This fragrance combines the notes of cedar wood, amber, bergamot, rose and clementine to create a modern classic perfume.
It is available as 60 ml EDP, purse perfume and body crème. Tiempe Passate was launched in 1999. The nose behind this fragrance is Norbert Bijaoui.
This is the only Antonia's Flowers perfume I don't like. I get very queasy with a lot amber, and this is intense amber on a strong cedar base. It's too one-dimensional for my taste and needs a little "something" to make it more enjoyable. I don't detect any musk whatsoever. The Antonia's Flowers website doesn't say anything about musk either. I think this is miscategorized as a floral woody musk.
I bought this fragrance and loved it when I had it. It is an earthy floral. It is excellent for the summer/fall. I always received compliments when I wore it. It kind of reminds me of Les Nuits d'Hadrien, but that one has Mandarin in it. I think the color of the fragrances and the other notes make them similar.
It took me a while to use the bottle up as I wanted to hang on to it for as long as I could, but now that I used it up, I am not sure if I will buy it again. Odd, right?
Nothing about this appeals to me. It is acrid and discordant, with a biting, sharp edge that doesn't soften. I get an unwelcome orris root note that others don't, apparently. The price seems way out of line with the quality.
Tiempe Passate is a really nice perfume. When ever I wear it, it reminds me of an old French countryhouse in the summer, filled with great smelling flowers from the garden. Its comforting and makes me feel happy. Tiempe starts of very woody and becomes more flowery after a while. It is not a sweet scent, it's pretty dry in a lovely, womanly way.
The only problem I have with this fragrance is it's sillage. It takes 6 sprays for me to smell anything and it stays really close to the skin: nobody smells it on me. For such an expensive perfume I find that to be very dissapointing.
I bought this today. Someone here mentioned it smells of Dove soap and sort of agree. It reminds me of someone just having a shower and smelling yummy and clean. Has very spring fresh smell and will be gorgeous on a hot day.
I adore this fragrance, yet strangely I don't detect any of the notes that are actually supposed to be in it! To me it's lightly floral, with a hint of wood. When it settles down it gives me a subtle hint of tobacco, in a good, very slightly sleazy, 'morning-after-the-night-before' way!
On the downside, it is very overpriced. However,I have discovered that the body cream is much cheaper and has great staying power, so that makes a decent substitute until I feel I can afford to treat myself to another bottle of the fragrance!
This one seems even more dependent on skin chemistry than most fragrances. I loved it for the first five seconds. It smelled like a delicious unisex woody-floral. I was looking forward to the rest of it. And then...it vanished, leaving behind only the faintest hint of soap. And not even expensive soap, at that. It smelled, in fact, almost exactly like a bar of Dove.
I asked my husband if he could smell anything where I'd applied it and shoved my arm in his nose. He sniffed, frowned, sniffed again, and then said: "Well...I can smell it a little. I think. It smells faintly like soap. Unless that's just the soap you used this morning?" (I only used unscented soap that morning to prepare for testing) So it's not just my nose! It must be my skin.
Definitely try this one before you buy. If it works on your skin, I can imagine it being soooo wonderful and delicious. But you might be like me, in which case a bar of Dove would be far less expensive.
About 2 months ago, I was looking for a perfume at Mecca, because I was sick of buying department store fragrances and smelling like every other girl I passed on the street. As soon as I walked in, I smelled something amazing, and knew that I needed to find the source of that smell at any cost. An hour later, due to the confusion of all the smells wafting around the store, I ended up purchasing something that was not Tiempe Passate, and once I got it home and smelled it, was bitterly disappointed with my purchase. Since then, I have been back to Mecca time after time to smell this fragrance, and even though it costs a small fortune (a ridiculous amount, really), I am intent on buying this. It lasts forever on my skin, has such a warm, glowing scent that seems just right for me, and is neither too sweet nor too manly for my tastes. This is a scent that will completely envelope you, yet is never overbearing. The most perfect smelling perfume I have ever come across.
I bought Tiempe Passat in 2005, and I love it more today than I did back then. I think I've grown into it and simply feel more confident wearing it. (I am a very late perfume bloomer, but better late than never!) I agree with the previous review in that this does make me want to smile. It's the bergamot and clemantine? It sparkles. So good. This scent lasts on me, right on through to the next morning when it's dead sexy. Drawback? It can make me sneeze if I over-apply, but I don't care. I think I'll always love this.
I ordered the sample pack from the website, ran through all the viles and picked this one to try first. The amber is noticable immediately, and along wiht the citrus twist make this very 'nose' catching.
I find that a green opening, especially from bergamot, provides an instant lift in mood. This scent makes you just want to smile, it's very refreshing.
I associate it a little bit with Yves Rocher's Voile d'ambre (which has no amber at all, I know). The citrus theme is reminiscent (a little bit) of Guerlain's philtre d'amour.
My one complaint, and it's a biggie, is that this is an EDP that is way too fleeting. Perhaps it is my skin chemistry, but this wears really light on me.
