By the editors · 2 min readPassionate opens with a bright citrus-floral accord — orange blossom and bergamot shimmering against lemon in a clean, luminous opening. Jasmine, lily of the valley, and rose at the heart form a classic white-floral triptych, lush without heaviness, the kind of floral that was considered benchmark femininity in the early 80s. Tonka, benzoin, and amber in the base warm the composition into a soft oriental finish, cedar providing structure. This is a well-crafted feminine floral oriental, unpretentious and elegantly assembled — the kind of fragrance that doesn't need to explain itself. It simply works, in the tradition of its era.
