Portrait of a Lady
Description
The story behind this fragrance
Cinnamon and raspberry ignite first, sharp and fruited, edged with clove's bite. Portrait of a Lady deepens into a dense floral heart where Turkish rose blooms thick and honeyed, supported by sandalwood's creamy grain and incense smoke threading through. The base settles into warm amber and benzoin, their resinous sweetness anchored by cedar's dry spine and a whisper of vanilla. Musk and ambergris soften the edges, while incense curls upward again—the whole composition drying to spiced, woody skin warmth.
