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 - Turath

Turath is a truly divisive beast. Some adore its opulent, fruity-smoky complexity, hailing it as a masterpiece of Middle Eastern perfumery. Others find it an overbearing, chaotic assault of synthetic notes and an exorbitant price tag. Sample before you commit to this polarizing powerhouse.

Season and Occasion Fit

Portrait of a Lady

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

The rich, spicy, and ambery character is ideal for cooler weather, with opulent rose and incense blooming in fall and winter. It can work in spring when applied lightly, but is often too intense for hot summer days.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

This commanding, sensual fragrance is best suited for formal events or romantic evenings, where its projection and complexity shine. Its boldness can overwhelm in professional or sporty settings.

Turath

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

With its bombastic projection and extreme longevity, Turath is not one for the faint-hearted or enclosed spaces. It shines in formal settings or on a decadent date night where its powerful sillage can truly be appreciated, but would overwhelm an office or gym.
