Had no idea I liked lilac until I smelled En Passant at a counter. Rice and wheat do the same thing here that they often do in cooking--provide a solid base for other ingredients. Cucumber lends freshness and the orange leaf a hint of green, but lilac is what this perfume is about. I find En Passant entrancing. It's the only Malle that captivated me at the counter, since I already had Une Rose. Le Parfum de Therese didn't interest me at the time. It had to grow on me and it did, but so far it hasn't surpassed En Passant, which delights my nose anew whenever I spray it on. Not much else to say about this fragrance. It projects. It lasts fairly long. For me it's a sultry beauty. If you like Lilac, it may capture you, too.
