FREDERIC MALLE
EN PASSANT

En Passant opens with a refreshing burst of watery notes that evoke the essence of a dew-kissed morning, mingling with the bright citrus of orange and the crispness of cucumber and basil. As it develops, the heart reveals a floral bouquet dominated by rose and lily-of-the-valley, layered with the sweetness of honey and the delicate touch of lilac and jasmine. The dry down offers a warm, soft embrace of vanilla, amber, and cedar, while hints of sandalwood and musk create a subtle, grounding finish. This fragrance encapsulates the essence of spring and summer, with its fresh and green accords that feel both invigorating and serene. En Passant is perfect for women who appreciate a light yet complex fragrance for daytime wear, especially during the warmer months. It boasts moderate longevity and an intimate sillage, making it a great choice for those who prefer a subtle presence rather than an overpowering scent cloud. Ideal for casual outings, brunches, or leisurely strolls, this fragrance stands out in the floral category for its unique combination of fresh and green elements. If you enjoy the elegance of a well-crafted floral without being too heavy, En Passant is a choice I would highly recommend.

verifiedBy Fragranova Editors

En Passant opens on watery notes and cucumber before easing into a lilac and lily-of-the-valley heart. Musk, wheat, and cedar carry the base, which is where the wear ultimately lives. This is a skin scent. Expect a quiet, close-to-the-body wear that rewards proximity. Lives in the spring-to-summer window and leans daytime. Verdict: a solid mid-tier pick with broad appeal at 4.2/5.
