For a long time, Nomade Eau de Parfum was the only fragrance I owned - and it was just a miniature for dabbing... Because I had no idea about perfumes back then, I ordered a full-size bottle of Nomade Absolu de Parfum as soon as the miniature was empty - and I was shocked - it smells completely different! Much deeper, more exciting…! Could the miniature have been a counterfeit, or had so much aroma evaporated over time due to dabbing?
What I didn't understand back then: The absolu adds a certain kick to the already very interesting and pleasant base DNA of Nomade, a kick I didn't even realize I was looking for. It has more spice, more depth, the Mirabelle is juicier and more noticeable.
For me, this means I tend to wear it more in the cooler months, but I also enjoy it on a spring evening out. It is mature and fascinating without being dusty, and it continues to accompany me in my collection, even though I now have a much better understanding…
