Costume National Scent Intense Eau de Parfum Spray 100 ml

Product Information

This is the kind of fragrance that lingers on skin for quite a while. Even when the projection dies down to a whisper, you’ll still be able to get soft reminders of the scent every here and there simply because the fragrance adheres to skin so well. I can smell the scent on my skin and on my clothes all throughout the workday, and the scent can also last through a shower. Three to four sprays gives me about two hours of soft projection and about an hour of quiet, half an arm’s length sillage.

That was my life when I wore scent intense most of the time, a time I don’t even remember that well anymore. All I remember now, through the collages of memories of venues and people and streets and words and bodies, is that when I wore this I was a god. Pop Collection EDP: Pink Grapefruit and Jasmine mingle with woody notes of Patchouli and Cashmeran, in an elegant minimalist fragrance that balances simplicity and originality.There is excellent longevity in this dark and smoky beauty. Sillage and endurance are highly praiseworthy. It is a cult fragrance, unique, luxurious and outrageous, rich and resinous, and that’s what I love about Scent Intense. A very sexy elixir that always induces naughty intent every time I wear it or smell it. It is dark in the sense that it is very amber and incensed, only slightly fruity, and is complex and intriguing at the same time. Wear it in the frosty nights of late fall and winter, it will warm you up. Despite its rather gothic approach, I find this fragrance elegant, feminine and sophisticated. Perhaps even at times a little clean and powdery. While the patchouli and amber tend to dominate this fragrance, there is also a tar-like note blended with a 'raisin-y' tobacco note that only adds to the intrigue and the warmth. I’d have to travel bleary eyed and hungover (or still drunk) as the sun rose the next morning, witnessing my semi-futile attempt to get to work on time still wearing the previous nights clothes, still smelling like scent intense.

I EDP: "When I wear it, I feel like a queen! With this warm and intense trail it's always a safe bet!" - Mary The performance of Costume National Scent Intense is solid, not too strong but not too weak either. Longevity Beneath the strong, almost masculine notes, a sweet, milky jasmine note rises from the darkness bringing with it an interesting coziness. Italian designer brand Costume National has made a name for themselves in the fragrance world with their unique, sometimes avant-garde creations. Releases like Costume National Homme (the parfum version of which I reviewed here), 21, Soul, and Cyber Garden are widely acclaimed by fragrance aficionados for their niche quality and daring scent profiles.This is not a common fragrance and will definitely not be for the Dior Sauvage or Flowerbomb crowd. I envision hippy, intellectual, and artsy types really appreciating this kind of fragrance, which I think is probably Costume National’s intended audience. As I am kind of a hippy/artsy sort of person myself, I feel that the scent accords quite well with me. Scent Intense is one of the more unique amber fragrances that I’ve tried in my fragrance journey. Most of the time, amber fragrances go one of a few ways: either the more old-school, powdery route, the new-school spicy, smoky, oud-y route, or a more vanilla-heavy gourmand route. However, I was enchanted once again, and my mind was filled with memories. I have no idea what would happen if I compared the old and new releases of Scent Intense, but I don't think the fragrance has changed. Free d’Homme EDP: a metropolitan and nonconformist scent, thanks to a mix of citrus notes, Cypriol, Saffron and Incense! As far as occasions go, you could wear this basically anytime, anywhere, though maybe not to the club. Work, dates, casual hangouts, semi-formal or formal occasions, all would be ideal situations in which to wear Scent Intense. Similar Fragrances

The milk note in the fragrance gains sweetness from amber, labdanum and tonka beans. In a few hours it seems that the milk in 21is baked milk, poured into a cedar cup, giving off an aroma as well - clean, fresh, woody, but perfectly combined with milk-amber, spicy sweetness. Overall, Costume National Scent Intense is a unique take on the amber genre that is far from typical. I think the combination of hibiscus and tea with warm amber and leather was a genius idea, and the result is a fragrance with few direct competitors.

This is more of a personal, intimate fragrance, and is quite far from beast mode. Nevertheless, it is quietly present throughout the wearing experience, and even eight hours after application I get occasional whiffs of the fragrance, even through my mask. However, it’s not overly loud or anything that will announce your presence at forty paces, and I wouldn’t want it to besides. Homme EDP: “A fresh, citrusy, woody scent that gets you going! My friends loves it, and even my wife can't resist sneaking a spray or two " - Fabrizio
