Kintsugi Perfumes Tempo is a unisex fragrance from Kintsugi Perfumes, a Czech perfume brand that released this composition in 2025.
Tempo Eau de Parfum is built around the contrast between sparkling citrus notes, spicy nuances and a calm woody-balsamic depth.
Tempo smells energetic yet composed: the fragrance seems to set the rhythm from the very first seconds, then becomes softer, warmer and more dimensional.
Its gender positioning is unisex, so the composition may especially appeal to those looking for an expressive fragrance without a strict association with either a masculine or feminine wardrobe.
The opening accord greets you with the freshness of bergamot, mandarin and green-spicy bay leaf, while fig adds a juicy, slightly creamy facet.
The spicy heart of ginger, hinoki, neroli and sage gradually shifts the composition from a bright citrus opening to a drier, aromatic and woody character.
Tempo was created by perfumer Martin Svach.
In his interpretation, the freshness does not feel simple or fleeting: it is supported by spices, refined woods and a soft resinous base, allowing the fragrance to unfold in layers.
In terms of sillage, Tempo belongs to the category of very powerful fragrances.
This is a noticeable, expressive Eau de Parfum to choose when you want to make your presence felt, though the amount applied should be adjusted to the occasion, temperature and size of the space.
Specific recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing are not provided for this release.
Start with a small amount on clean skin, let the composition develop and, if necessary, apply the fragrance to clothing from a distance, avoiding delicate fabrics.
Tempo’s citrus-spicy character makes it especially suitable for daytime looks, business settings, trips and walks.
In cool weather, frankincense, sandalwood and musk smell denser and warmer, while during transitional seasons and on warm days, bergamot, mandarin, ginger and neroli come to the fore.
The composition combines citrus and spicy families, complemented by aromatic, woody, floral, fruity, balsamic and musky nuances.
This combination makes Tempo versatile enough for different styles: it can complement a minimalist look, a formal suit or a relaxed everyday wardrobe.
If you enjoy fresh fragrances with a pronounced character, take a look at Eisenberg Eau Fraiche.
As alternatives, you might also consider Edgardio Chilini Lemon Sorbet and Azzaro Pure Cedrat — they share an interest in citrus freshness, although Tempo stands out with its spicier heart and noticeable woody-balsamic base.
No other concentrations of Tempo are listed in the available data.
Therefore, this release is best understood as an Eau de Parfum with pronounced sillage, a fresh opening and a gradual transition to a warm, resinous, musky-woody finish.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail

The top notes open with bergamot, cardamom, fig, bay leaf and mandarin. This opening combines sparkling citrus freshness, juicy fruity softness and a dry, spicy-green facet.
The heart features ginger, hinoki, neroli and sage.
Ginger adds dynamism, hinoki creates a clean woody nuance, while neroli and sage make the transition more airy and aromatic.
