What do reviewers say about Portrait of a Lady and Le Mat?
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
What makes Le Mat worth your attention is the geranium. It doesn't soften the way you'd expect in a rose-patchouli base. It pushes back. The result is a fragrance that smells confident without being.Le Mat
