A Masterpiece of Spring’s Purest Moments

En Passant by Frederic Malle, created by the talented perfumer Olivia Giacobetti, is a floral green fragrance that encapsulates the delicate beauty of a spring garden in full bloom. Launched in 2000, this scent is a tribute to the lilac flower, which, although lacking a natural essence, is beautifully recreated through Giacobetti’s artistry. En Passant invites you to step into a serene Parisian garden, where a light breeze carries the faint scent of lilac, mingling with the freshness of greenery and the subtle sweetness of flowers. It’s a fragrance that speaks of purity, simplicity, and the fleeting beauty of nature.

An Exquisite Composition

En Passant is a delicate symphony of floral, green, and fresh notes that evolve gracefully throughout the day:

• Top Notes: The fragrance opens with watery notes, cucumber, and galbanum, creating an immediate sense of freshness and crispness, like a morning breeze.
• Heart Notes: As the scent unfolds, lilac, lily of the valley, jasmine, and rose form a lush, floral bouquet, evoking the soft elegance of flowers in bloom. Petitgrain, honey, and carnation add a touch of warmth and sweetness to the composition.
• Base Notes: The fragrance settles into a gentle, musky base of wheat, amber, sandalwood, cedar, and vanilla, leaving a soft, creamy finish that lingers like the warmth of a sun-drenched garden.

The Essence of Quiet Elegance

En Passant is more than just a fragrance; it’s an experience. A quiet moment in a garden, where time seems to slow and nature’s beauty takes center stage.
