Portrait of a Lady Travel Perfume Refill, 0.3 oz./ 10 mL

How to Use: Frédéric Malle believes people should spray perfume where they wish to do so. Some people wear them on their neck or under their wrist, while others prefer to splash or spray fragrances on their chest. Layering across scents is not recommended as our perfumes are each an olfactive work of art, crafted to stand alone and apart.This item is a refill for the Travel Spray accessory, available to purchase separately.About the Perfume:A baroque, sumptuous and symphonic perfume that required hundreds of trials to balance such an expressive formula, Portrait of a Lady is undoubtedly the perfume containing the strongest ever dosage of rose essence and patchouli heart. Dominique Ropion composed an oriental rose, based on an accord of benzoin, cinnamon, sandalwood, and, above all patchouli, musk and frankincense. A perfume evocative of sensuous beauty, that attracts people like a magnet. A modern classic.About the Perfumer:Dominique Ropion trained at the legendary Roure Bertrand Dupont laboratory before going to work with JeanLouis Sieuzac, one of the perfumery world's great technicians. Today he is a star perfumer at IFF. What makes Ropion's work special is the mix of precision and freedom, and his quest to create new, harmonious accords by pairing ingredients, which are polar opposites. An adventurer who abandons himself to instinct, Dominique Ropion is also extremely rigorous in the final stages of the formulation of each of his fragrances.Top note: roseMiddle notes: blackcurrant, raspberry, cloveBase notes: patchouli, sandalwood, frankincense0.34 oz./ 10
