Frederic Malle - 'Portrait Of A Lady' Shower Cream - 200 ml


Is it the woman her skin or her perfume? With this alluring shower cream Portrait of a Lady reaches new heights. Dominique Ropion’s novel interpretation of an amber fragrance driven by an overdose of Turkish rose that is woven with the evocative perfume of incense and patchouli is in full bloom turning shower and bath time into a splendid ritual where water cream scent and skin unite in a living breathing Scheherazade – bold yet controlled sensual yet strong causing every head to turn.
A baroque sumptuous and symphonic perfume that required hundreds of trials to balance such an expressive formula Portrait of a Lady is undoubtedly the perfume containing the strongest ever dosage of rose essence and patchouli heart. Dominique Ropion composed a rose amber based on an accord of benzoin cinnamon sandalwood and above all patchouli musk and frankincense. A perfume evocative of sensuous beauty that attracts people like a magnet. A modern classic.
Dominique Ropion trained at the legendary Roure Bertrand Dupont laboratory before going to work with Jean-Louis Sieuzac one of the perfumery world's great technicians. Today he is a star perfumer at IFF. What makes Ropion's work special is the mix of precision and freedom and his quest to create new harmonious accords by pairing ingredients which are polar opposites. An adventurer who abandons himself to instinct Dominique Ropion is also extremely rigorous in the final stages of the formulation of each of his fragrances.
