Fruity Rose with projection

The rose is pretty prominent in this fragrance. But it's not a powdery rose. It's jammy and fruity. Fruits.... rose....a dash of oud in the dry down. Lean feminine. It definitely projects and sticks around like most Bond No. 9 fragrances. I like it.... don't love it. If you're a male who's not into fruits, rose or fragrances that lean feminine, do not purchase. I will wear it with confidence. If you like more masculine fragrances, do not purchase.

Nomad The Wanderer

This Nomad opens with a bright, fruity rose with somewhat of a sparkling effect. Quickly overtaken by a synthetic oud and subdued by the earthy notes of sandalwood and orris. Rather than drying down, it almost feels as if the composition was forced down without truly unfolding; as it got to the point very quickly. Ironically, Nomad means "wanderer". The notes here did that exactly. A vibrant start with a more neutral end, delivering a faint vanilla-amber accord and left with a familiar powdery finish. On my skin, the final phase was a sweet and dusty rose. A decent introduction to the world of niche perfumery and elegant packaging. If there is a con at all, the price point outweighs the quality. Bond's Nomad smells good, and while longevity is excellent it relies entirely on aroma chemicals.

I hate how much I love this

I never try super pricey perfume because I don’t want to fall in love with something I can’t afford, but my wife passed her sample of this on to me after she tried it and didn’t like it.

I have never received more compliments on a perfume. Some of the notes in this, like rose and blackcurrant, don’t typically get along with me, but this doesn’t smell overly floral or fruity. Instead it’s fresh, ambery, woody, slightly spicy. It has layers. The perfect blend of masculine and feminine and suitable for all seasons. Lasts ALL DAY. I love it so much and, once I use up this sample, I will probably never wear it again, because I cannot justify spending that much on a bottle.

The most mass appealing fruity oud I've ever smelled!

Personal: 9/10 – Fruity, amber, and oud-lite goodness. It's awesome and super easy to love.
Mass appeal: 8.5/10 – Fruity ambers are easy to enjoy and carry a glamorous vibe. Still, the richness may be too sweet for some.
Performance: 8/10 – Very strong projection and longevity. This clings and radiates well.
Value: 5/10 – Bond pricing is notoriously high, and while this feels luxurious, it doesn’t justify the cost compared to alternatives. But, if you find it discounted or on Reddit, it's a solid bottle.
Uniqueness: 7.5/10 – Fruity amber-oud blends are common in niche and designer lines. NoMad is VERY lovable and smooth, but not revolutionary.

SCORE: 76/100

Full bottle buy? YES, if I found it discounted. It's one of my favorite fruity ouds.
Blind buy? NO, it’s pricey so sample first. Otherwise, it's a very safe fragrance, honestly.
Recommend? YES, if you want a glamorous, ambery fruity-oud fragrance and don’t mind Bond pricing.
Date night? YES, it’s bold, sweet, and seductive enough for nighttime.
Office safe? YES, it's a bit heavy, but I think a couple sprays would still do just fine.

Pros: Loud fruity-amber presence, luxurious polish, strong performance, and smooth oud.
Cons: Overpriced, a slightly generic DNA, and performance could be better.

NoMad fits squarely into Bond’s glamorous, bold style. It's a little bit loud, very rich, and the oud and fruits blend so beautifully together that it *almost* earns its exorbitant price tag. It opens with a smooth red fruit accord, and the pear and vanilla and violet leaf almost morph into an apple note, to my nose. It's surrounded by a smooth, sweet, warm oud that's not barnyard-ey at all. The oud manifests as something a bit dry and papery, which I think is absolutely beautiful contrasted with the sweetness from the top. I think it's a beautiful blend that everyone needs to smell.

Truly a masterpiece in the world of easygoing oud fragrances. You're hard pressed to find something this mass appealing and pleasant. Highly recommend.

fruity sweet rose meets balsamic oud

A fragrance that lasts a long time!
Longevity and sillage are very good.

For me, the scent has a sensually elegant quality.
You get a beautiful sweet fruity rose here, accompanied by a gentle oud note.

Yes, the fruitiness paired with oud can remind one of La Capitale.
However, NoMad is much creamier and more softly blended, yet it does not lose its strength.

NoMad is for the rose-oud lovers among us.
A uniquely sensual, long-lasting fragrance for special occasions.

Not a blind buy product.
The bottle is not my favorite, it can easily tip over.
