I picked it up in a store for $15 and thought it was for daily use. The bottle is ugly and the atomizer is plastic, but the scent convinced me. It smells like the 80s, strong, with lots of sandalwood and vanilla. It reminds me of Cartier’s Santos, but more delicate and vanilla-forward; in the end, the trail is the same as the Santos. I recommend it.
This perfume has a spicy and warm opening, like all orientals. The note I perceive most is cinnamon, even more than the florals or fruits. The bottle isn’t one of my favorites, nor is the atomizer, but the essence itself is very good. For those who like this type of perfume, and especially with that characteristic cinnamon scent, it’s a good option, plus the price is quite comfortable. Recommended for night.
For those looking for a good, non-mass-market perfume, this is the option. Pleasant and timeless aroma, ideal for formal night occasions. It has an excellent trail and great sillage. The price is accessible, although it smells like a high-end fragrance. I think it was a great acquisition and a masterstroke by the diva Elizabeth Taylor.
For those looking for a good, non-mass-market perfume, this is the option. Very pleasant and timeless aroma, I recommend it for formal occasions, preferably at night. It has an excellent trail and great sillage. The price is very accessible, although its aroma suggests it’s a high-end fragrance. I think it was a great acquisition, a masterstroke by the diva Elizabeth Taylor R.I.P.
I like the bottle; it seems like the notion they had in the 50s about the future, futuristic as they saw it then, with comics and superheroes, but in a serious way…
Passion for Men is a proper oriental, very elegant and versatile. The vanilla at the start is very discreet, nothing invasive, and as it dries down, the woods and especially the lavender emerge. Suddenly, it smells a bit “fresher,” taking the word with tongs, like Drakkar Noir. It seems to have had better times regarding longevity and projection. Now the projection is discreet and the longevity is above average. For this and its low price, I see it as ideal for daily wear or as a battle perfume, without losing elegance. The trail it leaves is good, but not unforgettable. Rating: 7/10
When the Liz perfume line was born, the diva dipped her hand into every step. PASSION FOR MEN isn’t a cheerful scent, nor do I think she wanted it to be. In 1989, several of her closest friends had passed away (James Dean, Montgomery Clift, Rock Hudson), and her life had gone through a hell of health issues, addictions, and toxic relationships. She was no longer a Hollywood star and had retreated into TV roles with little significance. The bottle, within its price range, is a complex mix of Art Deco skyscrapers and Fritz Lang’s Metropolis posters. It plays with the violet of her eyes for the box and the lugubrious black for the bottle. It smells mysterious and deep, with very original tones for today. It’s a scent I absolutely love and it’s quite complex. It’s not citrus, floral, fruity, spicy, or woody, yet it reminds me of all of them at once. The result is a dense, balsamic scent with a funeral and lethargic touch. There are brushstrokes of violet citrus, mortuary flowers, embalming spices, and sepulchral woods. If you’ve read my other reviews, you know that all things gothic and somber fascinate me. Where there is a beautiful neoromantic cemetery on an autumnal sunset…! I totally identify with PASSION FOR MEN. The only downside is that it doesn’t last long and its trail is low. It’s cheap, but I wouldn’t mind paying more if it were more potent. With more quantity, I get better results. It reminds me of a prominent cacao note in Jean Paul Gaultier’s Kokorico, but a darker, more reserved cacao, like the one Mankiewicz would serve in the Queen of the Nile’s funeral chamber. Liz, you distilled kindness and gave me maternal tranquility every time I saw you. You were a good person and a great friend, even in the worst moments. Wherever you are, Liz, I love you.
Finally got my hands on it today—finding this in Argentina is nearly impossible. It’s a well-crafted oriental that opens with a prominent cinnamon note, blended with fruits and florals. As it develops, the vanilla emerges, and far from being synthetic, it’s remarkably refined; it reminds me a lot of the balsamic vanilla in Opium pour homme. Verdict: a great blind buy. If you can snag it at a good price, it’s definitely worth adding to your collection.
I got it today; in Argentina it’s impossible to find. It’s a manual oriental that opens with cinnamon, fruity notes, and flowers. In the middle and final phases, vanilla appears, very correct, nothing synthetic; it reminds me of Opium pour homme with that balsamic vanilla. Conclusion: a good blind buy. If you find it at a good price, it’s worth having it in your collection.
