I tested the fragrance on my skin yesterday in the orange perfumery, fell in love with it and bought the edp immediately! I have to say that I don't know the other
Nomade Eau de Parfum Naturelle and therefore can't compare the Nomade range with each other.
Nomade Nuit d'Égypte is a tribute to the founder of the House of Chloé, whose homeland was beautiful Egypt. The main component of the DNA is Kyphi (a kind of incense mixture) which was already used in ancient Egypt during important rituals and was regarded as the scent of the divine. I personally have never smelled kyphi like this in a perfume before, which is precisely why
Nomade Nuit d'Égypte is so mysterious and unique to me.
The opening is fresh (probably reminiscent of the other Nomade fragrances), almost a little green. But the freshness fades VERY quickly, within seconds, and is then replaced by a very pleasant sweetness and warmth. Although described as "spicy", at least my nose doesn't smell any real spicy notes. The feeling of Egypt and the smell of the spicy bazaar is unfortunately missing.
To me, it smells like sunny orange blossom coated in warm caramel (although caramel is not an ingredient). It is probably the honey that gives this fragrance a sweetness, warmth and incredible softness that conveys a soothing, almost balsamic feeling. It brings back memories of warm milk with honey. Or have you ever eaten a Medjool date filled with creamy peanut butter? The scent reminds me of that! Not necessarily the smell, more the feeling. Creamy, sweet & very smooth.
Creamy, lotion-like, slightly oily, that's how it smells on my skin. Almost like a very high-quality body lotion. Or even a high-quality suntan oil with tiare.
What struck me about this fragrance is that it never has an alcohol smell. Not even when spraying it on. I later read that this edp consists of 90% natural fragrances and you can smell that. It smells natural and never synthetic or too artificial.
For me, it is a perfect fragrance for warmer evenings in spring or summer. It has a beautiful and mature elegance. I would recommend it for ages 25 and up. The fragrance progression is very linear and consistent after the opening has faded.
The longevity on my skin is outstandingly good. Even after washing my hands 5 times (yes, I actually counted and smelled it), the fragrance was still very noticeable on the back of my hand. the fragrance lasts for 7 hours on my skin without any problems. Sillage is medium.
If you like words like mysterious, warm, sweet, classy, feminine, oriental, creamy and VERY soft, you should definitely give this great fragrance a chance.
PS: If you love
Libre Eau de Parfum Intense, you could most likely adore this fragrance. Not because the fragrances are similar, but because, at least for me, they have the same warmth and suit the same type of woman.
