Ballade Verte
Fragrance notes
Character
Someone walks into a bright morning garden party wearing a blazer over a linen shirt and already smells like they have been outside for an hour. Ballade Verte captures that first breath of air after rain, when the ground is damp and the stems are still wet. Iran galbanum and violet leaf push a sharp green signal that feels alive and unpolished. Turkish rose softens the edges without turning the blend floral in a traditional sense. Ginger adds a quick spark that keeps the opening from sitting flat. Ylang-ylang rounds the top with a gentle creaminess that stops the green from becoming too severe.
The heart leans into oud, sandalwood, Virginia cedar, and Gurjan balsam, but the woods here stay airy rather than heavy. Resins and Madagascar vanilla in the base bring a warm, balsamic touch that never becomes sweet enough to weigh the fragrance down. White musk leaves a clean, powdery trace that suits daytime wear in mild weather. The overall impression is aromatic and ozonic with an aquatic lift that keeps the scent moving. It is a good match for someone who likes rose and oud but wants them presented with restraint. The final impression is a fresh spicy accord.
