Amouage has launched Portrayal, a new fragrance duo.
PORTRAYAL is a manifestation of a person’s orientation to him or herself. A reflection of his or her unique authenticity, it is about breaking free from the cages of solitude society sets around people because their truths are often seen as shockingly unconventional.
Portrayal Woman ~ "At the heart of Portrayal Woman is a smoky yet sweet mélange created by the fusion of Craven ‘A’ Tobacco with a dusting of Vanilla. Brought together with Jasmine at its top and Elemis at its base, it recreates 1920s liberation. The floral fragrance is for the poised and playfully refined woman who dares to defy. It is heartened with an undertone of the sensuality of Tuberose that together radiates a sultry trail of seductive sillage."
Portrayal Man ~ "Portrayal Man is an olfactive depiction of 1920s bohemian culture. Its woody and leather aroma exudes an air of exquisite audacity. It is about the arrogance and social tension in the world’s cultural discourse. With Vetiver at its heart and top notes of Violet Leaves, Portrayal Man emits a dandy yet masculine impression. Its light spicy facet enriches its woody base of Cade, allowing the fragrance to illustrate an enlightening energy that is unforgettable."
Amouage Portrayal Woman and Portrayal Man are available in 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

Yes, vetiver always reminds me of “the arrogance and social tension in the world’s cultural discourse.”
Amouage has totally dropped off my radar over the last year or so , did they cut the marketing budget? ‘Beach hut’ is the last one I can actually remember reading about and I got lost with all the Opuses
Haha – love your first sentence.
And Beach Hut just seemed kind of weird.
I don’t pay as much attention to Amouage as I used to so no idea…but they seem to still be going strong (?)
Hmmm, if I’m in a cage of solitude, it’s because I’m RUNNING AWAY and want to be left alone, thanks. ?
Yeah, my cage of solitude is usually self-imposed.
If these smell like people’s Truth, it’s going to be boring and a little stinky.
And then there’s that
LOL!!
Ever since Amouage released Honour, I kind of lost interest in Amouage. I think that Amouage needs to get back to their roots. They have released too many perfumes that I haven’t smelled elsewhere.
Well, the notes sound interesting. But the ad copy sounds like a prelude to a session with a psychiatrist. Did Christopher Chong leave the company? And yes, I agree that they should go back to some of their earlier expressions. Loved Ubar and adored Fate.
No, Chong is still there. (And that descriptions sounds just like Chong, to me.)
I don’t want anyone to take away my cage of solitude……LOL
I’m an extrovert, but I do occasionally require a timeout from others and from my own bad behaviors……
