By the editors · 2 min readPassion is an 80s powerhouse that announces itself without apology. Gardenia, ylang-ylang, lily of the valley, and bergamot open in a constellation that reads as one statement rather than individual notes — a bright, high-pitched floral chord with a citric frame. The heart is where Passion becomes genuinely complex: tuberose and jasmine deepen the florality, heliotrope and honey soften it toward the powdery and slightly animalic, rose adds fullness, while sandalwood and patchouli begin the transition downward.
The base is an event in itself — oakmoss, leather, civet, incense, and coconut working alongside vanilla and cedar into something textured and warm. By modern standards the projection is enormous; this is emphatically not a skin scent. It fills a room and lingers. For those who find most contemporary fragrances timid, Passion is a useful corrective.
