Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Portrait of a Lady Eau de Parfum

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 - Feminité du Bois Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper cult classic, divisive yet adored. Many find it an elegant, spicy plum wonderland. However, be warned: others get potpourri or even pencil shavings, and whispers of poor longevity are frequent. Try before you buy, but if it works for you, it's magical.
