Nightscape

Tempo is one of my beloveds. I went into the Ulrich Lang discovery set blind and was NOT expecting Nightscape to be so similar, but what I wasn't expecting even more was to find something that is like Tempo but even better (??????). It feels so wrong to say... but Nightscape is like Tempo with a few more facets that make it a little more sparkling (the lime and mint). No, one is not better or worse - Tempo is a little more quiet and meditative, and sometimes that's what you want - but anyone who loves Tempo should definitely check out Nightscape. Edit: More thoughts after wearing both Nightscape and Tempo a few more times - Tempo is a little more damp/humid, like walking through a mossy temperate rainforest and smelling the wet trees and earth, whereas Nightscape is more like a desert night, dry, dusty, and cool at the same time. Tempo ends up just every so slightly beating out Nightscape for me.

I didn't know I wanted a minimalist, placid patchouli until I encountered Nightscape. It begins with a lucidity that's uncommon for a 'patch,' with the closest reference being the classic Givenchy Gentleman. While Gentleman is a sonorous fanfare, Nightscape is an ambient tone, like a clear bell, perhaps due to the lime and herbs that accompany it. As the sparkle of the opening eases, it is a soft and cordial experience, cool in feel, with an underlying sensuality. Everything is sealed in a dusty, misty musk, with the dark chocolate undertones of patchouli just peeking through in its final stages. I can't emphasize enough the lightness of Nightscape, but do not mistake that for weak—it reveals the nuances of patchouli from within a sleek, modern chypre structure. It is charismatic, like someone who walks into a room and needs not say much nor take up too much oxygen, but they glow softly.

@scentnewbie. I'm a lady and I love this also. One of my favorite patchouli frags so far!

smells like fucking sex, get this shit its worth it

Spot-on description by the previous reviewer, I'm thus not going to reinvent the wheel. A love for me in terms of scent, but just a like overall because I wish that the projection was stronger. Great powdery patch and honeyed leather scent with a hint of originality. The scent would be more suited for a cozy evening, but its low sillage makes it a great choice for the office, best for Fall days. Anyways, overspraying is required! Fall days, 30+
