Frederic Malle Portrait Of A Lady Eau de Parfum, 50ml at John Lewis & Partners

A baroque, sumptuous and symphonic perfume that required hundreds of trials to balance such an expressive formula, Portrait of a Lady is undoubtedly the perfume containing the strongest dosage of rose essence and patchouli heart.

Dominique Ropion composed a rose amber, based on an accord of benzoin, cinnamon, sandalwood, and, above all patchouli, musk and frankincense. A perfume evocative of sensuous beauty, that attracts people like a magnet. A modern classic.
