Like the Declaration of a Noble Man
Autoportrait begins a note of chilled smoke; it is serious and weighty, and befits the name. Very manly, authoritative, powerful, like the smell of wood in the houses of old money. About fifteen minutes in, there’s a shy floral that plays peek-a-boo with it, but the overall feel is one of chilled, smoky vetiver. Over time, it becomes a pepper-laced vetiver, but even as it dwindles, it remains forceful, rugged, and masculine. Its projection falls off rapidly after hour three or so, and there is no real development. It lasts at least six hours, and I expect it would last even longer with a spray as opposed to a dab. This scent is like a declaration of a noble man, yet it does not wear you as Yatagan does. Recommended.

Brusque manhood
AUTOPORTRAIT is my favourite fragrance from Olfactive Studio.
Although it is almost too manly for women, I like to wear it, but it must be donned very carefully.

So, a self-portrait - I do not know, who shows himself when Nathalie Lorson is staring in the mirror at the beginning of a normal day, but she surely must have scary mornings!

AUTOPORTRAIT is strong, woody, spicy, smoky and sweet, I could compare it to a very rude FAHRENHEIT, without Fahrenheit's creamy milky-ness. Sillage: 100%, even if you wear it under your clothes, it will find the way to your nose. Longevity: 100%, lasts even 10 hours, even if you are begging him to not do so.

Chemical Soup
I was soooo looking forward to trying this! I saw elemi as a note, and I love elemi. This smelled like chemical wood mixed with chemical pepper. It was awful! And it was tenacious. I washed twice and could still smell the chemicals wafting up to my nose. Smelled like Iso E Super and ambroxan. Why do people like stuff like this? Headache-inducing and smells cheap. Big miss.

Comforting, warm, resin/balsam, very subtle
I don’t get any cedar, pepper, or citrus; instead, I get a beautiful, soft resin/balsam that is sweet without being too sweet. There’s something in here that reminds me of a traditional Chinese balm my late grandmother used. It’s not at all sharply medicinal, just calming and lovely.

I find it difficult to pick out what notes are in here, but I love this perfume and find it comforting and warm. It’s fairly close to the skin, not much (but not zero) projection. Longevity on the skin is a few hours. I think this is one for if you don’t necessarily want others to think “oh wow, that person is wearing perfume” but are wearing it primarily for yourself. Others will merely catch a whiff every once in a while of a delicious scent and wonder if it’s you

Olfactive Studio / Autoportrait
The fragrance is quite unique and created by a great nose, my favorite perfume maker, only....created already by the same nose and under a different brand (Montana-Graphite). There are subtle differences, while Graphite smells better and stronger and has more depth. Despite the fact that the fragrance is really unique - unfortunately, Ms. Lorson and Olifactive Studio have reheated the chop and in addition at a price 3 times more expensive than Montana's Graphite.
If someone likes this fragrance from a sample, a cast, he can safely order Montana - Graphite (also by Ms. Lorson)- there are a lot of ads on ebay but also in Poland. I recommend
