The review
Strong contender. That is where Dame Painting lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Portrait of a Lady.
Perfume Parlour 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.
Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
At $122 per 100ml it costs 79% less than Portrait of a Lady — the 10th 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 Perfume Parlour 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
What it is chasing: raspberry, blackcurrant and clove up top, Turkish Rose and patchouli in the middle, incense, sandalwood and musk underneath — the shape of Frédéric Malle Portrait of a Lady.
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.
