The review

En Passant scores 7.0 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing En Passant.

Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is En Passant's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $23 it costs 92% less than En Passant.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Palermo Perfumes publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

Frédéric Malle En Passant is cucumber and bergamot at first, lilac and wheat at its heart and white musk at the end. Palermo Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Base

  • white musk
Watery lilac with cucumber and wheat — a transparent, fleeting breath of spring.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
