Unconventional Beauty

Full of blossoms stands the peach tree
not every one will bear fruit,
they shimmer bright like rose foam
through blue and clouds' flight.

Like blossoms, thoughts arise,
hundreds each day -
Let them bloom! Let the thing run its course!
Do not ask about the yield!

There must also be play and dance
and an abundance of blossoms,
otherwise the world would be far too small for us
and life no enjoyment. (H.Hesse)

Nomade starts with a very pleasant floral freshness that immediately reminds of the fragrant fresh peach and plum blossoms now in spring. The floral freshness is accompanied by citrus notes that come through quite clearly. The pyramid does not match here. Later, the fruity sweetness of the mirabelle fruit joins in.
The mirabelle, a relative of the peach tree, is the main character in this unusual fragrance from Chloe. Over time, the whole thing becomes milder and also noticeably more bitter. The scent now becomes green, woody, and floral. The oak moss is well detectable with its spiciness, but I also smell sandalwood and patchouli. The fine sweetness of the mirabelle remains present the whole time. Overall, very complex and very beautifully crafted. Despite the bitter ingredients, Nomade is an extremely feminine and elegant fragrance.

With this modern chypre, Chloe takes a bold step away from gourmand fragrances. I initially had difficulties with the bitter side of Nomade. And yet - it has stuck in my mind. This fruity, lovely freshness with the beautiful spiciness and the woody base. Very unusual and therefore distinctive. Nomade is a timeless, fine, and cool scent that remains unforgettable - the bold fragrance of a rather unconventional woman. It leaves a well-groomed and elegant impression.

With a moderate sillage and a longevity of about 8 hours, Nomade is excellent as an office fragrance. The scent can be worn year-round, but it shines most beautifully now in spring. Like all bottles from Chloe, this one is also beautiful and a decoration in the bathroom. The price is in the mid-range, which makes repurchasing not so painful.
Nomade is a clear recommendation from me for women who enjoy floral-woody or floral-fresh fragrances.

Like blossoms, thoughts arise,
hundreds each day -
Let them bloom! Let the thing run its course!
Do not ask about the yield!

A beautiful poem...! I really enjoy poetry, and I hadn't come across this one until now.
It fits perfectly with Nomade and the rich, warm, and adventurous feeling that the fragrance gives me when I wear it.

A very nice and accurate description. Unfortunately, I just can't handle it at all; after a while (like a day), Nomade simply becomes annoying to me - what a shame, in a way.

I also noticed that mirabelle becomes more noticeable in the dry-down. In general, I think its sparkling chypryness is superficial and at heart its a fruity-woody scent when applied on the skin (and I think this is one of the scents that transforms quite a bit on contact with the skin). It's also fairly delicate yet not weak and I can see a younger female considering this as an entry to a little more grown-up chypre family.

Beautifully written :-). Thank you for your words and the poem. I really like the scent, a lot actually. I wore it on my wedding day on a sunny, calm day.

Great description!
It was too fleeting and light for me.
Lasted only 1 hour, but the scent itself is special and lovely.

Just like you, I had trouble with this bold side at first, but I have to say, I've come to really like it in between. ;-) I do prefer the EdT a bit more, as it's fresher and feels nicer on my skin...!
