Costume National Scents 2009 EDP
Homme
Costume National Scents Homme is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Dominique Ropion. Homme opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Cinnamon, Clove, and Thyme, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Labdanum. Costume National Scents's Homme carries a Statement verdict, a spicy-led wear.
A spicy, woody powerhouse from Dominique Ropion that divides opinion but universally performs. You'll either adore its distinctive clove and cinnamon warmth or find it utterly overwhelming. Definitely not a blind buy.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Best Occasions
Its potent projection and distinct spicy character, particularly the strong clove note, make it a bit much for office environments. However, its sophisticated warmth is perfect for date nights, formal events, and colder casual outings where its strong presence can shine without overwhelming a confined space.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this
