En Passant vs Bal d'Afrique

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.

Bal d'Afrique is widely praised for its beautiful, unique scent profile with fresh citrus and creamy sweetness, making it an excellent signature fragrance for warm weather. However, the community consensus is tempered by significant concerns about poor longevity and weak projection, which many feel don't justify its premium price, recommending samples before purchase.
