CoSTUME NATIONAL 21 is a complex, creamy slightly dirty amber. It's smooth, not a sharp or sweet nose burning amber type fragrance, more powdery than anything. There's a little hint of spices in the opening prehaps from saffron and pepper? It's a really nice opening too, complicated and exciting. The main spice is cumin and it takes a moment to develop as it settles down. I like this scent, because it's a real amber accord not like Scent or Scent Intense which to me is not a typical amber despite what other people say on here. 21 does it's own thing and is not like the rest of the stuff from this house which tends to be cool, fruity, musky and a bit odd. I lost this fragrance in the middle somewhere, it's just not my thing, the major decision I make when it comes to fragrance is 'Would I wear it?' and sadly this is not one I have any desire to wear. Still good stuff though.
