Frederic Malle Potrait of A Lady 100ml

A Sultry Masterpiece of Rose, Spice, and Elegance Portrait of a Lady by Frédéric Malle is a luxurious Oriental Floral fragrance that redefines the rose in modern perfumery. Created by the renowned Dominique Ropion and launched in 2010, this scent pays homage to Henry James’ 1881 novel, evoking the strength, sensuality, and mystery of its heroine through a bold and unforgettable composition. The fragrance opens with a vivid burst of rose intertwined with clove, raspberry, black currant, cinnamon, and red berries, creating an immediate aura of depth and sophistication. At its heart, the richness of Turkish rose is joined by earthy patchouli, smoky incense, creamy sandalwood, and the exotic touch of ylang-ylang. The base envelops the wearer in a warm and opulent blend of incense, sandalwood, musk, benzoin, amber, cedar, ambergris, and vanilla, leaving an enduring and powerful trail that lingers long after the first impression. Portrait of a Lady is celebrated for its complexity, remarkable longevity, and commanding sillage. It is a fragrance that makes a statement sultry, intense, and undeniably elegant. Loved by those who seek boldness and depth in their signature scent, it remains a modern classic in the world of niche perfumery.
