    For the love of God do try before you buy. Opulent, dark, Gothic rose, church incense...to name a few of two hundred notes. The concentration of essential oils is high, plus the carrier and other...

    Portrait of a Lady is perfume with a capital P, dense, evocative and full bodied. Light, fresh roses aren't for me but this is baroque, dark and smokey. There's a lot going on here. The opening...
