Homme
Eau de Parfum
by Costume National



The Scoop
Cool, calm and collected.

The perfect poet, discerning connoisseur, Dominique Ropion is an oxymoron all of his own. Master of his art, still modest in spite of his success, he has an additional quality, one that is almost outdated these days: his kindness. How does that fit in with perfumery? Only because it makes his talent even more remarkable… Dominique Ropion trained at the legendary Roure Bertrand Dupont laboratory before going to work with Jean-Louis Sieuzac, one of the perfumery world’s great technicians. His work is special because of the tension between precision and freedom. Homme is a modern and mysterious scent. The fragrance opens with a very fresh head made of grapefruit, cardamom and bergamot. The essence then plunge into the spicy heart of Cinnamon, Thyme and Cloves. In the end, Patchouli, Sandalwood and Labdanum gave depth and warm the general accord. Timeless yet seductive.

LOVE this scent. The first time my husband tried it I went wild. It's fresh, citrus overtones are delightful and it lasts for ages. To all those who hate it - all the more for me!

It has a nice combination of spices to start with, clove and cinnamon that are intertwined almost to be indistinguishable. I am getting a vanillic dry-down, so I am not sure about this one after all.

Is this where male scents are headed? Gross. I agree with the assessment of the ashtray vibe in this one. Smells like a female smoker's apartment after a night of burning vanilla scented candles with her college friends. Really people?

Just wonderful, though my nose and skin seem to differ from others. For me this is a creamy and complex sandalwood with an almost coconut-like base layer and gentle, soapy overtones that are bright without being sharp (the bergamot and grapefruit under control); yummy but unsentimental. I like this better than the (also wonderful) Serge Lutens, which I find less interesting and too sweet. Great staying power.

And....Richard from Gaithersburg-YOU my friend are getting a date wearing this perfume. I think the other 2 reviewers are straight out of luck. I do a double take to any guy who smelled like this!!

LOVE IT!! I have two problems though. First, that bottle???? Seriously? its soooo ugly. Who would know such a treasure lay inside. I wouldnt have even sampled this if it didnt come in that sample pack...and Costume National 21 is one of my favorites! Second, why are we still using Homme in perfume titles? We aren't at Macys. I feel like anyone shopping here knows that its all up for grabs...masculine, feminine, unisex...whatever. We like what smells good on us. Im a young (ish) girl and I WANT TO SMELL LIKE THIS...but Im having a hard time paying money for anything with that name or bottle. Nonetheless-Love it!

An ashtray with the residuals of smoked clove cigarettes, mixed with a bit of women's face powder, and cheap vanilla hand lotion from Walgreens. A man's scent? OK, whatever you say.

Fabulous, Simply Fabulous...Another one that is on it's way to me right after wearing the sample vial. I LOVE this fragrance the moment I put it on! I absolutely disagree with the previous review, I do not detect any feminine qualities/components whatsoever; Costume National Homme is full-on masculine! This fragrance is somewhat linear, it starts out with tobacco, woods and spice and stays this way until the dry down stage and then it morphs into a powdery incense. It reminds me of two other fragrances, Aedes de Venustas' roomspray and Christian Lacroix Tumulte but with a smoother controlled edge. The sillage on this scent is moderate to strong, so use sparingly. Costume National Homme is a wonderful fragrance for an evening out, a board meeting or a date...it is very masculine, urbane, classy and smooth also a black-tie cologne. I highly recommend this cologne...A DEFINITE MUST BUY!

I was expecting something quite masculine from the descriptions. However, when i spritzed it on it reminded me of all the other CN fragrances. It has this feminine quality to it. It lasts really long, but it was too feminine. I had 5 women in my office do a sniff test on my wrist...one of them said I reminded her of her friend Anna. See for yourself.
