Hotel Costes is exclusive, hip, over-the-top and located in the heart of Paris.
Their house perfume — in its deep red bottle — became an immediate cult classic upon its introduction in 2004
.
We receive more requests for this super-complex, super-chic fragrance than any other. We have searched high and low for a blend we loved with no luck…until
Now! (If you’ve never smelled the real thing, you’re in for an amazing
treat!).
Our blend opens with spicy green top notes of natural cypress, basil, cardamom, lemon, nutmeg, black pepper, and cinnamon
oil. The top notes give way to a spicy floral middle of rose and
jasmine along with essential oils of lavender and clove bud. The bottom
notes of this fragrance — which create an amazing accord that lasts and
lasts — consist of essential oils of sandalwood, cedarwood, and
patchouli, sweetened with a bit of musk. This fragrance is truly
unique — it’s almost like three fragrances in one as a medley of
bright, green essential oils give way to an irresistible spice blend,
which then leads to a long-lived, soapy clean, woodsy drydown.
This fragrance struck me as different when I first smelled it, I immediately picked up on the notes of cardamom and black pepper. I was
not sure what all the fuss was about…until I put it down. I could not
forget it and was drawn back to pick it up and re sniff about a hundred
times. It is as haunting as it is beautiful. I am a fragrance addict
to be sure, but this is truly love. ❥
Due to the cost of pure essential oils this fragrance is a bit more costly to use in candles. (Running about an additional $12.00 for our
largest size candle-we have decided to keep the price increase amount
to what will cover our cost only, so this will allow more of our
friends and customers to enjoy this wonderful fragrance! ).
I wear mine in our new Apothecary style perfume that will be listed very shortly…stay tuned. ![]()
Love, Laughter & Candlelight!
