Passion

Just received this in the mail. Blind purchase based on the reviews from this site. Beautiful packaging , beautiful bottle , the fragrance is super sexy and nice. I cannot wait to wear it this week. This is not an everyday fragrance, too expensive to use it everyday, more like a going out juice. If you need something unusual in your collection ladies, buy this one! This is definitely a winter evening or night fragrance, it stays on your skin for hours. Edit: I wore this to an appointment, I walked in, the adm assistant's first question was " What is that you are wearing"?. I was not sure how to respond, I did not know whether she meant that I smelled like a skunk or my outfit made me look like a homeless person, pimp or a hooker. I said to her I am not sure what you meant by your question. She said, ok------ I was referring to this beautiful fragrance you have on. I told her what it was. While I was waiting all the women in the office came to smell me. It was weird. I ended up sharing the website with them. I realized I had the perfume in my bag, I allowed them to spray it on them, one woman sprayed it so much on her, she made my heart skip a beat. I think the bottle is at 75% now. Don't ever show your perfume to crazy women, they will use the heck out of it. LOL

Sweet and caramel scent with a slight hint of oud. The oud wood is remarkable but the perfume does not have the animalistic, medicinal or fecal character that oud usually has, but the dark wood part. Even so, for me the sweet part wins the battle in the perfume, the mixture of vanilla, caramel and orange, which makes it a delicious perfume, for me quasi gourmand despite its oriental point. It is an amber and balsamic perfume perfect for nights especially in cold seasons. Performance is pretty average ... Scent: 10 Longevity: 8 Sillage: 6 Versatility: 7 Originality: 9 Overall: 9.5

This is beautiful! From everything i've tried, Micallef blends the best sweet vanilla with a luxurious feel. It's a woody vanilla caramel, delicious and smooth. No matter how much I spray, it never becomes tiresome. It's long lasting on skin, not projecting much and not a morning-at-work thing (to me). Rather a frag for cozy evenings. Not much to say about notes evolution, but that drydown is divine. Must be a sweet scents lover though. First time i wore it, i had the sensation i had fine sugar powder on my hair surrounding neck skin. Love it, bought a full bottle.

Its a very very nice fragrance. Whats wrong with you guys?? Its one of the best. Heavy but not annoying, more on the feminine side and very nice scent. Great projection. Make you feel rich. Its not arabic or oud like or annoying. Why its so underrated here Very very very nice bottle, its all metal and super heavy. Very nice feeling holding it in your hand.

Sweet! Juicy! Kinda mouth watering. Ambery balsamic. Not oudy. Beautiful smell. Nice bottle. The balsam ambery part make me think of sarah parker Gold Spot. Like this Gold Spot to me is more ambery balsamic sweet than oudy with a lil seductive funk richness.

I love this. It’s sweet and spicy. Bright. The orange and cinnamon are actually a great combination here and I don’t get Pledge vibes at all. The second day I wore this I picked up a masculine note that made me love this even more!

Impressive gourmand oud with spicy notes. Warm, well balanced, just wow! Perfect longevity - I can smell it on my cloths for weeks!

This smells very festive! Orange and cinnamon are a duo that makes me think of Christmas time instantly, and they are both very noticeable here. But the oud is not shy either and takes this perfume out of the literal food scent territory. It can be a little too scratchy for me at first, and has a hint of animalic notes that I don't love. After the fragrance has fully dried down, that changes. Now oud blends in with caramel and benzoin, which are both insanely warm, scrumptious and cozy, almost creamy. The cinnamon is still noticeable and even a little orange clings to the base. This phase is very long-lasting on my skin and only gets better with time. I really love the drydown, but the first couple of hours are not quite what I like to wear. But that's not the fragrances fault, I'm just not that into woody scents and need a lot of balancing notes to make oud palatable to me. I still think anyone who is looking for a gourmand oud, regardless of gender, should try this. I have never smelled something quite like it.

