Fruity · Sweet · Gourmand
Ladanika Gusarskaya Ballada is a unisex scent that opens with prune, cherry tobacco, maple syrup and honey, leaning sweet and gourmand.
The opening is a dense warmth of fruit and sugar from prune, cherry tobacco, maple syrup and honey. In the heart, osmanthus, labdanum, rose and benzoin settle that sweetness onto a resinous base. Ambergris, deer musk, Virginia cedar, patchouli and vanilla then pull it toward a woody, animalic, creamy finish, with smoky and spicy shades in the background.
Voters find the longevity strong and the sillage good, though the number of votes is small. With such a rich, oriental character, it is easier to wear in cool weather and in the evening. Parfums de Marly Carlisle and Parfums de Marly Oajan have a close profile.
