"Truly Alice, books are wonderful things; to sit alone in a room and laugh and cry, because you are reading, and still be safe when you close the book; and having finished it, discover you are changed, yet unchanged! To be able to visit the City of Invention at will, depart at will – that is all, really, education is about, should be about."
Fay Weldon, Letters To Alice
Ok, well technically the quote has nothing to do with our enigmatic Alice from Wonderland, but it speaks to the spirit of "the real Alice". Fairy tales, after all, are usually the first books we read as children, and our imagination takes us on adventures, much like Alice's journeys to Wonderland.
"I knew who I was this morning, but I've changed a few times since then."
- Alice in Wonderland
Carroll's tales remind us to nurture our imagination, challenge conformity, and embrace curiosity.
Our Truly Alice perfume roller let us carry the spirit of Wonderland in our hearts (and on our sleeves, quite literally!) as we navigate the adventures of life, for, as Alice herself discovered, the extraordinary often lies just beyond the realm of the ordinary. For a touch of extra whimsy (because we all need a touch of whimsy in our days!), each roller contains a teeny tiny metal key! Open the door to a curious new day, each and every day!
This scent playfully captures the whimsy and boundless imagination of Wonderland's magic and Alice's insatiable curiousity. Indulgently sweet and tangy sugared lemon top notes backed by mellow tonka bean juxtaposed by dreamy soft florals of jasmine, gardenia and tuberose. Addictively sweet and spirited; flirty and feminine!
This listing for one 10ml roll-on bottle.
Ingredients: Fractionated coconut oil & fragrance; key charm
Truly Alice! Perfume Oil Roller
Perfume oil rollers do not contain any alcohol and thus won't have the staying power of a true parfum. However, here's a few tips to get the most out of each application:
- Apply your perfume oil to moisturized skin. Aroma molecules evaporate far more slowly on well hydrated skin. Dry skin will quickly dissipate fragrance as well as those lighter and brighter top notes and floral heart notes.
- Apply after bathing/showering when possible, when pores are open for maximum absorption.
- Try layering your scented products for a longer aromatic experience. Select scents that complement and/or have similar note profiles. A scented lotion or body oil will moisturize AND maximize scent retention.
- Apply to pulse points but do NOT rub in (rubbing will make the top notes burn off more quickly!). If you apply more than you wanted, simply tap your wrists together or dab on another pulse point. Warmth exuded from these points will project scent the longest. Best pulse points: wrists, neck/behind ears, collar bones, heart space, inner elbows (a great spot for long-lasting diffusion!), and behind knees.
- However, there are certain spots that experts DO NOT recommend applying any perfume to, inlcuding eyes, face, privates, scalp, and any irritated, damaged skin (including cuts, scrapes, etc).
- Remember that citrus and floral notes are the most fleeting so a floral-forward scent will dissipate much more quickly than a woodsy or gourmand blend. Thus you may have to reapply these lighter blends a few times throughout the day.
- Also remember that you will get used to your signature scent and won't notice it as much as those surrounding you. So don't be too quick to overapply!
- Keep in mind that if you've been to the gym and worked up a sweat, you'll need to reapply post-shower.
- Store your perfume roller in a cool, dark place for longest shelf life. Do not allow your roller bottle to be exposed to direct sun, excessive heat, high humidity (ahem, like the bathroom), or anywhere that it will be exposed to drastic temperature changes.
