Passion (Parfum)

"Passion is a dense, old-fashioned floral oriental introduced for women in 1987. Its opening combines jasmine, ylang-ylang, and lily of the valley for a lush, expressive floral character. Spices and musk deepen the heart, giving the fragrance a warm, powdery, and distinctly animalic texture. Frankincense, sandalwood, and cedarwood form a resinous, woody foundation with an incense-like richness. The overall character is dark, smooth, rich, and highly distinctive rather than light or minimalist. Passion is best suited to wearers who enjoy substantial vintage-style florals with strong personality and an elegant, dramatic presence."
