Portrayal For Woman

Great white floral scent the ylang ylang very obvious but it's not a 1 to 1 dupe for portrait of a lady that one is more bright less on dark notes compared to the other but still great value recommend Rating 7/10

**UPDATE**: It is currently 52 degrees F outside, and I sprayed ONCE on one hand--the room it doth fill. This is a cold weather ONLY gal. Am I one of the people who compared this to POAL, no. I have never smelled that. But if you see this specific fragrance and want to see what others think: here we go. We're on hour 5 and there's no sign of stopping this powerhouse. On my skin, the agave is the leader here, the tuberose is mild, and I get very little (if any) orange/orange blossom. This is dark, it is rich, it is secure in who she is. That being said, if a man smelled like this, I think I'd kinda dig it? It's got an old school perfume vibe. Think: UES, head to toe vintage Chanel, think house with a library inside. When will I wear this? Um...probably once every 3 years. Maybe. She's a definite vibe, just one I hardly rock. ________________________________________________________________ I did it. I took the plunge. My entire house hated me. I can appreciate the beauty of this fragrance 100%, and it calms down SIGNIFICANLLY after about 25 min into something rich, and elegant--but those initial 25 minutes is a total headache inducing fever dream. The next time I want to wear this, I will spray my jacket outside and wear it that way. Tomorrow is suppose to be cold in the south--I'm going to try it one more time for science! ____________________________________________________________________ She wants to be heard! As soon as I open the box, I can smell this fragrance. You will never have to wonder about sillage on her. On the tester strip, this smells like something my grandmother or aunt wore back in the mid/late 1990's. It smells like what they saved for special occasions. It's thick, and as a person who enjoys a tuberose note, the tuberose in this is made...spicy?...by the agave which I'm not sure if I like or not. The mixture of the orange blossom/ylang ylang/tuberose/agave/musk--ma'am, you don't have to scream at me. Honestly, I'm a bit scared to wear her. She is not only a powerhouse, but she sets the tone. Not your outfit, not your personality, this fragrance is going to be all people will focus on. This smells old, in the way that it's been a signature scent of an Old New York family for generations. Once I gather up enough courage to actually wear this, I'll update my thoughts/experiences. Until then: the bottle is heavy, the atomizer is top 3 I've ever used, and the fragrance itself...she's there. Oh boy is she there.
