    What do reviewers say about Portrait of a Lady and Altamura?

    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
    Bertrand Duchaufour built four decades of incense cred, and Altamura is his most playful move yet, orange and Cointreau instead of smoke and solemnity.Altamura
