Ballerina No 1

I'm funny. I blind-bought this because of my little girl who has really taken a liking to her ballet class. I love seeing her in her pink shoes, tights, and leotard. I wanted something to wear on the days she has ballet, and from the description, Ballerina No.1 seemed perfect--and it IS! It's very soft, sweet, youthful and innocent. Smells so innocuous that my daughter could probably wear it too. Soft as the fragrance is, I find that it projects quite well on me for hours. I definitely get a lovely fruitiness--I would say sweet peach with a tiny bit of sweet raspberry mixed in. There is a fresh rosiness about it. In the drydown, the fruit disappears, and it smells a lot like a Nivea cream or some type of soft, musky, creamy lotion. All in all, this could be Barbie's fragrance. I adore it! It's absolutely delightful and charming in every way. Edit: My daughter found it and loves the smell. Since she loves ballet, she was naturally very attracted to the bottle with its tutu. Out of hundreds of bottles in my home it’s the only one she ever sprayed when I wasn’t looking! Now she regularly goes in to spritz, and it smells divine on her. I tell her she smells like an angel! I hope they never discontinue this magical fragrance. I bought a 50 ml bottle but I will need two 100ml bottles now—a backup for myself, plus one to save for her very own when she’s a bit older. I’m already storing a 2011 bottle of Chanel No.5 Parfum for her as well as a butterfly bottle of Petite Cherie.

Such a tender, lovely little scent. This is a fruity floral with the emphasis on floral. A very classic and traditional perfume house's take on youthful and modern notes. The rose and peony are the center of the composition. They're fresh and a little soapy, which is usually a no-go for me in rose scents, but it works here because everything is so delicate. This is not a fruit bomb, but peach and raspberry are detectable and sweeten up the flowers. Soon the milk and vanilla come in and give the perfume a light and pleasant warmth. This milk is neither fresh out of the fridge, nor warm and burned like it is in many other fragrances, it's just the subtle scent of room-temperature milk. As the fragrance dries down further it also becomes quite musky on my skin, without ever losing the clean pink rose note. I didn't expect to love this as much as I do, I got it as an extra gift in a swap and it wasn't on my radar before. Parfums de Rosine is often a little too old-school for my liking, but these Ballerinas seem to combine vintage style and modern scent profiles in a pleasant way. The bottle is also adorable. To me this scent conveys an innocent and loving personality. It's not over the top Barbie pink or extremely sweet, it's just comforting and uplifting for the days when you need it.

It's such a lovely pretty perfume. Just exactly like the bottle. It's sweet and light but has quite a strength to it, with a lovely soft rose, beautiful pink peony, lovely fruit and violet too I can smell. Raspberry and pear, freesia, delicious peach, and bergamot, which gives it a refreshing tang. It's a gorgeous mixture of flowers and fruit, very juicy, fresh and uplifting. And after a while the vanilla and milk come creaming in to make it into a delicious milkshake. And the sandalwood and musk give it a more solid base, which keeps it from being too light, but it is still pretty and effervescent, and very charming. It's a beautiful smell! I feel young and carefree, and pretty when I wear it, which is quite often really. It has grown on me, and I like it more and more all the time. And it's the most gorgeous bottle. So elegant and charming. Everything's so very pretty about it. I'm rather in love with it actually. It's one of my favourite perfumes. It gives me a lift, even just looking at the bottle. The colour! Absolutely beautiful. It's gorgeous.

This was a blind buy based on the notes. First, let me say the bottle is very pretty and girly which is right up my alley. I really enjoy this delicate powdery fragrance and it has become one of my favorites. I will reach for it often, especially for daytime wear and before bed. I smell violet, peach, soft floral notes and a creamy drydown. It's gently sweet and not cloying at all. I can imagine a ballerina with a pink tutu wearing this perfume. The scent is definitely one interpretation of graceful ballet and the feminine aspect of the color pink.

My husband gave this to me for my birthday and I absolutely love it! To me it is exactly what I had hoped for and what the name and bottle presume it to be : soft, pink and innocent. It opens with lots of soft rose and peony, which leads to a more playfull and fruity trail, I can smell the peach...The drydown is a little powdery and still soft. Lasts about 6 hours. Rosine works with all natural ingredients what I love, it is so pure and never harsh. To me it is definitly worth the € 95,00 for 50 ml!
