An Unlikely Discovery
I am not the type of person who is drawn to fragrances like this. I wear stuff like Overture Man by Amouage, Chanel Antaeus, and Guerlain Heritage. All a very far cry from En Passant. The first time I smelled this I was blown away. Damp lilac flowers in their most fragrant state. In my experience whenever a brand tries to replicate a very realistic floral sensation it can come off as synthetic, or it just smells off. This smells exactly like walking past lilacs. One of the fragrances that truly deserves to be called beautiful. A 10/10 for me, and it will likely remain the most "different" fragrance in my collection for some time.
