Diptyque Tempo

Diptyque Tempo treats patchouli as texture rather than nostalgia: dark earth and warm wood gain a dry herbal pulse from mate and clary sage, then a cool violet-green lift.

Profile: Woody aromatic / earthy green.

Notes: patchouli, mate, clary sage, violet.

Evolution: Earthy patchouli is cut by bitter mate and clary sage, while violet keeps the woody warmth green and airy.

Best for: For the thoughtful person who wears patchouli as quiet structure rather than bohemian sweetness. It feels at home in a record shop, a book-lined room or a cool rainy afternoon; anyone wary of earthy patchouli may find its character too austere.

Origin: France.
