"A new female scent inspired by women who make bold moves, ALIVE is defined by its addictive femininity, magnetism and strength; characteristics the BOSS Woman draws on each day as she creates her own definition of success."A phenomenal fruity explosion: "A sparkling burst of fruits at the top of this scent offers a radiant and addictive start that promotes a passionate state of mind in its wearer. With crunchy and energetic notes of Apple mingling together with playful and sharp Blackcurrant, sun-kissed Plum and warm Cinnamon, the sweet and fruity character of the scent is expressed at all moments – acting as a reminder that life can be a source of endless happiness if lived vibrantly. The addition of natural Madagascan Vanilla, deliciously sweet in many facets, rapidly develops and becomes a marker of the perfume, a symbol of the joie de vivre that the ALIVE woman possesses."An empowered floral magnetism: "The floral quality of ALIVE is drawn from the luminous, alluring Indian Jasmine Sambac, which is the center of this scent. A symbol of radiant femininity, it unfolds with simplicity and allure. Enveloping the senses with its free-spirited magnetism, it brings on the wearer’s irresistible confidence. The pure and white quality of the heart note contrasts with the subtle, dry aroma of Thyme; a reflection of her ability to balance awareness and abandon with ease."A confident woody femininity: "The backbone of ALIVE is created by the vibrant and strong woods at the base, composed with Chinese Cedarwood essences to create a strong character, both structural and soft at the same time. Combined with smooth, creamy Sandalwood, Olive wood and Alaskan Goldenwood, the scent’s intense yet reassuring warmth and strength inspires the wearer to march to the rhythm of her own drum.
