En Passant

A simple note: white lilac. Captured in a fleeting moment, in the heart of spring. The fragrance composition *En Passant* by Olivia Giacobetti evokes Doisneau’s Paris, wafting with scents rising from gardens hidden behind walls. A few orange leaves, along with cucumber and wheat absolutes, accompany this almost impressionistic fragrance. A creation full of charm that beautifully enhances nature’s gifts. A cheerful, radiant perfume.

The perfumer:
For as long as she can remember, Olivia Giacobetti has wanted to be a perfumer. After training at Robertet, she founded her own laboratory. The scents that move her are often an echo of everyday life, and nature is an inexhaustible source of inspiration for her. A fleeting feeling, a mood, a detail, an attitude—all these small fragments of life hold new desires for her. Her fragrance compositions combine profound simplicity with contemporary sophistication. Whether it’s a piece of bark from a yellow tree that smelled like quince, sweet-smelling sand, or incense from a temple: Olivia Giacobetti transforms all her found objects into true fragrances.
