About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
En Passant, launched in 2000 by Frederic Malle, is a floral green fragrance that captures the fleeting freshness of a garden after rain. The listed notes—lilac, cucumber, white musk, and cedar—create an ozonic, aquatic opening that feels crisp and dewy, with cucumber adding a watery coolness and cedar a subtle woody dryness. The heart and base are unspecified, but the main accords tell the story: floral (100%), fresh (65%), green (64%), ozonic (60%), aquatic (57%), and musky (47%). This is a delicate, transparent composition, not a heavy hitter. It suits collectors who appreciate minimalist, photorealistic florals and the genius of perfumer Olivia Giacobetti (though uncredited here). Ideal for spring and summer, or whenever you want a quiet, skin-close scent that evokes a stroll through wet lilac bushes. Best for women, but anyone can wear it.
