Advertising / Public Relations / Slogan
Italian term or phrase: Gioia e passione pura
Si tratta di uno slogan che deve comparire su un manifesto che pubblicizza candele aromatiche per massaggio e per ambiente. Io, da italiana non esperta del settore pubblicitario, posso fornire al cliente solo una traduzione letterale qualcosa come: Joy and pure passion / Joy and passion pure (il cliente vuole che "pura" resti in qualche modo legato a passione e che "gioia" stia isolato in quanto JOY è anche il nome del prodotto. Grazie per ogni aiuto!

Oppure, più pubblicitario: JOY. Pure passion.
In questo modo isoli JOY, come richiesto dal committente.

In fact, this particular combination (pure passion) is often used in marketing/advertising language:

Sheer passion and pure delight


Explanation:
Metti quello che ti pare meglio; non è che qui devi apizzicarti al testo originale. Nei casi come questi il ritmo è tanto importante quanto il contenuto.

scusa, ho ignorato la referenza alla gioia. Metti dunque, "sheer passion and pure joy", oppure se vuoi unire gioia come emozione e gioia come nome del prodotto, puoi inventare qualcosa tipo "sheer passion of joy" o meglio ancora "Sheer Joy of Passion".
Eh?

Joy and pure delight


Explanation:
Ok, this looks suspiciously like a hybrid of WG and Michael's solutions, and I guess it is (sorry guys), but sometimes I wonder about 'passion' for a non-Italian audience (no sex please, we're British, or we might be in this context :o) ). It's an alternative, anyway.

agree  Sarah Jane Webb: watch it, Oliver. I said the same about "a passion for chocolate" sometime back, and had my head bitten off hahaha
11 mins
  -> Oh well, chocolate, that's different :o)
neutral  wordgirl: no worries about the hybrid, some of the best ideas come about that way! BUT a fast g search for pure passion +UK reveals MANY commercial, NON pornografic pages, selling, among other items, car races, Daimlers, flowers, hand cream, and (my fave) darts! ;)
21 mins
  -> Oh no, Sarah Jane was right! You're quite right, it's just a subtle tonal point that the asker is probably best placed to judge :o). Darts, eh?

the joy of pure passion


Explanation:
just playing around a bit with the same words here, but feel this is more likely as a slogan in English, linking the two into a single concept rather than as X and Y
