Costume National - Soul Parfum Natural Spray 100 ml Black

Product Information

This new addition to Costume National’s fragrances range represents the unnecessary confirmation that the only good Costume National scents ever made where the early couple of ones composed by Bruyère – 21 and Scent Intense. It almost seems the guys at Costume National share this feeling as well, since Soul smells basically like an unneeded rewriting of Scent Intense crossed with influences from some of those contemporary Middle East cheap brands which are quite invading the market lately – brands like Arabian Oud, Lattafa, Swiss Arabian and countless of similar ones, with their nuclear, and often sweetish spicy-smoky oud and/or leather blends. Soul is for me exactly halfway all of that, and I wonder why they hired some renowned nose like Ropion for such an uninspired, clerical copy-and-paste job. Soul definitely keeps Scent Intense’s peculiar bone structure of powerful, sort of dry and extremely synthetic amber-musk-fruity notes, and boringly crosses it with a smoky praline of vanilla and artificial, sort of medicinal-nutty oud with a dark shade of leathery patchouli and a greyish salty feel of ambergris. The result is basically “Scent Intense Oud & Patchouli” with a whiff of M7’s trademark ambery-medicinal oud.

Secret Woods EDP: "I prefer to wear it in the evening, for special occasions: it has an undeniable charm that has never failed to impress me!" - Humbert 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. A dirty caramellous spicy mélange whose diabolisms is really hard to cope with. This Dominique Ropion's woody-oriental (appointed in a sort of Serge Lutens' style) is rich of precious woods, tobacco-vanille, old-leather aroma and oriental spices overall kind of "arabesque" and seasoned, a juice teleporting the wearer in the coziest/classiest of aristocratic "cultured" heavily woody/leathery ambiences. Costume National Soul is an almost visceral take on resinous amber, an hellish "taste" capturing helplessly your senses and their all at once submissive self-control. This main synthetic note appears in here sugary-resinous (caramellous spices, woodsy resins, honey), more than barely smokey (actually more properly oriented towards tobacco, a smoky-sugary take on amber/tobacco), vaguely boozy (kind of exotic rum-infused), minimally leathery (velvet vanillic leather), notable in smooth sandalwood presence and rooty bold. The main accord of dark amber, patchouli and fur-like leather is close to the Costume National Scent Intense's dominant chord (in its deep dry down), both the juices are indeed definitely darkly glamour and velvet-chic but, while the latter is misty, dandy and enigmatic, Soul smells more rounded, rural, "cozy atmosphere eliciting" and kind of seasoned, actually like something such of more intellectual and "cozy-ambience unfolding". Scent Intense is more earthy, mastered by dark patchouli, more floral-suede "infused", a less sweet noir-urban aroma basically more balanced by a mitigating crisp tea-note, on the contrary Soul is more burnt sugary-spicy and fruity (kind of peachy/plummy honeyed-resinous). I EDP: "When I wear it, I feel like a queen! With this warm and intense trail it's always a safe bet!" - MaryWith Soul Natural Spray, you can create your own signature scent that perfectly suits your personality and style. This Eau de Perfume is ideal for both everyday use and special occasions when you want to feel extra special.