When I tested it this afternoon thanks to a sample from Bofifa, I expected something outdated, but I was surprised with a magnificent vintage clove oriental. The opening is citrusy and aromatic but doesn’t last long; then clove, cinnamon, and vanilla come in, giving way to a sweet, resinous, and spicy scent. The semi-powdery clove with a vintage air is precious. The woody base with lavender gives it a beautiful combination. In the dry down, the woody base with a lavender tone takes center stage. It’s a complex but light and wearable oriental, ideal for fresh and mild weather, nightwear but usable during the day due to its lightness. Performance is moderate but acceptable for the price. I don’t recommend buying blind because it has an 80s imprint; it’s for those who like old-school orientals. P.S.: Sometimes it reminds me of Tabu, but more restrained.
Tested this afternoon thanks to a sample from my friend Bofifa. I expected something outdated, but surprise: it’s a vintage oriental with clove, magnificent and at a good price. It opens citrusy and aromatic, but lasts a bit short at first. Then the clove, cinnamon, and vanilla kick in, creating something sweet, resinous, and spicy. The semi-powdery clove is gorgeous. The woody base with lavender holds it up, and as it dries, that lavender tone stands out. It’s complex but light, very wearable today, even if it’s not fresh. The performance is moderate but acceptable for the price. Ideal for fresh or mild weather and at night, but due to its lightness, it also works during the day. A beautiful vintage-school oriental with vintage clove. I wouldn’t recommend it blindly if you don’t like that style, but for lovers of the classics, it’s a hit. P.S.: Sometimes it reminds me of Tabu, but more moderate.
The opening is chaotic and can be scary at first, but then it clears up: lots of CK Obsession-style cinnamon, herbal lavender, galbanum, vanilla, and a brief citrus touch. It’s serious, formal, and romantic. Then the lavender and vanilla take control, reminiscent of Caron’s Pour un Homme. Afterwards, a sublime, powdery rose takes command while the rest of the notes dance around it. This phase is long and dynamic: the rose stands out, but sometimes cinnamon, vanilla, or lavender takes the lead. After hours, the vanilla is reinforced with benzoin, and a sweet sandalwood mixed with minted patchouli appears that lasts a long time. On me, it lasts over 12 hours with good projection for the first 6 hours. The trail is moderate, just what it needs. With more trail, it could be annoying. It’s old-school but doesn’t smell outdated. For mature people who know how to enjoy the beautiful. My review is of a 1995 bottle.
Chaotic opening that can scare people if you get too close to the atomizer, but it clears up and lets you notice cinnamon (in the style of Obsession), bitter lavender, galbanum, vanilla, and briefly citrus. It’s serious, formal, and romantic. Then lavender and vanilla take over, reminiscent of Pour un Homme by Caron. Later, a sublime, powdery clove takes command, with cinnamon, vanilla, and lavender dancing. After hours, the vanilla tone holds with benzoin and a sweet sandalwood mixed with minty patchouli. Longevity is over 12 hours with good initial projection. Moderate sillage, perfect. It’s old school but doesn’t smell anachronistic. For a mature audience that enjoys beautiful things. My review is from a 1995 bottle.
One of the worst perfumes I’ve ever had. I read good reviews and bought it blind, a huge mistake. It smells like an explosive chaos at first and then just like a cheap hotel carpet air freshener. It’s for very old people, it doesn’t fit young folks.
You need experience with old-school aromas to appreciate this perfume; otherwise, you won’t get it. I was curious about this 80s fragrance sent to me by Darkbeat. It’s a pleasant proposal that blends Fougère, Chypre, and Oriental. It’s sweet without being excessive, ending oriental and comfortable while remaining elegant. It’s not a powerhouse, but with jasmine and lavender, it can look great on a bold woman. It’s balanced and linear, with subtle spices and vanilla at the end. I don’t think it’s that outdated; it’s suitable for people 25+ for a classic aura. The fact that it survived years with that packaging speaks to its quality.
It’s a delight, one of my favorites, and I want to own several more.
I was pleasantly surprised. I thought the men’s version would be an atomic bomb with more animalic notes and spices than the women’s version, but I was wrong. The men’s fragrance plays differently: it opens with sweet lavender, bergamot, and acidic lime, then settles into cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and a touch of green fir. The base is a delight with woody vanilla, resinous, and sensual. It’s closer to the men’s Obsession but much calmer. I loved it, hands down.
