Tempo

Tempo opens with a bright aldehyde-citrus snap that feels crisp and animated against the skin. The heart settles into a powdery iris duet with jasmine and rose, softening the initial brightness into something almost creamy. As it develops, woody base notes and labdanum emerge beneath, grounded by musk and moss that lend an earthy, slightly animalic warmth—civet and benzoin adding depth and a subtle resinous sweetness that lingers long into the drydown.
