Scent

How can a scent feel so potent yet so gentle at the same time? Like a beautiful woman practicing taichi with a sword - it seems effortless but nonetheless very powerful. For me, the beauty and gentle strength of Scent makes it a pleasure to wear. I smell incense and faint flowers throughout. While dry woods seems to dominate at the opening this settles down balanced by notes of light tea and a drop of softening amber. On my skin it all has a light almost sparkly sillage, and very good longetivity without ever feeling heavy. Notes here might not be extraordinary, but I find the blend unique and difficult to describe by comparing with others. A favourite of mine.

ottima sintesi, molto astratta come il nome, di note floreali e ambra. e infatti il gelsomino e l'ibiscus non sono distinguibili, tantomeno il tè, ma nel loro insieme danno una connotazione fresca al fondo ambrato, che non sprofonda mai in sensazioni resinose ma rimane leggero e gradevole. si tratta di un profumo assolutamente minimale, quasi chimico, tanto che ricorda l'odore di alcoli altobollenti, ma che restituisce una freschezza verde, come di cocktail ghiacciato. somiglia molto alla versione intense (che io preferisco, perchè è più nera, gotica) ma qui predomina l'aspetto luminoso. ottimo.

So are Costume National being ironic, or nihilistic, or are they just playing bossy by giving this scent the name Scent? Honestly i don't care. Both scents - this and the intense one - are hilariously amazing. This Scent is more floral and lighter, but it does not mean it's not as good. The amber is warm and welcoming, but it is the jasmine that gives it the decadent aura of dirt that i just can't resist. Perverse and animalic in a floral way with a quality sandalwood base. Yep, this is how a Scent should scent. *****

Maybe I’ve been going a little crazy with my heavy amber perfumes lately but this doesn’t strike me as an AMBER. More like...a sweet tea scent with amber facets. To me this is a little fruity, a little spicy, and I definitely smell peach, cinnamon and other spices in here even though they’re not listed. It reminds me Histoires De Parfum’s “1969” but less sweet. Scent dries down to a refreshing spiced tea fragrance. It’s not a love, but I find it quite nice and will enjoy my little dabber bottle.

i got this at a discount store, it was cheap so i bought it! after trying it at home, I LOVE IT! i think it smells special, love the drydown, jasmine and hibiscus note. and besides, you won't find too many people sharing the same fragrance as yours! it's unisex, but actually more of the feminine side i must say. well, as a guy, i don't have to be too hard on having to be too masculine, it's playful, it's fun, just smile and enjoy the SCENT. LOVE IT! -Mr. Almond-
