Ombre Nomade Louis Vuitton 2018

In my last review of Oud Noir Intense by Fragance du Bois, I was confronted with the question of whether what I perceived in the opening was that legendary Oud, as I had never smelled one before.

Well, Ombre Nomade answers my question. Yes, it is.

The opening of ON is similar; it is, as I now know, the Oud note, along with some incense and a subtle raspberry note.

As for the Oud, there is certainly room for improvement; it is not too intense, and I cannot speak of animalic or barn-like qualities here at all.
Especially in combination with the incense, it is quite pleasant.

After a short time, a leather note develops for me, but it also disappears as quickly as it came.

It remains a blend of Oud, incense, and a faint raspberry.

That’s about it for the scent progression. I don’t want to say much about the longevity and sillage; the score here on Parfumo says it all.
However, ON smells less Oudy in the sillage than directly on the skin.
It is certainly a more or less extraordinary scent that many might like; in my opinion, it is unisex, but unfortunately, it is not for me.
I just miss something, maybe a bit of spice or fruit.

However, it definitely has a recognizable character if dosed socially.
Otherwise, it can quickly become too much.
