Warm light on a shimmering calm lake, time had stood still.
Encore du Temps is a warm fruity floral fragrance with darkness in the background.
It opens with a blast of citrus/fruitiness almost orange/ mandarin mixed with some citrusy nuances. All wrapped around calming and warm notes of tea and a lot of florals. I get an apricot-like smell in the initial hour or two maybe even slightly milky with leathery nuances. It probably comes from the Osmanthus. Champaca is another flower that really stands a lot in the fragrance. Very rich, luscious, and heady. Then there is a contrast with the darkness that Meo is known to add to this fragrance. To me, it's some incense or maybe even the warmth of benzoin along with a lot of woody/ creaminess of sandalwood. The initial hours do remind me of a whiff of warm fruity tea feel with some earthy nuances and then it's the complete magic that you are aware of from Meo's work such as Narcotico, Little Song etc.
Overall, To me, the fragrance has a yellow/ warm undertone from the start and to the end. It's almost like a ray of light just after a dark/ stormy night. To me, it's a fragrance of hope. It feels like Meo really knows how to stop time and Encore du Temps really does that. It's something just to be experienced. I am glad to have done that and I can only recommend you to sample this.
