A modern study in elegant spice and polished woods, Homme opens with a lively crackle of grapefruit and bergamot lifted by cool cardamom, then deepens into a magnetic mix of cinnamon, thyme, and clove that hums with warmth before easing into supple sandalwood, resinous labdanum, and earthy patchouli. The result feels urbane, confident, and quietly seductive from first spray to final drydown.

Story and Positioning
Created as a signature for the impeccably dressed urban man, Homme balances sparkling citrus with refined spice and a smooth woody amber base for a timeless yet contemporary profile. It anchors the brand’s masculine line and was later interpreted in a Parfum concentration, preserving the same elegant DNA with added depth. If you enjoy spiced sandalwood with gentlemanly poise in the vein of Chanel Egoiste or the warm spice energy associated with Viktor and Rolf Spicebomb, this lands in that sophisticated space for day to evening wear in cooler weather.
Bottle and Design
Costume National Homme EDP comes in a slim hip-flask silhouette of clear, thick glass that curves gently at the corners and sits low and steady on a solid base. The sprayer is centered over a short, bright metal collar, and the smooth cylindrical cap lifts cleanly without fuss. Minimal white lettering sits low on the face, keeping the front calm and uncluttered while the pale straw-gold liquid does the visual work. The carton follows the house’s pared-back look in cool grey with a darker mid-band and crisp type, presenting the bottle with a tidy, modern reveal.
