Launched in 2011 by Olfactive Studio, Autoportrait is a composition that balances earthy and aromatic elements with smoky warmth. Created by Nathalie Lorson, this fragrance opens with the bright zest of bergamot and elemi before settling into a rich base of benzoin, incense, musk, and oak moss. The interplay between these notes creates a complex profile that reads as both familiar and mysterious — an olfactory self-portrait that is deeply personal yet universally resonant.

Application Tips
Autoportrait has moderate longevity and sillage, so aim for two sprays to ensure the full composition develops. The smoky base notes take time to unfold, making it ideal for an evening when you want a scent that evolves with your mood.
