        • Description
          Elegance personified.

          Consider perfume a portrait of its wearer: the sound of her voice, her gaze, the way she plays cards. At once timeless and resonant with today, here is a scent that speaks of her innate sophistication. Charm that emanates from within, boldly depicted without; an expressive portrayal of modern grace.

          At the fore, an exuberant dose of Turkish rose — 400 flowers per 100ml bottle, no less. Beneath, a bed of patchouli heart imbued with sandalwood and frankincense. An accord of clove, blackcurrant and raspberry binds the perfume together for a final characterful brushstroke.

        The Author

        DOMINIQUE ROPION

         

        Dominique Ropion is a daring perfectionist, a true inventor.

         

        The risks he takes are invariably accompanied by a relentless pursuit of exact olfactory balance and flawless composition. His perfumes are like great architectural feats: in the same way that a bridge, whose seemingly miraculous suspension of weight is in fact a harnessing of counteracting forces, Dominique often balances excessive doses of powerful ingredients with meticulously-measured, subtler accords, until the composition holds up on its own.

         

        A good perfume, he likes to say, must always appear obvious. This is master perfumer Dominique Ropion at his best: bold, inventive, yet immaculately precise. Magnetic, timeless - the portrait of a lady.​

        The Perfumer & Publisher

         

         

        It has been thirty years since Dominique Ropion and Frédéric Malle, friends and collaborators, initiated a conversation about perfume. From this fruitful dialogue came several must-have opuses, infinitely modern classics, including Portrait Of A Lady, of course. The original sketch was ambitious: to reinvent the genus of amber perfume. They went beyond the limits of the reasonable, they dared to choose excess over restraint. Months of sketches to be faced with a masterpiece and finally compose this Portrait. The result is an unprecedented potion, almost too sublime to exist, inspiration in a bottle. They had created the perfume of all perfumes.
