Costume National Supergloss

In this review
In a world where fragrance often screams for attention, Costume National’s Supergloss EDP whispers—then lingers. Released in 2021, this is not a perfume that demands to be noticed; it invites you to lean in, to discover its layered, almost tactile beauty. The name itself evokes the high-shine finish of a lip gloss or the glossy pages of a fashion magazine—perfectly aligned with the brand’s cool, minimalist aesthetic.
Supergloss is the brainchild of legendary perfumer Dominique Ropion, a master of modern florals. Here, he crafts a fragrance that feels both familiar and utterly new: a powdery, fruity floral with a synthetic edge that mirrors the glossy, artificial perfection of a curated Instagram feed. It’s a scent for the woman who navigates the city with quiet confidence, her presence felt in the trail of osmanthus and rose she leaves behind.
But Supergloss is more than a pretty face. Its performance is impressive—eight hours of longevity with a moderate sillage that won’t overwhelm a dinner party. It’s a chameleon, equally at home in a sunlit spring garden or a candlelit autumn evening. As a trend analyst, I’ve watched this fragrance quietly build a cult following among those who crave sophistication without pretense. Let’s dive into what makes Supergloss so compelling.
