Brocard The Swan Princess (Царевна-Лебедь) is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Bertrand Duchaufour. The Swan Princess (Царевна-Лебедь) opens with Citron, Sea Water, Bergamot, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Hawthorn, Marshmallow, Jasmine, and Magnolia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Brocard's The Swan Princess (Царевна-Лебедь) carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a proper mixed bag, isn't it? Love it or hate it, many find it unusual for a freshie, shifting from an intriguing juniper opening to a "toilet cleaner" drydown for some, whilst others get abstract aquatic and even coffee. Definitely one to test before buying.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Best For:

Also Works:

Its generally weak projection and non-challenging nature make it suitable for office and casual wear, leaning towards sporty due to its fresh, aquatic character. However, its divisive reception and abstract qualities might make it less ideal for formal or date settings where broader appeal is often desired.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine a cool, aquatic breeze carrying the bright zest of citron and bergamot, underscored by a crisp juniper bite and a hint of spicy pink pepper. The heart unfurls with a blend of delicate white florals - jasmine, magnolia, and lotus - softly sweetened by a powdery marshmallow accord. The base grounds it with creamy sandalwood, a whisper of vanilla, and clean musk, creating a scent that aims for ethereal but sometimes veers into the abstract.
