Costume National Homme
Grapefruit and bergamot open with a citrus brightness that moves quickly before cinnamon and thyme establish the heart's character: cinnamon warm and slightly spicy-sweet, thyme sharp and herbal, the two creating a Mediterranean-spice accord reinforced by cardamom and clove.

By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit and bergamot open with a citrus brightness that moves quickly before cinnamon and thyme establish the heart's character: cinnamon warm and slightly spicy-sweet, thyme sharp and herbal, the two creating a Mediterranean-spice accord reinforced by cardamom and clove. Sandalwood, labdanum, and patchouli in the base form a dark, resinous foundation — labdanum animalic and amber-like, patchouli earthy. Costume National Homme is an unusually serious aromatic masculine for its tier — the thyme in particular distinguishes it from the cinnamon-amber pile-up of the same era. A fragrance that smells more expensive than it is.
