Portrait of a Lady Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle 2010 Eau de Parfum

So I got a tiny sampler of Portrait of a Lady as an experiment and within minutes I knew I was doomed. One spray and I was hooked. The opening is a stunning blend of dark rose, patchouli and smoky incense that is rich, mysterious and at the same time emotional. It's full and light, like velvet confidence; and when it dries down the fragrance becomes rounder - the amber and musk give it a warm, sensual, and very addictive aroma. Every time I smell something, I can smell like I'm walking through a rose garden at night. Sophisticated, romantic and literally unforgettable, one or two sprays are sufficient to last for the entire day. Yes, it is expensive, but it smells like pure art. I have a tester and after I finished my tester, I did not think twice, I had to have the full bottle. Portrait of a Lady is not merely a fragrance, it's an experience.
