Reviewed profile
Lilac drifting over cool cucumber and the doughy warmth of wheat and bread. Tender and almost transparent, it stays whisper-close and quietly nostalgic.

The Purist
The Cool Sweet
Cool on the surface. Quietly sweet beneath.
Not where you'd expect to find it. It crept in and stayed. Some softness arrives that way.

En Passant sits light in the air, close to the skin and easy to miss. That is 10th percentile for texture across 5,320 scored fragrances.
En Passant carries sweetness without letting it define the scent. That is 78th percentile for sweetness across 5,320 scored fragrances.
Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin. Where wear reports are thin, those scores rest near the middle by design, so a mid-range reading here is a statement about the evidence as much as about the scent. Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
