Ballerina

I received a very good size tester from Parfumado. I am absolutely in love with this scent. To me it is hard to describe, but it is the perfect balance of sweet and creamy, without being overpowering or too intense. On my skin, this is easily a signature scent, and can be worn all-year round. My partner is obsessed with this smell, and strangers have asked me what this is.

A pretty rose floral, very pretty girl esque

Narciso vibes, very rose, flowery, fruity. Very feminine. Another one that is pleasant, but not super memorable for me. Smells like a mix of many best seller perfumes on the market.

A year and a half has gone by since my first review, and I have danced with Ballerina on many occasions. She's too moody for spring, too rough for summer, and too pink for winter. Autumn should be Ballerina's season, but it really isn't. She seems like such a sociable gal, but I cannot think of anyone I know who would like Ballerina. Words that come to mind are paper, potpourri, winter cold. When I wear Ballerina, I always feel like scrubbing her off, because she gives me the same cold and dry sensation inside my nostrils that true Scandinavian winter cold does. Truly uncomfortable to wear, every single time.

To me, Ballerina is one single note; a very dry and powdery floral note. It smells like strongly perfumed clothes that have been kept in a small space for way too long, or a floral version of what wafts from your clothes if you spend an evening indoors with a bunch of cigarette smokers.
