter.
Pretty! And that bottle! Just love the bottle and it makes an attractive addition to my dresser table collection. Alright, I’m done. Thank you Vivienne.

Nothing out of the ordinary, but nice. I hate to use the term generic, but there is nothing ground breaking here, it’s def a simple sweet flowery scent. At least it doesn’t smell cheap. It does have a very slight plasticy note that I’m on the fence with. Thumbs sideways on this one but the longevity is good. And the bottle is nice.

I only got this by chance..I was looking for a sample of Naughty Alice and could only find the 2 “sisters” together..The weird thing is that I actually like Cheeky Alice more! It’s soft, gentle and very feminine. Powdery and floral but not in a musty-fusty way..I also think it’d be good in any season..but I wish it had a little more staying power.
Alex-krushilo – :
if you like your florals. i do.
not really getting woody or much musk under the peony and lily…but on my skin the notes all work well together.
(there’s no overpowering powder or violets in this – it does not smell like NA)…
This is soft and flowery and simple…really lovely.
it lasts a few hours on me. and yes, it is gentle and quiet. i wouldn’t call it cheeky…unless you mean rosey cheeks and a smile.
perfect for daytime.
it smells like sunshine. and IMO the best of the Alice’s.

Cheeky Alice is a little similar to Naughty Alice, but not nearly as bold nor as lasting. This fragrance is more on the floral side of things and is more musky than it is powdery.
Opening with a dewy-fresh blend of lily of the valley and pink roses, Cheeky Alice smelt promising, like something I wouldn’t mind adding to my collection. I was quite taken with its sweetness and thankful that the peony wasn’t overly dominant on my skin, (as peony and I don’t usually get along).
On my skin Cheeky Alice was a soft, sweet and slightly musky floral scent, great for Spring and Summer, or even as a bedtime scent. I was thoroughly enjoying wearing Cheeky Alice but was admittedly disappointed when I discovered that it had poor lasting power.
Three hours wear was all I managed before I had an overwhelming desire to re-apply. Not only did this fragrance struggle to last, but the scent pyramid was unfortunately quite one-dimensional, meaning that it didn’t transcend past that fresh and musky blend of lily of the valley and rose.
Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m fairly certain that Cheeky Alice is a limited edition. In Australia it appears to be sold in many discount chemists and perfumeries, like it’s on its way out. I might still buy this fragrance if I see it for a bargain, but for now I’m not too keen on buying such a short lasting fragrance. I would tire quickly of having to re-apply it every few hours.

Cheeky Alice is the little fresher sister of Naughty Alice. Whereas I wear Naughty Alice all year because of its coziness Cheeky Alice is more suitable for spring and summertime. It’s of a sparkling floral lightness that lifts my mood. This scent has a bright and creamy profile with a very soft rose inside. The florals give a delicate powdery sweetness which is well balanced with the musk and the woods in the base. Overall a lovely scent that lies close to the skin.
FriendTrevor – :
I love the scent, first the Lily of the Valley scent is more present but then the rose gets stronger. It’s only a pity that it doesn’t last very long on my skin. After 2 hours there is just a slight scent of wooden rose left. I think it’s a very feminine EDT.
Марк Окольников – :
Sweet, simple floral that’s very sophisticated. I got a fruiyt note from this that isn’t listed also. Not the most unique scent, but very wearable.
Puchara1991 – :
This scent is fruitier and sweeter than the notes listed. Strange.
INGEMEQUE – :
It is a pleasant floral but I was hoping for it to be a bit woodier. It would really benefit from a dash of some spice to mix it up and make it a bit more worthy of the ‘Cheeky ‘ in its namesake.

