Nomad The Wanderer
This Nomad opens with a bright, fruity rose with somewhat of a sparkling effect. Quickly overtaken by a synthetic oud and subdued by the earthy notes of sandalwood and orris. Rather than drying down, it almost feels as if the composition was forced down without truly unfolding; as it got to the point very quickly. Ironically, Nomad means "wanderer". The notes here did that exactly. A vibrant start with a more neutral end, delivering a faint vanilla-amber accord and left with a familiar powdery finish. On my skin, the final phase was a sweet and dusty rose. A decent introduction to the world of niche perfumery and elegant packaging. If there is a con at all, the price point outweighs the quality. Bond's Nomad smells good, and while longevity is excellent it relies entirely on aroma chemicals.
