A Portrait — a Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab fragrance
A Portrait is an oil-based fragrance by Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, released in 2022.
This unisex composition is for those who love expressive sweet fragrances with floral, fruity and balsamic facets.
Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab is known for its unconventional approach to perfumery, in which a fragrance becomes part of a personal story, image and mood.
A Portrait continues this creative direction: the composition is built around the contrast of juicy strawberry, sugary sweetness, spicy carnation, dark labdanum and earthy patchouli.
Character and scent profile
The main impression of A Portrait is rich, sensual and slightly theatrical.
The fruity-sweet accord does not come across as a simple dessert-like embellishment: it is supported by the spicy floral nuances of carnation, the resinous depth of labdanum and the dry, woody-earthy facet of patchouli.
Thanks to its oil base, the fragrance develops close to the skin, gradually gaining density and leaving a noticeable, very powerful trail.
A Portrait will appeal to fans of expressive compositions that do not try to go unnoticed and are highly memorable in their surroundings.
Fragrance pyramid and olfactory facets
In fragrance classification, A Portrait combines sweet, fruity, floral and balsamic directions.
The overall palette also has a woody accent, making the composition feel layered and contrasting: from bright berry sweetness to spiciness, resinous depth and warm richness.
The perfumers behind the composition
The fragrance was created by perfumers Brian Constantine and Elizabeth Barrial.
Their work is built on an expressive combination of familiar materials: strawberry and sugar create an appealing opening, while carnation, labdanum and patchouli add complexity, density and character.
When and for whom A Portrait is suitable
The fragrance is designed for women and men and develops particularly well in cool weather, when sweet and balsamic accords feel more expansive.
It can be chosen for evening outings, creative gatherings, dates or occasions when you want to emphasize your individuality.
Because of its very powerful trail, it is best applied with moderation.
No precise recommendation for the number of sprays on skin or clothing is provided in the database; for an oil-based fragrance, it is sensible to start with a small amount and assess its development on your own skin.
Concentration and similar fragrances
A Portrait is available as an oil-based fragrance.
Information about other concentrations of this composition is not provided, so it is impossible to compare it with Eau de Toilette, Eau de Parfum or Extrait versions.
If you like the idea of a noticeable, sweet and emotional scent profile, you may wish to explore Maori Collection Love next, and compare it with other fruity, floral and sweet fragrances.
At the same time, A Portrait stands out for its combination of a strawberry-sugar accord with spicy carnation, labdanum and patchouli.
