In the expanding Costume National perfume portfolio there are scents both dark and brooding, and those that are light and sheer... Scent Gloss (a feminine fragrance launched in 2004) brings a whole other dimension to the Costume National universe! Just as the name suggests, it brings a flash of light to the line... the fork-lightning flare of light bouncing off black patent leather; the zig-zag of luminescence on a lip-glossed smile! Scent Gloss is very girly, and quite simply radiant!

Composed with three starring notes – purple orchid, tender rose and white musk - Scent Gloss is the embodiment of seduction... a dazzling floral bouquet with glistening fruity undertones that unquestionably delight and enchant. This offering from the iconic Italian fashion house is a favorite with women who wish to stand a head and shoulders above the others... it totally commands attention!

Scent Gloss is incredibly versatile and suited for any occasion - from date night to wedding day! Much like Costume National's unique and extraordinary fashions, Scent Gloss is quite unlike any other out there.

Any perfumisto worth his or her salt can attest to the proliferation of Oud perfumes flooding the market in recent years. A pungent oil extracted from the fungus-riddled heartwood of the Aquilaria tree, oud has a distinct scent profile which is generally regarded as two parts pigpen and one part woody/balsamic nirvana! It has been used for millennia in Middle Eastern perfumery, and was first introduced to the Western world with YSL's M7 in 2002. The trick (and challenge) in creating an exceptional oud perfume is to harness its polarizing barnyard characteristics and to masterfully blend it with other quality ingredients. In 2012, Italian accessory and perfume maestro's Acqua di Parma did just that with their unisex launch Oud Intense Cologne Concentrate.

An elegant and sophisticated creation, this perfume opens with a sparkle of citrus which ignites an orange fire in the scent's flight. Moments later, the oud note already makes its presence known... rising and spreading laterally through the composition. It is supported by aromatic coriander and fragrant amyris wood – a tree native to the Americas. It feels rich, commanding and expensive. Of course with Acqua di Parma perhaps best known for their exceptional leather accessories, warm leather notes and musks have been woven into the foundation of the perfume. The sum of all ingredients feel woody, musky, ambery and as if imbued with incense.

Complex and luxurious, Oud Intense Cologne Concentrate is at the pinnacle of Acqua di Parma's perfume holdings. It speaks of lavishness and opulence, and creates a distinguished mantle around all those who wear it. Experience it for yourself.

Creed was allegedly founded in London in 1760 and built their name producing perfumed products for the Royal courts of Europe, so they are clearly no novice when it comes to conquering the world! Bois du Portugal – a rather modern fragrance given their history - was created in 1987 and has remained one of the house's mainstay masculines. Inspired by the fragrant plantations of Portugal, this Woody Oriental scent for men has a timeless, ageless charm.

The flight of Bois du Portugal enchants with brisk bergamot and aromatic lavender... components that speak of the classic cologne compositions of days gone by. A nucleus of dry vetiver, fragrant cedar and creamy sandalwood jettison this scent into a staunchly masculine territory. The sum of its components feels stately, gentlemanly and refined.

Bois du Portugal – despite having its roots planted firmly in yesteryear – is a scent that has it all... a sense of rugged beauty, and a hint of tender familiarity. Bois du Portugal would be the perfect wedding scent for a bridegroom with meticulous grooming, or better still, a man whose fondness for tradition (but without the stiffness) is a keenly-regarded attribute. In a nutshell, it's resolutely tasteful and dignified... even if you're not!
