Identity Unique Portrait

Notes & Nuances

Identity Unique Portrait opens with a blast of sugared raspberries and sharp pink pepper, a combination bordering on artificial. The black currant adds a slightly dank, earthy counterpoint. The rose surfaces quickly but lacks depth, smelling more like rose-scented soap than a velvety Turkish bloom. The clove and cinnamon are subdued, lending a subtle spicy warmth but never truly igniting. As it dries, the incense makes its presence known, mingling with the benzoin to create a resinous cloud. Unfortunately, the sandalwood comes across as synthetic and slightly plasticky, a departure from the creamy, woody base I was hoping for.

The Verdict

If Identity Unique Portrait were a character in a movie, it would be the charming con artist who looks the part but whose smile never quite reaches their eyes.

Wear time & Sillage

On my skin, Identity Unique Portrait lasts a solid 6-7 hours. Projection is initially quite strong, filling a room for the first hour or two, before settling into a more intimate, arm's-length bubble. I wore it to the office, and while not offensive, it was definitely noticeable. It would be best suited for cooler weather; I can imagine the sweetness becoming cloying in the summer heat.
