What do reviewers say about En Passant and L'Iris?
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 fragrances ask you to commit. L'Iris just wants to be your default. Powdery without being dusty, floral without being precious, green without being sharp.L'Iris
