About This Perfume
Scent Intense Parfum by CoSTUME NATIONAL is a Oriental Woody fragrance for men. The nose behind this fragrance is Claire Liégent. Top notes are Green Tea and Bergamot; middle notes are Jasmine and Hibiscus; base notes are Myrrh, Amber, Patchouli and Woody Notes. The original sillage of Scent Intense is proposed in a special edition: a parfum with an extremely exotic and intense trail treasured in a luxurious box. The composition of the original Scent Intense EDP has been revised with an increase in the concentration alongside the infusion of a rare and precious ingredient: myrrh extract of the highest quality.The resulting essence is more sensual and exotic, indulging the senses with its captivating, deep and mysterious shades. It opens with refined notes of green tea and bergamot, merging into a heart of jasmine and mother-of-pearl hibiscus flower. The iconic bottle is Ennio Capasa’s sculpture reproduced in black glass; however, the bottle is now enriched with a gold hot-stamped logo. This elegant velvety box reveals a secret: a precious key holder with three glass spheres -- one of which is decorated with Swarovski -- that is inspired by the ancient tradition of Japanese geishas.
