Costume National compatible - Homme Parfum 100 ml

Product Information

While it might not be to everyone’s tastes, I adore the melange of spices, the greenness of the cardamom and vetiver, the grapefruit blast which adds some freshness despite the heavy profile, and the rich, creamy depth of the sandalwood, patchouli, and labdanum in the base. Overall, the presentation for Costume National Homme Parfum is minimalistic but very well done. Performance However, if you are a lover of spices like myself, Costume National Homme Parfum might just be heaven for you. The first thing you can perceive is a nice intense aromatic note, which also brings a small spicy touch and gives the top note something pleasantly soft and is due to the cardamom, which by the way is also dimmed in the first part of the heart note, but still very well perceptible.

I EDP: "When I wear it, I feel like a queen! With this warm and intense trail it's always a safe bet!" - Mary Cyber Garden EDP: a fresh, enveloping scent inspired by a futuristic garden where rare and unusual notes create a vibrant balance. This perfume may not be a real crowdpleaser, but I think a lot of people would like this particular fragrance. Then again, taste will always be personal. It most certainly got my attention and I will definitely try this again, maybe even buy a small bottle for winter. Costume National Homme, released in 2009 and composed by master perfumer Dominique Ropion, is no exception, having grown into a cult classic over the years. Costume National Homme Parfum, a 2020 edition, is advertised as a deeper, richer, and more refined variation on the original. It’s clear to me that a lot of raw materials have been used in this formulation. According to the brand, the fragrance utilizes several extracts from Laboratoire Monique Remy in Grasse, which specializes in the production of premium raw materials. It is also concentrated at 25%, which is quite a lot for a designer perfume. All this is to say that Costume National Homme Parfum is a very high quality product, and that is reflected in the price.Over the years, Dominique Ropion has worked with several fragrance brands, including Christian Dior, Thierry Mugler, Lancôme, Givenchy, Issey Miyake, Yves Saint Laurent, Paco Rabanne, and The Body Shop. He joined International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. in 2000, where he continues to create groundbreaking fragrances. Homme is a wonderful companion for the spring, autumn and winter months for the slightly younger, or slightly young-at-heart gentleman looking for an aromatic, flattering fragrance that stands out a little from the crowd. When I first read about this perfume I really wanted to try it. Soon after that I tried Zirh's Ikon, which I liked except for one note. It gave it a strange vibe, making it unwearable to me. Somehow I thought it may have been the cloves, which scared me a bit to try this fragrance. The bottle color is deep, dark green, not quite “bottle green” because of a yellowish, ambery tint to it. The color matches perfectly with the scent of the fragrance and looks beautiful, especially when you pass light through it. The original was similarly spicy, but absolutely dominated by cloves. Cloves and I have a difficult relationship; I do enjoy some fragrances with cloves in them, such as Portrait of a Lady and Musc Ravageur, both by Frederic Malle, but on the whole I really don’t particularly enjoy cloves, either in fragrance or in food. The original also had a funky, herbal thyme note which clashed with the other notes in an unappealing manner, in my opinion.

When I wear Costume National Homme Parfum I feel calm, sophisticated, centered, and like a hot, spicy hunk of man. And who doesn’t wanna smell like that? One is that this is a very high quality, high performance, designer fragrance with a niche character. I vastly prefer this over the original eau de parfum, which I tried a number of times but never could convince myself to enjoy. First on the list would be the original Costume National Homme EDP. It’s still readily available, but usually goes for at or around the same price as the parfum on online discounters. So unless you really love the original (and some do indeed prefer it to the parfum) , I personally would opt for the parfum instead.Homme’s spice notes never fade away but as the fragrance dries down, the scents of patchouli, cedar/sandalwood and leather-lite become apparent. The extreme dry-down of Homme smells of soft, plush, and lightly spiced amber.
