Nomade Eau de Toilette

I LOVE this perfume! Nomade EDT is fresher, brighter and lighter than the original EDP. I find it opens with a citrusy note, but it must be the litchi. It dries down to smell clean and fresh, floral and beautiful. It is somewhat linear. This perfume would suit any age - it is youthful yet mature at the same time! It lasts several hours on my skin and is never overpowering. It is absolutely perfect for spring, summer, probably even fall, but would maybe be too light for winter. When it comes to comparing the EDT and EDP, I'm also a huge fan of the EDP. I love them both. The EDT to me is better for a hot summer day when you want a more fresh, citrus feel. The only downside of the EDT is that it isn't super easy to find - I don't see it on as many sites as I'd like but safe to say I'm definitely upgrading my mini bottle to full size as soon as possible. EDIT: I bought a full size of the EDT and love it. One of my go-to scents this summer. Now I am finished my travel size of the EDP so a full-size of that one is on my list next. Then, to try the Absolu :)

Interesting, lively, spicy, sunny, tropical. Slightly elegant in a bit of retro style, but also young and modern. It's funny, but Chloe Nomade seems to be my "on-off" perfume relationship - I always come back, even to the flankers. In the heat it develops not only a fruity, but almost a vegetable smell on my skin, possibly an effect of the green oakmoss. Sounds a bit weird, but just that makes it interesting enough for me to wear it more often. I think I'm the person who needs a bit of weirdness in her scents to keep the interest going (except for my "safe" perfumes for work). So it is an "almost office-safe perfume" with an edge. For an eau de toilette, longevity is great and it unfolds different layers. And certainly it contains more notes (in the deep drydown I discover the same sandalwood as in the Edp and also a little shy cinnamon, which I can usually smell in the top notes of the Absolu). IMO the bottle and the images in the ad match the frag perfectly. Nomade is uplifting and free-spirited.

I originally bought a sample of the EDP but since stays hot and humid here for the majority of the year, I wanted to try the EDT. In the initial spray, I was immediately reminded of DKNY Be Delicious, but much smoother. I wouldn't say it smells exactly like lychee because lychee is quite sweet, but maybe it's more like a mix of lychee/green apple/guava. It's very juicy and fresh. Imagine taking the original EDP and turning it into a shampoo, and that's what the EDT feels like to me. The first time I wore it, I got almost no oakmoss. However, as I wore it more and the days got warmer, the oakmoss has come out. I've seen people say that it's almost the same as the EDP, but I disagree. Although you can clearly smell the Nomade DNA in the EDT, it's mainly a fruity/juicy fragrance for me even with the oakmoss. I love the EDP and the EDT, and I don't think having both would be redundant in anyone's collection.

I left review to this perfume in 2021 somewhere below. It did not like back then but I never get rid of the bottle. This smell confused me in the range “is it love or hate?”. I never wore since then. I recently decided to give it a try again. And I realized i should apply this EDT very sparingly, just a slight bit on my chest, spray from the distance. This way the fragrance opens up nicely. I think my skin intensifies the aromas. It is easy to overspray it. Or, perhaps it is not my skin, it is the fragrance. It is meant to be laid gently, in small quantity. Now I totally understand this aroma. It has harmony and charm. I call it “soft chypre”- with some flower and fruits lingering in there. The drydown is absolutely heavenly. I am so glad I kept this bottle.

Love at first sniff when I went to Chloé boutique! I thought that I'm not gonna love it as the notes are not usual for me and given that I'm into more citrusy, floral, and fresh (although I have sweet and gourmand perfume lol). It took a while before I buy this and voila, I got this with huge discount! Another signature scent of mine for sure. Because of this perfume, I discovered that I'm into mossy perfume as it smells beautiful on my skin on its dry-down. Smells fruity, fresh, and sophisticated for me, and if you gonna ask me, this perfume is unconventional and I wanna gatekeep this (haha). Lasts longer also, which I DO LOVE! Can recommend it to those who love chypre scent who loves oakmoss as base notes.
