Costume National Scents Homme is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Dominique Ropion.

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.

About

Costume National Homme opens with an invigorating burst of sharp grapefruit and piquant cardamom, quickly giving way to a heart dominated by a strong, aromatic clove and warming cinnamon, tempered by a hint of thyme. The dry down mellows into a creamy, resinous base of labdanum and rich sandalwood, with an earthy whisper of patchouli. This scent is a journey from bright spice to deep, comforting warmth.
