What do reviewers say about En Passant and French Lilac?
This is technically an ozonic floral but reads more like biting into a fresh cucumber mid-spring. Giacobetti pulls off the trick of making aldehyde-free lilac feel like actual lilac.En Passant
Some people want a fragrance to perform. Others just want to smell like the thing they love most. French Lilac is for the second kind. It's lilac without apology, not an interpretation.French Lilac
