A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The note pyramid of Passing Hours unfolds as an expressive line of development, where layers reveal themselves without rush and without gaps. The signature of Muriel Hasbrouck comes through in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. No excess details, only what works, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail.
Even without a fully detailed top section the composition still remains balanced and structured, and the very first impression arrives without noise.
The deeper layers are felt as a gradual shift without abrupt breaks, which preserves the scent identity through drydown.
The gender direction is feminine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
Its classification still comes through through movement from opening to drydown.
Taken together Passing Hours sounds complete from start to finish — the start forms character, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. These are the fragrances best judged in wear.
