What does Passion (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter and summer close behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and most voters call it feminine and classic.

A floral, green character comes first. Tuberose opens bright with lemon, then jasmine and ylang-ylang deepen the florals. In the base, oakmoss and patchouli build a chypre frame, while vanilla adds sweetness and a powdery, lightly spicy warmth. Prada La Femme Intense and Van Cleef & Arpels Gem (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
