Portrait of a Lady Limited Edition 2018
About
**Portrait of a Lady Limited Edition 2018** opens with a dense rose shaded by dark berries, then settles into cool patchouli, incense, sandalwood and a warm amber glow.
**Portrait of a Lady Limited Edition 2018** opens with a dense rose touched from the start by the dark, almost wine-like fruitiness of raspberry and blackcurrant. In the first minutes, clove and cinnamon bring a dry warmth that makes the opening velvety rather than sweet. Very soon the heart moves into the composition’s signature patchouli terrain: earthy, cool, and lightly veiled with incense. On skin it feels expansive and unhurried, like a heavy fabric that keeps its shape throughout the day. Sandalwood and ylang-ylang soften the sharper edges, adding a creamy depth without powdery weight. In the base, amber and benzoin give off a warm glow, while musk gathers the trail into a clean, assured line. It suits evening best, but in a restrained dose it also wears beautifully by day, especially in cool weather.
