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 - Portrait of a Lady - No.1 EDP
Match Perfumes No.1 dupes Frederic Malle's Portrait of a Lady, an opulent rose-fruit chypre. The Turkish rose opening is a strong match, but the blackcurrant-clove heart is less saturated and the patchouli-frankincense base wears lighter and shorter than the original's dense, radiant sillage.
