Launched in 2016, Prima Ballerina by Guerlain is a Woody Aromatic fragrance crafted by Thierry Wasser. The composition opens with fresh and citrusy notes that give way to an aromatic heart of conifer and green accords, before settling into a woody base that reads as both earthy and refined. This scent draws on the legacy of Guerlain's innovative use of materials, blending natural elements with a modern twist.

Application Tips
Apply lightly to avoid overpowering the subtle nuances. The aromatic top notes are bright but fade quickly, so layer it over a light moisturizer for better longevity. It's best suited for daytime wear when its fresh and earthy qualities shine.
