Fragrance information:

Sergey Gubanov is more than just a name on a bottle—it is an entire story brought from behind the scenes of the theatre into the world of perfumery.

A Russian actor, director, and producer, Gubanov breathed life into a brand that has been winning the hearts of connoisseurs of unconventional fragrances since 2015.

His creation, Costume, launched in 2016, is a true olfactory performance, with each act revealing a new facet of its character.

About Costume

This unisex fragrance in perfume extract concentration is a true gift for those seeking a balance between boldness and elegance.

Costume belongs to the spicy and woody fragrance families, and its composition is an intricate score in which every note has a role to play.

Its moderate sillage makes it an ideal companion for both everyday life and special occasions—it does not demand attention, yet leaves a memorable impression.

Who Is This Fragrance For?

Costume is for bold, creative individuals who are not afraid to stand out. It is a fragrance that becomes part of your image, highlighting your unique style, whether for a business meeting or a romantic evening.

Its noble spiciness and deep woody character make it a versatile choice for any season, though it is especially beautiful in cool weather, when you want to wrap yourself in a warm cloud.

Inspiration and Influence

Like the entire Sergey Gubanov brand, Costume is imbued with theatrical drama. This fragrance can be compared to the protagonist's costume—it sets the mood and creates an image.

It is no surprise that similar fragrances include such iconic creations as Hermès Terre d'Hermes and Salvador Dali Sunrise in Cadaquès Pour Homme.

For patchouli lovers, Demeter Vintage Naturals 2009 Patchouli also makes for an interesting comparison. Yet Costume remains distinctive, with a Russian soul and European polish.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

I can smell something woody here, as if resins are permeating the air. Warmth and masculinity intertwine, creating an elegant image. Spices sound pleasant, but there's nothing in this scent that could stand out. Everything blends into one, leaving only bitterness

A scent for men, definitely interesting. Although its pyramid is quite rich, it feels like it fits perfectly, as if you're in an expensive suit. Status, quality, and expensive - that's what I can say
