Summer South Sea Scent - Passion Fruit I Eat Elsewhere
Passion Fruit is one of a staggering 41 fragrances from the "Museum Collection." Additionally, various concentrations are available: EdT and EdP Concentrée. This makes sniffing around quite challenging. Since I absolutely love eating Passion Fruit (in German, Maracuja/Passionsfrucht), I decided to try it with this scent.
All perfumes from the Museum series are monothematic scents: they smell exclusively of what is stated on the packaging. At least, that's how it should be. In this case: Maracuja. There is a reason for this. Only later did I find out that the fragrances of the Museum Collection are also intended for layering. The inscription on the packaging "Layer Your Fragrance" makes this clear. I am not a fan of layering at all: I have never done it and probably won’t start now. I love to enjoy the solo scent.
Passion Fruit opens with a sweet floral note. I suspect it’s hawthorn, which has a strong floral scent and smells a bit gamey for a few seconds. In the background, the green apple is supposed to bring some freshness to the scent progression, but it doesn’t quite succeed. The fragrance remains more floral than fruity (I would have expected more fruity notes). Passion Fruit doesn’t taste that floral, at least. The South Sea feeling of this tropical fruit is, however, clearly recognizable. Maracuja or not, it is a summery feel-good scent: sensual, sweetly seductive, airier and lighter than other tropical fragrances.
The scent is somewhat unisex, with a stronger tendency towards the feminine. A note about the beautiful bottle: it has no cap but a kind of stopper that prevents the sprayer from being pressed down.
