Soul

Costume National Soul is a bold, warm, and deeply aromatic fragrance with rich spiced oud, sweet amber, and smooth vanilla notes, creating an intense and sensual profile that leans heavily masculine while being wearable by all genders. The opening features a sparkling burst of bergamot, cardamom, and pink pepper, which quickly settles into a dense, earthy base dominated by oud, leather, and patchouli. The drydown unfolds into a velvety blend of vanilla, ambergris, and patchouli, offering a soft, sweet warmth that lingers for hours. It exudes an almost theatrical presence, with strong sillage and lasting longevity, making it ideal for colder months and evening wear. Despite its recognizable resonance with YSL M7 Oud Absolu and Armaf Niche Oud, Soul stands apart through its richer, more balanced sweet-woody composition. The scent evolves smoothly—though some note the transition can feel linear or predictable—and gains depth over time. Its protracted sillage makes it a statement piece, especially in intimate settings or romantic situations, yet it doesn't flood space like a beast, balancing power and refinement. It feels well-crafted, with high-quality ingredients and an elegant, niche-level finish.
