Passion Latine ID Parfums 2018

I received a bottle of this as a gift from my late mother-in-law. She was a very elegant woman who enjoyed cosmetics and perfumes, so she often used to give me perfumes for birthdays and other occasions. I must say this one was the most right for me as if I had chosen it myself. I often wear it in winter because it’s so warm and sunny.

It’s comforting, cheerful, spicy, and confident. It feels in my nostrils like the sun on my skin: warm, delightful, slightly tangy. I have to be in the right mood to pull it off, but when I do, I always enjoy it very much and it puts an extra pep in my step.

When I first looked at the notes, coffee and ginger were an “aha” moment, because I felt them quite distinctly, but I was surprised that there was no amber in this. I was sure it was an amber fragrance – maybe sandalwood and Tonka beans created this illusion.

It radiates moderately but stays on my skin until the evening. On the hair, I can still smell it the next day. It’s one of my favorite comfort scents, but sometimes it can be too cheerful and loud – and it’s more about my mood and my ability to handle its energy, than temperature outside.
