Scent

by Laurent Bruyère

Costume National Scents Scent is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2002, created by Laurent Bruyère. Scent opens with Tea, Bergamot, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Hibiscus, and dries down to a base of Leather, Vanilla, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Costume National Scents's Scent carries a Favourite verdict, a rose-led wear.

A modern classic that’s divisive in its uniqueness - a sophisticated, clean amber-tea fragrance some adore for its edgy character, while others find it a bit too strange or dated, with hints of an animalic undertone.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its moderate sillage and clean, subtle character make it highly suitable for office and casual wear, as noted by several reviewers. While elegant enough for certain date or formal settings, its unique and somewhat polarising nature means it's not a universal crowd-pleaser for every formal event.

About

Scent opens with a bright spark of bergamot and spicy cardamom, quickly softened by an aromatic tea note. The heart reveals a luminous blend of rose, delicate hibiscus, and jasmine, creating a subtly floral aura. It settles into a warm, dry base of sandalwood and patchouli, with a clean leather accord, a touch of vanilla, and a sophisticated, slightly animalic ambergris that lends it an intriguing edge.
