The review
On paper, Intrigue is a strong bet if you want Portrait of a Lady for less.
AromaPassions sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Portrait of a Lady's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $69 per 100ml it costs 88% less than Portrait of a Lady — the 8th cheapest of 11 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength AromaPassions publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on raspberry, blackcurrant and clove, turns to Turkish Rose and patchouli, and settles into incense, sandalwood and musk. That is the brief Intrigue is working from.
Top
- raspberry
- blackcurrant
- clove
Heart
- Turkish Rose
- patchouli
Base
- incense
- sandalwood
- musk
For the one who commands the room. Turkish rose and raspberry burn against patchouli and incense — monumental, regal, unforgettable.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
