En Passant
Cucumber, bergamot, lilac — read like that it sounds simple. Frédéric Malle En Passant is not.

How it moves
It arrives on cucumber and bergamot — bright, immediate, gone before you have decided about it. The middle belongs to lilac and wheat. What is left hours later is white musk, and that is the part people follow you for.
