What does Passion smell like?

Amber, cognac and rum give it a warm, sweet, boozy start. Saffron adds spice, while frankincense brings a resinous, smoky edge. Woody and leathery accents temper the sweetness and settle it into an oriental body.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick winter and fall, mainly for nights out and evenings, and very few choose it for the office. Most read its character as masculine and classic. Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Desert Oud and Lattafa Anfas Oud have a close profile.
