Frédéric Malle 2000 EDP
En Passant
Frédéric Malle En Passant is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2000, created by Olivia Giacobetti. En Passant opens with Orange, Galbanum, Cucumber, and Banana, settles into a heart of Broom, Petitgrain, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Wheat, Musk, Amber, and Cedar. Frédéric Malle's En Passant carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.
This is a truly divisive one. For some, it's a photorealistic masterpiece of dewy lilac after rain; for others, a fleeting, expensive 'cucumber water' or even 'cat piss' masquerading as a high-end scent. Approach with an open mind, but don't expect universal adoration.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Best Occasions
Its delicate sillage and clean, fresh floral profile make it excellent for office or casual wear, where it won't overwhelm. While some find it romantic, its subtle nature and frequent mentions of weak projection make it less ideal for formal events or energetic sport, unless you enjoy reapplying.
