The Signature of 21
The opening is milky and soft, brightened by bergamot and orange blossom, while saffron adds an instant warm glow. Royal jelly, olibanum and black pepper make the heart spicy and faintly smoky. The base holds oud, cashmeran, labdanum and vanilla, rich and long-lasting.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
21 is the Costume National scent we most often see leave as a gift, and that does not surprise us. The milk makes it cuddly and skin-like, yet the saffron and oud give it a dark, grown-up side. We find it at its loveliest on a cold day, in a wool coat or a white sweater. It projects calmly and remains noticeable into the evening. A modern oriental that never feels heavy.
