In the modern world we have Olivia Giacobetti's En Passant of Frederic Malle's Editions de Parfums 2000 describing the scent of a lilac whipped by the wind and carried by the spring air near a garden; an impressionistic fragrance; a play on one note (white lilac); captured at an instant in time; a glorification of the scent of nature coupled with watery notes; radiant and serene. notes include white lilac, orange leaves, cucumber absolute, wheat absolute.