This lotion is better than Croxxato Man and you save 130 euros.
Depending on how much you apply it and compared to what I usually wear, it has low longevity and a soft sillage on my skin, but I love putting it on when I want to smell like cloves around me. This Elizabeth Taylor cologne remains timeless through the years. Cheers.
Just bought it and spent half an hour sniffing it; it has a sweet, sexy scent that makes you want to sigh. It follows the same path as Obsession: depending on how you apply it, whether close or far away, the smell changes; up close it’s citrusy, from a distance it becomes floral. I don’t know the longevity yet, it’s just my first impression, but if a woman wanted to wear it, there’s no problem, it feels unisex. It dries down beautifully. Honestly, I didn’t expect much from a blind buy, but I was surprised.
Exquisite fragrance, an aroma worth having, addictive, and in my opinion, very masculine despite the sweet undertone.
Totally recommended perfume. The variety of its notes makes it interesting. The cinnamon feels very natural; despite being sweet/spicy, it’s totally versatile (except for days of intense heat). I use it at the office and it makes me feel great. Lasts 6 to 8 hours on skin with a 2-meter trail and moderate projection. It’s a perfume that could be worth five times more and is absolutely worth the price.
I met that fragrance more than 20 years ago… I remembered it… I bought it about 6 years ago… but I no longer perceive it the same way…
An old-school perfume, a classic that smells distinguished; I like it. It doesn’t last long these days, I imagine due to reformulations, but it’s still pleasant. I got it for $15 in my country, and even though I don’t think I’ve used it much, it’s good to have in the collection to let its aroma transport me to scenes from the past. The scent is like those from its era, very similar to Oscar de la Renta Pour Homme, Azaro, and Comitiva, where lavender, patchouli, and oakmoss predominate.
This perfume is a hidden beast; it’s not for every man. It smells spicy, sweet, peppery, talcum-powdery, earthy, and soapy. I don’t think it’s for very trendy people unless you have a lot of personality and confidence to wear this great retro perfume. I’m 20 and honestly, I love it; it’s for those who want to smell different and use something less commercial than current fragrances. On cold and mild days, it’s amazing; I’m happy to have it in my collection. I don’t use it much, but when I do, it’s an olfactory delight. It lasts 6-8 hours with decent projection on my skin. Overall, I give it an 8/10.
Literally, it smells like the aromatic representation of masculine purple—a bit weird and totally subjective. Vintage aroma, old school, not suitable for young guys trying to impress girls at the disco. Good performance and a great scent. I give it an 8/10.
Passion for Men transports you straight to the 80s with that masculine, serious, and characterful stamp that commanded presence. It reminds me of my dad. For those who appreciate old-school aromas, it’s a time-travel experience with elegance. Its olfactory pyramid creates a woody, oriental, and spicy scent with herbal touches, slightly sweet, warm, and masculine—perfect for fall and winter. In its current reformulation, it’s more wearable than the vintage versions but keeps that intense essence that isn’t for everyone. It’s ideal for men over 45 who appreciate classic elegance and want to project maturity with a characterful, traditional perfume. Longevity is good, around 6 to 7 hours, with a moderate trail that doesn’t overwhelm but carries a distinguished aura. I recommend it if you’re looking for a perfume with history, nostalgia, and an aroma that reflects personality and masculine presence. I really like it.
It’s a complex aroma that reminded me of Avon’s Mesmerize. Up close, it smells bitter and dry, but from a distance, it’s vanilla, cinnamon, and benzoin. When you first spray it, it smells quite boozy, like wine, and as it dries down, it becomes warm and vanilla-like, with a vibe that’s both classic and futuristic. I feel like it’s the predecessor to some 90s oriental scents; it brings to mind A*Men by Mugler, Opium Pour Homme, and a bit of Le Male. One of the best orientals I’ve ever smelled; I’ll keep buying it.
I only bought the bottle because of the price. I agree it smells vintage; the clove and geranium give it that ‘dad or grandpa’ scent. However, it has good projection, lasts quite a while on skin and clothes, and I think for men over 30, it’s totally usable in fall and winter.
It smells great and the ingredient blend is top-notch, very pleasant. I’d say it’s unisex because it doesn’t overwhelm, leave a giant trail, or last forever, but since it’s cheap and well-made, it’s worth it even if you need to reapply. To me, it feels very current, even though it’s been on the market for years.
