What does Passion de L'Amour smell like?

The opening of bergamot, saffron and raspberry is fruity and spicy. In the heart, lily of the valley, amyris and caramel bring florals and sweetness together. In the base, oud, vanilla, patchouli and liatris spicata absolute dry down into a woody, animalic warmth.

Voters rate its longevity as strong and its sillage as good. Most pick autumn and winter, and evening or a night out suit it best; summer and the office are rarely chosen. Most voters read its character as feminine. Parfums d'Elmar Elixir d'Amour and Marc Gebauer Red Sand have a close profile.
