PORTRAIT OF A LADY
Floral Chypre notes
Description
PORTRAIT OF A LADY hair and body oil by Dominique Ropion. An extravagant rose, full of voluptuousness and opulence.
A sumptuous oil offering intense nourishment and fragrance in a single stroke. Skin will feel silky and smooth, and hair will be strong and soft. A perfumer’s creation with a rare sensuality.
PORTRAIT OF A LADY exalts the opulence and voluptuousness of the Turkish rose, in extravagant proportions. With this creation, Frédéric Malle and perfumer Dominique Ropion mark a new era in the great timeline of perfumery. With this extravagant rose, amplified with woody tones, amber and frankincense, the designers are redefining the boundaries of the Chypre (Cypress) olfactory family, synonymous with the finest eras of 20th-century perfumery. Their play of light and shade, their elegance and extreme refinement. This expert craftsmanship brings forth a splendour created to defy the test of time.
Rose, patchouli, sandalwood, frankincense
Perfumer: Dominique Ropion
A paradox in every drop
the Perfumer
Dominique Ropion
Dominique Ropion is a daring perfectionist, a true inventor. The risks he takes are invariably accompanied by a relentless pursuit of exact olfactory balance and flawless composition. His perfumes are like great architectural feats: in the same way that a bridge, whose seemingly miraculous suspension of weight is in fact a harnessing of counteracting forces, Dominique often balances excessive doses of powerful ingredients with meticulously-measured, subtler accords, until the composition holds up on its own. A good perfume, he likes to say, must always appear obvious. This is master perfumer Dominique Ropion at his best: bold, inventive, yet immaculately precise.
