Olivia Giacobetti

"En Passant is a softly luminous lilac fragrance created by Olivia Giacobetti. Its signature opening combines cool cucumber with airy lilac, creating a watery, green, and remarkably transparent impression. A gentle wheat accord gives the heart a distinctive sunlit and slightly grain-like texture. Floral nuances add softness without making the composition feel dense or overtly sweet. White musk and cedar form a clean, delicate drydown that keeps the fragrance understated and elegant. The overall character is intimate, fresh, powdery, and evocative of a quiet spring day."

Reviews Summary

“En Passant is widely characterized as a soft, airy, spring-like lilac fragrance with a distinctive cool cucumber opening and a gentle wheat, musk, and cedar drydown. Its appeal lies in subtlety, freshness, and a realistic lilac impression rather than strong projection or pronounced sweetness.”
