Les Parfums de Rosine Ballerina No 1 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014. Ballerina No 1 opens with Bergamot, Freesia, Pear, and Peach, settles into a heart of Rose, Violet, Peony, and Raspberry, and dries down to a base of Milk, Musk, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Les Parfums de Rosine's Ballerina No 1 carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

Divisive and peculiar, this 'ballerina in a bottle' is either a dreamy, innocent floral or a synthetic, rubbery mess. Approach with caution, as skin chemistry is everything with this one.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with a delicate, milky-floral profile, make it suitable for casual daytime wear. It's generally too light for formal events and might be too unusual for all office settings, but some find it comforting for quiet environments.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Ballerina No 1 opens with a fruity burst of peach and pear, brightened by freesia and a hint of bergamot. The heart unfolds into a delicate bouquet of rose, violet, and peony, with a playful touch of raspberry. The unique drydown introduces a soft, creamy milk note, embraced by warm sandalwood, vanilla, and a gentle musk, creating a tender, almost innocent character.
