![]() ![]() The general then said en passant that he wished he could have saved him. However, after a short time, the soldier died. A French general noticed one of his soldiers suffering from a serious head wound and ordered him removed from the battlefield. This phrase was used by French diplomat and writer Joseph François Laferrière when describing an incident that occurred during a battle in Italy in 1797. It is classified within the oriental genre and contains sandalwood, amber, and musk as its main ingredients.Įn Passant means "in passing" in French. It's not overly sweet or flowery, but rather has a subtle scent that will not overpower others.įrederic Malle created this fragrance in 1991. This perfume truly portrays the exquisite aroma of lilacs, and I feel snug and soothed using it on a windy day. ![]() The aroma that permeates the air is amazing. It’s not an overwhelming win, but I have come back to wearing AdG more often over the years.What does En Passant Frederic Malle's perfume smell like? If I absolutely had to choose between the two in this post, I’d go with the Armani scent. Check out those reviews for further info. I will say, that I would actually either go with Light Blue Eau Intense or AdG Profumo, ahead of either of these two. While I like AdG better, there are cheaper options that replicate the smell. The performance is solid, not amazing, but it is more than enough for most purposes. Very pleasing to wear, balanced, and has awesome versatility. It takes the citrus, adds wood, and has that great aquatic aroma that it has become famous for. The winner in this head to head, is Acqua di Gio. There is some wood and herbal elements in the base, but it doesn’t reach the level of AdG. Not too much development with the cologne, just a nice spicy and clean citrus fragrance. It’s pretty straightforward, safe, and simple. It’s very fresh and a nice starter scent for guys. In both cases, these are highly versatile colognes, and will often be the only fragrance a guy will wear.įor younger guys and through mid-20s, either of these can be a great starter cologne, to use in most situations you’ll come across in your day to day life. Neither are club scents, but AdG does seem to have a bit more ‘sexiness’ to it than Light Blue, and I’ve gotten more complements with that scent. Spring/summer wears mainly, but have the ability to go year round. Acqua di Gio used to be better, but it doesn’t have the same power or longevity as the original bottles.īoth of these scents sort of occupy the same space. Update: the 2021 batch of Acqua that I tried out usually only hits 6 hours. So, that extra hour, I can sometimes get with Light Blue gets the nod here. It is slightly better than AdG, which I get 6-7 hours out of. With Light Blue, I get anywhere from 6-8 hours of solid wear, on my skin. At one time, that might have been different, but nowadays they are about the same.īoth have absolutely lost a step over the years. I actually don’t notice a difference between them. Neither is an absolute beast, nor are they weak. I consider both of these colognes to be moderate in terms of sillage. It’s not a overwhelming choice, but I do prefer it. Which do I prefer? I think that Acqua di Gio has the more pleasant opening, it has the marine note, and lacks the peppery aroma that the D&G features. Yes, many don’t think of floral notes within men’s fragrances, but it sets AdG apart from its competitor. The way that it plays off of that citrus mix in the beginning, has always been great. The jasmine really does help to separate these two, in my mind. Plus, smooth floral notes, consisting mostly of the jasmine. It has much more of an aquatic sea breeze element than does Light Blue. A little beyond the initial spray, incense and rosewood emerge from the base, and a smoky wood quality.ĪdG also starts off with a citrus blast of bergamot and tangerine. It immediately has a bright disposition and is joined by a spicy pepper note and rosemary. Light Blue starts off with citrus fruits of bergamot, grapefruit, and mandarin orange. Notes include: bergamot, tangerine, neroli, jasmine, rosemary, patchouli, rock rose, hyacinth, persimmon, marine notesĬlick here to try: Acqua Di Gio By Giorgio Armani For Men.
