Passion de l’Amour

I ordered a House of Sillage discovery set and when I initially started wearing the different scents, I was underwhelmed. When I first sprayed this on I didn't love it. It opens strong and a bit sour and I screwed my nose up a bit. And then the sweetness hit. And oh my, the heady spice mix, the sweet and fruity and smooth oud goodness. I cannot stop smelling myself when I wear it, it is delicious on skin. It gets very hot and humid here in the summer and I think this will be too heavy then but it is perfect for the cool autumn nights were having now. I ordered the full bottle despite the heavy price tag because I plan to wear this all winter. I'm finding that nearly all the HoS fragrances I got are better with a few wears, to give yourself time to appreciate their complexities. I kind of wish I hadn't discovered this because now I want Benevolence and Hauts Bijoux and Chevaux D'Or too, and lordy those cupcake bottles are expensive.

Absolutely in love with! I get the tartness of the raspberry, the saffron and the oud mainly. No vanilla comes to my nose and I am not familiar enough with amyris, lily of the valley or liatris to say that I can smell them individually. BUTTTT this fragrance is so beautiful, in one layer the fruits make it light airy summery and flirty and in the under layer the oud gives it this dark nuance. Its like a beautiful woman who has terrible secrets haha. The oud in it is not heavy nor animalic, but comes off more like a dark woody scent. It is not a safe blind buy (even though i did) because of the oud. projection for me was a little more than arm's length and this fragrance lasted on me for over 12 hrs! which is amazing because my skin is typically dry and eats up fragrances quickly. Very glad i liked it, especially seeing that price tag, but I bought at a 40% discount from the site.

I love this frag, BUT I will say, as I've said on other HOS reviews...IMHO the "male" counterpart to MOST of their frags lean more "fem" than the actual feminine version. This is unisex...BUT the "male" version has more vanilla, fresh, sweet woodsy smell...while this version is more Oud, amyris, Saffron, & liatris, with hints and waves from, a light rasberry(not overly sweet at all), and patchouli. Just much more masc than the male version of this, same goes for the Ruby reign line, and batman BOTH frags are perfectly unisex imo. So keep that in mind. The ruby reign is SUPER masc, while the male version is much much much more fem. I traded with my fiance he agreed 100% on with opinion and wad happy to trade. But I still enjoy this fragrance very much. It's unique imo, an oud, forrest, fresh, spicy scent blended and done very well.

Wow, this house is seriously pretentious with its boring perfumes and cheap notes and unnecessarily high price tag. What you’re paying for is the cupcake bottle. That’s where 75% of the money goes to and I’m too much of a true scent lover to fall for a weak, generic perfume in a fancy bottle. Out of the ten samples I tried in the discovery kit, only one actually stood out as pretty decent. The rest are nothing special and not worth the high price tag. Save your money and buy two very well made perfumes. You have to remember , when the juice is gone u will be left with a useless cupcake perfume bottle. Cute but useless nevertheless.

I'm always looking for fragrances that have aoud as a background note without it taking over the entire fragrance. House of Sillage has created that in Passion de l'amour. This is a beautiful fruity perfume where the bergamot and raspberry really balance out the aoud and vanilla. It's very sweet, but the woody notes keep it from being too cloying. This is definitely going on my list of fragrances to purchase.

Now let me give you an honest review. This is amazing. Doesn't smell like anything in my collection which is rather large. It does start off a little citrusie and then the fruit and Vanilla comes through. You hardly can smell the oud. I believe it's only here to give the perfume a little debt. My husband keeps complimenting me on this one. Try it and you will like it. This fragrance has definitely wowed me.

Very nice, I’m getting all the notes at once. I only have a 10ml decant but it’s ok. I can’t wear the other hundreds of perfumes I already have. Although....I would love a pretty bottle. But this one is crazy expensive and I just don’t love it that much. For the money I’d rather buy a Roja

Thank goodness they used Oud and carmel, however, I can not smell the vanilla. Because of the Oud and carmel makes it last over an hour.This is an all year round day But, I will purchase Carnal Flower by Frederic Malle because it is better for me.

Sweet,warm and fudgelike at first, and after a while you detect the agarwood.It is really a scent up my alley.. I think it is a fragrance which reminds me of Angel in a good way.. The pricetag on this is not my cup of tea, though.

I am so in love with this fragrance! It smell absolutely wonderful! I can't believe a soft fruity floral gourmand oud scent exist! The scent last all day which is unbelievable! It's a beautiful addition to my fragrance collection!

