The story behind the bottle.
En Passant Limited Edition 2018 by Frederic Malle, created by perfumer Olivia Giacobetti and launched in 2018, is a Floral Green fragrance that captures the essence of freshness and elegance. The composition opens with a bright citrus-aromatic accord, giving way to a heart of floral and green notes that create an airy, luminous effect. This is further complemented by ozonic and aquatic elements, which add depth and a sense of movement, as if walking through a misty garden.
This fragrance works best when applied to pulse points for a subtle, long-lasting effect. The ozonic and aquatic notes are most pronounced in the first hour, so it's ideal for daytime wear when you want a fresh, vibrant scent that evolves gently throughout the day.
