by Nishane
Tempfluo by Nishane opens with a vibrant blend of bergamot, mandarin orange, and saffron, creating a bright, spiced citrus initiation that feels both fresh and intriguing. The heart unfolds into a rich white floral cascade of jasmine sambac and orange blossom, fused with praline for a sweet, creamy texture that gives the fragrance a soft, almost candy-like quality. Cashmere wood and cedar provide a subtle, silken base, while vanilla adds warmth and depth. The scent evolves with a pronounced, aromatic spiciness from saffron, which persists throughout and lends a subtle leathery air that some find evocative, though others liken it to play dough or shoe store, depending on personal perception. Longevity is excellent, lasting deep into the next day, with sillage maintaining a moderate to strong presence. The fragrance bears strong similarities to YSL Libre, especially Libre Le Parfum, but with more intensity, warmth, and a more complex top note profile. It feels like a high-quality, unisex evolution of Libre — more textured, spicier, and more enduring than its predecessor.
