Un chef d’œuvre. Tant de facettes dans une parfum transparent, c’est impressionnant.

Beautiful and fleeting. It reminds me of the softness of water colour paintings, think beautiful pastels. Unique scent profile

En passant means passing by in French and it is a very suitable name for this photo realistic lilac scent. This reminisces of the smell you get passing by lilac trees in Parisian suburbs. A madeleine de Proust, definitely. However, longevity is not the best where you can get 3 to 4 hours on the skin. Bit much spillage either but this is a scent you keep for yourself like a comforting blanket.
