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.
