The review
The Of Lady 12 scores 7.0 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Portrait of a Lady.
Lorinna Paris 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 $46 per 100ml it costs 92% less than Portrait of a Lady — the 6th cheapest of 13 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 Lorinna Paris 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
Frédéric Malle Portrait of a Lady is raspberry, blackcurrant and clove at first, Turkish Rose and patchouli at its heart and incense, sandalwood and musk at the end. Lorinna Paris set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

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.
