Description
Portrait of a Lady by Frédéric Malle is a modern rose chypre and a celebrated creation by Dominique Ropion. Well known in the niche fragrance community, it pairs rich rose with earthy patchouli and smoky incense. Raspberry adds a tart sweetness, while cumin and pink pepper bring a spicy warmth. The rose and patchouli share the spotlight, giving the fragrance its distinctive dark, velvety character.
Named after Henry James’s novel, Portrait of a Lady has become a modern classic. More than fifteen years after its creation, it was inducted into The Fragrance Foundation Hall of Fame for its lasting influence on perfumery. Warm labdanum rounds out the rose, patchouli, and incense, adding to its richness. It’s bold and memorable, with plenty to appreciate each time you wear it.
