How does it perform?
From 122 community ratings, all out of 10.
Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

FougèreWhat does Le Passant smell like?
It opens with tagetes, bergamot and lavender, and Provençal lavender carries the heart. In the base, vanilla, tonka bean and amyris sweeten and soften it. A floral, green frame meets a gourmand, powdery sweetness, with a spicy touch kept in the background.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick spring first, then fall and summer, and name leisure, daily wear and the office as its settings. It is presented as a men's perfume, yet votes for masculine and feminine character are almost level.
