I picked it up in a shop for 15 dollars and thought it was for daily use. The bottle is ugly and the atomiser is plastic, but the scent convinced me. It smells like the eighties, strong, with lots of sandalwood and vanilla. It reminds me of Cartier’s Santos, but more delicate and vanilla-scented; 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 is not one of my favourites, nor is the atomiser, but the essence itself is very good. For those who like this type of perfume, and especially with that characteristic cinnamon scent, it is a good option, plus the price is quite comfortable. Recommended for the evening.
For those seeking 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 by its aroma it appears to be a costly fragrance. I believe it was a great acquisition and a masterstroke for the diva Elizabeth Taylor R.I.P.

I like the bottle; it seems to me 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 correct 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 more ‘fresh’, taking the word with tongs, like Drakkar Noir. It seems it had better times regarding longevity and projection. Now the projection is discreet and the longevity is above average. For this reason and its low price, I see it as ideal for everyday wear or as a battle perfume, without losing elegance. The trail it leaves is good, but not unerasable. Note: 7/10
Since the Liz perfume line was born, the diva reached into every aspect. PASSION FOR MEN is not a cheerful scent, nor do I think she would have wanted it to be. In 1989, several of her closest friends had passed away (James Dean, Montgomery Clift, Rock Hudson), and her life had endured a hell of health issues, addictions, and toxic relationships. She was no longer a Hollywood star, having retreated to insignificant TV roles. The bottle, within its price range, is a complex blend 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 is a scent I absolutely love and quite complex. It is not citrus, floral, fruity, spicy, or woody, yet it recalls all of them simultaneously. The result is a dense, balsamic scent with a funereal and lethargic touch. There are brushstrokes of violet citrus, funeral flowers, embalming spices, and sepulchral woods. If you have read my other reviews, you know that all things gothic and sombre fascinate me. Where there is a beautiful neoromantic cemetery on an autumnal sunset…! I identify completely with PASSION FOR MEN. The only downside is that it doesn’t last long and its trail is low. It is cheap, but I wouldn’t mind paying more if it were more potent. With more quantity, I achieve better results. It reminds me of a strong note of cacao very present 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.
I managed to get it today; finding it in Argentina is almost impossible. It’s a classic oriental that opens with a well-defined cinnamon note, blended with fruits and florals. As it develops, the vanilla emerges and, far from being synthetic, it’s very refined; it reminds me strongly of the balsamic vanilla in Opium pour homme. Verdict: a good blind buy; if you catch it at a good price, it’s 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, the 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 in your collection.
When I tested it this afternoon thanks to a sample from Bofifa, I expected something out of date, but I was surprised with a magnificent vintage oriental clove scent. The opening is citrusy and aromatic, but it doesn’t last long; then the clove, cinnamon, and vanilla come in, giving way to a sweet, resinous, and spiced aroma. The semi-powdery clove with a vintage air is lovely. The woody base with a lavender tone gives it a beautiful ensemble. In the dry down, the woody base with a lavender tone takes centre stage. It’s a complex oriental but light and wearable, ideal for fresh and temperate weather, nocturnal but usable during the day due to its lightness. Performance is moderate but acceptable for the price. I don’t recommend buying it 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 colleague Bofifa. I expected something outdated, but surprise: it is a vintage oriental with clove, magnificent and at a good price. It opens citrusy and aromatic, but lasts little at first. Then the clove, cinnamon, and vanilla enter, creating something sweet, resinous, and spicy. The semi-powdery clove is exquisite. The woody base with lavender supports it, and as it dries, that lavender tone stands out. It is complex but light, very wearable today, although not exactly 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 serves for the day. A beautiful old-school oriental with vintage clove. I would not recommend it blindly if you don’t like that style, but for lovers of the classic, it is a hit. P.S.: Sometimes it reminds me of Tabu, but more moderate.
A chaotic opening that can scare you if you get close to the atomiser, 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 the lavender and vanilla take over, reminiscent of Pour un Homme by Caron. Afterwards, 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 minted patchouli. Longevity is over 12 hours with good projection at the start. Sillage is moderate, perfect. It’s old school but doesn’t smell anachronistic. For a mature audience that enjoys beautiful things. My review is of a bottle from 1995.