You must enjoy oud to rock with this one. It is a fruity saffron cloaked in the most Oud. It’s an evening only fragrance for me, in heat or cold weather. Think of bond’s nomad or Xerjoff’s la capital elevated for a ballgown.

I feel the same as the previous reviewer. Initially, this was awful. Just a loud screeching mess, but I gave it some time and the dry down is beautiful. Great longevity and silage.

Love it! Was my first favorite from the house. Top 5 for sure. Unique, interesting and seductive are what this fragrance makes me feel.

PdlA is my first try-out from this house and I have to say, I'm impressed! It's a sweet, fruity oud with a soft, come hither sillage. Perfect date-night option. Other sweet ouds I have can be loud and dense which relegates their use in "cold weather" (CA) only but the oud here is subtle; lending an understated elegance to an otherwise sweet (maybe typical?) gourmand. Seems to be great quality too. Projection is not quite arm's length but it lasts and lasts. That said, the sillage is where it's at! I'd be compelled to stop someone to ask what they're wearing with this on. It's absolutely alluring. I've heard lots of chatter about HoS being overpriced scents, where the bottle is attributed to the high price tag rather than the quality of the juice, which was why I was hesitant to try. I have to say though, this offering makes me want to try more from the house. Yes, those cupcakes are fabulously bougie but, without knowledge of other offerings, this is so wearable which may justify cost per wear. I'd certainly pick up a bottle on a discount. A wearable sweet oud for summer nights? Yes, please!

I really love how this smells! I agree with the previous reviewer about it smelling like cardamom and raspberry cake, and I also get the hint of saffron and oud. This perfume seriously takes the cake for projection and longevity. Two sprays on my forearm last week was too much of a good thing, I was in a thick dizzying cloud of scent. A tiny bit got on the sleeve of my robe, and the smell was still going extremely strong on that sleeve five days later! I learned my lesson. The next time I used Passion de l’Amour, I only sprayed one spray onto the bottom edge of my shirt. That was perfect, I got consistent wafts of the scent for hours, without it being overwhelming. I think this one smells better on fabric than skin. Super beautiful fragrance, would be a great date night option!

get a woody warm scent , a bit different from the other frags. A fall-time fragrance. I get a bit of Amyris. I don't get the Raspberry, not that unique still. after 15 minutes, its still oudy and balsamic, no sweetness. This is more for older aged women and smells like it doesn't belong in HOS category of fragrances. id give it an 8/10, its not unique but not bad.

This is luxe. I mostly pick up on raspberry, caramel, and a nice smooth oud. It's sweet and sexy, but not too sweet. This would pair perfectly with a little black dress, it's the perfect special occasion fragrance.

To me, it smells very similar to Bvlgari Jasmin Noir! It's also reminiscent of mystical places where they have incense on and such. It's good, I would say elegant and for the sophisticated older crowd.

Blind bought the pocket spray samples in hopes the top notes would come through and that the patchouli wouldn't be present. Any patchouli, cedar, sandalwood, musk get pulled out fragrances on my skin as a heads up. I have a few perfumes which have one of those things on them and they're OK, but they much be outliers. Extremely strong patchouli, very "perfumey" smelling like fake floral? And it has a hint of something I can't put my finger on. Methanol maybe vs gasoline? As it dried down, I think the powdery oud started to come out, which I could tolerate if the patchouli didn't hit me in the face so dramatically. Not a lick of any fruit. Clearly based on the other reviews I'm definitely atypical in my feelings. I so wish the actual pleasant notes came out. Update: drydown an hour later on my clothing is more pleasant. I get whiffs of a clean laundry smell. Still smells awful on my skin, which is a bummer. Update 2: been trying to wear this bc I've determined despite the "old lady" hit you in the face gasoline noxious nauseating opening, if I suck it up for an hour or so i think the clean laundry whiff is the liatris and lily of the valley? Still can't determine if I actually like this, or if it ages me. I think both and I wish I could neutralize the patchouli. I need someone else to sniff me, or tell me how to neutralize that one smell.

It's a beast mode fragrance at first, but it does shift gears as you wear it... I get a fruity oud opening before the saffron becomes noticeable. A little more masculine than I like personally, however the vanilla does help to smooth & soften the scent midwear. After a while it becomes a soft, spicy blend of vanilla & oud. I can definitely see why people have voted "unisex" because the oud is the star of this show. For me, it's not a favorite, but I can appreciate the beauty in this fragrance. For layering, Mugler Angel Nova comes to mind..✨️
