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.

About

Ballerina pirouettes onto the skin with an initial flourish of ginger, peach, and tangerine, a bright yet subtly spiced opening. This quickly softens into a heart where a sophisticated Taif rose meets the surprising sweetness of cotton candy and the green, slightly earthy touch of angelica. The dry down is a luxurious, creamy embrace of iris and vanilla, grounded by warm amber and a clean, skin-like musk, leaving a delicate, powdery, and enduring trail.
