Les Parfums de Rosine Ballerina No 5 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Delphine Lebeau. Ballerina No 5 opens with Orange Blossom, Rose, Fig, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Almond Blossom, Violet, Heliotrope, and Litchi, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Patchouli, Guaiac Wood, and Tonka Bean. Les Parfums de Rosine's Ballerina No 5 carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one is divisive: some get a 'devastatingly beautiful' jammy rose, others get an unoriginal, poorly blended mess with a 'posh toilets' undertone. Not for blind buying, definitely test first.

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

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Summer Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate sillage and long-lasting nature make it suitable for casual wear and dates, as it's present without being overpowering. The soft, powdery florals might be a bit too relaxed for formal events, and certainly not for sport.

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

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 5 opens with a vibrant, fruity flourish of tangerine and fig, brightened by orange blossom, before a soft, powdery heart of violet and heliotrope emerges, laced with the unique sweetness of almond blossom and litchi. The dry down settles into a warm, woody embrace of cedar and guaiac wood, softened by creamy tonka bean and a hint of patchouli.
