well, what can I say - I don't know the old original scent. Therefore, I can only follow my amateur nose....
First, I smelled the fragrance on a colleague. Mhm, it just appealed to me. And the scent lasted a long time ... a whole workday that I spent with my colleague. Again and again, it wafted into my nose and I knew....I have to have it.
Somehow it reminded me of "green love" by Nerval, a musk fragrance, but not sweet. Although musk is not listed among the ingredients!?! My nose seems to be deceiving me, but the sensation that this scent leaves is sensual, pleasant, without being intrusive or provocatively erotic.
It is not a sweet fragrance, but also not too harsh, even the patchouli does not stand out, but rounds it off pleasantly.
It’s best to test...and enjoy - or discard the fragrance. As it always is, everyone perceives a scent quite differently.

I am a perfume-loving amateur, female...
I received the scent - whose bottle looks different than in the photos below - from my mother, born in 1936, as a gift from my father before their engagement. So, the scent is actually quite old. But when my mom handed it to me... with the words, "I don't like perfume," I was blown away when testing it. It reminded me of Fendi Donna, only much, much stronger.
It's a perfume, not an eau de parfum. The bandit is already around the corner, do you want to arrest him? No, he arrests you, captivates you, you become defenseless. Are these just sentimental associations related to my parents' love story?
Or has age changed the scent? We all get older! Can one still judge this objectively?
In any case, I like it, a heavy, quirky scent for confident women. A fragrance more suited for the cooler seasons, I think.

I am very curious about other opinions and experiences from those who know much, much better.

I received the EDT as a freebie with an order and initially put it away sealed in a drawer. Until now, I had been disappointed with the fragrance samples from Galerie Noemie - especially because they are hardly detectable after 10 minutes. Well, maybe I'm exaggerating.
But curious due to Florblanca's comment, I finally opened the Passion Rouge. And lo and behold, I was taken with it. Not at first sniff, but now after 3 days of wearing it, the scent reveals itself to be very pleasant.
And varied. Apparently, every nose is different, or every skin. I'll try to describe it naively:
I associate the beginning with red currants and other red fruits, which, however, do not come across as overly sweet, but rather captured in creamy rice pudding. Then something comes that reminds me of pepper and flowers, then it becomes subtly woody (could that be ginger?) and increasingly unfolds musky notes that envelop me until the evening. And it also gets a bit smoky in the background. So really a journey through different scent experiences.
I keep having to sniff my wrist and forearm; the scent doesn't let me go, a surprise.
I must, however, mention that I spray 3 times on each forearm, from the wrist to the middle. Because that is the big downside of this fragrance for me: the longevity is quite poor, unfortunately! And therefore, I fear the bottle will be empty quickly.
Postscript after a month. Okay, it’s Advent season, but the longer I have the scent, the more addicted I become... there’s something about this fragrance.

to my nose, it smells just like the Comme des Garcon 2 in the other bottles as well.
I find the scent hard to grasp, and since I am also a "newbie" here, I don't trust myself to do so.
On one hand, it is a fresh scent, but also herbal, woody....I really like it and I think it doesn't smell like an everyday perfume, and I appreciate that it smells different on every skin.
I first smelled it on a colleague, and it smelled much more citrusy than it does on me.
