Avada Kedavra in a Bottle

My girlfriend had already warned me, and she was definitely right: The Passion is truly a poorly conceived fragrance that can be really frightening due to its squeaky and synthetic sweetness. A death curse, so to speak, in a bottle. To my great surprise, the scent lasts on my skin for more than 12 hours, although it's only detectable close to the skin. The sillage, on the other hand, is very subtle.

Unfortunately, I can't really provide much in terms of top, heart, or base notes, as I either don't recognize many aromas from the fragrance pyramid or they barely emerge due to the synthetic nature. As mentioned, the smell is very synthetic but also sweet, fruity, spicy, and floral. I sniff out artificial fruits, blackcurrants, vanillin, soap, iris, hyacinths, fabric softener, as well as violets.

My darling is an absolute Potterhead, and that's the only reason she has the Passion in her collection - now just as a pure decorative object.

Passionate... is different

How does one define Passion in the magical world of the recently controversial J.K. Rowling? Floral, of course, as it is a women's fragrance, with a certain fruitiness and - here it comes - something hard to define, but green. This green has a grassy quality, giving it something special, but it's difficult to pin down. The scent cocktail is slightly sweet, but also consistently quite synthetic. Apparently, magical aromas from the lab are preferred over magical nature.
As it develops, this green becomes more pronounced at the expense of the floral notes. Not a bad scent per se, but one that leaves me somewhat perplexed. I can't identify the notes, as there is too much artificiality and too little nature at play.

Women, especially those under 40, are likely to enjoy wearing it in everyday life and during leisure time. It is suitable for that, but for occasions, it is neither special enough nor convincing due to high-quality ingredients.
Additionally, Passion is quite ephemeral. The sillage is solid, but only lasts for 1 hour (ouch), and after a total of 5 hours, the scent is only perceptible up close. Relatively affordable price, but there should be a bit more to it.

The bottle is also the highlight here, just like with the other women's fragrance from the brand, "Courage | Harry Potter." With a lot of love, they have modeled the bottle after an advertisement from the 6th movie. However, the craftsmanship with a wobbly plastic cap and cheaply glued ribbon is weak.

Pink like Mrs. Umbridge

Although Mrs. Umbridge is not a positive character, the fragrance is positive. It is aimed more at a younger audience, as it is not only pink but also smells that way. The bottle completely matches the one from the film, where Dumbledore and Harry are standing in the subway in front of a poster. So it’s really well done.

Eloise Midgen. Expectation vs. Reality or why it’s actually unnecessary.

Eloise Midgeon. Eloise Midgen? All the same. Not even a consistent name could be given to her throughout the book series. In Russian, by the way, she is called Eloisa. She was certainly the one with the severe acne. The one Ron didn’t want to go to the Yule Ball with, even though she was supposed to be sweet and pleasant company, according to others at least.
You can only attend the Yule Ball starting in fourth grade, unless someone from the Fourth or Fifth invites a younger person.
As a fourth grader and probably at the age of 15, which is how old Tshajbukoshka would have been in fourth grade at Hogwarts, she would have probably liked ‘Passion’.
But after all this time? - Get out of here with that stuff.
Eloise Midgeon accidentally hexed her nose off while trying to get rid of her acne. The acne was apparently made up just like her role by a very loving actress.
And for what?
To be briefly seen in the background and mentioned with a nasty implication regarding her appearance.
Not inviting girls or generally people to prestigious events because of skin issues seems almost prepubescent, and it is. And here we are again with ‘Passion’, this time even quite directly. The transition from baby shampoo to independence, to one’s own perfume. Yes: baby shampoo - or cream. There’s a scent in the background that is reminiscent of one of those baby care lines with light blue packaging (there are many, we know).
If you want aquatic, you have to jump into the Great Lake yourself, which isn’t even a problem for Tshajbukoshka, because they don’t like aquatic scents in the Tshajbu household anyway. It smells sweet. Sickly sweet, but somehow without concept, without transformation. Without magic, without passion. Even the cats on TikTok that once danced to ‘More passion, more energy, more footwork’ understood the principle that seems to have not reached the self-proclaimed ‘parfum lovers’, maybe they escaped the marketing department of Zara and are now playing the mischief-makers here, just without the solemn swearing. Here, you can only celebrate the bottle and the packaging.
By the way (addendum): The bottle looks SUSPICIOUSLY like the one from a scene in the first few minutes of ‘Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince’, when Albus Dumbledore stands in front of an advertisement for the Muggle perfume ‘Magic Divine’. At least someone did their homework on the bottle design, but unfortunately only there.
So one can be disappointed by the rest, by Ron, who behaves like a superficial jerk, by Eloise Midgen and her acne of doom, because she wasn’t allowed to pay anyone back for it - and by whatever has been produced here. Maybe Ron would have given Lavender ‘Passion’ for Valentine’s Day, then at least there would be a legitimizing reference. Maybe Umbridge would have used it as a room fragrance. Maybe.
Not only maybe are the OG Potterheads no longer 14, 15, or eleven years old. They might want to get empty bottles and fill them with something pleasant (or design both themselves or directly look for something where BOTH is true). Or imitate Eloise Midgen and accidentally hex their noses off while performing ‘Passions’.
Tshajbukoshka is disappointed. So deeply disappointed. Maybe it could be read between the lines, maybe it needed to be explicitly mentioned again. This stuff is shallow and light and yet so unpleasant that one wouldn’t want to endure it permanently. It annoys with its undefinable, seemingly vomited-up flower water from a drunken mountain troll and this unpleasant, ostentatiously sweet scent.
Something new has been thrown onto the market and of course, the target audience, which has already purchased waffle irons, cooking spoons, keychains, hair ties, and all other practical everyday items - to which Tshajbukoshka also counts a huge Hogwarts castle made from famous building blocks - that can be acquired under the license of the ‘Wizarding World’, JKR’s in-house brand, immediately let their credit cards burn, only to plummet to the ground like a feather (or literally any other object and person) that Neville levitated into the air and then forgot for a moment.
Sorry Neville, we actually love you. But we do not love ‘Passion’. Then we’d rather take Eloise Midgen, of whom we know hardly anything and who didn’t even appear in the film credits, let alone as an actress in this role, to the next party or straight to the honeymoon.
