Encore du Temps Meo Fusciuni 2022

That I have a penchant for dark, smoky scents is no secret - so I was all the more surprised by myself that it was precisely “Encore du Temps” from the entire Meo Fusciuni line that I have emotionally clung to the most. Is it spring? Perhaps. Maybe it’s simply an extraordinary floral fragrance, far removed from generic (mostly marketed as feminine) floral scents.

With every fresh spray, my heart opens up in pure joy of life. If the opening were a color, it would be radiant yellow: Champaka is enchanting, exotic, and deeply floral. Osmanthus enhances the fruity-floral sweetness with its distinctive scent of sweet apricots. These blossoms rest on a bed of elegant, delicate magnolia flowers. Notes of green tea lend a gentle tranquility to the whole.

For me, the fragrance feels like being enveloped in an aura of love and joy in the pure moment, like a petal gently falling into a teacup - no excitement, but mindfulness for the pure beauty of a fleeting bittersweet moment that cannot be held onto.
