    Being prone to seasonal affective disorder, this fragrance has a real leveling effect on me. It’s such a great reminder that spring will come. The lilac is soft and sprightly, and the rain, wheat,...

    I don't get It. Very light scent, the lilac is clean but very shallow; it could be richer and more pronounced. The cucumber adds a nice aquatic touch, but the freshness and ozonic quality is...

    I got a bottle of this and thought that it was a dead ringer for Glade air freshener. Sold it immediately on Ebay. Happy for those who can wear it, but I don't particularly want to smell like...

    In one word, ambivalent. Is this the faint image of a slightly honeyed, heady, lazy lilac in a hot country or a crystal clear picture of a dewy lilac in the spring? On me, En Passant is both....

    This brings me all kinds of childhood memories of fresh air and lilacs in the sun. It makes me happy every time and can be the highlight of my day when work is rough and the grey London winter...

    I thought Olivia Giacobetti's scents were not my cup of tea, but then remembered all the nice L'Artisans she made, as well as Hiris, which is a terrific scent. I guess having a limited range of...

    This is a beautiful fragrance. Quite unusual too. I am generally not a huge fan of florals, but i fell in love with this scent. It really smells like fresh lilacs. When the initial flowery fresh...

    Lilac and cucumber - who would have thought that such a simple accord could be so evocative, even hypnotic? Olivia Giacobetti, that's who. In her characteristically limpid style, she's managed...

    I love lilacs. Nothing better than driving through New England in the spring and smelling the lilac bushes, many of which have endured more than a hundred years. (Lilacs don't fare well here in...

    I too was so looking forward to this because I have great spring memories attached to lilac and rain in the spring time. But, as others have already written, there is an underlying aqueous and...

    I was torn between this one and L'eau D'hiver (sp?), but ultimately chose this one because I noticed that it made me all smiley and happy every time I sniffed it. It reminds me of being at my...

    I was disappointed with En Passant. I love many of Olivia Giacobetti's creations, and was expecting a sheer lilac, softened and grounded by the "bread" note. This has an aqueous note, which I...

    The lilac note is beautiful, but too sweet, although the cucumber is perfect. Reminded me too much of Glade air freshener for me to enjoy wearing it.

    So far so good. I really don't understand the mixed emotions on this fragrance. I guess when the vote is so mixed like this it is best to just try it out for yourself. I am so glad I did. I...

    En Passant is lovely, plain and simple. Another reviewer noted that you'll smell like a floral shop verus a flower perfume and I could not agree more. Better yet, I had my husband with me when I...

    Couldn't agree with MizLiz more. En Passant is more than a simple combination of lilac and cucumber. It sparks images, feelings and scenes in my mind. The flower note is very true to its natural...
