Still, Portrayal is a pretty one, with just enough vanilla (and just enough lack of strong indoles) to keep it feeling contemporary and wearable.
I rarely wear tuberose-heavy fragrances, since they just don't feel like "me," although I do like sniffing the actual flowers whenever I have a chance. It evokes tuberose more than jasmine, to my nose. In any case, Portrayal is a classical white floral, smooth and creamy and conventionally feminine. I don't know whether I understand the 1920s reference I don't associate big white florals with that era as much as I do with the 1940s ( Fracas, Billie Holiday with gardenias in her hair, etc.). Portrayal Woman, developed for Amouage by perfumer Annick Menardo, is "an olfactive portrayal of the 1920s cultural liberation" with a "playful refinement" and notes of jasmine, tuberose, "Craven A tobacco accord," elemi and vanilla.
The fragrance duo of Portrayal Woman and Portrayal Man, in their matching iridescent white bottles, was launched back in April and I've just had a chance to try a sample. My interest in Luxury-with-a-capital-L fragrance houses, never too intense in the first place, has dwindled over recent years meanwhile, Amouage's pace of new releases has been fast and furious. I have to confess that I haven't been keeping up with Amouage very well lately.
