Costes 2

Hôtel Costes 2009

After the spicy sensation Costes Red, I was very curious to see how the second fragrance from this brand would smell.
So, let’s get to work.
Briefly, the rose appears in the top note.
Already massively flanked by woody-cinnamon notes.
Sweet-woody-floral is thus the opening, and immediately the fragrance is there - there is no real scent progression.
For quite a while, I smell a warm scent full of cinnamon, which remains sweet despite the guaiac wood and the other supporting notes, but pleasantly sweet, just round.
The perfect fragrance to be enchanted by the magic of the flames in front of a fireplace with your favorite person and a cup of hot chocolate.
A scent for that special moment.
Costes 2 is like a soft, warm, high-quality blanket that wraps around you and provides comfort and warmth.
(Do you notice that I like the fragrance? Probably just a little...)
:-)
It comes across as extremely unisex and, in my opinion, is a pure winter fragrance.
I think it doesn’t even fit in the autumn, because with its warming properties and this “comforting,” as it is beautifully called in English, it definitely needs winter here, preferably a snowy winter.
Nothing is intrusive here; you can hardly overdo it. It is generally more of a scent for oneself or for the person who is very close to you.
Slowly, the cozy, now also powdery scent veil fades, the cinnamon recedes, and it all ends in a sweet, spicy base.
It doesn’t last super long, but you can enjoy this beautiful feeling that the fragrance conveys for about 4 hours.
