Passion by Elizabeth Taylor

nyoka

I was desperate to find my hubbys fav scent.I told him the next time he smelled a woman that he really liked,to ask her what she was wearing.Well,it was passion.I ran out and bought some,came home and took a hot sensual shower,sprayed my wonderful treasure waited 30 min(had to let those first notes dry)and slinked into the den.I slowly walked over,sat in his lap,pressed my chest to his nose and said(honey,is this what you like)?He looked at me in horror,really almost wild eyed and sobbed(what in the world are you wearing)?He didnt mean my sexy little teddy either.Why you smell like the bug man!!!!needless to say,I dont like it.Really i didnt like it from the first spray.Soooo either the lady lied,or,my body chemistry is way out there.good thing though,it did not last long on me.Thank God.

Passion started out strong and plush. I had dabbed some on my wrists and behind my ears, and that was plenty. I thought I was going to like it. Over time, though, it turned sort of powdery, then musty, then several hours later it was just downright stinky. I don't want to be gross, but Passion's farewell reminded me of preserved animals from high school biology class. I wish it could have stayed as nice as in the beginning :(

Loved the bottle, loved the 1st sniff - hated it on me. It just got stronger & stronger the longer I wore it.
Terrible headache & other people gave me the "what is that smell" look.

It came as a gift from my father. At first it is very strong but in a few minutes it turns into a powder type smell but it still has the strong scent that is like a punch to the face. There is so much going on that I cannot distinguish any of the notes.

I Love this one! Fine quality for a grood price too! For real women!

I like this perfume. Its one of the better ones that ET created. Its powdery scented mixed with a floral. Its not for everyone. I don't get the "Old Lady" picture in my head when I smell this so it is just a matter of what the nose perceives from it. Its one of the few perfumes that I received complements when waring. Go figure............not an all time favorite but a do like it alot.

One of the strongest perfumes I have tried, and I don't mean strong as a compliment. The dry down didn't help much either, as the perfume is quite linear and didn't change into something different or better. It was still like a punch on your nose! I think there is too much going on here, and as well as that, some of the notes do not go well at all with the rest of the formulation. If you are easily prone to headaches, keep miles away from this one.

Way too strong for my taste. The fragrance quickly became distorted even though I always keep all of my perfumes in its original box.

Up until five minutes ago I have had this memorable fragrance in my collection since its introduction in the late eighties. Used to be a favourite but I stopped wearing ten years ago when a long term love affair ended inamicably. My Grandmother also wore this fragrance when she was alive and my Mother still wears it, so my relationship with Passion is ambiguous and conflicting. I just gave my mother my bottle because she mentioned she was nearly out. I like the idea of being able to smell Nanna through Mum; I am now friends with my former flame but Passion is a constant reminder of when we used to burn and yearn for each other, an association much better left in the past where it belongs.

Passion! What a memory from the past!
I would feel a little bit ashamed now to say I wear Elizabeth Taylor on my skin, but back in time I did!
This was signature's scent for an old schoolmate and it suited her very much!
She was an exuberant girl and she also shared a hint of tackyness with this scent, LOL! So many memories!
Passion is really on a blade edge between sexy/passionate and granny/tacky. So funny.
I didn't know the formula was so complex. It mostly smells like a big bunch of flowers with powdered oriental spices in it. More of a floral-oriental rather than plain oriental. It is not a European scent, but it's very Elizabeth Taylor!
It surely hits you on your nose, may be in a good way or a bad one.
I tend to consider this as an night out sexy scent for a dinner or theatre, kind of a clichè. and believe it or not it smells romantic!
I can't find it anymore where I live. Anyway I wouldn't wear this now because of the '80s style it has. I don't like that trend anymore. I own a little very old miniature that has gone slightly off. It still smells so so. When I happen to open that little bottle a whole world is open again for me!
I have to be honest: I love this scent for a memory reason. If not, I would classify it as Museum half-crappy for overdone fake blond overdone lady in her 45 and most of all I would name it "tacky" in all its aspects: scent, bottle and box. Ivana Trump could wear this. A pleasant celeb genial expression of tackyness. A work of art.

One of my favorites. It has the most unique scent wether some think it is old lady or not I will wear it. It has powdery jasmine smell that I really like and it is strong but gets more mild as you wear it.

I picked this up on a whim today - they had 1/2 oz. bottles for $12.99 at my local CVS and I thought - what the heck! I'm glad I got it - it opens up somehow both sweet and spicy, the notes perfectly balanced to create a very unique arrangement on my skin. As it is settling it, it is becoming warmer and softer, but still maintaining that careful line of sweet/spicy. I really quite like it!

I love Elizabeth Taylors Passion. This is a sexy fragrance. I buy this one often.

I had this but after a while I just couldn't wear it any longer. It's quite strong and out there, gave mine to mom since she loves it so much.

I have it but I don't like it. It was a gift and I have worn it only once. Too strong and old lady for my taste. And surprisingly, not very long lasting.

To me this smells like an old woman's fragrance... when I was younger I liked White Diamonds but I just can't get the old picture of Liz Taylor out of my head when I smell this.
