What does Passion (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

The top notes of lily of the valley, ylang-ylang and jasmine open floral. Musk and spices move in at the heart, sweetening the scent and giving it a powdery, slightly smoky edge. Cedarwood, sandalwood and frankincense form a woody, oriental base, with a faint animal warmth underneath.

Longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick winter and fall, and evening and nights out lead the occasions; summer and the office are rarely chosen. Most voters find it feminine and classic. Its profile is close to Avon Night Musk and Yves Rocher Ode au Rêve.
