THE RUSH:
Portrait of a Lady – Frederic Malle
A modern icon of perfumery, Portrait of a Lady by Frederic Malle is a bold and sophisticated reinterpretation of the classic rose fragrance. Created by master perfumer Dominique Ropion for the prestigious Editions de Parfums collection, this scent is inspired by Henry James’ novel The Portrait of a Lady — embodying elegance, depth, and timeless character.
At its heart lies an opulent Turkish rose, amplified to dramatic proportions and enriched with warm spices. Earthy patchouli and dark woody notes create a chypre-like structure, while subtle oriental nuances add richness and sensuality. The result is a powerful, long-lasting fragrance that balances refinement with intensity.
Luxurious, commanding, and unforgettable, Portrait of a Lady is a signature scent for those who appreciate artistry, depth, and modern sophistication.
