Eau Nomade

Beautiful yet very delicate fragrence, like a subtle seabreeze that was blown inlands for a short distance through a citrus orchard to warm up. It wears close to the skin and although I normally prefer a fragrence that radiates a little bit out, with this one it makes for a very personal experience. One that evolves with subtle different notes over an period of six hours. Although delicate, it is definately a masculine fragrance. Probably won't win everybody over, but when you wear fragrences for your own pleasure, and like lighter, more subtle notes this is a good one to give a try.

It seems Thirdman is no more, and not a lot of info to be found on this fragrance. I traded for a decant and put off trying it, as I am so OVER cardamom in perfumery. This is a different, more subtle, more herbal take on that note and I am sorry I waited. The blood orange top note, while unfortunately very short-lived, is fantastic.

Applause for a unique take on "fresh." The good thing about this scent is it smells different every time I spray it. The bad thing about this scent is that it smells different every time I spray it. I love the creative pairing of cardamom with blood orange. That helps it stand a bit above what else is offered. But again, as is the case with nearly every fresh scent on the market (that is, scents consisting of top notes only), it is painfully fleeting. If it stuck around longer or had more complexity, I might consider owning a bottle. But I certainly can see why people might be drawn to this one.

Perhaps not anything I'd buy a full bottle of but I find this well blended, balanced and understated in a way I appreciate. Apply a little more liberally and there's a good number of nuances to discover.

According to Olfactif, this also includes Sicilian Lemon, but I have not tried my sample yet to confirm.
