The review

Portrait of Desire scores 5.4 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Portrait of a Lady.

The Dua Brand 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.

Evidence7.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Dua Brand 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. The Dua Brand set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

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.
