Portrait of a Lady 15th Anniversary

About

A dark rose with a wine-red glow, raspberry tartness and warm spice, settling into patchouli, incense and a soft ambered trail.

**Portrait of a Lady 15th Anniversary** opens with a dense, wine-dark rose brightened by the tart shimmer of raspberry and blackcurrant. Clove and cinnamon arrive quickly, warming the first impression and giving it a velvety texture rather than overt sweetness. After half an hour, the fragrance moves deeper into a heart of patchouli and incense, becoming drier, more composed, with a fine smoky shadow. Sandalwood and ylang-ylang smooth the contrast and add a creamy texture, as if the fabric on skin grows both denser and softer at once. In the drydown, the rose no longer stands alone but is woven into an amber-benzoin base with a delicate leathery edge. It wears with calm assurance: not loud, but steady and saturated, holding for hours. It shows its best side in cool air and on fabric, where its dark rose keeps an especially full shape.
