Passion for Men Elizabeth Taylor for men

im so happy i bought this on impulse and so pissed i waited so long. I like passion for women so i figured this would be a shoe in. Just like everyone says it is very different. From the first spray it smells like a light passion for women but with a typical mens water/musk scent. For lack of a better example lets say gucci guilty for men. That type of 90s smelling mens scent. I dont dislike guilty but i dont find it to be particularly unique. This is that and more with a hint of passion and a present but gentle lavender and woody coolness. Theres probably some vetiver but i dont feel like scrolling all the way up to check the notes. This scent isnt terribly unique either but thats actually what ive been looking for. I have too many flagship scents with enough character and uniqueness to knock over an elephant and sometimes i just want something that doesnt make me think a whole lot but still has some sort of imagination. The bottle as well as the scent stays in the same family as passion but with a masculine twist. Cooler and less ornate, the bottle still that signature violet and the art deco rising sun pattern. I would recommend this to anyone men or women who like passion, or to those who want to but cant. Its close enough to love but different enough for anyone else to like instantly. Definitely not a learn to love like the womens version

no ,no , no , too synthetic , no glamour , smells like an old fashioned barber shop perfume , headache at the end !

A very interesting oriental - the lavender up front really feels more like the intro for a fougere (and I'm surprised it isn't listed on this site), but eventually it warms into a dusty composition of cinnamon, styrax, nutmeg, and vanilla. Things are briefly brightened by a very dry bergamot, but Passion never really lightens up. This is a dry, dark, spicy scent with a very nice inedible vanilla base. Longevity is short, but that's where the pricetag comes into play, and for a drugstore fragrance, I'd rather the cheapness be in the longevity than in the scent quality. The scent IS quality, surprisingly. The box and bottle are oddly gothic, however, and the dry, aromatically herbal lavender that pervades the scent structure makes it feel a bit funereal and spooky. Passion is the darker Liz, before she got all bright and glittery with her '90s gemstone frags, and I like this Liz better. If you're skeptical about the scent, try it, give it a few wearings, and revisit it as it dries down. It's not going to feel like top-shelf perfume, but it's much better than you think.

well done Liz smells very mature and exotic very different from the female version. Was one of my favorite fragrances when I first bought and still is over 20 years later (even after the recipe and bottle were changed)

I expected much more from this fragrance, like for example better distinction of individual notes, better lasting power, better projection. It has none of the above, which accounts for an almost weak presence. Also, it smells a bit unnatural.

I've been using this since 1990. Don't walk away from it when you test it, the top notes are kind of feminine and harsh. Wait about 40 minutes, and then let the magic of this fragance grab you, and those around you. Very sexy and romantic (for dating only, no doubt), 30 year and over, lasts forever, and women loves it!.

My boyfriend bought this from TJ Maxx because it was marked down, and it smells great. I love when he wears this, I find it very seductive. It smells like a mature sexy confident man. Not like all these cheap young guy smells they make today that all smell the same and smell bad. This is different and really good.

This is a nice fragrance that can be found for great prices. I don't exactly care for the fragrance until the dry down and then the vanilla starts to come out for me. It starts off too spicy and sharp then dries into a nice unoffensive vanilla based fragrance on my skin. 7.5 out of 10. Nicely priced frag that many could wear and have as a signature scent.

"Dark and mysterious, but behind the cape is romance." Wow, what a statement. I can totally agree with that.

Waiting for the dry-down is something of a thrill. From underneath this cape you speak of, comes bursts of lavender florals, woods and amber that illustrates the very colors on the box. Smoothed over by bergamot and romance defined by ylang ylang.

I am not familiar with the concentree version of this cologne released in the early 90s. I was much too young to even have something such as fragrances in mind, but I savor my moments with the "Passion" that I know. Dark and mysterious, but behind the cape is romance. This is worn by a gentleman who is aware of what he wants and eliminates his obstacles.

Does anyone remember the concentrated version of Passion for men that was available in the early 90's? It was called "concentrated cologne" and it had a golden crest symbol on the bottle. I don't know how long that version was available, but I can't find it or anything about it nowdays, but I remember buying a 4oz bottle of it in 1991 and liking it MUCH better than the original, although the original is good, but not as intoxicating, or intense and long lasting as the concentrated version was. I think they're using a lot of synthetics in the version nowdays because it has a weird chemical smell in the drydown that was never there before. If that is the case it's really a shame they have to skimp on quality ingredients and ruin a good thing. To my nose, they did the same thing to the women's version...so sad.

It is really spicy but still sweet and tender.Wear it for romantic evenings.Draws compliments.I like it

I bought this when it first came out. It was a little too sweet and feminine smelling for me. By feminine, I mean it smelled too much like a women's perfume than a men's cologne.
