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.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Urban Green EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Portobello Road by Memo Paris - a citrus fragrance led by Mandarin Orange, Green Leaves, Myrtle, with green depth. It captures the gist of the original at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.

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.

Urban Green

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the citrus, green profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Keep it for casual and daily - the citrus accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
