Bourjois Clin d'Oeil Passionée is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1999. Bourjois's Clin d'Oeil Passionée carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

A divisive, unapologetically retro floral that some adore for its vintage charm and surprising depth, while others find it dated and too floral. If you're after a cheap thrill with a classic vibe, this might just be your hidden gem.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

This scent opens with a bold, almost spicy carnation, quickly joined by the heady, creamy richness of jasmine and gardenia. It's a full-bodied floral bouquet that feels opulent and a touch powdery, settling into a warm, velvety vanilla base. Imagine a classic, sophisticated floral with a hint of old-school glamour, rather than a modern, airy composition.
