Posted by Robin on 21 January 2015 12 Comments

Costume National Soul

Italian house Costume National has launched Soul, a new ambery woods fragrance.

This latest fragrance Soul contains an oriental blend of very expensive ingredients and extracts. The richness and rare quality of raw materials, along with a revolutionary extraction technology create a warm, sensual, elegant and charismatic perfume. This natural orange color that shines through the transparent glass in its pure beauty.

The notes feature bergamot, cardamom, pink pepper, geranium, leather accord, old wood, amber, vanilla and patchouli.

Costume National Soul is available in 100 ml Parfum, and can be found now at Cosmania in Amsterdam, €105.

    As it’s a reasonably priced bottle of perfume – how nice that they did not totally pass on the cost of all those expensive ingredients to the paying customer 😉 Seriously though, I like the sound of it (and the bottle is nice too) so will give it a sniff.

      I will too, if I ever see it! CN is getting harder to find in the US.

    Will there ever come an end to use pink pepper? Sigh 😉

      Ha, no! I do not mind pink pepper when used properly, but I know some people hate it in any amount.

        I’m the same as you. But it seems like there haven’t been any new releases for the last 5-6 years, that didn’t use it..haha…that said, it can be a bit too much. So slow it down, perfume masters 😉

    I loved the Costume National Homme and the Costume National Scent Intense fragrances so I will pop into the store this week and give this newest release a sniff. 🙂

    I do look forward to trying this. I bought Scent Intense when it first came out – in fact, at the time it was in the women’s section (still may very well be), but it’s such a unique scent. Really enjoyed Homme, too, buying that when it first hit the shelves as well. 21 was a bit unique, too. I’m happy that all of them can be found reasonably priced online, at least the last time I checked.

    I’ll give it a sniff if I come across it. I haven’t really tried anything from Costume National. I think (last I looked, anyway) that Kuhl-Linscomb here in Houston carries them.

    Hi Robin, I called CN before going into the store and apparently he had no knowledge of a new release, haha. Always interesting as I work in fashion too and always like to know what is going on with the brand in all categories. I left my name and number and I will update you when the fragrance arrives and I have had an opportunity to smell it.
    I am happy to know that Costume National Homme is still in production. If the new scent is not a winner I will pick up another bottle of CNH.

      Ah…well, I only found it online in 1 place so it probably hasn’t even officially launched yet. Yes, do report back!

    Yesssss

    Finally a new one from CN
    I’m literally addicted by CN Homme and Scent intense so the new one will be a blind buy for sure.
