Overall impression
Tempfluo (its name means “time flows” in Esperanto) is the luminous gourmand-floral of Nishane’s Time Capsule trio. Perfumer Anne Flipo sets off a zesty mandarin-bergamot sunrise with a golden thread of saffron, then lets the fragrance drift into a creamy praline-vanilla sunset over warm cashmere woods. The extrait-strength formula (30 %) feels like a day captured in fast-moving snapshots—bright, edible, and subtly woody all at once.

Scent journey
-
Opening (0 – 15 min) – A sparkling splash of bergamot and juicy mandarin evokes chilled citrus sorbet, while saffron adds a warm, honey-laced glow and hints at the gourmand heart to come.
-
Heart (15 min – 2 h) – Jasmine sambac and orange blossom fold in like silk ribbons, their white-floral brightness sweetened by a nutty, dessert-style praline that never turns cloying.
-
Dry-down (2 h +) – Vanilla melts into plush cashmere wood and dry cedar shavings. The result is creamy-clean, lightly woody, and addictively smooth—think sun-warmed cookie dough resting on polished wood.
