Romantic and contemplative white florals
Portrayal Woman is composed of voluptuous jasmine and tuberose combined with just a hint of vanilla, a little toasty woodiness, and an airy elemi resin. It is beautiful but quite simple. Compared to other Amouage women's perfumes featuring white florals, Portrayal Woman is maybe a touch more grown up than the exuberant gourmand-adjacent Love Tuberose, a little more romantic and contemplative than Ashore with its bracing saltiness, and less interesting than Honour 43 or Figment Woman.

Jasmine dripping in amber
Portrayal woman is way better than I even thought it could be. I will say if you dislike Jasmine, this will not be for you. The opening is all about Jasmine. It’s as if one buried their nose into the flower and the sticky pollen got on their nose. It’s big, syrupy and round.
Right behind the narcotic Jasmine is what smells like cola or root beer to me. I think it’s the vanilla and craven tobacco. After a few hours the Jasmine fades into the background and what’s left is a delicious resinous tobacco with nuances of jasmine.
This is an outstanding fragrance that seems to be underrated.
It leans fem to me but it’s def unisex.

overwhelming as always with Amouage
balsamic, extremely peppery, and heavily resinous with an overpowering dose of heady jasmine and sweetly rich tobacco. Everything about this is so overwhelming, the jasmine so ridiculously indulgent and heavy and stuffy, the tobacco dense, the resins sharp and prickly. Just a lot going on in too high doses and the typical overly perfumey undertone Amouage tends to do often

The invisible third party
Since I had missed the last Sharings of "Love Tuberose", I jumped like wild on the Sharing of the "Portrayal". As soon as the 10ml reservation was out, I read the scents for the first time and got a preventative headache. God oh God - Jasmine. Pooh and tobacco WITH jasmine. Oh you Ka** - Elemiharz!
I regularly pollute my house with my Arabic incense pots and have small incense resin packages sent to me from Morocco, behind whose sonorous names one or two surprises lie dormant. And I'd already been hit by the full booming of Elemiharz: herbaceous, stinging, medical, greenish smelly, strange, so strange that I poured the resin and burning coal into the toilet within a minute with horror. Elemi oil was used by the ancient Egyptians for embalming and is still used today for smoking against pests, which seems absolutely obvious to me in view of the smell.

I watched as the sharing slowly filled up and first called up the perfume page every morning in the hope that someone would leave a description of the scent to calm my nerves.
Amourage then appeared with her statement like the shining archangel herself and dried my fear sweat: "Clean-Flower-Fresh-Wascheduft". That changed EVERYTHING. From "saddened to death" my mood swung to breathlessly enthusiastic anticipation.
In my beloved "Bracken" there are echoes that show that AMOUAGE can also be used in fabric softener and fresh. The jasmine and vanilla gave hope that the stone-cold, absurd freshness of "Bracken" could be translated into a more socially acceptable friendliness.

I've never transferred money with so much momentum before! And then I waited... and waited... and then he was DA!
A thousand thanks to dear IrinaBerlin for this great opportunity! A revelation! With Amouage I tend to talk about fragrances a little bit beautifully - with "Portrayal" everything fitted from the first moment on.
For me it's not a fragrance that you have to smell into as a carrier, but it seems to be a fragrance that the others all around have to smell into. My "scent observers" only gave out cries of delight after a few days. Since I suffer from too much self-confidence, I smiled at them indulgently like small, stupid children and patted myself on the shoulder from all sides to admire my incomparable taste.

The jasmine of the top note is reminiscent of the radiant acacia blossom. Vanilla smoothes the scent and cannot be scented individually, just as tobacco only functions as a frame.
A light, muted sweetness seems to me like a hint of a finger that Amouage is simply hiding fragrances here: the top note contains components that can also be found in the complicated "Vepres Siciliennes": Magnolia? Oakmoss? Perhaps the elemi resin only plays different roles here, as it can be very multifaceted: woody, lemony-tough, dull-green, refreshing, with facets of fennel.

All this makes the fragrance stand out far from the little girl's corner and from the age of 20 it appears ageless. Feminine, after all, is the nicer word for madamig.
Another positive aspect is that if you 'accidentally' pour the fragrance over yourself with enthusiasm, it will not cause you to suffocate, the Sillage remains the same, strong and persevering, but without burning eyes or olfactory tinnitus.

"Portrayal" plays with expectations at a high level here: it's definitely NOT THAT what you expected and a lot of what you'd get from EVERY perfume!

The representation
I am completely honest so far I personally have not become so completely warm with the Amouage fragrances but now I have also flashed a fragrance of it absolutely portryal. In the first moment you drown in jasmine, I find it wonderful because I love jasmine. The jasmine note remains point, but it gets weaker and softer but almost tender I would say. A dear friend said this fragrance smells very noble, expensive and exquisite. But only after about two hours, then everything has settled and the vanilla and the fine aroma of an incredibly good oriental tobacco mixes into it. Reminds me of the movies from the 20's and 30's where the rich ladies with their noble clothes and a very feminine scent went into the opium caves to get intoxicated. This picture comes to my mind without any negative touch, rather noble, wicked and mysterious. This very exclusive fine fragrance is unusual, stands out absolutely on the fragrance market and lasts super long, actually all day long. The fragrance is for me the personified feminine, soft, powerful, demanding but also sooo tender. The bottle is a little treasure, irritating, perhaps by the colors a little psychedelic, one would like to look at all the time. The price is like all Amouage fragrances expensive but absolutely worth the durability and value of the fragrance and the bottle. This fragrance has celebrated its entry into my life and I catch myself grabbing it more and more often - will that be a deeper love?

Dense, rich, narcotic jasmine. The craven tobacco with elemi and vanilla smells like creamy amber cola. For femme fatals only

Gorgeous, sexy, creamy, smoky Jasmine, one of the most special white floral in my collection. Don't judge in based of the opening, wait.

I thought I’d love this, but it’s a no way for me. A sickening Jasmine with overpowering honey and tobacco. Gave me an instant migraine
