City Rhythm Tempo is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2022. Tempo opens with Sugar, Bergamot, Pear, and Strawberry, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Lily of the Valley, and Pepper, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. City Rhythm's Tempo carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one is divisive. Some rave about its unique fruity-incense blend and beastly performance, while others find the sweetness cloying or the incense overpowering. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but worth sampling if you're after something bold and modern.

Scent Profile

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Tempo opens with a bright, juicy blast of strawberry and pear, sweetened by sugar and a zesty limetta. This vibrant fruity introduction quickly mellows as a subtle, smoky incense note weaves through, spiced with a hint of pepper. The dry down settles into a warm, creamy embrace of vanilla and amber, grounded by earthy vetiver and soft musk, leaving a lingering, intriguing sweetness.
