The Lover's Tale

Which Should You Buy?
Passion is properly divisive: a beastly, gothic powder-bomb, beloved by those who want to smell dark and mysterious, but completely overwhelming for others. Definitely a 'try before you buy' to see if you're a vamp or a victim.
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, a beast of a fragrance with a divisive opening that evolves into something truly seductive and artistic. Brace yourself, it's not shy, but those who 'get it' absolutely adore its raw, unapologetic charm.
