Indulge in the exquisite aroma of Frederic Malle's Portrait Of A Lady, a sensual ladies fragrance crafted in 2010. Inspired by the timeless novel by Henry James, this perfume captures the essence of its namesake in a complex blend of oriental and chypre themes.
The scent opens with an enticing blend of rose essence, blackcurrant, and raspberry, tinged with the warm notes of cinnamon and clove. At its heart, the commanding presence of patchouli takes the spotlight, imparting an intense, natural aroma that is both captivating and unforgettable.
As the fragrance evolves, it unveils a base of sandalwood, incense, and ambroxan, underpinned by a white musk cocktail. This intriguing mix gives Portrait Of A Lady a modern, elegant, and unusual expression, reminiscent of the Victorian novel's protagonist, Isabel Archer, and her quest for freedom.
The result is a scent that mirrors the dark, mystical, and intense aroma of dark roses. Presented in a 3.4 oz EDP spray, this ladies perfume is a testament to Frederic Malle's innovative approach to creating unique and compelling fragrances.
