Do you know what the desert smells like during late sunset?
You get out of your car at sunset and walk into the desert away from road and just smell the remnants of the sun coming off the earth. It smells warm and strangely cozy. That's the idea Ambre Nomad gives me when I wear it.

When I first spray it on it gets a little wild. It almost hurts my nose with a crazy blast of fruit and spice. However once it warms up on your body, just like the desert sand and earth, it radiates warmth and comfort. The vanilla and resin start to calm down the craziness of the top notes and they eventually make sense. A little sweetness, a bit of spice, some herbs, wood, kind of like that well worn horse blanket that always exists in someone's work truck. It's a little of everything, even some dirt, sweat and earth with the patchouli.

But at the end, it's just cozy. The bottle is beautiful, but you do have to keep it in the box. I've back handed it over with a breeze more than once. That top bit is actually cut glass and very heavy. The scent lasts on clothing until the next washing. I'll get hints of it on Oodies, my preferred clothing style for this fragrance, nearly a week after I've sprayed it. I can't say much about the silage, as this is one of those gems I rarely wear out and about. For me this is a fragrance reserved for cozy time with a hot tea and a good book.

Amber Malone's excellent podcast
The funny thing is, when I first looked at my sample of Ambre Nomade from Elisire, it was upside down and I misread it as Amber Malone-- and you know what, it smells like a fictional character named Amber Malone, so I am just going with that. This is not what I think of as a typical amber, that powdery balsamic resin. Amber Malone is amber by way of glorious golden ginger and intense, velvety patchouli vanilla, and an unexpected aromatic freshness from sage and lavender and apple. The first time I smelled Amber M. I caught a bit of a youthful-bordering-on-obnoxious-vanilla-apricot fruitiness with a tinge of darkness that made me think she was in high school in the 2002 and had one of those scene queen hairstyles and probably spent a lot of time in serial killer chatrooms. She had the vibe of a kid who was a bit of a loner and was obsessed with true crime novels and at first, I thought maybe she was corresponding with convicted murderers in prison, but I came to the conclusion that she had a good head on her shoulders and ended up going into forensics science and has a podcast where she talks about women’s complicated relationship with true crime. Later, when I tried Amber M. again, the opulent leathery, musky resinous labdanum note is present and I think she’s gotten a book deal to write some brilliant essays regarding true stories about how vicarious interests in violent crime transformed the lives of four women and that’s when I realized Amber Malone exists to some extent-- at least as far as writing this book--and her actual name is Rachel Monroe, and Savage Appetites is a great book and you should read it. Ambre Nomade speaks to me of savage appetites for truth, for curiosity, for passion and fascination, and indulging all of these things at every opportunity.

Not a headnote catcher
... I think the first spray moment is too intense and, above all, too incense-heavy. I'm not familiar with oriental fragrances, but that's exactly how I imagine it: heavy and spicy. For me, patchouli and frankincense dominate for a long time. Sage and ginger join in later. Only in the drydown does the
advertised apricot resonate in my scent tail advertised apricot resonates. I've been wearing the fragrance for a while now, I'm still waiting for it to become the summer vanilla scent I've mentioned several times and I'm glad it's not 30°C outside today. I can imagine that this fragrance would then become a headache candidate.
For me, Ambre Nomade is an absolute winter fragrance that I would put in the same category as Material or Rock the Myrrh. I like it but I don't want to wear it for long periods of time. It's too loud for me and in terms of longevity, it's actually too long. But luckily that's a matter of taste.

the drydown is actually pretty nice but the fruity begining is a bit harsh synthetic, leaning too feminine for my taste
