Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Portrait of a Lady
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.
Statement
Our Verdict - Junoon Velvet for Women
This is a seriously rich, elegant rose-patchouli-leather bomb that smells far more expensive than it is. Prepare for velvety depths and a unique spicy-fruity twist. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent, though, with some finding it too niche or 'oudy'.
