What do reviewers say about Portrait of a Lady and Porpora?
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
Two hours in, you're still catching it. The rose has deepened into something almost resinous, the Bulgarian absolute holding its shape while everything around it softens.Porpora
