Nomade by Chloé

I have a part time job where I sell perfumes along with having my own business on the side. I feel like I have to get that out there, because I keep saying I'm done with designer fragrances, but I end up trying them anyways. I have the option to smell many fragrances during a shift, which is why I keep falling for trying new ones. I still have that glimmer of hope that I'll find something I like...

I was sampling many fragrances one day and reached for Nomade, when a customer asked for something richer and sweeter. Trying it with her, I found myself liking the scent that suddenly filled the room. It was sweet, spicy and mystical.

I made a sample for myself and was looking forward to trying it at home, properly.

Sadly, Nomade disappointed me like so many other fragrances have.
I do apologise, it's never my intention to talk down on these perfumes, but Nomade has a very generic designer sweetness at the opening. I don't know how else to describe it.

Maybe it's because I fell in love with niche fragrances (the ones that are a bit quirky) and started exploring them first, but I have found that the designer fragrances I have tried and reviewed have the same safe scent profile.

Maybe I just like smelling weird, who knows!

After dry down on paper, a quite interesting fruit and floral mix appears, but

as per usual, this fragrance had been blended through a Nutribullet and it is difficult for me to find individual notes to pinpoint.

On skin, the sweet opening is accompanied by the fruitiness immediately. Almost instantly, the scent also becomes more rich, but not deep. Nomade is not fruity fresh, but rich fruity, if that makes any sense.

I have sniffed Nomade straight from the bottle many times and I found it to be different from the other designer fragrances, which peaked my interest.

I swore off designer fragrances after my streak of bad experiences (let me be dramatic, please), but I kept sniffing Nomade and thought there is something interesting to explore here.

Minutes in and the fragrance is just "nice" on my skin, which is very unfortunate. I had high hopes.

I had the idea that this could be my spring to summer fragrance, but with this dumb luck I might as well just go straight to summer scents...
