A bit too strong
I have tried a sample size of this fragrance and I am sure there are many that would love the heady, strong scent. However, I prefer a light floral or citrus fragrance so this is really not for me.

Great Long-Lasting Earthy Scent
A modern take on patchouli that’s smooth, earthy, and surprisingly wearable. There’s a soft green edge and a hint of spice, but nothing overpowering. It settles close to the skin and feels grounded, grown-up, and a little unexpected. A great choice if you want something subtle but distinctive.

exquisite
A nuanced fragrance inspired by patchouli but with a lot more complexity, I absolutely adore Tempo. Some might wear it to make an impression but I find it to be deeply comforting and wear it as much as for wellbeing. I only wish Diptyque would create a travel-sized version.

Sophisticated
This is a sophisticated unisex scent - although I would say it is slightly leaning towards the more masculine side. It is a sophisticated scent which keeps itself interesting as it dries down. Definitely one of my go to scents especially during the fall / winter season.
