Real talk
This is classic Dior at its most grounded. No gimmicks, just a well-constructed rose that behaves like a proper luxury fragrance should. The drydown is where it earns its price tag.La Colle Noire
Portrait of a Lady is rose pushed past comfortable. The Turkish rose doesn't whisper, it insists. Frankincense and patchouli anchor it in something smoky, almost ecclesiastical. Some find it too much.Portrait of a Lady
