TEMPERATURES is the next-gen fragrance brand combining traditional masculine notes with fresh and unexpected ones to transform men's experience of scent so that it feels more vibrant and better suited to helping the wearer express facets of themselves.
For Gen Z men, fragrance has evolved beyond something to spritz occasionally into a genuine form of self-expression, with a daily scent becoming as intentional and identity-defining as the clothes they wear or the music they listen to. Both of TEMPERATURES' debut fragrances can be found in a Discovery Set that spotlights redefined masculine scents. While NON VANILLA is a fresh, elevated reimagining of vanilla that features citrus, pink pepper, cedarwood and sandalwood, BERGAMOT DUST explores duality. These innovative scents were developed with Thomas Fachon, a perfumer at the AI fragrance company Osmo.
