Costume National Scent Eau de Parfum 100ml Spray

Costume National Scent Eau de Parfum 100ml is a refined, contemporary feminine fragrance from the Italian fashion house Costume National. Launched in 2002, the composition is a sophisticated floral oriental built around mother-of-pearl hibiscus, jasmine and an enveloping vanilla-amber base — light and effervescent at the top, gradually deepening into a sensual, radiant drydown.

The story behind Scent

Costume National Scent was conceived around the idea of mother-of-pearl hibiscus — a pearlescent, almost luminous floral note. The opening pairs bergamot and green tea with a touch of cardamom, lending a polished freshness; the heart of jasmine, hibiscus and davana brings sensual floral elegance; and the warm base of vanilla, ambergris and leather gives the composition staying power and depth. The minimal black bottle reflects the brand's design DNA.

Who it's for

Scent suits women who appreciate refined, slightly conceptual floral orientals — those who reach for niche-leaning compositions like Diptyque Volutes, Maison Margiela Whispers in the Library or Frédéric Malle Le Parfum de Thérèse. It works year-round, with particular flattery in autumn and winter, and is suited to evening and special-occasion wear where its leather-amber base has room to breathe.

How to wear it

1. Apply to clean, moisturised skin so the leather-amber drydown has a stable surface to bloom from.
2. Mist onto pulse points: wrists, neck, behind the ears.
3. For a softer halo, spray once into the air and walk through it.
4. Avoid rubbing the wrists together; it bruises the delicate bergamot-tea opening.
