Costume National I, from CoSTUME NATIONAL was released in 2019. The perfumer behind this creation is Julien Rasquinet. It has the top notes of Bergamot, Saffron, and Thyme, middle notes of Geranium, Labdanum, and Lavender, and base notes of Ambroxan, Cedarwood, and Leather.
On first spray, with no expectations of what I was about to smell, I was taken aback just how familiar it smelled. I knew the dna instantly as I have a bottle of Layton. As it dries down, it doesn’t follow quite the same path and I have come to realise I hate ambroxan, so this is not for me.
