The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Passion by Goutal was launched in 1983 and created by Annick Goutal. This fragrance opens with a bright burst of tuberose and tomato leaf, which immediately sets it apart from traditional florals. The heart notes of ylang-ylang and jasmine add a lush sweetness that is balanced by the earthy tones of patchouli and oakmoss in the base. Annick Goutal's signature blend of white floral and green accords gives Passion a fresh, vivid quality that feels both modern and lasting.

How to wear it

Apply Passion sparingly to let its layers unfold gradually. The green and white floral notes are bright and can be overpowering if used too heavily. It's best worn during warmer months when the combination of fresh florals and earthy notes feels most fitting.
