Ballerina No 4

Ballerina No 4 is a rich, creamy tuberose fragrance with a soft, sweet, and alluring character. It opens with a subtle spicy freshness from cardamom and pink pepper, tempering the sweetness of the tuberose and peach, while incense adds a warm, slightly carnal depth. The floral heart is dominated by tuberose, jasmine, and a gentle white rose, creating a sumptuous, buttery, and slightly wax-like floral composition that feels both opulent and comforting. The dry-down reveals a smooth blend of sandalwood, ambroxan, and tolu balsam, lending a warm, musky sweetness that lingers pleasantly. The fragrance feels feminine, romantic, and deeply evocative—like walking through a sunlit garden of jasmine and tuberose with a hint of soft skin and silk. It’s especially well-suited for cooler seasons and intimate moments, with moderate sillage and a moderate longevity that varies, sometimes fading quickly on some wearers. Despite strong comparisons to mainstream perfumes like Armani Rouge Malachite or Kilian Moonlight in Heaven, its performance is consistently praised for being distinct, polished, and seductive. The fragrance performs best on colder days and in the evening, aligning with its warm, rich character. It has a delicate sweetness and a cruelty-free floral-gourmand balance, giving it a tranquil yet intoxicating presence. The cardamom and incense notes are present but understated, and the woody base keeps the composition from feeling cloying. While some find the tuberose overly buttery or heavy, others appreciate its depth and glamorously feminine aura. Overall, it’s a sophisticated, well-crafted perfume that leans into classic white floral elegance with a modern, refined sensibility.
