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 blend of selected oils (apricot kernel, evening primrose, jojoba). Just a few drops enhance and soften the skin while adding shine to the hair. Portrait of a Lady care oil for hair and body opens a new dimension of beauty and transforms you into a living Scheherazade.

The perfume: A baroque, magnificent, and almost symphonically designed fragrance that required hundreds of attempts to balance such an expressive formula: Portrait of a Lady is undoubtedly the perfume with the highest concentration of rose essence and patchouli ever achieved in the heart note. Dominique Ropion composed an oriental rose based on a chord of benzoin resin, cinnamon, sandalwood, and especially patchouli, musk, and incense. A scent that evokes sensual beauty and attracts people like a magnet. A modern classic.

The perfumer: Dominique Ropion learned his craft at the legendary Roure Bertrand Dupont laboratory before starting 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 blend of precision and freedom, along with a constant search for new, harmonious chords in which he combines ingredients that are completely opposite to each other. An adventurer who relies on his instinct. However, Dominique Ropion is also very strict in the final phase of formulating each of his fragrances.
