Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Tempo EDP
This is *the* patchouli for those who crave depth without the dirt. Tempo brings a clean, modern twist to an enigmatic note, but beware - for some, it's a barely-there whisper, while for others, it's a full-bodied embrace. Divisive, intriguing, and undeniably chic, it demands a personal sampling.

Our Verdict - Portobello Road EDP
A truly unique scent that masterfully blends the unexpected. While some find the asphalt note a bit much, most are utterly captivated by its fresh, green, and slightly earthy charm. Expect compliments and a distinctive olfactory experience.

Season and Occasion Fit

Tempo

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate projection and smooth patchouli make it suitable for office wear, though it shines brighter in more intimate or casual settings. The sophisticated earthy-herbal profile is well-suited for dates and relaxed outings, especially in cooler weather. It's too rich and complex for sporting activities.

Portobello Road

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

This scent leans fresh and green, making it versatile for casual daywear and even some office settings, though the unique asphalt accord might be too distinctive for more formal occasions. Its moderate sillage and longevity mean it's unlikely to overpower, allowing for broader casual appeal.
