by CoSTUME NATIONAL
Costume National Homme is a rich, warm, and deeply aromatic fragrance that delivers an intense yet refined experience. It opens with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot and grapefruit, quickly giving way to a powerful blend of cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom. This spicy core is seamless and cohesive, evolving into a smooth, creamy sandalwood and labdanum base with subtle hints of patchouli. The overall character is bold, masculine, and inviting, with a forward presence that stands out in any setting. Despite frequent mentions of its vibrant projection and long wear, the scent is remarkably balanced and never becomes overwhelming. The dry down reveals a warm, slightly powdery woody texture with gentle sweetness, making it feel luxurious and well-integrated. This is not a light or airy scent. It's bold, warm, and intentionally disruptive in its presence. It suits those who appreciate spicy, gourmand compositions and are comfortable drawing attention. While it is technically unisex in many reports and associated with elegant winter wear, its intensity makes it a strong choice primarily for men seeking a distinctive, high-impact signature scent for evening or cold weather occasions.
