Frédéric Malle Portrait of a Lady Hair & Body Oil

The product: An irresistible classic with a unique concentration of rose, amber, black currant and raspberry in a combination of selected oils (apricot kernel, evening primrose, jojoba). Just a few drops provide beautified, supple skin and shiny hair. Portrait of a Lady care oil for hair and body opens a new dimension of beauty and transforms into a bodily Scheherazade. The perfume: A baroque, sumptuous and almost symphonically conceived perfume that required hundreds of attempts to balance such an expressive formula, Portrait of a Lady is undoubtedly the perfume with the greatest rose essence and patchouli content in the heart notes ever achieved. Dominique Ropion composed here an oriental rose based on an accord of benzoin resin, cinnamon, sandalwood and especially patchouli, musk and incense. A fragrance that evokes sensual beauty and attracts people like a magnet. A modern classic. The Perfumer: Dominique Ropion learned his craft in the legendary Roure Bertrand Dupont laboratory before beginning his work with Jean-Louis Sieuzac, one of the world's greatest perfumery technicians. Today, he is a star perfumer at IFF. What distinguishes Ropion's work is the mix of precision and freedom, as well as the constant search for new, harmonious chords in which he combines ingredients that are completely opposed to each other. An adventurer who relies on his instincts. However, Dominique Ropion is also very strict in the final stage of formulation of each of his fragrances.
