Le Bal

Johann Strauss II's The Blue Danube is the most celebrated waltz in the classical repertoire. Five waltzes unfold in an uninterrupted flow of grace and elegance, carried by a luminous, swirling orchestra. A work of absolute fluidity, light, transparent, and in constant motion like the river that inspired it.

It is this crystalline, aquatic grace that the perfumer sought to capture. A luminous, transparent wave where shimmering fruits glide into a floral heart carried by the fluidity of an aquatic accord: romantic, airy, and as graceful as a waltz.

Bergamot rises in the opening, light and ethereal, bringing the waltz's first expression of elegance. Pear follows, juicy and translucent, making the light shimmer across the surface of the water. The aquatic accord settles in crystalline and fluid evoking the sensation of water gliding across the skin, like brushing your fingertips across the river's surface.

Peony blossoms at the heart of the composition, fresh and radiant, carried gently by the current. Musk concludes with a delicate, romantic trail the final turn across the dance floor of a waltz that lingers in the memory long after the music has fallen silent.
