Encore du Temps
Green tea and fruity osmanthus recall a cup of tea in Luang Prabang, written as a dedication of love.
Perfumer: Giuseppe Imprezzabile
The brand calls Encore du Temps a love dedication: a flower fallen into a cup of tea. Its source is a trip to Laos, and time spent on the terrace of an old colonial house in Luang Prabang, watching the river over tea that never seemed to run out.
Bergamot and mandarin make a soft entrance. The heart is pictured as a white canvas scattered with green tea, where osmanthus sits warm, full and fruity beside champaca and a broad magnolia. Laotian benzoin, sandalwood and maté close it gently, bringing resinous sweetness, soft wood and a faint herbal note.
Osmanthus now grows in the creator's garden, and its autumn blossoms bring back Laos and an everyday feeling for a loved one. The title means roughly "more time," a wish repeated again and again.
