Passion

What a pleasant surprise for this drug store /celeb cheapie . It's on for £15 /100ml at Savers UK. I was surprised they are still don't testers as the other stores are not. But I went in for some essentials and there were 3 Micheal Buble perfumes on the counter for special offer. I am completely indifferent to his music as it's not my thing at all, and honestly it's a brand I would have never gone out of my way to try. But , I will try anything that's there for the sniffing. Had a modest spray on wrists , with some going on my winter coat. I CAN STILL SME IT ON THE COAT 7 days later!! Amazing longevity as a lot of the fumes on savers counter are weak/cheap offerings (even if they smell good they rarely last) .. But this one , wow, really pleasant surprise indeed!! It's a warm floral gourmand, not too sweet . Would suit old and young . I'm 43 and love it. Safe blind buy for younger peeps too who like sweet scents. I can detect the violets , heliotrope, licorice and vanilla. Man that heliotrope is MEGA long lasting on clothes. It's not too sexy or too diabetic sugar coma. The right balance of sweet and floral powder for me. I love it and can see me wearing it a lot. Funny enough I just got some red satin "sports luxe" Adidas trainers the same day and this bottle and smell matches the mood. Not too dressed up , comfy /everyday but with a luxury happy twist. It's a happy flirty smell. I think those who like Lolita lempicka, angel muse , la nuit de tresor ect will like this. I knew it reminded me of something I'd tested before, yes , as soon as I checked.on here... The armarni in love with you ... Yep. Similar. Not an exact clone. I am buying this when I do my next trip to town this weekend. Absolutely worth the £15 all day long. I'm blown away at the quality for a celeb cheapie, it's lasting strength is amazing. Ok I know it's aroma-chem'dd to the hilt but you get what you pay for. There's nothing headache inducing to me (could be if over sprayed) . Very good value , I mean the designer brands all use the same aromachem mixes anyway and pretend it's this n that flower and charge through the nose for it . Looking forward to trying the other offerings in his range as I'm so surprised how good this is. Well done Micheal (or whoever the perfume is ), too much scrolling to check on this new style page when on a phone!)

I tried this out today. I went out especially to see how this would be for me. I detect red berries, vanilla and woods. (Even though berries and vanilla aren't mentioned above.) The middle stage on me is identical to Paco Rabanne's Black XS (my bottle is 2010). Passion has the same berry warmth to it as Black XS. After about 5 hours it turns sweet and flowery and its at this stage I can detect the licorice and it becomes slightly powdery. During the initial and middle stage I had a distant perfume memory come to mind and it's Avon's Christian Lacoix's Rouge from the 90's. But Passion is smoother and 10 x better. I feel it has a DNA link to By Invitation. Side by side its not a surprise they have come from the same scent brand. If you love the above three perfumes mentioned I think you will very much appreciate Passion. Peony Noir is my favourite but this latest creation is lovely too and I really love it's Black XS stage and sweet powdery base on me. EDIT: A few more hours have gone by and I keep getting wafts of Passion. It keeps morphing. Its so interesting. Im going back to get a bottle. Its lovely. PPS Michael Buble is one of my all time favourites. I listened to hardly anyone else for years and years but I am also particular about perfume. Im loving the perfume based on its own merits. Love it.

This is gorgeous! 😍 brilliant value for money, the whole collection is great, this one is my fave I recommend getting the gift set of this if you can the body lotion boosts the longevity and silliage of this perfume on me it's opens very spicy buy the dry down is sweet spicy honestly I can't stop smelling it! The only fragrance that comes to mind that it could be similar to is black Xs for her by Paco rabbane 100% value for money!

The notes are as follows, from HSN's website: Top: Mandarin, Kumquat, Blackcurrant Mid: Jasmine, Violet, Heliotrope, Toffee apple, Licorice Base: Patchouli, Sandalwood, Vanilla This was a blind buy and on me, I definitely got the mandarin and black currant at the top. I'm surprised there is no spiced plum in this because it smells like it, similar to the beginning of Boyfriend, although they do not smell similar otherwise. Not long after that, I get a good bit of licorice, a little jasmine and patchouli, followed by some vanilla joining with the licorice accord, giving it some sweetness. It has some powder from the heliotrope and violets, but I don't think I smell either of those in the perfume. I don't particularly care for patchouli, but it's fine in this because it mixes so well with the other notes, it doesn't stand out strong by itself. It also doesn't smell like most of the Lolita Lempicka's I've tried even though the licorice/vanilla/violet notes are in it. It has great longevity and moderate sillage and leans to the feminine side. This is a full-bodied fragrance and heavy - a little dark, mysterious and sensual. I really like this one. It's the next day and I can still smell this on my arm and my jacket. It has become a sweet-spicy powder on the skin and is just beautiful. It has become a love for me.

I don’t buy celebrity perfumes. However, I had a worker I managed and each time she came to see me I had to ask what fragrance she was wearing. She told me it was the Michael Buble By Invitation. Now I’d never run out to buy it, but one day she bought me in a gift to my office. Yes, it was a 100ml bottle of her favorite perfume. Long story short is I now have all of the Michael Buble scents to wear as everyday fragrances, so I can keep all my good perfumes as long as possible (as I’ve spent a veritable fortune on them and want them to last). Bonus being that every bottle has been a gift for my birthday or other occasions. Good value for money but again, I’d never go out and buy any other celebrity fragrances myself. Anyway, this perfume, Passion. It’s sweet, spicy and a little powdery. Thankfully I am unable to smell violet, as I have a visceral reaction to it if I can smell it - awful olfactory experience, just disgusting to my senses. So this is nice, I can wear it to work, inoffensive, not long lasting (on me) and not too loud. It dries down to a soapy smell, not a horrible one mind you. Great price point for those who want to buy and just for the record, I really don’t like Michael Buble’s music at all.
