Fresh · Floral · Fruity
Costume National Scent Intense is a unisex fragrance that moves from a fresh, floral start into a sweet, spicy and leathery base, suited to autumn and winter evenings.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn, followed by winter and spring, with summer well behind. It leans towards night-out and evening wear, though leisure and daily use also get votes. Feminine and masculine votes are close, so it sits comfortably on either side.
Green tea, bergamot and cardamom give a clean, lightly spiced opening. Hibiscus, rose and jasmine sambac bring a floral, slightly fruity softness to the heart. The base of patchouli, leather, vanilla, ambergris and sandalwood dries down sweet, woody and earthy.
