About This Perfume

This eau de parfum is best in spring, summer and fall and is a daytime scent. It suits date nights. Released in 2004.
Wearers report that it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.

Costume National is the fragrance arm of the Italian fashion house of the same name, the line's aesthetic runs spicy, woody, leathery and resinous rather than the sunny-citrus Italian default. The 15 live pieces on Scendira average .01 and skew Woody / Spicy / Gourmand by scent-family. Prices span $33-$146 (average $92), accessible-niche band. Standout live pieces: Costume National I ($99.44,.40, spicy saffron tea with leathery cedar), Soul ($146.24,.26, spicy leather jacket with resinous oud smoke), Costume National Homme ($99.44,.25, spiced grapefruit citrus, dry sandalwood, sweet resin), Scent Intense ($79.55,.22, dark rose tea, cardamom, leathery warmness), and 21 ($111.14,.14, warm resinous wood, honeyed spice, soft musks). Best read as Italian-fashion-house niche with a leather-spice signature: CN I and Soul are the anchors.
