Editions de Parfums Frederic Malle ~ En Passant
It’s funny the way you can almost taste lilacs before you smell them. Some ghost thirst speeds ahead of your nose in similar shape and recognition to the real thing, then suddenly vanishes before you can name the sensation.
En Passant moves with the butterfly kiss of lilacs fluttering in the wind, brushing delicate across the tippy top of your nose in that split second when liquid cognition evaporates.
So what if the juice has all the half-life of paper in fire? En Passant stands for everything illuminating and ephemeral.
The shine off a stranger’s new shoes;
A slightly sweaty and urgent handhold of a couple just now in love;
The smile that bursts into an overheard joke.
These revenant moments hang brightly in the untranslatable space that floats between words and actions. They extend and shrink the world within a single but shared twinkling. Connect the dots and you will find a constellation of humanity shining back.
Time’s arrow occasionally forgets the curve of space, pinning fleeting experiences into something resembling what we like to call forever.
Eternity is not infinity, it is awaking to the realization of an instant.
