En Passant receives appreciation for its beautiful, green-leaning lilac character and elegant profile, but the community consensus highlights poor longevity and projection as significant drawbacks for the luxury price point. While some enthusiasts enjoy layering it with fragrances like Musc Ravageur, many seek better-performing alternatives in the green lilac category.

Philosykos is appreciated by the community for its pleasant fig scent and won the letter P in the popular A-Z fragrance voting, but it is widely criticized for extremely poor longevity lasting under an hour on skin. While the fragrance itself is liked, its weak performance makes it impractical for all-day wear despite being marketed as an Eau de Parfum.
