Tempfluo

Nishane Tempfluo with its funny name is really an interesting scent indeed. And quite lovely if you let it be. Tempfluo apparently means time flows or flows of the time in the odd language Esperanto... Tempfluo encompasses to me both a fresh beach vibe and a bit darker spicy ness combined also with something urban unnatural like some describe as play doh, some as plastic/metallic, some as rubber or asphalt which intrigues some and I guess repulses some. For me that twang is diffused and I experience it mostly like something a bit dusty or dirty that slightly stains the otherwise more beautiful notes. Like the feeling of experiencing a beautiful but somewhat crowded beach from a nearby cafe right by a semi-busy asphalt road if that makes sense and is subdued enough for me to enjoy it. it also helps the composition to feel very modern and cool without trying too hard. I am going to go out on a limb here by suggesting that if Barbie and Ken were two very cool characters - they would both be wearing Tempfluo as their signature scent... To sum it up the vibe of Tempfluo it is modern, cool and fun with a clash between the beautiful beach and the dusty urban city while at the same time harbouring the possibility of becoming something timeless. But you have got to be ok with also the somewhat clashing urban notes in the composition. This is by no means a safe blind buy! You need to be on board with quite a bit of saffron in combination with something I would have interpreted as cardamom and lavender mixed in a way that in some distant ways reminds of the sophisticated blend of these types of notes in for instance BR540 by MFK or Gris Charnel by BDK. In reality there is neither cardamom nor lavender in Tempfluo, but for some reason the combination of I guess praline, orange blossom and cashmere wood and vanilla mixed with the saffron translates that way to my nose. Here the combo of saffron with florals and herbs and sweet spices stand out more and pushes the saffron to the max as this is a strongly projecting fragrance. The impact is prominent to say the least not to use the word bomb... And it’s fun as it sends your mind in all sorts of directions. Sometimes a whiff of something gourmand like an orange vanilla almost chocolate praline comes up. And the next this plasticky sweet vibe that makes me think of Barbie and Ken or the dust from a hot busy city street. And sometimes the citrusy zests from the orange on top dominates to then leave way for an eruption of beautiful orange blossom surrounded by sweet nectar... And in other times the saffron totally dominates and can even take Tempfluo into almost a leathery direction. (A soft smooth suede kind of leather, not a screechy saddle shoe store kind). In essence Tempfluo flows through the notes like quite a little chameleon. For me Tempfluo does therefore not develop in a traditional way but rather projects different little puffs of its composition depending on I guess your skin and the environment surrounding you and so on. In a sense it is more of a linear type of composition that allows you to pick up on different things throughout the wear. What I find interesting with several of the Nishane fragrances is that they somehow manages very well to also hold on to the citrus notes in their compositions in a rather outstanding way making them last throughout the wear time and not just be a fleeting thing in the beginning. You can definitely pick up on the oranges in Tempfluo at any time during the wear, just as any of the notes. For me Tempfluo is blossoming during late spring and all throughout summer. It is a both fresh and spicy scent so it can also work from day to night, as it is refreshing enough not to be cloying in the heat but spicy and dark enough to handle a hot night as well. It is incredibly unisex. From that point of view this has the potential of a small masterpiece as it will also bring forward different things depending on who it sits on and when... Because of how Tempfluo also behaves I urge you to not make the mistake to just smell it from the bottle or from a blotter as that will most certainly give off the wrong impression. Tempfluo needs to be tried out on your skin. Projection wise this is a scent that lets people know you are on your way. It’s a bold projector with a huge sillage, especially for being also somewhat of a freshie. And the longevity is great as on most Nishane fragrances I have tried. Nishane as a brand is not for the faint of heart in my opinion. On me this lasts easily 8-12 hours with strong projection and I will still feel it the day after I have used it until I shower. And on clothes until you wash them... As far as similarities to other fragrances goes I can sadly not help in comparisons to YSL Libre which I see here Tempfluo be compared with quite a lot - as I am probably the last person on this planet who has not yet smelled YSL Libre. 🫣 But an uneducated guess would be that a Tempfluo probably in that case is a cooler and crazy fun sibling on steroids in comparison. As I doubt YSL Libre would have been such a huge people pleasing success if it had smelled exactly like Tempfluo making me guess that YSL Libre probably is less in your face and perhaps more of an easy wear? Out of all of the suggested reminders up here I would say Gozo from Jeroboam comes closest. Gozo is however more sweet, powdery and floral, a lot less spicy and is void of the urban twist that makes Tempfluo so unique. Gozo is also more feminine in my opinion a lot because of the makeupey powdery ness that you can’t find any of in Tempfluo. Gozo has however believe it or not an even stronger longevity! Prada Paradoxe is more of a classic fruity floral designer and is not very similar to Tempfluo at all if you ask me apart from the fact they both carry orange blossom. Paradoxe is more fizzy and citrusy and a lot more girlie to my nose. But also a bit heady in a way Tempfluo is not. It also lacks the depth and complexity of Tempfluo. They are similar in sweetness levels though. Paradoxe may be an easier wear (except if you are sensitive to heady fragrances). But also a lot less unique. It bears no resemblance whatsoever to In Paradise Riviera from Ex Nihilo which is a much lighter tropical fresh musk. Riviera is a very feminine elegant scent focused on fresh beautiful flowers, sunshine and clean musk. Tempfluo is all about fun and playfulness mixed with an urban edge. There is also no musk in Tempfluo. The really interesting thing about Tempfluo is that it gives the impression of being a bit of a challenge when in fact it’s whole real vibe is easy going... It is sort of the surfer who on the surface seems to have nothing but waves on his mind but underneath we hope there can be a world of depth, but that turns out in the end to just be a fun loving Peter Pan who never wants to grow up... I think there is a bit of surfer boy or Peter Pan in all of us. And Fragrances like Tempfluo points that out in a complex but at the same time lighthearted sort of way... making us see if we want to the sometimes lighthearted, sometimes more dramatic movements of the waves back and fourth through the flows of time... ❣️

