Ylang and Gardenia share shotgun, with Violet chiming in with her vocal input as a backseat driver. Most of the Lili Bermuda offerings I’ve tried so far have an innocence about them, but Passion Flower has a seductive side. That being said, it’s a clean (not dirty) ylang, and non-indolic water color gardenia. A flirtatious, provocative ride.
On Fragrantica’s Notes list, ‘Fig leaf’ smells like a green fig, ‘Pear blossom’ smells like a floral-pear, and ‘Tobacco blossom’ is a floral-cigarette-ash. That’s not the case with Lili Bermuda’s Passion Flower. While there’s unsweetened fruit in the background, it’s not specifically passion fruit. If you’re looking for passion fruit, try Arielle Shoshanna.

Passion Flower has a strong floral note, on my skin its mainly gardenia, ylang ylang and sandelwood, maybe a lil touch of peach too. Really warm and opulent but very soft in the sillage, just sits close to the skin. Its also a good night or a rainy day scent and i can imagine wearing it on colder than warmer days. Again very a natural and realistic scent. I just miss the passion flower, not sure if passion flowers have a distinctive smell though.

For those unaware, passion flower (Passiflora) is the flower of the passion fruit tree, which is called Maracujá (in Portuguese). But this fragrance is not a soliflore. It brings many nuances of passion flower, but these nuances do not reign alone during the evolution.
With notes of gardenia, mimosa and passion flower, in the head, supported by a heart of tuberose, orange blossom and violets, as well as exotic woods and nectarine, at the base, this fragrance is extremely delicious, as soon is applied over the skin. In my opinion, it is one of the best (if not the best) among the female perfumes I tested from this house. I believe the explanation is the fact this scent remind me a lot, like a light version (fraiche), of Amarige (Givenchy), which I adore. Both fragrances share the same floral notes. In addition, although not mentioned by the manufacturer, there is a very strong nuance of ylang-ylang.
However, unfortunately, the powerful and divine projection that arises at the beginning of the application is lost in about three hours, leaving a faint trace of what could be a masterpiece of the house. And for more that it insists staying on the skin, the scent is not even a shadow of what it was once. Very disappointing!
Either way, it was made for women and obviously, it may react differently on women’s skin. I hope so, because the scent is delicious and sensual.

I think this is lovely but agree it is delicate and short-lived. It is a floral scent but not “flowery,” I enjoy the nectarine in it, and the waxiness. You have to enjoy it quickly because it’s completely gone after two hours.

Creamy, spicy, not quite tropical in my opinion, but like a bit oriental. That is another one from Lili Bermuda that I could categorize like a mono perfume. Though I may recognize a lot of the notes listed, they all compose a one main – passion flower. That is strange I do not see it listed here, as in the manufacturer’s brochure there were “Heady Gardenia, Passion Flower and Mimosa”.
Yet anyway, the description of this perfume may be the same as the description of the passion flower’s scent: heavy, waxy, overwhelming, tempting, luscious and haunting. For some lady who is associating her character with this flower, this perfume is the best choice as a signature one.

This perfume is a delicate skin scent. Light, with a touch of airyness and humidity to it, it has some kind of misty quality about it, very feminine, softly sweet-but not in an artificial or candied way. I recieved the set of samples in a tin- directly from the manufacturer- and the notes listed are Gardenia, Passion Flower, and Mimosa.
The scent is so extremely fragile and transparent..that sadly I cannot say much about the scent. I smelled a hint of the fruits. The passion flower is boldest at opening, and yes it’s there, I recognized it, the same kind of passion flower scent from Lancome Hypnose (but better quality). The passion flower note stands out in the beginning, and it’s a bit waxy-but that’s something I like, I’ll never understand why. It’s very well blended and composed, but all the rest of the notes are too meek and mild. Some very light musk and shy sandlewood creep out in about an hour…hour and fifteen minutes. This soft perfume fades fast.
