Community take

Yes, if you prefer a light, fresh floral for warm weather.

En Passant is often described as a fresh and delicate fragrance that captures the essence of blooming lilacs and a crisp cucumber note. Many users appreciate its lightness and airy quality, making it a favorite for spring and summer wear. However, some find it too subtle, with a lack of lasting power and complexity, leading to mixed feelings about its overall value. It tends to appeal to those who enjoy soft, floral scents but may not satisfy those looking for something more robust or long-lasting.