Love and beyond for this fragrance!! Funny how nobody said it before... this perfume smells like Play-Doh, just sparklier and cherry-er. Foremost this is a lactonic sweet fragrance, which comes from the Praline; with a deliciously creamy musk envelope from the Cashmere Wood; fruity (not citrusy but rather cherry like) from the Mandarin and the Orange Blossom which are masterfully blended with the Saffron; vanillic obviously from the Vanilla; and with an amazing white flower aura from the Jasmine Sambac. Aromatic, creamy, fruity, white flowery, and altogether amazing!!! Completely unisex, and wearable in any weather, daytime or nighttime, but preferably on a special occasion. Performance is quite good, projection is strong for 2 hours, becoming moderate for 1 more hour, and intimate but present for the rest of the journey which will last for about 8+ hours. My current favorite from Nishane!!!

Tempfluo is such a unique and beautiful fragrance, truly one of a kind. It opens with a zesty freshness of mandarin and bergamot, accompanied by delicate white florals of orange blossom and jasmine. An almost plastic/metallic sweetness creeps in as the saffron combines with the white florals, which is actually a surprisingly stunning combination. In the dry down this sweet and fresh metallic scent profile is made even sweeter with vanilla and praline, while also gaining a soft and fluffy base of cashmere and cedar. It’s such a unique and stunning combination of notes which is perfect for the spring. The performance with this scent is really good, especially for a relatively fresh fragrance. This might be my favourite release from Nishane’s Time Capsule line - it’s such an interesting perfume with so much depth and quality.

blindbought it and it came and i was so suprised man. I love nishane i have 3 of their fragrances now and they are just one of those houses that you can tell is high quality. The saffron is like a smooth nice saffron paired well with the cashmere wood. Could be an all year fragrance but i think the sweet spot is in the fall when the leaves start turning yellow orange and red. Its a smooth mandarin and candy like aspect to it on the opening. But the dry down is so much better. I feel like for a lady who is a bit younger like 20-30 this is amazing and then for a guy this is also perfect as just a chill fall day sprayer

If Libre Intense/ Libre Le Parfum is a black dress and heels girl, Nishane Tempfluo is a black dress, thigh boots and leather jacket girl. Such a sexy fall/ winter spiced caramel orange blossom scent. In comparison to Libre Le Parfum, Tempfluo is spicer with that heavy dose of saffron. The saffron is so strong I almost get a tiny bit of airy leathery vibe from it. You almost think you’re imagining but it will appear randomly throughout the wear. Projection and longevity is typical of Nishane...lasts into the next day and until you wash your clothes. 10/10
