## Top reviews
- ★5/5 — Spring, Summer — "FREDERIC MALLE 🥀 Portrait of A Lady 🥀 (named after the novel by Henry James from the 1881) Dominique Ropion 2010 Totally unisex I wore this one of the best dark rose scent yesterday evening. Straight away after spraying the scent filled all the living room and my husband who was in the kitchen came to say “ wooow, what is this scent, amazing, it’s everywhere here”.

- ★5/5 — Spring, Summer — Casual, Office — "A beautiful, rich, sweet yet fresh dewy rose.

- ★5/5 — Spring, Summer — Date, Special — "wherever you enter you leave your trail without a question even if you hug someone their clothes get your beautiful scent and ask you what you wear"

Lasts forever if you count the residue of ambrox-chemicals as perfume lasting."
- ★2/5 — "I understand that this is an iconic creation but this smell is atomic! Kinda like Guidance, you can’t get rid of it. I prefer lighter perfumes so this one was a scrubber for me…"
