The middle notes reveal a unique combination of geranium and leather. The geranium lends a green, floral aroma, contrasting with the deep, rich smell of leather. A trace of oud adds an exotic, smoky undertone to the scent profile, making it intriguing and full-bodied.

As the perfume settles, the base notes emerge. Here the enveloping sweetness of vanilla comes forward, mellowing out the spiciness and the smoky undertones. This is closely followed by the earthy, woody scent of patchouli, which adds depth and complexity to the fragrance. The final note is ambergris, which gives a musky, marine afterglow to the perfume.

Soul Parfum EXT: a pure and elegant unisex oriental fragrance! The Amber heart creates a unique, noble and romantic olfactory symphony. Scent Intense EDP: "Wow, this fragrance is amazing! One spray, and I feel surrounded by an incredible and magnetic aura!" - Elisa Costume National worked with Dominique Ropion to create this oriental scent of a strong and unique character. The richness and rare quality of raw materials – some of them coming from the prestigious LMR Laboratory in Grasse – together with the ultimate technologies create a warm, sensual, elegant and charismatic perfume, which embodies the true soul of CoSTUME NATIONAL.This new addition to Costume National's fragrances range represents the unnecessary confirmation that the only good Costume National scents ever made where the early couple of ones composed by Bruyère – 21 and Scent Intense. It almost seems the guys at Costume National share this feeling as well, since Soul smells basically like an unneeded rewriting of Scent Intense crossed with influences from some of those contemporary Middle East cheap brands which are quite invading the market lately – brands like Arabian Oud, Lattafa, Swiss Arabian and countless of similar ones, with their nuclear, and often sweetish spicy-smoky oud and/or leather blends. Soul is for me exactly halfway all of that, and I wonder why they hired some renowned nose like Ropion for such an uninspired, clerical copy-and-paste job. Soul definitely keeps Scent Intense's peculiar bone structure of powerful, sort of dry and extremely synthetic amber-musk-fruity notes, and boringly crosses it with a smoky praline of vanilla and artificial, sort of medicinal-nutty oud with a dark shade of leathery patchouli and a greyish salty feel of ambergris. The result is basically “Scent Intense Oud & Patchouli” with a whiff of M7's trademark ambery-medicinal oud.
