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 - Chambre Noire Eau de Parfum

Chambre Noire is a polarising, moody leather, a unique blend that many adore for its dark sweetness, though some find it a touch synthetic or too much like a stuffy old room. It's not for everyone, but for those who get it, it's addictive.

Casual
