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.
