Fragrance information:

2016: the world took its first breath of Prima Ballerina Guerlain. This is a feminine fragrance rooted in the fern and floral families. The author of this composition is Thierry Wasser, and that explains a lot. Prima Ballerina — a proud member of the Bolshoi collection. An eau de parfum — light-footed, but utterly unforgettable.

Expect high longevity: it stays close to the skin for hours. The birthplace of this fragrance — France, a place with a refined nose. Prima Ballerina Guerlain unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.

Key fragrance characteristics

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The scent of Prima Ballerina evolves as a layered story, where notes flow without rush and without gaps. The creative approach of Guerlain is recognizable from the opening to the final trail. Every decision feels deliberate, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de parfum sets the right density and pace of development.

From the group perspective the structure relies on Citrus, Whiteflower, Wood and Spicy. The palette also extends to Gourmet, Musk and Floral.

When the pyramid is blended into one block the fragrance opens as a single chord with a airy lemon mood: Bergamot, Citrus accord, Jasmine, Pine Needles, Tonka bean, Vanilla and musk.

The heart and base are perceived as a continuous motion from lift to depth, which preserves the scent identity through drydown.

The olfactory framework is shaped by these accords: Balsamic, Citrus, Gourmet and Floral without random overlap. Background accords such as Musc and Spicy enrich the profile without taking over. The profile is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read.

Overall Prima Ballerina holds a coherent structure — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the fragrances best judged in wear.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
High (5 to 12 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

It's just okay, quite ordinary. Vanilla with spices, but nothing interesting, no zest, no play of aromas. Honestly, it's a bit boring. And the longevity leaves much to be desired
3/5

At first glance, the fragrance seems quite light. It has something of vanilla, but it's so weightless, as if dissolving in the air. Citrus notes add freshness, and jasmine gives it a certain mystery. But overall, the feeling is strange. On one hand, it's pleasant, but on the other - too ordinary. I can't say it's worth the money, rather, it's just another scent that's quickly forgotten
