Tempo - Agua de perfume

The dry-down is where this shines—that third wave of patchouli lingers on my coat for hours, and I keep catching whiffs of it at my desk. It’s deep without being heavy, which surprised me for an extrait.

The patchouli here unfolds in three distinct stages, and I love how the middle extract smells almost green and earthy before settling into something warmer. It lasts well into the evening on my skin, which is exactly what I hoped for from a nod to the 60s.

The dry-down is where this really shines—that third extrait lingers for hours without turning sharp or soapy on my skin. If you love patchouli with depth instead of a flat hippie vibe, this is worth every penny.
