Ballerina N°2

Inspiration
Where N°1 is the pupil, N°2 takes the stage as prima ballerina. Marie-Hélène Rogeon pictured a woman who knows what she wants and shows it with grace. Benoist Lapouza composed the scent in 2014, and the bottle wears a grey tutu of tulle.

The Signature of Ballerina N°2
Bergamot, raspberry and orange blossom open fresh and slightly sweet. Then rose and magnolia come together, with violet, eglantine and iris adding a velvety edge. In the base sandalwood, patchouli, ambrette seed, vanilla and amber create a firm, woody signature.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
For us N°2 is the most grown-up Ballerina. The magnolia gives the rose a creamy, almost lemony brightness, and the iris makes the whole thing chic. After a few hours the patchouli pulls the scent down and it turns warm and woody. It suits the office perfectly, but also a black dress on a night out. Customers who find N°1 too sweet often fall for this grey sister.
