Portrait of a Lady
A massive Turkish rose set on dark patchouli and incense. Sumptuous, almost theatrical — one of the most recognisable trails in contemporary perfumery.
Dark Purple
A very ripe plum held in place by patchouli, with rose and geranium set across it to stop it running. The woody ambergris base arrives late and stays dark.
