Ombre Nomade Louis Vuitton 2018

... whereby this fragrance behaves less like a shadow and more like a forerunner, signaling to everyone and everything: here I come.
The Ombre Nomade is a special fragrance that is as annoying as it is breathtaking. Hated by many, loved by many, I hardly know a fragrance that polarizes so much. I didn't like ON much at first, I didn't think it was bad, but not particularly good either. My girlfriend still hates it today ("the worst perfume you have").
Now I love it more and more. This oriental rose-oud combination (as I've smelled it umpteen times before), plus I think I detect a hint of leather. The incense gives it a nice depth in the combination and makes it almost mystical... funny that I should say that about a perfume, but somehow this word comes to mind. The raspberry rounds off the whole thing with a subtle fruitiness.
Longevity and sillage are nuclear. Even an Arabians Tonka can pack a punch here. Fragrances generally don't last as long on my skin, but the ON is still noticeable the next day and that is really intense.
LVMH naturally pushes the price of this perfume mercilessly towards the absolute pain threshold. But when you consider that you can fog an entire housing estate with two sprays, it becomes clear that the bottle will probably last 1-2 people's lives. The intended use is also relatively limited, not a fragrance for every day and for heaven's sake, please don't wear it in the
Office and certainly not in the gym. If you go out and want to stand out, then this fragrance is a good choice. Hate it or love it. For me it's the latter.
