What does En Passant smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it fits daily wear, leisure and the office best. Nearly half of voters still read it as feminine, so its character leans that way.

Lilac carries the floral side, while cucumber absolute adds an aquatic, green freshness. Rice and wheat sweeten it slightly and give a powdery softness, and cedar and white musk keep it on a clean, calm base.
