CoSTUME NATIONAL
Written by James Muscat on . Posted in launches
Minimal, chic, rock ‘n’ roll
Costume National Scents was set up in 2001, right in the heart of
the namesake Fashion House that was created in 1986 by Ennio Capasa, who
combined Japanese minimalism with Italian tailoring approach.
unique fragrances
Costume National Scents’ olfactive identity is built around a modern soul and ‘Made in Italy’ DNA: its tailor-made approach follows the canons of the artistic tradition of high-end perfumery, whilst creating a unique collection of structured and modern fragrances.
The scents’ supreme quality is derived from the Master Perfumers’ exceptional knowledge creating beauty in each and every collection, and from the pureness of the fine raw materials used. The mantra: to reinterpret the noblest ingredients of perfumery – amber, sandalwood, saffron, jasmine, ylang-ylang, patchouli – in elegant and contemporary essences; a timeless style that leaves a mark in the present.
The Scents
scent intense
Scent Intense is an original reinterpretation of one of the noblest ingredients in perfumery –Amber – owing its unmistakable sillage to a deep ambery-leathery harmony.
Magnetic and sensual, the fragrance opens with the elegance of bergamot and jasmine tea. In the heart, the alluring and mysterious oriental rose plays with the luminosity of mother-of-pearl hibiscus and jasmine, giving life to intriguing contrasts. The dry-down, dominated by the scent of leather and the blend of amber and woods, unveils Scent Intense’s irresistible punk-rock soul.

Homme Parfum
HOMME Parfum interprets perfection in a sophisticated style; an aesthetic balance in which creative avant-garde meets the purity of modern lines in sensual harmony.
The freshness of the citrus notes of grapefruit and bergamot oil combine in perfect harmony with the spicy extract of the LMR cardamom.
In the heart, the essence combines the intensity of the LMR cinnamon with the extract of a trio of different types of LMR vetiver and mellows it with the delicate notes of the LMR patchouli oil.
A woody cocktail of musk, sandal and LMR cistus labdanum accentuates the depth of the fragrance, creating a harmonious warm accent right through the base notes. This is an authentic celebration of the eclectic soul of the modern man.

I
I conveys vigour, depth and elegance, revealing an eclectic soul. It opens fiercely, thanks to the spicy and opulent top notes of oil of bergamot, saffron and thyme. The deep and enigmatic heart evokes the glorious history of this land with hints of cistus labdanum, geranium and LMR lavender.
The proud and resolute enveloping base notes reveal an elegant and fearless nature, thanks to the notes of leather, ambroxan and cedarwood. In synergy with the J fragrance, it forms part of an olfactory journey that goes from East to West and defines the CoSTUME NATIONAL identity, marking the crossroads where past and future intersect.

J
J is the sophisticated and proud glance of a geisha. As a delicate and graceful silk kimono, it expresses the elegance and charm of the Land of the Rising Sun’s thousand-year culture.
Its fresh and sparkling top notes of LMR neroli oil, mandarin and lime are reminiscent of Japanese creativity whilst evoking a basic material element: water.
The heart notes — an explosion of cherry blossom, orange flower absolute and rose bloom — are filled with brightness, gentleness and elegance. The captivating base notes, a harmony of cashmere wood, rice powder and musk, recall the depth of traditions.
