Passion Dance

Passion Dance, released by Avon in 2003, is a floral fragrance with a strong woody side and citrus support, plus lighter green, fresh and ambery touches. It is a darker, night-leaning floral.

It opens with lemon and grapefruit, giving a bright, sharp citrus, and papaya flower for a soft, tropical floral note. The heart is the centre: black rose, deep and velvety, joined by immortelle, which gives a warm, maple-like sweetness, narcissus for a green, slightly earthy floral tone, and water lily and jasmine. The base is woody and mossy, with vetiver, patchouli, oakmoss, sandalwood, musk and amber.

Most wearers report moderate longevity and a moderate trail. It is voted for autumn and winter and favoured for night-time, which points to evenings out and colder months, for someone who likes floral scents with a woody, chypre-like depth.
