I was just Googling "Ballets Roses" to see if there was any other perfume by that name, and turns out that the term was used to refer to some French sex scandals that occurred around 1959-1960 involving prominent personalities and underage girls. Hmmm ... I'm not sure that's the connotation I want. However, there's nothing odd related to Ballets Rouges.Doc Ellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08376377441504529063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453792360015486892.post-14665963176186804062011-10-16T14:16:22.461-07:002011-10-16T14:16:22.461-07:00Perhaps Ballets Rouge?

Rosamunde would be another good name. I was also thinking of Ballets Roses as a play on Ballets Russes. I think that might have general appeal even for those unfamiliar with specific works of music and ballet.Doc Ellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08376377441504529063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453792360015486892.post-18574512760205045682011-10-15T16:23:15.829-07:002011-10-15T16:23:15.829-07:00Hi again Ellen,

I guess my spelling was directed by my nose and not by any knowledge of geography.<br /><br />GailAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453792360015486892.post-34399580837435976322011-10-15T16:05:53.457-07:002011-10-15T16:05:53.457-07:00Hi Ellen,

The music was originally written for a play called "Rosamunde, Princess of Cypress". The themes from "Rosamunde" were recycled by Schubert himself into ballet music as well as piano, vocal and chamber music. Themes from "Rosamunde" also show up in the movies from time to time. I think I remember "Rosamunde" themes in the movie "All That Jazz", but I may be mistaken. <br /><br />Anyway, I suggest "Rosamunde" (the rose princess of Cypress) as a name for your new rose chypre fragrance.<br /><br />GailAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453792360015486892.post-74505232167859431272011-10-14T09:27:00.812-07:002011-10-14T09:27:00.812-07:00Rose Ballet might be a perfect name!

I understand that it probably isn't worth much since I haven't tried the fragrance, but I thought I'll just get it out!<br /><br />And thanks for creating wonderful fragrances!a.k.a.
