Our verdict on Portrayal Woman: Acquired

This is a masterpiece that smells like royalty and makes you feel like a total badass, but the potent, heady jasmine and tobacco combo means it's not for everyone. Prepare for compliments... or a headache.

Its potent projection and strong character make it less suitable for the office, where it could be overwhelming. It truly shines for date nights and formal events, where its luxurious and attention-grabbing scent can make a statement. Some find it easy to wear for casual outings, particularly in cooler weather, but it's not an everyday, subtle scent.

About

Portrayal Woman unfurls with a rich, indolic jasmine that verges on tuberose, softened by a creamy vanilla. The tobacco note is present, but more of a smooth, sweet blonde tobacco than a smoky ashtray, lending an edgy depth. Elemi adds a subtle, resinous character, often perceived as a fresh, almost minty or incensy coolness. The drydown melts into a warm, sensual embrace, with the jasmine retaining its opulent presence.
