La comunidad de r/fragrance considera a Costume National como una marca italiana infravalorada que goza de gran prestigio, ofreciendo fragancias distintivas y de calidad con excelentes opciones unisex como Scent Intense. Aunque es elogiada por sus creaciones únicas y su hermoso empaque, la marca sufre de una distribución deficiente y visibilidad limitada en comparación con los diseñadores convencionales, aunque quienes la descubren tienden a convertirse en entusiastas leales.

Chergui es una fragancia bien elaborada pero divisiva con un perfil distintivo de tabaco polvoso que atrae fuertemente a sus admiradores pero no es universalmente amada. El consenso de la comunidad se inclina hacia lo positivo en general, aunque la mayoría está de acuerdo en que no es una compra a ciegas segura dada su carácter de nicho y su alto precio, recomendando probar primero, especialmente si vienes de familias de fragancias diferentes como Ambre Sultan.

Highly regarded by Serge Lutens enthusiasts and loyal fans