Fit for autumn, winter and spring. I wore it in summer and had a great day in it yet it is warm and oriental. Oudy, but light and has fruity facets among smoky sweetness. Oud note dominates, but is well-balanced by creamy sandalwood and earthiness of patchouli. It does not have any challenging facets here. Fruity notes are also strong in this one, reminiscent of dates. Caramel also shows. It is strong but mellow for the person wearing it. In the car however, I had a hard time. Is it passionate? Maybe. It is unisex. I do not feel much evolution during wear, maybe the orange and cinnamon get more pronounced. I am between like and love with this one. It reminds me of the smell in a luxurious and perfumed boutique. It feels luxurious. I feel it still in the morning.

I’m sure others exist but it’s a first for me, Passion is a gourmand Oud. I smell the top voted notes: caramel, orange, patchouli, cinnamon, benzoin and Oud, ....individually. I can’t remember the last time that happened to me as usually I have a hard time picking out individual notes. On my skin Passion is a sweet gourmand with some stamina. The initial opening is very strong, it takes at least 30 minutes for the better part of the fragrance to make an appearance. Once my nose got used to it, I found Passion enjoyable. But this is a one season perfume in my opinion. Only for those cold, stormy days of Winter. I like Passion. There’s an exotic, curious aspect to the scent. I would be interested in wearing this again.

This is a pretty good release from M.Micallef. Passion is all about 3 notes for me, Orange, Cinnamon, and Caramel. The fragrance seems to open up a little bit femme on me but after about 35 minutes those 3 main notes take over and it becomes a really beautiful fragrance. I think it's a good scent but nothing too groundbreaking. Is 75ml worth $215 to me? No but if it hits a discounter for around $140 then I will snatch it up. Performance was 7 hours on skin projecting well for about 2 hours before becoming a skin scent. Still a good release and I feel is a 3 season scent.

To me, this smells like World Market and Bed Bath & Beyond sitting in a sauna together, sweating it out. This scent trapped me in what felt like a Christmas bazaar horror film. I wish I could smell what other people describe, but on me this was thick and heavy with grannie potpourri. The bottle however, is a stunning piece of artwork.

Men's cologne, chocolate oranges, Christmas spiced toffee, and lemon floor cleaner. It's festive and gourmand but there's a real abrasive, bitter note in the background that smells rather cheap. If you have some leftover pot pourri from last xmas, this would be great to refresh it with.

The notes sounded so promising. This one was a no for me. Too masculine and vintage for my liking.

Christmas spice meets buttercookies and oud. The orange twist definitely ads a splash of passion, but overall I find this scenta bit confusing, I'm not sure what I'm smelling. It's spicy, and gourmand, but lots of oud....buttery caramel. I think the notes oud and caramel are just not my notes. But good quality, definitely unique. For me oud and christms just don't mix somehow.

I have owned this for several years and will never let it go. At first spray I really love the Middle East incense vibe from the oud (which I normally dislike) and cinnamon. It’s not loud or too sweet, just well done. The bottle is a piece of visual art and the scent is as beautiful as the bottle.

I like this one. It’s not at all as challenging as the notes will try to make you think. For some strange and odd reason I get black orchid vibes from this. Coming from the patchouli probably. It’s a very nice one. And M. micaleff if priced quite nicely for a niche brand I find.

Received a carded sample from Frangrance.Net. Well, on me, it is very masculine. I do not feel comfortable wearing this. The oud/cinnamon/patchouli and benzoin combo is strong and covers the sweetness of orange and caramel notes. Sorry, too masculine for me...

Delicious, unapologetic, a bit screeching, in the beginning, but resonates well with the gourmand sweet side of caramelized spices, and a delectable musky sexy finish, truly a once in a while indulgence, and a rather festive mood.

This smells expensive, clearly from a house of quality. I get oud and spicy cinnamon with orange. I get patchouli in the background. Its good, but if I prefer the cinnamon spice of FdB or the balsamic orange of EdM Elixir

This is an excellent release from Micallef and the longevity is outstanding, I'm getting vanilla, Oud, orange, and caramel and somehow this comes together as a gem. Fantastic!

so beautiful ! if you like gourmand ... Scent : 8/10 Longevity : 8/10 Sillage : 8/10 Bottle : 9/10 Quality : 8/10 luxury , beautiful and very delicious
