Le Ballet Blanc

Repetto has decided to reinterpret one of the greatest classics of dance, Tchaikovsky's Le Lac des Cygnes, to create one of the most romantic and poetic fragrances of the year. It is called Le Ballet Blanc and clearly aims to carry us into an enchanting, enveloping and luminous journey.

The world of dance and Repetto

Since 1947, the house of Rose Repetto has established itself as an absolute reference in dance. It continues to nourish the dreams of little girls imagining themselves one day treading the finest floors on pointe shoes wrapped in the house's famous ballet flats. Repetto is a name synonymous with grace, one that first specialized in making ballet flats before entering, not long ago, the world of perfumery. As such, Repetto has always tried to preserve an intimate link between these two fields. Because of this, each of Repetto's creations seems to be guided by a leaping body, a vibrant aura, silky skin and a diaphanous garment. Le Ballet Blanc thus presents itself as a true olfactory ballet. It aims to make us rediscover the theme of Tchaikovsky's Le Lac des Cygnes. Its singular breath seems to transform on contact with skin, echoing the transformation of the enigmatic Princess Odette, who kept turning into a swan in the most famous four-act ballet in the world of dance.

The fruity poetry of Le Ballet Blanc

Le Ballet Blanc comes in a bottle that is all roundness and movement. It takes up the iconic shape of Repetto fragrances. It seems ideally cut in the wake of a dancer, forming a generous curve stitched in a transparent, delicate pink. This case is this time embraced by two frosted wings unfolding directly on the glass. Repetto's iconic satin ribbon, evoking the dancers' garments, has this time been fitted in white. The whole is highly poetic and reveals a fragrance as tender as the white down of a swan. Le Ballet Blanc opens on a note of blackberry accompanied by mandarin zest. This citrus paves the way for a heart that is more floral, with freshness. There, delicate peony blends with sambac jasmine worked in a honeyed, almost orange-tinged manner. Le Ballet Blanc is a fragrance built on subtlety, ending in the enveloping softness of white musk and ambergris. The whole reveals an airy sensuality, bringing the enveloping warmth of musk around a fruity gourmand character. Like the wings of a swan crowning a juicy blackberry. Le Ballet Blanc is the work of a trio of perfumers made up of Juliette Karagueuzoglou, Sophie Labbe and Nicolas Beaulieu.
