Portrait of a Lady Hair Mist Frederic Malle

Portrait of a Lady by Frederic Malle is an oriental floral fragrance composed by Dominique Ropion and launched in 2010. Built around a rose and patchouli structure, it combines dark fruit nuances and warm spice with woody and resinous undertones. The scent opens with a prominent rose note enriched by raspberry and blackcurrant and accented with clove and cinnamon. A heart of patchouli, incense and sandalwood adds depth and a slightly smoky, woody character, while a base of amber, benzoin and musk provides a smooth, lingering, balsamic finish. Marketed primarily for women, it is often worn as a bold, long-lasting rose-based composition.
