Description:
Portrait of a Lady is one of the most outstanding rose compositions in perfumery. An enormous bouquet of Turkish roses opens the composition, complemented by fruity accents of blackcurrant and raspberry and a spicy sparkle of cinnamon and clove. Transitioning to the heart, the fragrance takes on a smoky-earthy tone of patchouli, framed by creamy sandalwood and rich frankincense. The trail unfolds with amber ambroxan, benzoin and captivating musk, creating a sense of grandeur and impeccable style. Over the years it remains relevant thanks to its compositional complexity and charm.

"The most beautiful rose in perfumery. Each petal unfolds with something ethereal and mysterious."
