Passion Dance

I was craving something with rose and immortelle, and I've found a used bottle of this beauty for just 3€. It's the old one with the vertical writing. Don't get fooled by its cheesy name and cheap bottle: this is a gorgeous scent for those who love dark vintage things. When I first got it I just found it a nice perfume for the price, but it really grew on me in the last few months. I always end up reaching for the bottle when I'm going out on a Saturday night. It fits my personality and gothy style in such a perfect way that it's gaining a signature status. It's dark and opulent, it feels like a soft, dark red velvet curtain enveloping you. It is marked as an oriental, but it's 100% a chypre. Opens pleasantly sour and green, but it feels warm and opulent after a while. Makes me think of a 50s diva putting on her makeup in a dark boudoir. It's sexy and narcotic in a very mature way. Sorta reminds me of La Fille de Berlin. They don't smell alike, but they share a similar "opulent dark rose" vibe. Also, it's a great compliment getter even from the normies who usually say that my chypres and my roses smell of old lady. I sprayed some on during a dinner party, and an entire room of La vie est Belle and Sauvage wearers was delighted by it. Those same friends usually complain about my roses and my chypres, but not with Passion Dance. A guy even went online to look for a bottle as soon as I told him the name. Projection is really good on me, I was wearing 3 sprays and my dad was able to smell it from the other side of the room. I'm one to really easily get nose blind, other perfumes usually only last 15 minutes before I'm unable to smell them. This one is so present in my personal bubble that it often gives me headaches! 3 sprays are def enough. To me it evokes feminity, however it's absolutely unisex. I hope the new bottle has the same formulation of the old bottle I have, cause this really is a beauty, and a great quality perfume for the ridiculous price it has.

wow, a truly surprising gem! i'm not (or at least wasn't) a fan of avon fragrances but i ended up receiving it in a big bag of assorted old cheap perfumes. i'm a 25 year old woman so i wasn't expecting to find many favorites (though, surprisingly, i have found some that became instant top faves-mostly all a notch higher price wise though-CK mostly) this was one that truly impressed me to the point of changing my opinion from an instant strong like to a definite love all in the span of under 5 minutes. everything has mostly been said, so i'll just repeat the points i strongly agree with: very confident, sensual, down right sexy, but also mysterious and dark and with the potential for moodiness (like me, lol); for a confident even intimidating (and taking pride in being so) yet also with a strong sensual deep soft side; strong oakmoss, vetiver, patchouli, corriander, rose, woodsy notes, dirty musk (but also somehow clean, strange as it sounds. or maybe it alternates through the progression overlapping at points...) all of that. if that kind of stuff is up your alley, you will love this. it ticks ALL my boxes. i will be ordering several backups, like other previous reviewers who love it too. if you believe in the hair color/tone/perfume thing, idk if i do, but i'm a warm toned redhead (more on the auburn end of the spectrum) and this scent and scents like this, with notes like in this one, seem to work very well for me and are exactly my type.

Witchy, maybe. Churchy, yes. Kinda gothic too. The scent of a woman not to be provoked. Very sexy, assertive, cool scent profile. Perfect for winter especially chilly early mornings and nights. The citrus opening is quite bold, the bitterness of the grapefruit is almost photorealistic. Shortly after come those white and yellow florals to lighten the citrus cloud; the rose gives it a dewy fresh kick; this mix of the earthy and powdery is balanced by a ~ creamy ~ warm amber and woods and spicy patchouli mellowed down in this creaminess of a base, really make this fragrance a unique experience. Longevity looks quite promising after macerating this edt. Sillage is above intimate, moderate. I see why this is NOT a safe blind buy, and not for everyone, but I love it. I see the passion associated with its name, but not of romantic symbolism. 9/10 & will repurchase. Note: this perfume smells like a herbal/woody lotion that I used to use in a hotel room my father booked for a trip, more than 15 years ago. Sensory memory is a fun thing.

I am a fan of sunny, nectary sweet white florals and creamy vanillas, so judging by the notes here, this was totally not for me. However, there was just something intriguing about it so I decided to buy it - why not try something different? I was pleasantly surprised. First of all, it has a very decent longevity and projection for a cheap EDT. Also, it's well-balanced, most importantly, not too sharp, woody, or spicy. I wouldn't call it outstanding, but it's still noticeable enough. There is definitely a dark sensual femme fatale vibe about it but it's not provocative or overpowering. Great for an evening date somewhere casual. Could be worn at the office in colder weather. For that price, I'd say, give it a try. Edit: I can't believe I am ordering a second bottle of this. I grew to love it so much, and it just got so many compliments. The name and packaging are quite silly and cheap-looking - ignore all that, this is a true hidden gem.

Wow! So glad I found this gem! A timeless beauty, ..moist...soil....air...clean...juicy... it luckely blends all very well with my skin. Beautiful patchouli/ rose scent, not loud or lineair, but vibrant, constantly moving . Its a scent with a lot of carracter and it does nt give a *...* that its that cheap and ugly bottled and boxed.... cause it knows better, its the inside that counts. Yes, I def. bought a few back ups. This is my first big love for a perfume thats rated thàt low on fragantica, it must be a love or hate . Lasts about 6 hours on my skin in a cold and humid climate and 2 days on fabric. Sept. 2022 : Again what a gem! I can t wait for autumn and wintertime to use it as an almost basecoat-scent. Plain this is a beautiful scent, don t get me wrong... but layered with a saffron or coffee scent .. oh my!.... its devine! And it also gives a lot off stayingpower and depth to weaker scents.
