Passion for Men

Passion for Men is a warm, woody-floral scent from Elizabeth Taylor, launched in 1989. Wood and flowers lead in equal measure, with a sweet, ambery warmth and a bright citrus edge running through it.

It opens with lemon, orange and bergamot, softened by lavender and the sharp green snap of galbanum. The heart turns spicy and full: cinnamon and nutmeg add warmth, carnation and jasmine bring a classic floral body, and cedar and balsam fir give a resinous, slightly piney depth. As it settles, vanilla, tonka bean and amber make the base sweet and round, while vetiver and oakmoss keep a dry, earthy, old-school grip underneath.

People mostly describe its longevity as moderate to long lasting, with a moderate trail that some find strong. It is voted chiefly for winter and autumn and leans towards evening wear. That points to a cold-weather fragrance for dinners and nights out, suited to someone who enjoys a traditional, spicy masculine style.
