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.

I adore this fragrance!
A very special fragrance with interesting notes of patchouli whilst still soft and feminine. I agree with other reviewers on the longevity and particularly lingers on clothing. Despite the price I can’t tear myself away, it’s fabulous. I do tend to use mostly in autumn winter as that works best for me but that’s just personal choice.

Alluring
I absolutely love this fragrance, it’s a deep,woody,slightly chocolate and medicinal scent. To me this is a stunning fragrance on a man or a woman , mysterious and intriguing. Me and partner absolutely love this fragrance. It is reasonably long lasting on skin and lasts longer on clothes. One of my top Diptyque fragrances for sure.

Beautiful and my new favourite
I read up on this and bought it blind, based on ingredients I like in a perfume and that I love Orientals. It is magnificent! If you like a patchouli based smell then this is is a ‘green’ smell which warms into a floral smell. I advise reading other people’s views on the Fragrantia blog because they are interesting and totally dissect it better than I could hope. Anyway, it’s my new signature scent! I love it, it’s very different.
