Pros & Cons
- ✅ FINALLY bought a sample of this after hearing Madonna talk about it… I've only done a sniff from the vial but omg this smells amazing. Even better than musc ravageur...
- ✅ If you want to have a rose-forward fragrance to end all rose-forward fragrances, get this one and look no further. She won't be your best friend during warmer seasons, but prominent rose accords/notes are not a spring/summer thing anyway, so stick to it on colder days and you won't regret it: otherwordly performance, intimidating elegance and powerful presence.
- ✅ One of the greatest rose fragrances ever created.

- ✅ I absolutely fell in love with a sample size of Portrait of a Lady.
- ❌ At first, it smelled like a strong rose. Then, strangely enough, it turned into a sharp, feet-like smell. Even so, the projection is impressive—it easily fills the room
- ❌ This is not a cute smell 3/10
- ❌ My nose has officially been assaulted 🤣 I see so many talk about Portrait of a Lady
- ❌ My nose has officially been assaulted
- ❌ It's too vintage for my liking.
