   Picked up a sample of Tempo after reading the community buzz (2018). Give it a little time and Patchouli with Mate comes forward — smooth and well done. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Patchouli with Mate, which is where the fragrance really shines. On my skin the performance is reliable, not a beast but far from weak. I reach for it often and always enjoy the wear.

   Picked up a sample of Tempo after reading the community buzz (2018). After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Patchouli with Mate, which is where the fragrance really shines. Give it a little time and Patchouli with Mate comes forward — smooth and well done. It projects politely for a couple of hours, then stays close and cosy. I would happily buy a full bottle.

   A decant of Tempo sat in my box for weeks before I finally wore it. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Patchouli with Mate, which is where the fragrance really shines. The heart is the best part for me: Patchouli and Mate feel carefully balanced. Longevity is moderate and the trail is noticeable without being loud. I reach for it often and always enjoy the wear.

   A friend passed me a decant of Tempo (2018) and I wasn’t prepared for it. Give it a little time and Patchouli with Mate comes forward — smooth and well done. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Patchouli with Mate, which is where the fragrance really shines. Longevity is moderate and the trail is noticeable without being loud. I can see its quality, but it simply is not my style.

The heart is the best part for me: Patchouli and Mate feel carefully balanced. The drydown lingers pleasantly, and I do not need to reapply at lunch. This has earned a permanent spot in my rotation.

   For a 2018 release, Tempo deserves more attention than it gets. Give it a little time and Patchouli with Mate comes forward — smooth and well done. The heart is the best part for me: Patchouli and Mate feel carefully balanced. It wears beautifully in the office; I can still catch it on my scarf at the end of the day. A very likeable composition that is easy to appreciate.

   Picked up a sample of Tempo after reading the community buzz (2018). After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Patchouli with Mate, which is where the fragrance really shines. The heart is the best part for me: Patchouli and Mate feel carefully balanced. I get about four to six hours before it turns into a skin scent. I would happily buy a full bottle.

   Diptyque knows how to compose, and Tempo (2018) is proof. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Patchouli with Mate, which is where the fragrance really shines. The heart is the best part for me: Patchouli and Mate feel carefully balanced. It is not the loudest scent I own, but the balance suits it well. Easily one of my favourite finds this season.

   Iris Sullivan Love July 11, 2026

   I’ve been wearing Tempo on and off for a few weeks now (2018). The heart is the best part for me: Patchouli and Mate feel carefully balanced. Give it a little time and Patchouli with Mate comes forward — smooth and well done. Projection stays close for the first hour, then becomes a soft, pleasant aura. Easily one of my favourite finds this season.

    A decant of Tempo sat in my box for weeks before I finally wore it. The heart is the best part for me: Patchouli and Mate feel carefully balanced. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Patchouli with Mate, which is where the fragrance really shines. It lasts through a full workday on me, which is exactly what I want. I enjoy it when I wear it, yet I rarely think of reaching for it.

    I needed a full wearing before I made my mind up about Tempo. Give it a little time and Patchouli with Mate comes forward — smooth and well done.

Well done — recommended if the notes appeal to you.
