The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2019 and crafted by Annick Menardo and Pierre Negrin, Portrayal Woman is a bold Oriental Floral fragrance that embodies the essence of defiance. At its core lies a smoky yet sweet mélange of tobacco and vanilla, fused with jasmine at the top and elemi at the base. This composition reimagines liberation through the lens of the 1920s, capturing the spirit of those who dared to defy societal norms. Portrayal Woman is for the poised and playfully refined woman who seeks to break free from convention, radiating a sultry trail of seductive sillage.
One or two sprays are sufficient to capture the essence of Portrayal Woman. The tobacco and vanilla base notes take about an hour to fully bloom, so it’s best applied shortly before heading out. It pairs well in cooler evenings but can also make a statement during warmer days.
