Wild Passion by Qole is one of those fragrances that immediately raises curiosity — not because of the bottle or branding, but because of the price. At just $3.89, this perfume is clearly positioned as a budget-friendly fruity floral inspired by Mon Paris Eau de Parfum by Yves Saint Laurent.
Based on the note breakdown alone, the inspiration is obvious. But how does it actually perform?
Fragrance Notes
Top Notes: Strawberry, Raspberry, Pear, Bergamot, Orange, Mandarin
Middle Notes: Peony, Orange Blossom, Jasmine
Base Notes: Patchouli, Musk, Ambroxan, Oakmoss, Cedarwood, Vanilla
First Impression & Opening
On first spray, Wild Passion opens very sweet and syrupy. The fruit notes are loud right away — strawberry and raspberry dominate — and the opening feels more candy-like than refined. It smells okay, but it lacks depth and balance at this stage, especially when compared to its inspiration.
This is not a subtle fragrance. The projection kicks in almost immediately.
Dry Down Experience
The fragrance improves noticeably as it dries down. Once the florals begin to come through — particularly peony and jasmine — the sweetness becomes more tolerable and the scent feels more wearable overall.
The base settles into a musky, lightly woody vanilla profile with ambroxan providing lift. It never becomes complex, but it does smooth out enough to be enjoyable if you already like fruity floral scents.
Longevity & Projection
This is where Wild Passion genuinely surprises.
- Longevity: 8–10 hours on skin
- Projection: Strong
For a perfume under $4, the performance is impressive. It projects well and sticks around far longer than expected, even though the scent itself remains fairly linear.
How Close Is It to Mon Paris?
Wild Passion does not replicate Mon Paris in terms of depth or elegance. Instead, it captures the general fruity-floral vibe without the sophistication or layering found in the original.
Think of it as inspired-by rather than a true dupe.
Final Thoughts
Temu Wild Passion by Qole smells okay to good, depending on your taste. It’s sweet, loud, and straightforward. If you enjoy fruity floral perfumes and don’t mind a syrupy opening, this could work for you — especially considering the price and performance.
However, if you prefer nuanced, well-blended fragrances, this one will likely feel flat.
