Costume National Scent Intense Eau de Parfum Spray 100 ml

Product Information

Free d’Homme EDP: a metropolitan and nonconformist scent, thanks to a mix of citrus notes, Cypriol, Saffron and Incense! Personally, I think the relatively muted performance actually works in its favor, giving it an irresistible, “come hither” kind of quality that would make it ideal for dates or close encounter scenarios. Value For Money Soul Parfum EXT: a pure and elegant unisex oriental fragrance! The Amber heart creates a unique, noble and romantic olfactory symphony. 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. Master perfumers, with their great skill, create authentic works of artin each of the brand's collections, using high qualityingredients. The main goal of Costume National is to give new lifeto precious ingredientsfrom the perfumery art, such as amber, sandalwood, saffron, jasmine, ylang-ylang, and patchouli, transforming them into elegantand modernfragrances that maintain a timeless style. A brand with a refined taste, which is also reflected in the iconic designof its flasks, sculpted following a plaster modelcreated by the founder himself. There’s no doubt: these flacons represent a manifesto of styleand beauty, capable of satisfying both the eyeand the noseof the most demanding enthusiasts! 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. I think that Scent Intense is a very appealing fragrance on a personal level, but I don’t think that it would work for everyone. Want to know more?

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.

Beneath the strong, almost masculine notes, a sweet, milky jasmine note rises from the darkness bringing with it an interesting coziness. But CoSTUME NATIONAL fragrances appeared on the shelves in my city again, and I decided to recall the old days. As I tried it, I expected disappointment, since when I first tried Scent Intense, I didn't have such a rich olfactory experience, plus the old releases are always better... I have worn it in pretty much all types of weather except for hot and humid summer days and it has worked like a charm. It smells equally at home in the cold as it does in warm (not hot) weather. I think that you could pull this off in spring, autumn, winter, and on summer nights, so long as it’s not too hot. It would be ideal to wear, however, in spring and autumn. 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. 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.

For an amber fragrance (which are usually cold-weather exclusive), Scent Intense is actually pretty versatile. As far as gender/age are considered, I find this to be an entirely unisex and ageless fragrance. I think it would smell particularly sexy on female skin, though I wear it myself without issue. And though it doesn’t strike me as a mature scent, it would smell a little bit weird on a teenager; twenty and up is probably the best bet. When To Wear It Scent Intense smells like amber, but not aquatic and salty (which I prefer), rather it'ssweet and woody. The amber is so soft, smooth and fluid that it's easy to imagine a huge drop of amber resin flowing down a sawn tree. It is incredibly fragrant, smelling of sandalwood, cedar and rosewood at once, though it's difficult to imagine such a hybrid.

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. Additionally, the opening to mid of the fragrance has a medicinal vibe that makes this scent truly addictive. I’m not sure where it’s coming from (maybe the interaction of the hibiscus with the amber?) but it makes this scent truly addictive. I’m definitely one of those weirdos that enjoys medicinal fragrances, though, so it might not be to everyone’s taste. However, I think that medicinal vibe is what elevates this fragrance to the next level.

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. After some time on the skin, Scent Intense gives off spice and leather notes. The smell of dried apples. And patchouli, which smells like bitter, powdery chocolate. It all blends harmoniously into the tea aroma, gradually turning it into a spicy tea with sandalwood cream aroma. Cyber Garden EDP: a fresh, enveloping scent inspired by a futuristic garden where rare and unusual notes create a vibrant balance. It's been years... Oh my God, twenty years since Scent Intense was released! Even though I didn't get it in 2002, years have passed, many perfume novelties have passed my nose, my collection of tea fragrances has greatly expanded and the bottle of Scent Intense long ago ran out. 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.

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. 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 Scent Intense EDP: "Wow, this fragrance is amazing! One spray, and I feel surrounded by an incredible and magnetic aura!" - Elisa 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.

By sunset I was showered and wearing it again, going out again, somehow repeating without intention or want, the night before, a chance encounter with a different person on a different street in a different place.
