Portrait of a Lady by Frederic Malle is a floral oriental fragrance created by perfumer Dominique Ropion. The main notes include Turkish rose, patchouli, sandalwood, incense and benzoin. The perfume is known for its high concentration of essences and its long duration and projection. It is described as a baroque, sensual and mysterious fragrance.

Portrait Of A Lady takes off with a large dose of Turkish rose essence that Dominique Ropion has managed to integrate with the rest of the formula thanks to a red fruit and spice accord.

The large display bottles of top-brand perfumes, also called factices, are key pieces in the windows of luxury perfumeries, such as the historic Perfumeries Regia. Their main purpose is the advertising display and the enhancement of the brand's prestige on a large scale. These bottles are exact and monumental replicas of the retail packaging, typically varying between 30 and 60 cm in height to capture the attention of the passerby. Their design is identical to the original (copying the shape of the glass, the cap and even the typography). In the context of prestigious perfumeries, these replicas function as a symbol of status and luxury. As the focal point of the window display, they reinforce the brand image of international houses (such as Chanel, Dior or Guerlain) and become a form of three-dimensional advertising that ensures that the iconic shape of the bottle is immediately associated with the exclusivity of the product.
