Despite the name INTENSE Patchouli, my concern with this fragrance was that it would be a much too strong vanilla with a hint of patchouli.
Fortunately, that is not the case. The scent starts off rather herbaceous, a bit too masculine for me. However, the development follows after a few minutes and my wrist smells wonderfully warm. It’s not the fragrance notes that I smell, it’s a warmth. Can you smell warmth? With this scent, I have that feeling.
After an hour, I detect a soft patchouli in a vanilla-sandalwood-lavender bed. And along with it, the surprising little hints of fruits. In my imagination, lemon doesn’t fit at all with the warm fragrance notes, but here it’s a beautiful, subtly perceptible interplay.

once again a fragrance that immediately landed on my wish list...before testing it...
now it has quickly flown off again!

How I wish I could experience this scent as L'Artisan and Chipsy describe it *sigh*
Unfortunately, it is far from that. I only agree on one point:
Batucada is summery...
...it smells like unwashed, sweaty skin at 35°C, with a cheap floral air freshener hanging from the ear and one rubs the skin with mint...nobody does that? yet L'Artisan Parfumeur did: Batucada

this fragrance also gets 100% from me, but for me it has nothing to do with seduction, with panties, or ecstasy!
For me, it is a childish, comforting scent.
In the past, L'Occitane had "Eau de Miel," which was a perfume for mothers and children.
I wore this fragrance during difficult times and sleepless stormy nights. It gave me security and protection.
So is Passionate: it allows me to relax, to let go, and pushes my worries aside. It protects me from the evil, dark, stormy world out there. I can be a child again and trust.
Passionate tells me: everything will be alright...

What does it smell like? I only smell warm honey, honey, and a bit of honey with 1mg of sandalwood.

I am surprised that this wonderfully beautiful scent has not yet been commented on.
For me, it is one of the most beautiful fragrances I know.

Despite its slight fruitiness, it is incredibly...
...velvety
...warm
...cozy.
The sandalwood is enveloped by fruits, which are not sour or zesty but rather fully ripe and aromatic.

Patchouli is the dot on the i. It makes this scent just a touch more sensual.
I can't write more about this fragrance because it is simply beautiful...

When you imagine cutting open a lemon and drinking the juice, your mouth muscles tighten and saliva production is stimulated.
I have a similar reaction when I spray on Dammuso.
Only here, I smell a grapefruit.
I can smell and taste it. Juicy and bitter. This scent is like a mirage in the desert. Somewhere there must be a fresh grapefruit, I can already feel the juice in my mouth... but it’s just a very authentic scent: Dammuso
Unfortunately, most grapefruit scents fade away faster than you can enjoy them. Not this one.
Dammuso lingers and Dammuso also transforms.
From juicy delicious to... juicy sexy...
Cardamom and sandalwood make it softer and rounder. The juiciness remains, but it is only fixed by the other fragrance notes.
That a citrus scent can also be sensual, I experienced for the first time here. I am glad that I discovered this fragrance!
