Ballerina

Ballerina by Moresque is a delicate, powdery, and sweet fragrance that evokes the image of a young ballerina's backstage dressing room — fresh, romantic, and layered with soft gourmand and floral notes. The opening features crisp tangerine and white peach with a hint of green sharpness, leading into a lush, softly sweet heart of cotton candy, angelica, and taif rose, all wrapped in a creamy, powdery base. The dry down is a light, velvety musk with vanilla, ambrette, and tonka, creating a faintly nostalgic, almost vintage feel. Many describe it as youthful, fresh, and charming — a modern take on a classic powdery, gourmand scent with strong links to vintage French perfumes. It is not a bold or long-lasting fragrance, with moderate longevity and a moderate sillage that feels intimate. Its sweet, almost candy-like profile makes it ideal for night-time wear or special occasions — such as a ballet, art exhibition, or a date — and it resonates particularly with those who enjoy soft, feminine, and elegant scents. However, a few find it overwhelming or cloying, with some noting it smells like baby powder or synthetic sweets, while others feel it lacks depth and complexity, especially for those seeking a more mature or serious fragrance. The distinct powdery, cotton-candy character may not appeal to lovers of earthy, woody, or musky scents.
