Elizabeth Taylor Passion Eau de Cologne 118ml is the actress's iconic debut fragrance, launched in 1987 — widely considered the first major celebrity fragrance and one of the defining oriental compositions of late-1980s perfumery. A bright opening of aldehydes, coriander, gardenia, artemisia, ylang-ylang, bergamot and lily-of-the-valley leads into a spiced floral heart of tuberose, honey, patchouli, heliotrope, orris, cedar, jasmine and rose, on a rich base of incense, civet, leather, oakmoss, sandalwood, musk, cedar, vanilla and coconut.

Who it's for
Passion suits women drawn to vintage-style, full-bodied oriental perfumery — those who appreciate confident, slightly statement-making fragrances of the late 1980s. The composition is at its best in autumn and winter, ideal for evening wear, formal occasions and any context where a bold, classical signature feels appropriate. Anyone who enjoys Yves Saint Laurent Opium or Estée Lauder Cinnabar will recognise the territory.
How to wear it
Hold the bottle around 15 cm from the skin and spray onto pulse points — wrists, neck, and behind the ears. Apply to clean, moisturised skin straight after a shower for the longest wear. Passion is potent: one or two sprays usually balance well; over-application can quickly become overwhelming.
