Frederic Malle Portrait of a Lady Limited Editions top notes are Rose. The nose behind this exquisite fragrance is Dominique Ropion. Wearing “Portrait of a Lady” is like being swept into an engrossing story, with layers upon layers of intrigue and nuances: from the dangerously spicy overture through the juicy, tart almost citric fruitiness, all the way down through the impossibly lavish rose heart wrapped in chocolate patchouli, and the unrivalled sensuousness of the drydown which blooms on the skin like a soft incense, milky sandalwood and exotic flowers. Frederic Malle Portrait of a Lady Limited Edition is an oriental floral perfume for women that is modern, elegant, new, and limited perfume and was launched in 2020. That and the best possible raw materials which combine the sturdy radiance of good aromachemicals with the lushness of some of the most expensive natural absolutes available. The idea of a juxtaposing the deep velvety sweetness of the rose against earthy patchouli and creamy woods is not novel, but “Portrait of a Lady” is head and shoulders above most of the other variations on the same theme, and its bewitching charm lies in impeccable dosage and balance. So alike this perfume that blends flawlessly icy and hot elements, darkness and light into an almost baroque structure of great beauty and fascinating details. Alongside “Une Fleur de Cassie”, “Portrait of a Lady” is another stupendous proof that Dominique Ropion is one of the greatest master perfumers of our time.ĭespite the brand’s insistence that “Portrait of a Lady” hasn’t been inspired by Henry James’ eponymous book, we can’t help noticing what a perfect fit this would be for Isabelle Archer’s character, a complex, passionate woman with a cool, elegant allure underneath which a torrent of emotions and longing runs wild. No wonder this is the jewel in the Éditions de Parfums crown: such an intricate, rich, sumptuous and sensual composition couldn’t go unnoticed by perfume lovers worldwide.
