Which perfume house created Portrait of a Lady, the Frédéric Malle fragrance launched in 2010?

Éditions de Parfums Frédéric Malle created Portrait of a Lady, launched in 2010.

Portrait of a Lady was composed by Dominique Ropion for Éditions de Parfums Frédéric Malle. The fragrance is widely associated with a powerful rose and patchouli structure, with supporting notes that give it a rich, assertive character. Its name alludes to Henry James’s novel The Portrait of a Lady, although the perfume is not a direct adaptation of the book.

Frédéric Malle’s company is unusual in that its labels prominently identify the perfumers who create the formulas. This differs from many commercial fragrance systems, where the designer or fashion house receives most of the public attention. The company was founded in 2000 and was acquired by Estée Lauder Companies in 2015.
