What do reviewers say about French Lilac and 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
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
