Launched in 2014 by Guerlain, Le Bolshoi Black Swan is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that embodies the graceful tension of a ballerina's performance. The composition opens with bright citruses and tea, creating an initial freshness that contrasts sharply with its warm and powdery base notes of sandalwood, jasmine, and white musk. This duality evokes the complexity of the ballet dancer — poised yet powerful, delicate but resolute.

Application Tips
Apply Le Bolshoi Black Swan lightly to pulse points for the best effect — its powdery base notes develop slowly but last well into the evening. It's ideal for cooler evenings when the warmth of sandalwood complements the crispness of the top notes.
