Dame Painting

Name: Dame Painting Eau de Parfum
Brand: Perfume Parlour
Availability: InStock

Perfume Parlour Dame Painting is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010. Dame Painting opens with Cinnamon, Clove, Raspberry, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Patchouli, Rose, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Benzoin. Perfume Parlour's Dame Painting carries an Acquired verdict, a rose-led wear.

Perfume Parlour's Dame Painting chases Frederic Malle Portrait of a Lady - the raspberry-rose over dark patchouli and incense is recognisable, but this dupe thins out the saturated, hypnotic intensity and beast-mode longevity that made the niche original a cult monster.

About

Dame Painting opens jammy and spiced, raspberry and black currant laced with cinnamon and clove over a deep Turkish rose. The heart is where it most echoes the original: a fierce, natural patchouli dominating a saturated rose, shadowed by smoky incense and sandalwood. The base warms into amber, benzoin and white musk. It chases Frederic Malle Portrait of a Lady, a dark, saturated rose-patchouli-incense that varies between oriental and chypre with hypnotic, fierce sensuality. This budget version captures the rose-patchouli-incense DNA but renders flatter and less dense: the fruity-rose top reads up front, while the saturated, room-filling intensity and the smoky depth of the original are dialled back. Where the real Portrait projects strongly and lingers into the next day, this version settles closer to the skin within a few hours. As a bold, sensual rose-patchouli for autumn and winter evenings, dates and formal occasions it delivers the dark-rose idea; just without the hypnotic saturation of the real thing.
