Elizabeth Taylor Passion is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1988. Passion opens with Bergamot, Ylang-Ylang, Lily Of The Valley, and Gardenia, settles into a heart of Spicy, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Oakmoss, and Vanilla. Elizabeth Taylor's Passion carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

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.

About

Bold, unashamedly 80s, Passion opens with a punch of bright aldehydes and rich white florals like gardenia and ylang-ylang, laced with a hint of spice. The heart quickly deepens into a warm, powdery embrace of orris, honey, and prominent sandalwood. The dry-down is where the true character emerges: a long-lasting, sensual base of civet, leather, oakmoss, and incense, creating a dark, animalic warmth contrasted with creamy vanilla.
