Portrait of a Lady by Frederic Malle, from 2010, is a large, dark rose: spiced, smoky and made for cold nights. The top notes are raspberry, black currant and red berries, a jammy brightness cut by clove and cinnamon. Turkish rose rules the heart, deep and rich, with incense, patchouli, sandalwood and a trace of ylang-ylang. A warm balsamic glow comes from the base notes: ambergris, musk, cedar, vanilla, amber and benzoin. Women wear it mostly, though anyone devoted to a serious rose should try it. Winter evenings and nights out are the votes. In the vote, longevity leans eternal and sillage leans strong, so begin light. A 3ml decant is a wise first step before a bottle this bold.
