La Fragancia De La Pasion review summaries:
Tongue in Groove's
"La Fragancia de la Pasion" was released in 1999 by Adam and Eve as "The Fragrance of Passion." This time it is dubbed, I believe, in Italian. Luckily for all English-speaking viewers, there is very little dialogue. Ashton Moore introduces each of the scenes with just a couple short sentences about flowers and romance. Yep, it's a couples flick to the extreme, but a rather well done one if you're into that kind of porn. Nick Orleans directs, which means there will be plenty of slow motion, special effects up the ying-yang, soft music, upscale sets, and well-dressed, beautiful people. The sex is passionate, not a hair-tug or butt spank to be found. There is no anal sex, and only one semi-accidental facial. Condoms abound. There is one standard token lesbian scene (complete with dildo). Among the women, Moore, Alexandra Silk, Temptress, and Jenny McArther look absolutely stunning. [read the full review]

The Little Details Running Time: 88 min. Production Date: 3 / 10 / 2004 Director: Nick Orleans Cast: Ashton Moore, Jill Kelly, Marc Davis, Temptress, John Decker, Julia Parton, Jenny MacArthur, Alexandra Silk, Elizabeth X, Brick Majors, Randy Spears, and Jack Hammer The Short Story Initial Expectations: Im not sure about this one. At first glance Im guessing this is another Adam & Eve compilation, but its also very similar looking to their The Scent of Passion. Initial Reaction: Somebody should be slapped for this one. Who Should Watch It : Anybody who insists that their movie be completely in Spanish Who Should Avoid It: Pretty much everybody. Audio /Video Quality: The audio is completely dubbed in Spanish. This isnt that big of a deal here as the video for the sex scenes is slowed slightly for romantic effect so most of the audio was dubbed anyway. The video is very soft. Its almost a smokey type look to many of the scenes. [read the full review]

Running Time: 88 min. Production Date: 10 / 1998 (box) 11 / 17 / 1998 (movie) Director: Nick Orleans Cast: Ashton Moore, Jill Kelly, Marc Davis, Temptress, John Decker, Julia Parton, Jenny MacArthur, Alexandra Silk, Elizabeth X, Brick Majors, Randy Spears, and Jack Hammer Initial Expectations: Adam & Eve normally does a very good job with their Premium Collection movies, so I have pretty good expectations here. Initial Reaction: Its pretty typical Nick Orleans, which I like! Who Should Watch It : Couples who dont want a plot, but want tastefully and artistically done sex scenes Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting down and dirty, trash talking, ball slapping, ass stretching sex scenes Audio /Video Quality: The audio in the sex scenes is normally dubbed, but the video is also normally slowed slightly. This leaves two options, dubbing, or having the women sound a little deeper than James Earl Jones. As much as I dislike dubbing, I think its a highly preferred option here. The video is very soft.

Running Time: 86 min. Production Date: 1 / 22 / 1999 Director: Nick Orleans Cast: Ashton Moore, Evan Stone, Gina Ryder, Julie Meadows, Charlie, Elena, Jack Hammer, Brick Majors, Micki Lynn, Alexandra Nice, Mark Davis, and Dante Initial Expectations: I normally like Nick Orleans movies, but for some reason this one has me a little nervous. Initial Reaction: Its okay, but not one of Orleans best. Who Should Watch It : Anybody wanting sex with heavy artistic direction and who doesnt mind slow motion and not really hearing the performers Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants to hear the performers and the audio and video to synch Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects are very artistic, and I can see many people hating the movie because of them. During the setup sequences, the audio and video are nicely done. Theyre both nicely clear and there are very few shadows. During the sex, however, the video normally slows things down to give the feature a more romantic feel. [read the full review]

Running Time: 89 min. Production Date: 11 / 17 / 1998 Director: Nick Orleans Cast: Ashton Moore, Brick Majors, Johnni Black, Cheyenne Silver, Alexandra Nice, Kasorn Swan, Eve, Natasha, Ian Daniels, Jack Hammer, and Alec Metro Initial Expectations: Ive had pretty good luck with Adam & Eves Premium Collection, so Ive got pretty good expectations here also. Initial Reaction: Its pretty good. Not great, but very good. Who Should Watch It: Anybody wanting sex on the more artistic side Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants sex in real time without dubbed audio Audio /Video Quality: The audio is mostly dubbed, but theres a lot of slow motion shots in the movie so its kind of unavoidable. Everything is very clear, both dialogue and sex sounds. The video is normally very clear, but in some places theres a little grain. Music: The music is by Saint, which I really like. Saints music really raises couples movies up a notch for me. Its very well balanced and fits the scenes wonderfully. [read the full review]

Running Time: 88 min. (cover states 83 min.) Production Date: 6 / 11 / 1998 Director: Nick Orleans Cast: Ashton Moore, Shay Sweet, Danielle Rogers, Azlea Antisia, Kelsey (Heart), Ian Daniels, Tony Martino, and Brick Majors Initial Expectations: I havent heard too much about this one, so Im not expecting too much even though it is a Nick Orleans feature. Initial Reaction: *YAWN* Who Should Watch It : Anybody who wants to realize why a lot of couples movies are made fun of Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants a lot of chemistry, heat, and energy Audio /Video Quality: The audio is normally pretty clear and well balanced. The video is also pretty clear, but there is a little bit of grain. As often happens in Nick Orleans features, theres a fair amount of slow motion, but its normally nicely done. This means theres also a fair amount of dubbing, but its normally done pretty well also. Music: As with most of Nick Orleans features, Saint provides the music, which is almost always a very good thing. [read the full review]

Starring: Ashton Moore, Shay Sweet, Danielle Rogers, Alzea Antistia, Kelsey Heart, Ian Daniels, Brick Majors, Tony Martino Directed By: Nick Orleans Ah, the porn review--if ever there was a better forum to turn a witty phrase or author a double entendre, I've yet to see it. But, I'm not gonna do it. Not here. Clever porn editorializing requires a certain amount of inspiration, and unfortunately The Naked Truth doesn't provide it. That's a shame, really, because it could. Ashton Moore is really a pretty girl, and Danielle Rogers looks as good as ever, but they're both held back in favor of...well, I don't know why they're held back. Their performances are so diluted here that they're damn near sublime. I know that it's not fair to ask for the hardest, filthiest action from a couple's oriented feature, but I'd like to think that couples who are adventurous enough to watch porn together are at least adventurous enough to choose hot porn. That said, The Naked Truth can be attractive to look at--like a bowl of fruit. [read the full review]

Directed by Nick Orleans Production date 3 / 98 Starring Ashton Moore, Azlea Antistia, Shay Sweet, Brick Majors, Ian Daniels et al. Nick Orleans gained critical and public recognition with his 1999 film 'Search for the Snow Leopard' and has indeed been active since 1993 (his 1994 feature films 'Virtual Sex' and 'Erotique Optique' are good variations on the Ninn/Blake pictures), so I was interested to see on of his smaller movies, moreso since this one introduced Ashton Moore to the XXX-business. She has a very pretty face and a nice body, though the heat of her performances is no match for Jenna or Chloe... I was all the more disappointed that this was such a bland sex flick, not even the visual style was anything to behold, contrary to what one might expect.. Review : The 'naked truths' one learns from watching this video are the following : -You can only stuff your breasts with a limited amount of silicone, after which it starts to look ridiculous -Don't shoot facial cumshot scenes if the woman is not into it.
