CoSTUME NATIONAL SCENTS Homme Eau De Parfum 50 ml

Timeless elegance meets the avant-garde, minimalist and metropolitan style of the Costume National man in Homme; reflecting the dynamism of urban life, combining it with the refinement of exquisite and unexpected ingredients. An original and charming fragrance where timeless citrus notes, unusual spices and mysterious woods blend together giving life to an equilibrium that breaks the boundaries between classicism and modernity.

The bottle is an iconic design object: it is the reproduction in glass of Ennio Capasa’s sculpture that was inspired by the solidity of the male body, exuding strength, character and majesty.

The Fragrance
Homme is the fragrance of a man with impeccable taste, who prefers a neutral colour palette and loves being surrounded by unique objects, the pursuit of absolute quality and design. His innate elegance is never boasted and is the result of a refined attitude towards beauty, expressed in every facet of his essence. Homme is timeless elegance; a merino wool overcoat; a byword for sophistication. The eau de parfum opens with fresh top notes of bergamot, grapefruit and cardamom. The heart reveals a distinctive nature, thanks to an unexpected mix of LMR* cinnamon of Grasse, thyme and cloves. In the base notes, patchouli, sandalwood and labdanum lay bare the depth and mystery of the male character. This is magnetic alchemy of seduction, mystery and timeless elegance.

Distinctive note: CINNAMON (CINNAMON ESSENTIAL ™)

SMELL: spicy, woody

LMR Cinnamon Essential™ introduces a perfect and delicate balance between spicy and delicate floral notes; the quintessence of cinnamon with an unmistakable sillage. Created in 2015, compared to a classic cinnamon oil LMR Cinnamon Essential™ is more natural and elegant, being less dry and earthy. It gives body to fragrance and is the perfect base for cosmetic products.

EXTRACTION: the prestigious LMR laboratory in Grasse obtains the cinnamon essence through three exclusive physical processes: hydro-distillation, decanting and absorption/desorption of the bark. The aromatic compounds of the cinnamon water are also mixed with the essential oil, enhancing the aroma.
