PrettyBallerinas — a 2016 fragrance that needs no introduction. Perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour left a distinct mark on this composition.
Spain is where this fragrance comes from — and it shows. PrettyBallerinas unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The scent of PrettyBallerinas is shaped as a living composition, where layers reveal themselves without rush and without gaps. The creative approach of PrettyBallerinas is clear in the way notes appear and fade. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through.
In the first seconds you meet radiant lemon-bergamot top notes: Bergamot, Carrot Seeds, Lychee and Orange. These 4 notes form a sensation of cool purity that is impossible to miss.
At the core of development you notice Iris, Peony, Plum Blossom, Rose and ylang-ylang holding a velvety rose-iris direction.
The olfactory framework is shaped by these accords: Citrus, Floral, Fruit and Musc with each one in a clear role. Secondary accord layers such as Wood, Powdery, Spicy and Alcoholic expand the olfactory volume in the background. The gender direction is feminine, which clarifies the composition character.
At the note-group layer the structure relies on Citrus, Spicy, Fruit and Drinks. The palette also extends to Floral, Whiteflower, Earthy / Mossy and Wood.
In summary PrettyBallerinas reads as a cohesive composition — the first stage creates momentum, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. This is the type of composition best understood in wear.
