Portrayal Man Eau de Parfum

What it is: An olfactive portrayal of the 1920s bohemian culture, this woody and leather fragrance exudes an air of exquisite audacity.

Fragrance story: It is at first a violet leaf, green and watery. Shady, growing alone under a carpet of immaculate snow. Images of czars wrapped in furs, of the burnished coldness of a multicoloured taiga full with the slightly sweet, powdery scent of imaginary violet flowers. Then it becomes a leather, neither animalic nor aggressive but polished, varnished. An abundant atmosphere of heavy fabrics, of cold tobacco, of peaty and ambery javanese vetiver; and aged spirits evaporating in crystal glasses. All that remains is the pyrogenic smell of cade, of logs and ashes and coal, sleeping in the silent heart; an incomparably vast and heavy yet sophisticated sillage. A woody and leathery interpretation of early dandyism, Portrayal Man exudes a sheer masculine flair and a lofty, unforgiving audacity.
