Portrait Of A Lady Perfume by Frederic Malle, Whether you secretly channel Henry James’ heroine, Isabel Archer, or you simply enjoy your own simple pleasures, Portrait of a Lady exudes sophistication without consequence. The top notes imbue Isabel’s own dark rose scent as well as carry an exotic blend of cinnamon, clove, raspberry, and black currant. Patchouli and sandalwood offer an earthy layer at the scent’s heart. Amber, benzoin, and musk balance the equation with a mystical, carnal appetite.
