by Al Haramain Perfumes
Portfolio Floral Sculpture Al Haramain delivers a bold, opulent rose centered fragrance with a richly layered dry-down dominated by patchouli, amber, and warm musks. The opening features a vibrant burst of bergamot, peony, and carnation, creating a sweetly green and slightly spicy floral burst that quickly transitions into a deeply seductive rose core with subtle dark fruit and incense-like depth. The scent evolves with a dry, earthy patchouli and sweet, vanillic benzoin, giving it a long, lasting presence even when the sillage diminishes after an hour. The fragrance is dramatically intense in projection for the first few hours, making it a powerful choice for evening wear, especially in cooler weather. It performs exceptionally well with longevity, believed to last up to 10 hours on skin, and is widely viewed as unisex, though some find its jammy rose and patchouli dominance more masculine than floral. It bears strong similarities to Portrait of a Lady by Frédéric Malle, but with a more assertive, earthier profile that some feel is more unforgettable and perfumery-excellent than its predecessor.
