Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Portrait of a Lady EDP
A regal rose cloaked in spicy incense and velvet patchouli, Portrait of a Lady is commanding, opulent, and deeply sensual. Not for the timid, but unforgettable for those who want to leave a legacy.

Our Verdict - No.552 Portrait of a Lady Parfum
Eden's take on Frederic Malle's cult dark rose, Portrait of a Lady. Trades the original's dense, smoky patchouli-incense depth for a lighter, flatter rose-spice blend at a fraction of the price - a fair introduction to the genre rather than a true match for the niche original.
