About this deal

The performance of Costume National Scent Intense is solid, not too strong but not too weak either. Longevity

The most similar fragrance to Scent Intense would probably be Scent, also by Costume National and also released in 2002. Scent Intense is of course a flanker of the original scent, so they are alike in that they both feature amber, tea, hibiscus, jasmine, and wood. Scent Intense, of course, adds vanilla, leather, and spice to the mix. There was also, for a time, a Scent Intense Parfum, which added myrrh, but it seems that it is no longer available. Despite its rather gothic approach, I find this fragrance elegant, feminine and sophisticated. Perhaps even at times a little clean and powdery. While the patchouli and amber tend to dominate this fragrance, there is also a tar-like note blended with a 'raisin-y' tobacco note that only adds to the intrigue and the warmth.Italian designer brand Costume National has made a name for themselves in the fragrance world with their unique, sometimes avant-garde creations. Releases like Costume National Homme (the parfum version of which I reviewed here), 21, Soul, and Cyber Garden are widely acclaimed by fragrance aficionados for their niche quality and daring scent profiles. This is the kind of fragrance that lingers on skin for quite a while. Even when the projection dies down to a whisper, you’ll still be able to get soft reminders of the scent every here and there simply because the fragrance adheres to skin so well. I can smell the scent on my skin and on my clothes all throughout the workday, and the scent can also last through a shower. J EDP: a tribute to Japanese tradition with a modern twist. The fragrance combines fine ingredients with typical Japanese delicacy, creating an ethereal and luminous fragrance. Scent Intense EDP: "Wow, this fragrance is amazing! One spray, and I feel surrounded by an incredible and magnetic aura!" - Elisa However, I was enchanted once again, and my mind was filled with memories. I have no idea what would happen if I compared the old and new releases of Scent Intense, but I don't think the fragrance has changed.

Scent Intense smells like amber, but not aquatic and salty (which I prefer), rather it'ssweet and woody. The amber is so soft, smooth and fluid that it's easy to imagine a huge drop of amber resin flowing down a sawn tree. It is incredibly fragrant, smelling of sandalwood, cedar and rosewood at once, though it's difficult to imagine such a hybrid.I tested Scent Intense only minutes after I tested Scent Sheer, and I must say the differences are quite obvious. Scent Intense, a 2002 release from the brand, is less spoken of, and perhaps less well regarded. Nevertheless, the fragrance has managed to stay in production for twenty years. Does it deserve to have flown under the radar? The milk note in the fragrance gains sweetness from amber, labdanum and tonka beans. In a few hours it seems that the milk in 21is baked milk, poured into a cedar cup, giving off an aroma as well - clean, fresh, woody, but perfectly combined with milk-amber, spicy sweetness.
