Ambre Nomade Élisire 2015

... for that, the first spray moment feels too intense and especially too heavy on the incense. I am not familiar with oriental fragrances, but this is exactly how I imagine it: heavy and spice-laden. For a long time, patchouli and incense dominate for me. Sage and ginger join in later. Only in the drydown does the advertised apricot swing into my scent trail. I have been wearing the fragrance for a while now, still waiting for it to become the summer vanilla scent that has been mentioned several times, and I am glad that it is not 30°C outside today. I can imagine that this fragrance could become a candidate for headaches then.
For me, Ambre Nomade is an absolute winter fragrance, which I would place in the same category as Material or "Rock the Myrrh | Dries Van Noten." I like it, but I wouldn't want to wear it long-term. It is too loud for me and, in terms of longevity, actually lasts too long at times. But luckily, that's a matter of taste.
