Sumptuously warm and quietly powerful, Soul Parfum opens with a bright lift of bergamot and cardamom dusted with pink pepper, then turns toward a refined heart where oud wood and a hint of leather meet cool geranium. It settles into a plush glow of ambergris, vanilla, and patchouli that feels magnetic, tailored, and enduring, ideal for evening wear and cooler weather.

Story and Positioning
Conceived to embody the essence of the house, Soul Parfum presents an oriental signature with modern polish, balancing sparkling spice and citrus over a smooth blend of oud, leather, and ambered woods. The parfum strength carries presence without harshness, creating a sophisticated trail that suits formal wardrobes and night outings. If you enjoy rich amber oud with cardamom warmth in the spirit of YSL M7 or Maison Francis Kurkdjian Grand Soir, this lives in that suave, dressed-up space with a creamier vanilla finish.
Bottle and Design
Soul is poured into a sculptural, arc-topped rectangle of clear, thick glass whose sides bow gently inward, giving the silhouette a calm, tailored posture. The warm amber liquid glows through the polished walls, while the face stays spare with the word SOUL and the house’s CoSTUME NATIONAL signature printed low and crisp. A compact black spray column sits centered on a short collar and is topped with a neat cylindrical cap that keeps the profile uncluttered. The base is broad and perfectly level, adding reassuring weight when you set it down. The presentation continues the minimalist mood in a matte black carton crossed by a bold orange band that mirrors the hue of the juice for a clean, modern reveal.
