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. Additionally, the performance, price, and presentation make this one almost a no brainer. If you are looking for a unique amber fragrance for a decent price, look no further – you’ve found it.

The cap is the typical Costume National cap, which fits very snugly onto the atomizer and is a lot smaller than typical fragrance bottle caps. Three to four sprays on skin and fabric give me around eight to ten hours of solid longevity, and more on fabric. Beyond that, the fragrance doesn’t really evolve or change much, and that’s just fine by me, because the scent you get here is warm, smooth, inviting, and quite elegant. It’s a very relaxing, almost spa-like scent (something I often get from tea-infused fragrances), that reminds me of going to hot springs in the tropical south of Taiwan. 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. Soul Parfum EXT: a pure and elegant unisex oriental fragrance! The Amber heart creates a unique, noble and romantic olfactory symphony.J EDP: a tribute to Japanese tradition with a modern twist. The fragrance combines fine ingredients with typical Japanese delicacy, creating an ethereal and luminous fragrance. Costume National is a niche perfumerybrand founded in 2001by Ennio Capasa, combining Japanese minimalismwith the Italian sartorial approach to create wonderful and original artistic perfumes.Costume National fragrances have an innovative soul, a modern identity, and a strong connection with Italy and the artistic traditionof high perfumery. These unique scents are created following a contemporaryand essentialstyle, which is reflected in the high qualityand purity of the raw materials used. 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. The most similar fragrance to Scent Intense would probably be Scent, also by Costume National and also released in 2002. Scent Intense is of course a flanker of the original scent, so they are alike in that they both feature amber, tea, hibiscus, jasmine, and wood. Scent Intense, of course, adds vanilla, leather, and spice to the mix. There was also, for a time, a Scent Intense Parfum, which added myrrh, but it seems that it is no longer available.

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. Scent Intense, is not only an intensified version, but an entirely different composition altogether. I immediately detected the patchouli in the opening which had a rather dusty and leathery feel to it. For an amber fragrance (which are usually cold-weather exclusive), Scent Intense is actually pretty versatile. I EDP: "When I wear it, I feel like a queen! With this warm and intense trail it's always a safe bet!" - MaryThis 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. People who favor warm, spicy fragrances and amber scents, rather than fresh or “sporty” fragrances, will likely find a lot to love here. However, I think that this could also be a great “gateway drug” into niche fragrances for people who aren’t that experienced with them, since it has a niche vibe without the high price that comes with most niche fragrances, as well as just a pinch of that smooth designer sensibility. Beneath the strong, almost masculine notes, a sweet, milky jasmine note rises from the darkness bringing with it an interesting coziness. Costume National is not the cheapest designer brand, rather pricing their fragrances along the same lines as Chanel and Dior. Even at retail, Scent Intense is a worthwhile scent, providing niche quality and performance at designer prices. Scent Intense EDP: "Wow, this fragrance is amazing! One spray, and I feel surrounded by an incredible and magnetic aura!" - Elisa
