Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
Bought it blindly based on reviews, but the opening smells too synthetic for the price; reminds me of a cheap, stale Arabic perfume. Longevity is 9/10, but the sillage barely reaches 3/10 and projection is average. Final rating: 4/10. Don’t recommend it without trying it first.
I’m absolutely in love with this fragrance. My mom gifted it to me yesterday for Mother’s Day, and I couldn’t be happier. The box with its classic Bond n°9 presentation and Swarovski crystals is a joy to hold. The scent is spectacular: if you like roses, you’ll appreciate this work of art. It opens super fruity and sweet, but gains depth thanks to the ever-present oud. The oud is sweet, not animalic or foul; it’s gentle yet adds personality. It’s safe for a blind buy since it has no off-putting notes. Of course, you need to like oud and rose, which alongside the fruity cocktail are the stars. Out of all my Bond fragrances, Nomad is definitely my favorite so far.
The only downside is the price, totally out of this world like all the brand’s perfumes. I don’t know what Bond is smoking, but they must be high because charging nearly €500 for 100ml is insane. But if you find it on sale, don’t hesitate for a second. It’s almost a guaranteed blind buy. It’s exquisite, in every sense of the word. It’s fruity without being sticky (like those that smell like tropical juice), sweet but not cloying. The rose and oud, which are heavy notes, don’t dominate here; they balance the fruits and resins, controlling intensity and harmonizing. It’s creamy and well-balanced. It reminds me a bit of MFK’s Oud Satin Mood (that rose + oud combo), but don’t expect a dupe; it’s just a common note that will remind you of it. This Nomad is fruitier, more informal, youthful, and less refined. Yes, it’s denser than it looks, with a lot of body despite being fruity/floral. Longevity is heavy: powerful sillage for the first 3 hours (can be intimidating) and lasts over 10 hours on my skin. Almost unisex at 90%, maybe leaning slightly masculine. Versatile, but be careful: its fruity character in warm weather can kill it. It doesn’t work in the cold. I recommend it for temperate climates, where it shines. Scent: 9, Longevity: 9, Sillage: 9. Price: (€460/100ml) WTF!
Something weird happened with this perfume: I bought it and sold it quickly because it smelled like cheap body cream with nothing special. I gave it to someone close, and one day they noticed a very special scent and realized it was this one. My mind changed completely; I didn’t understand how something I disliked now makes me love it. It changed so much; now I notice that unique, special aroma. I know nothing that compares to this masterpiece. I’ve bought it again, and when it arrives, I’ll write a full review, but what a seductive and elegant perfume. Suitable for both men and women.
My friends, I’d suggest a more affordable alternative. It’s very similar to Swiss Arabian’s Shaghaf Oud; that mix of rose and wood gives it a chocolatey touch, a real delight. Try them out.
Delicious! It’s an oud and vanilla fragrance, unisex, that I liked from the first sniff. It’s very similar to Montale’s Dark Vanilla, but with less potent longevity and sillage. Given the price, I expected at least better longevity on my skin (lasts about 5 hours). I’m sticking with Dark Vanilla.