Allow me to introduce Estee Lauder Pleasure’s younger cousin, Lily:
Lily is outdoorsy and likes to go hiking and pet bunny rabbits while her slightly older cousin, Pleasure, is starting to get in to lipstick and boys. This Lily does not fully relate to and is of the opinion that Pleasures is being bit of a teenage dramaqueen. Ever so innocent and sincere, Lily feels a lot of life’s guilty pleasures can stand to wait a little while, while she takes a moment to lay barefeet in the grass among the blooming lilys and peonies and watch as the clouds drift by.
If smell were a soundtrack then the soundtrack to Lily’s life would be Cheeky Alice. Only Alice wouldn’t be cheeky at all, she would be pure and perfectly innocent.

For me this perfume stuck out from the others in VW’s ‘Alice’ collection. After being lead in by advertising in magazines I had initially thought I wanted ‘Naughty Alice’ but in comparison ‘Cheeky Alice’ has a fresher floral scent which I love. This perfume works well on my skin and for a EDT seems to last well too, I can’t help but sniff it on my wrists when wearing it. My boyfriend likes this perfume on me too.
minializunink – :
Starts off as a creamy lily of the valley + florals scent. 1/2 hr later the scent becomes vanilla-like and the florals fade as does the fragrance. I like it better that naughty alice.
rihs2000 – :
A pretty soft floral, very nicely done, but I wish it would project more, the lily of the valley is well done, overall a nice charming scent.Light, but not boring, I find it more floral than the Guilty line.
victorm – :
A magnificent scent! The first impression was a soft gentle floral. I could smell the Lily of The Valley, so
enchanting!
Then came the elegant rose and peony with the woody note slowly coming in with soft musk coming up slowly.
The middle and base notes beautifully warm up.
A mature version of Naughty Alice 😉

My 8yr old son said ‘it smells of your smell mummy, but even nicer’. How can I not buy it after that! It’s a gentle, soft, intimate, smell- clean, but not in a fresh bright way. It has lasted all day too.
k1xDC – :
Tested this today and it reminded me of Gucci Guilty Intense or Gucci Guilty because it smells powdery and plain but there is something in there that gives it a little depth. I think it is nice but for me it was too similar in style to Gucci Guilty or Jennifer Lopez My Glow which I have so I haven’t bothered with this. It didn’t spray on my skin so I don’t know if it lasts but it is nice and a nice follow on from Naughty Alice. This is perfect for people who want a powdery innocent smell that doesn’t smell like baby powder I found this had enough depth to it for the style of perfume that it is.
I know people talk about the notes in this but I could really only smell the base notes and I like it. Many will find it boring but some of these style of perfumes I quite like for when you only want something suttle that won’t upset everyone around you. I am not sure if you could wear this in hot weather I think it might turn a little smelly more for a cooler day.

Cheeky Alice is nice enough. On my skin the Lily-of-the-Valley note is predominant, then there’s a nice very animalistic yet clean and soft musk. It’s not listed on the notes, but, to me it seems that there’s a very subtle hint of rose in this one, as well.
As with its sister scent, Naughty Alice, Cheeky Alice doesn’t have that much sillage. It is an intimate scent that lies close to the skin.
I also agree that this scent doesn’t seem “Cheeky”. It seems to me to be a sweet and demure type scent with an ever so subtle edge.
I like this one, but, cannot say I love it. Nice for wearing when you want to smell feminine and fuss-free.
entebarabuche – :
This smells simular to naughty alice but a bit fresher. It still have a warm creamy drydown but it is not at all cloying and is quite comforting. I think I prefer this to the original definately worth a sniff.
allexssiik – :
i had high expectations for this perfume it in comparison i expected more depth and body for this and naughty alice gave me this the bottle isnt as nice as naughty alice , it gave me a headache i didnt try it on the skin but out of the two naughty alice is deffinately better there was no thought or depth to this perfume
Edward – :
Compared to Naughty Alice, this is a much softer scent with the lily blend. Its not to strong just suttle on the skin. My only dislike is that it only lasts for a couple of hours in which you have to apply again.
but a beautiful light perfume for summer 🙂
AndreySp – :
i love the notes, looks like it’s well blended… can’t wait to sniff 😉
