Passion Rose

wow! one of the best rose based fragrances out there, no doubt. rose accord done right! the rose is not your regular designer synthetic, mainstream sweet floral kind, the rose in this smells more natural, like actual rose petals; it is very crisp, soft, and slightly green (which gives it a tea-like nuance). nice bright & fresh opening with passionfruit, rose, blackcurrant, a bit of saffron, pink pepper & really soft oud accord. i don't really get any bergamot. the passionfruit here is almost on par with oud maracuja except the passionfruit in oud maracuja is sharper, and this passionfruit accord is less sharp but retains that fruity, tropical, juicy accord. dries down to even more rose, with bits of herbal petitgrain & a light jasmine. base is unusual but good, grapefruit note used in base? only lorenzo does this sort of weird move, but somehow he got it to work, the base is nothing too crazy—nice musk, slight oakmoss, wood, & a tiny touch of vanilla & leather accord. i don't pick up any grapefruit note in the base. longevity is insane for a freshie, and the projection is surprisingly good too for how oily this formula is, it definitely shines more in the heat, it'll make the scent jump off your skin even more. this is a perfect rose-based freshie with a different take on it, perfect for floral lovers. also, i have to disagree with what @toothfairy0595 said below; this is one of the best, if not the best, floral fruity I have ever smelled; I am not sure what he/she is saying lol; this is what adonis awakens by argo should be, but argo's is slightly synthetic and not as smooth. overall, 10/10 (amazing scent & performance)

Just like everyone says, it is a fizzy passionfruit with roses. But is has a solid density/thickness that makes it a bit cloying on the hottest day and perfectly fresh on the coldest day. It is not an airy fruity rose or a gourmand rose. It is a dense waxy fruity rose. It is a beautiful feast of uplifting fruity notes and romantic roses. The biggest applause for this is it does not go into a gourmand territory of sweetness like many in the market today. It maintains its fruity rosy character with freshness til the end. It smells quiet simple and familiar but also very reserved in the way that it projects and the drydown it is going to. Opens up with a fizzy sweet fruity notes of passion fruits that right away accompany by waxy romantic Bulgarian Rose (most similar to Initio Atomic Rose). It also slightly reminds me of FENTY Fenty edp. It remains that way for almost the whole time, but the roses dissipate slowly into the drydown where it turns into a very light citrusy musky skin scent. It may be a bit cloying from the cosmetic-like density of Bulgarian rose in a hot summer day. But during the colder months, it is very beautiful. It is uplifting during the grey/blue fall/winter days and brightly delighting during summer nights. The thickness of the rose lifts the fruitiness into the air beautifully. It is beautiful on a lady and also delightful on a man. .

Wow 🌹✨ Let me just start by saying this: This fragrance is for Rose lovers. If you do not like/love Rose, this one isn’t for you. This is indeed passion for Rose. It’s a Strong Rose with a fruity and citrusy presence. The Rose note itself is present from beginning to end but it shifts from fruity to green to woodsy as the day goes by. This can be a moody rose with earthy undertones, but at times, it’s a joyous and regal Rose that has an undercurrent of fruits with a whisper of sweetness, at least in the top notes. As the day goes by, it turns more into a woodsy and green fragrance with traces of citrus and musk notes. No sweetness at all in the mid and drydown notes. It pulls more mature and dare I say matronly? Lasts all day, longevity wise. Not a bomb of a perfume nor is it a skin scent. I am admiring the craftsmanship and quality of Lorenzo Pazzaglia’s work. All in all, I love it 🌹🌹

Fizzy, Sugary, and I MEAN REALLY SUGARY. It's got this really intense tart fruitiness that reminds me of passion fruit pulp. There is a floralcy that is unmistakably non-white and non-yellow, so by default it must be a rose or a peony, given how fruity it is. I really like it. It kinds reminds me of Atomic Rose with how tart it gets, but I still find this a bit tarter and fruitier and darker than Atomic Rose. AR leans more on the citrus and the pink pepper with some underpining vanilla, Passion is solely dependent on the pulp of the passion fruit. There's something like menthol in the first application, which makes me think of a nice tropical cocktail for this. I love it. I think it's full bottle worthy and somewhat a nice reprieve from the very dense vanilla-based gourmands in the house.

Lovers of the ROSE you cannot fail to take into consideration this splendid creation by Lorenzo. In this fragrance we have the rose protagonist in all respects, a fresh, candid, sparkling, joyful, wet and crunchy rose. A sparkling rose opening thanks to the notes of pink pepper and saffron, fresh, citrusy, I find it truly exquisite and natural. A rose that is the protagonist in all respects in this fragrance that I still see as a unisex perfume that winks at the feminine but that I too would wear without problems. Versatile, wearable in my opinion in any season and in any context. It gives me joy and serenity. Well done !
