Portrait of a Lady Body Cream 200ml
Portrait of a Lady Body Cream from Frédéric Malle carries the scent of the Portrait of a Lady fragrance into a daily body care routine. It is designed for use after bathing or dressing, bringing the line's character to the skin in a richer, more everyday form.
The scent is warm, spicy and amber-led, with a rose at its centre. A fruity, slightly sharp opening gives way to a heart of rose and patchouli, softened by a note of incense. A dry woody and balsamic base rounds the character into something warm and refined.
The mood suits cooler months, and it sits comfortably in transitional spring and summer evenings too. It works equally well for professional settings and for a night out, offering an elegant, understated presence.
Presented as a 200ml body cream from the Portrait of a Lady line.
