Frederic Malle Portrait of a Lady Decant
About this fragrance
400 Turkish roses per bottle, packed into one of the most iconic niche releases ever made.
Frederic Malle Portrait of a Lady is what happens when Dominique Ropion is given an unlimited budget and told to build a baroque cathedral around Turkish rose. The result is the highest concentration of rose essence and patchouli ever balanced in a single fragrance — wrapped in cinnamon, clove, raspberry, blackcurrant, and a thick incense-resin foundation.
Turkish rose hits first, but it's not a soft tea-rose — it's deep, jammy, almost wine-soaked, lifted by raspberry and blackcurrant. Then cinnamon and clove turn up the heat in the middle. Then patchouli, sandalwood, frankincense, and benzoin form a smoky-resinous bed that the rose floats on for the next 12 hours. Wears like silk, projects like thunder.
A full 100ml bottle runs $410. This is one of the most cloned, copied, and chased rose fragrances on earth — and there's a reason. Try a 5ml first.

Size guide: which decant should I get?
New to this scent? Start with 2ml. It's enough to wear it several times and see how it develops on your skin.
Already love it? 5ml is the best value per wear and fits in a pocket or bag.
Daily signature? 10ml gives you a month or more of regular wear for a fraction of the full bottle.