The opening is chaotic and can be alarming at first, but then it clears up: lots of CK Obsession-style cinnamon, herbal lavender, galbanum, vanilla, and a brief citrus touch. It is serious, formal, and romantic. Then the lavender and vanilla take control, recalling Caron’s Pour un Homme. Afterwards, a sublime, powdery clove takes command while the rest of the notes dance around it. This phase is long and dynamic: the clove stands out, but sometimes cinnamon, vanilla, or lavender wins. After hours, the vanilla is reinforced with benzoin, and a sweet sandalwood mixed with mentholated patchouli appears that lasts a long time. On me, it lasts more than 12 hours with good projection for the first 6. The trail is moderate, just what it needs. With more trail, it could be annoying. It is old-school but doesn’t smell outdated. For mature people who know how to enjoy the beautiful. My review is of 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 people.
You need experience with old-school aromas to appreciate this perfume; otherwise, you won’t understand it. I was curious about this 80s fragrance sent to me by Darkbeat. It’s a pleasant proposal that blends Fougère, Chypre, and Oriental notes. It’s sweet without being over the top, finishing oriental and comfortable without losing elegance. 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 find it so outdated; it suits people aged 25+ for a classic aura. The fact that it has survived years with that packaging speaks to its quality.
It’s a delight, one of my favourites, and I want to own several more.
I was greatly 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 with cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and a touch of green fir. The base is a delight with woody vanilla, resinous, and sensual. It leans closer to the men’s Obsession but is much calmer. I loved it, absolutely.
This lotion is better than the Croxxato Man one and you save 130 euros.

Depending on the amount you apply and compared to what I usually wear, on my skin it has little longevity and a soft sillage, but I love putting it on when I want to smell like cloves around me. This Elizabeth Taylor cologne remains timeless through the years. Regards.
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 distant, the smell changes; up close it’s citrusy, while further away 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 pleasantly surprised.
Exquisite fragrance, a scent worth owning, addictive and in my opinion very masculine despite the sweet undertone.
A 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 for the office and it makes me feel great. Duration of 6 to 8 hours on skin with a trail of 2 metres and moderate projection. It’s a perfume that could be worth five times more and would be worth it.
I met that fragrance over 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 although I don’t think I’ve used it much, it’s good to have it in the collection to transport my scent to scenes from the past. The aroma is like those of 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, not for every man. It smells spicy, sweet, peppery, talcum-like, earthy, and soapy. I don’t think it’s for very modern people unless you have a lot of personality and confidence to wear this great retro perfume. I’m 20 and honestly, I really like it; it’s for those who want to smell different and use something less commercial than current fragrances. On cold and mild days it works wonderfully, 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 projection on my skin of approximately that duration. Overall, I give it an 8/10.
Literally, it smells like the aromatic representation of masculine purple, a bit odd and totally subjective. A vintage, old-school scent, not suitable for young people wanting to impress girls at the disco. Good performance and good aroma. I give it an 8/10.
Passion for Men transports you straight to the 80s with that masculine, serious, and characterful imprint that commanded presence. It reminds me of my dad. For those who appreciate old-school scents, it’s a journey through time with elegance. Its olfactory pyramid creates a woody, oriental, and spiced scent with a herbal touch, slightly sweet, warm, and masculine, ideal for autumn and winter. In its current reformulation, it’s more wearable than vintage versions but retains that intense essence not for everyone. It’s perfect for those 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 has a distinguished presence. I recommend it if you’re looking for a perfume with history, nostalgia, and a scent that reflects personality and masculine presence. I like it very much.
It’s a complex scent that reminded me of Avon’s Mesmerize. Up close it smells bitter and dry, but from a distance it’s vanilla, cinnamon, and benzoin. Fresh out of the bottle it smells quite boozy, like wine, and as it dries down it becomes warm and vanilla-like, with an aura that is both classic and futuristic. I feel it’s the predecessor to some 90s oriental fragrances; it brings to mind Mugler’s A*Men, Opium Pour Homme, and a bit of Le Male. One of the best orientals I’ve smelled, I’ll definitely 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 autumn and winter.
Smells great and the ingredient blend is top-notch, very pleasant. I’d say it’s unisex as it doesn’t overwhelm, leave a huge trail, or last forever, but given it’s cheap and well-made, it’s worth it even if you need to reapply. To me, it feels very current despite being on the market for years.
