Encore du Temps

To me, it's a very floral scent that initially smells strongly like a bouquet of flowers. Over time, it becomes more subtle, but unfortunately, the tea note doesn't really come through for me. For fans of floral scents, it's certainly an interesting fragrance, but for me, it was unfortunately nicer on paper than to my nose. A real shame, as I was hoping for a beautiful floral tea fragrance.

I was expecting this to be much more of a tribute to Giuseppe's partner and love in general than a tribute to Laos... This is a very complex fragrance; initially, I loved it, but the more it settled, the more I found it too hard to wear for me. It is still a wonderful and emotional perfume. Update 02/08: I've ended up falling in love with it in the summer heat. I don't find it tough to wear at all, it smells just right, and it could even be stronger. Encore du Temps goes from an 8 to a 10, and it's another full-bottle buy. It surpassed Viole Nere for me

I wanted to try something new and ordered this fragrance. Unfortunately, I don't notice any bergamot on my skin; the scent quickly becomes heavy. There is a lot of champaca in it; I only smell the tea when I remember what green tea smells like. A hint of apricot resonates. Anyone who likes it floral and heavy will be delighted. Rather a spring or autumn fragrance. For me, it will remain just the sample.
