The Beautiful Mind SeriesVolume 2: Grace and PrecisionDance is poetry made visible, fragrance is a dance of invisible moleculesThe internationally renowned ballet dancer, Polina Semionova, was the creative partner for the new fragrance, Precision and Grace. I was fascinated by what is in the mind of a great ballerina as she dances, says Schoen, on the precision she must have to express grace. For her part, Semionova explains Without intelligent work, there are no results, even if you have great talent. Precision only comes with hours of work. So, when I go on stage, I don't think anymore. The fragrance is in balance between high fruity and powdery notes because they remind me of summer in the countryside in the Russia of my childhood, says Semionova. The pear and plum scent makes me smile. The top note of Williams pear bursts out of the fragrance with its sparkling, juicy greenness. The heart of the fragrance is jasmine (at its fruitiest) with plum. And as a harmonic counterpoint is osmanthus, a white flower with a hint of apricot. For me, Precision and Grace evokes the lightness of the gauzy layers of a classical ballerina's costume, says Schoen, as well as the warmth of her body when dancing. The fragrance becomes warm and velvety, with a base of woods and musks. I used real sandalwood because it is more complex and organic than synthetic versions, with a greater capacity to express the warmth of the body in movement. Pink pepper, Schoen's hallmark, also appears. In Semionova's words, It's like the breeze, light and feminine, but there is also the unusual note of pepper, which adds something deep to the fragrance, a strong core. It's like ballet: without the hidden strength, you can't achieve gracefulness. The packaging is an image of the meditative state of a dancer's brain as she performs. The dots and triangles are a series of locations, representing the precise steps she must take, explains Paul White's different way of representing the gesturality of ballet. The dance is precise but also ethereal. It represents the dancer's freedom, her joy.
