Princesse Marina de Bourbon takes her own time with Cristal Royal Passion Perfume, letting bergamot and apple carry a bright, immediately fruity opening well before any real sweetness arrives. Almond, jasmine, and tuberose deepen that fruit through the entire middle, lush and romantic in a way that keeps the composition genuinely inviting throughout. Praline, vanilla, and sandalwood ground the dry down in dense, sweet richness that lasts for many long hours after the fruit above has faded. Romantic evenings and special occasions both suit this fruity gourmand Eau De Parfum equally well, warm rather than sharp about its own considerable presence. Princesse Marina de Bourbon built something genuinely regal here, entirely worthy of its own crystalline, deeply passionate, romantic name.
