Frederic Malle Portrait of a Lady

I met Dominique in 1988 in Roure Bertrand. Even then, he already gave the impression of a free-thinking man. His incredible skill, honed to perfection over the years, allowed him to realize any perfumery whim. We trust each other so much that sometimes we dare to start working on a fragrance without a precise plan or goal, hoping only that our research will lead to curious results. One such perfumery adventure led to the creation of Portrait of a Lady.
Both of us can be called big fans of Geranium pour Monsieur fragrance. The chord underlying its fresh composition is very valuable for us, and therefore, going to create a modern amber perfume, we decided to use it. Thus, the future fragrance is based on benzoin, musk, sandalwood and patchouli. Portrait of a Lady is the result of an ambitious rethinking of the amber category of fragrances, based on a generous abundance of patchouli, which makes up a third of the fragrance, a chord of white musk, which makes the composition more feminine, and the exceptional essence of 400 Turkish rosebuds. Frédéric Malle.
The oil can be used for both skin and hair. It brings shine and smoothness back to the hair, while it makes the skin softer and more radiant.

Heart notes: black currant, raspberry, clove.
