Tempore Uomo (for men)

knightz

I would add "Floral" to this "Spicy Woody" scent, as the florals stand out just as much as the spices do.

Tempore Uomo has quite a long list of notes. It is very complex and rich, yet simple and subtle at the same time. It's not overpowering even with a generous application.

What I get in the opening is a fruity combo, including citruses, joined with an accord of Lavender, Pepper, Neroli, and light Anise. As with most fruity openings, the heart joins in almost right away.

The heart of Tempore Uomo is very floral. A good combination of sweeter florals, like Lily Of The Valley and Carnation, and some richer florals like Jasmine and Rose, make it a very unique floral accord. The spices of Cardamom and Cinnamon are very light in the heart and seem to support a coniferous aura of Cypress that surrounds the whole scent throughout the top and mid notes. Nicely balanced.

The base picks up very soon after the floral heart notes. At the core is various woody notes, including Vetiver and Sandal, with light Incense and very light Musk. Sillage is a bit closer than average, and it lasts about 4 hours on me.

A very well-rounded fragrance for any occasion, night or day. I like it.

The bottom printing on the box says "Giorgio Beverly Hills Inc. Made in UK". I believe GBH is an Arden brand, good stuff.
