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 - Lima EDP

A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Jo Malone Lime Basil & Mandarin (1991) - lime, basil and patchouli translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.

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.
