The review
Strong contender. That is where Portrait of a Lady lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Portrait of a Lady.
Match Perfumes 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 $41 per 100ml it costs 93% less than Portrait of a Lady — the 4th 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.
