An oriental rose in a velvet case — opulent, melting, unforgettable.
Turkish rose, patchouli, sandalwood, incense — rich, sensual, enveloping.
The Exquisite Butter Portrait of a Lady is the most intensely fragranced body care product from Éditions de Parfums Frédéric Malle — a house founded in 2000 that gives carte blanche to the greatest perfumers to create free and timeless author compositions. After the washing base prepares the skin in the shower, the body butter takes over to nourish, enhance, and prolong the scent with an intensity and persistence that no single perfume can match: the warmth of the skin makes the composition vibrate hour after hour.
The texture is of rare richness and sensoriality — dense, creamy, buttery, it melts upon first contact with the warmth of the skin, creating an immediate velvet sensation. It glides on and penetrates without ever leaving a greasy residue — the skin emerges nourished, smoothed, and subtly luminous. The Turkish rose settles with remarkable opulence and precision — deep, slightly spicy, absolutely majestic. Blackcurrant and raspberry bring a fruity vibrancy that illuminates. And patchouli, sandalwood, and incense structure the base in a woody and resinous warmth that permanently anchors the composition to the skin — a sillage that evolves, deepens, and never quite fades away.
The Exquisite Butter Portrait of a Lady is the care for those who want their skin to be a work of art — nourished, perfumed, memorable.

Exquisite Butter Portrait of a Lady by Frédéric Malle is a perfumed body butter — Turkish rose, blackcurrant, raspberry, clove, patchouli, sandalwood, and incense. Composed by Dominique Ropion. Available at Maison Diaphane, official retailer. Free delivery from €100 (in France).
What is the difference from Portrait of a Lady washing base?
The washing base cleanses and infuses the skin in the shower — it's the first act. The body butter nourishes and perfumes after the shower on dry skin — it's the second act. Together, they create a much deeper and more persistent olfactory imprint than a perfume alone.
Does the butter leave a greasy film?
No — despite its richness, the butter melts quickly with skin warmth and penetrates without leaving residue. The skin is nourished and satin-smooth, yet immediately comfortable and dry to the touch.
Can it be used with Portrait of a Lady perfume?
This is the recommended complete ritual: washing base in the shower, body butter afterwards, perfume on hydrated skin. All three share the same composition and create an enveloping and extremely persistent sillage — one of the most intense olfactory experiences imaginable.
For what occasion?
Portrait of a Lady is an exceptional perfume that deserves grand occasions — but its loyal wearers also use it daily. The body butter follows this rhythm: equally suitable for an important evening or for luxurious daily life. Especially in autumn and winter, when the depth of patchouli and incense fully blossoms.
