Tiki Drinks, 73 Voicemails, and Geese

Bouquet Encore Latte feels like a momentary vacation in the same way a tiki drink or a good coffee does. You have obligations, responsibilities, 309 emails waiting in your inbox, and 73 voicemails you haven’t listened to yet, but for a brief moment, you’re transported somewhere else.

The fragrance opens very smooth, creamy, and musky with bergamot, almond milk, vanilla, and jasmine. Over time, that bergamot fades and the ylang-ylang, tonka, and musk shine over the cedar. Initially, it’s a soft gourmand with light floral notes, but settles into a beautiful, white floral musk with the breathiest hint of gourmand.

The way the notes develop and trade positions reminds me of geese flying in a V. The front position is the most difficult to maintain while the last are able to save energy. They change positions to work together, helping the group as a whole.

Like geese, these notes are flying in a V right into your nose!
