Porpora

Porpora is a deeply opulent, rose-centric fragrance with a powerful, incense-laden heart and a robust, resinous drydown. It opens with a vibrant burst of juicy raspberry, spicy cloves, and a lush, jammy rose, creating a fleshy, intimate flourish that settles into a complex interplay of warm balsamic notes, earthy patchouli, and smoky incense. The evolution is smooth and linear—richer in depth than Portrait of a Lady but often described as slightly less dynamic or concentrated in its mid-stage intensity. As it develops, it transitions into a muted, waxy chestnut-amber core with a subtle sweet musk, giving it a velvety, enveloping glow that feels both darkly romantic and sophisticated. It is most impactful in colder months, where its warmth and sillage truly shine, with strong projection lasting well beyond 12 hours for many. The scent commands attention without dominating, making it ideal for evening wear or intimate, date-like settings. Its unisex nature is easily embraced, equally suited to both male and female wearers seeking a bold, emotionally resonant rose experience.
