Portrait of a Lady 20 Ans by Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle is a limited‑edition Eau de Parfum for women, released in 2020 as part of the 20 Ans collection. Classified within the floral and oriental families, the fragrance was developed jointly by brand founder and creative director Frédéric Malle and perfumer Dominique Ropion. The composition opens with a fruity‑spicy accord of black currant, raspberry, clove and rose. Incense, patchouli and sandalwood shape a resinous, woody heart, while amber, benzoin and musk form a warm, balsamic base, giving the scent a layered and long‑lasting character.
