What does Passum smell like?

The opening brings hazelnut leaf, myrrh and frankincense, so resin and spice are there from the start. At the heart, Indian sandalwood, patchouli and iris build a woody, powdery body. In the base, labdanum, leather and white musk sweeten and soften the scent.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters suggest fall and spring, and it is chosen for leisure, daily wear and the office. Though sold as a men's fragrance, voters split evenly between masculine and feminine, so it sits somewhere in between. Morph Montmartre and Amouage Dia Man have a close profile.
