Description
The story behind this fragrance
Clove and cinnamon ignite with a sharp, almost peppery heat, cut through by tart raspberry and black currant that arrive like stained silk. Rose blooms beneath the spice—powdery, classical—while sandalwood and patchouli emerge to soften the burn into something earthier. Incense smoke drifts through the heart, herbaceous and resinous. The base settles into warm amber and benzoin, their honeyed sweetness catching against dry musk that clings to skin without sweetness, grounding Portrait of a Lady Limited Edition 2018 in a dusky, almost leather-tinged finish that feels closer to antique fabric than florality.
