EnVoyage Perfumes to Release New Perfume Go Ask Alice
Award-Winning Perfume available to the public for the first time
PRLog (Press Release) - Oct 23, 2011 - EnVoyage Perfumes will release its award-winning Go Ask Alice perfume to the public on November 1, 2011. Go Ask Alice eau de parfum, developed last summer for a professional indie perfume competition, received high praise from celebrities Carly Simon, Patti Austen, Broadway singer Simone (daughter of Nina Simone), and was the top pick of Gillian Ferrabee (Cirque du Soleil).
Go Ask Alice, the first-place winner of the prestigious Martha’s Vineyard Islander’s Choice Award, was also ranked highly by well-known perfume critics Marlen Elliot Harrison Lucy Raubertas, Nava Brahe, Carrie Meredith, Jen Sunderland Meade, and aromatherapy pioneer Jeanne Rose.
“Reminds me a lot of Crabtree & Evelyn’s Mysore Sandalwood fragrance…Seriously gorgeous work.”
Marlen Elliot Harrison, The Perfume Critic
“Absolutely stunning.”
Nava Brahe, Perfume Posse
“I wanted to compose a perfume that would define and contemporize the 1967 Summer of Love, a time when young Americans protested the Vietnam War, sold flowers, smoked pot, and trailed clouds of patchouli, reports perfumer Shelley Waddington. “My biggest challenges were in retaining the authenticity and the surrealistic quality of this iconic theme while achieving my goal to contemporize and raise it to the level of a classy, wearable, and versatile perfume."
Go Ask Alice is an oriental-gourmand with top notes of California orange peel, bitter orange Caribe, bergamot from Calabria, Sri Lankan black pepper, and orange flower laced with fresh raspberry and strawberry.
The heart notes contain patchouli leaf tincture, mimosa blossoms, and rose absolue.
Vintage patchouli Sumatra, sandalwood deux, cocoa, vanille, tonka, labdanum Spain, balsam Peru France, and beach-washed ambergris provide a deep creamy base.
About the Project
Described by Fragrantica Magazine as “one of 2011's most interesting perfume events,” the Peace, Love and Patchouli Contest was sponsored by Monica Miller, owner of the Perfume Pharmer Magazine. The rules were simple: perfumers had to use a minimum of 25 percent patchouli in the blend, in a base of 15 percent alcohol. The fragrance had to consist of all natural ingredients. The perfumes were sent to Monica, who decanted them into plain, randomly-numbered silver spray atomizers. The perfumes, identified only by number, were distributed to the celebrities and perfume critics to judge.
