Passion earns its name through sheer density, and Elizabeth Taylor's Passion Gift Set proves it from the top, aldehydes, coriander, gardenia, artemisia, ylang ylang, bergamot and lily of the valley crowding into a sparkling, richly floral opening. Spicy notes, sandalwood, honey, tuberose, patchouli, heliotrope, orris root, cedar, jasmine and rose build an extraordinarily dense floral centre. Incense, civet, leather, oakmoss, sandalwood, musk, cedar, vanilla and coconut close the base dark, animalic and unmistakably vintage. Civet in the base is a rare inclusion in a modern release, a nod to the maximalist, animalic perfumery Passion first launched into decades ago. Passion Gift Set is a floral woody fragrance from Elizabeth Taylor, suited to evening wear and special occasions. Elizabeth Taylor built an unapologetically maximalist fragrance that still holds up.
