Pretty! Very nice quality for the price. I do really like it a lot but it’s sister “Rare Tiffany” is soooooooo amazingly beautiful, it may cloud my take on this one. Good projection for the first hour after that a small scent bubble another 3-4 hours to an intimate skin scent another 2 hours or so. Stays on fabric at least a couple days or till laundered. This is a very safe blind buy and great for any age range 12-99 lol. Equally great for any occasion. Office to formal events, best said you can dress it up or dress it down. It’s going to work for any occasion. I think this is best suited for Spring and Summer but would work for Fall pretty well too. I don’t think it wears great for very cold days in the winter but you could punch it up with a good vanilla or really overspray ensuring to hit clothing, hair, and it should come through nicely. It’s not necessarily a very light scent, nor does it have solar or tropical notes often associated with Summer and Spring, but it lacks warmth and perhaps density usually expected during the really cold days. However it’s both generic enough and so inexpensive that you could top it off 2-3 hours making any lack in performance not a problem. The notes suggest a fruity floral perfume but I don’t get that. In fact I don’t get any orange/citrus at all. This is very much a floral perfume. The orange blossom does come through a tad more than any other but it’s still very much a mixed white floral bouquet. Vanilla is there but very much in the background. Just enough to add some sweetness and grounds the fragrance. If it hadn’t been listed I would have had trouble identifying a vanilla note. Actually I layered with a vanilla centric scent and then was able to appreciate the vanilla in Rare Passion. The presentation is very nice. The bottle sits in a raised platform inside a very pretty square box. The bottle is even prettier with an inlay of a marbled “gem stone” set blow gold metal type of filigree. Does remind me of a piece of jewelry. The bottle is quite weighty. The cap is a nice gold and appears to be metal. It has nice heft. All of it from box, to bottle it’s very expensive looking. I would expect to pay more than twice the amount for the bottle alone. Would make it a very impressive gift and looks beautiful on the vanity. I probably will purchase again and do recommend it to anyone. Well it’s definitely a feminine scent so wouldn’t purchase for a man. The only reason I say “probably” would purchase again is because I’m sooooo blown away with this one’s sister perfume “Rare Tiffany”. However that’s due only to preference. I just particularly love that one as it’s a top 5 in my entire (250?). I certainly rate this one fairly high too. Not near top 10-15 but it’s up there. Many people rave about this perfume and I’ve gotten compliments when I have worn it. Anyway if I sound less than enthusiastic, please take this info into consideration. I’m sure you or anyone else will really like this scent and as such it’s absolutely deserving of 5 stars.

This is a surprising GEM! It is unique and beautiful. It is darker than the notes would suggest, IMO. The top notes are orange and rose, but they're so beautifully blended, you don't pick them out individually. Then, it warms up in the dry down. Don't be afraid of the "woody notes" mentioned. They aren't prominent, but make the fragrance a little denser. It has good sillage and is long lasting. Feminine for sure. I hope to always have this in my collection.
