My Guerlain and I
Long we have sneaked around each other, or better said, I around him - like a cat namely, which wants to play a little, here better: a little smell.
It wasn't like maybe somewhere else where you're in a shop whispering a lot from the shelves: "Buy me, buy me, buy me"
No, my Guerlain is rather galan and gallant, is reserved, unobtrusive, and just as sustainable at the same time. So e.g. he doesn't get out of your head so fast, if you like this fragrance, and this one or that one would have at least honestly hardly anything to complain about him.

At some point I received a miniature of him, a short time later a sample. To break the miniature was too bad for me, but the rehearsal, which had to be tried, immediately at the first opportunity - and has me immediately fully weg- or better: hin- und umgereiß.
"Hours later" almost the same picture, unchanged, because my Guerlain has substance, is profound, persistent, not hypocritical or superficial, does not pretend anything, but is what he is, namely a faithful companion with a reserved presence - actually exactly what I am looking for

I like this type in general, very much even, namely those that don't start a fireworks display right away, only to draw attention to themselves and then sometime later go up in smoke, e.g.
My Guerlain behaves there - quite the opposite - completely differently:
When you spray it on, it almost literally recedes, envelops you and is immediately there again when you look for it. A light breeze is enough for him to draw attention to himself again and again, whispering "I am with you!" However, my Guerlain is completely invisible and yet you react to it, even turn around again, smile directly at you. Already 4 times it has happened, that strange people even speak to me about him just like that.

It's all so cheerful, it carries you almost by itself, this wafer-thin, silky, sometimes even warm veil around me, as if it's even about to lift gravity.

From one who is different from the others
I didn't really want to write a comment here. Only, for what I would have to say to Nomade, the text size of a statement is unfortunately not sufficient. Therefore "my statement in long version" to Nomad here as comment, especially because, I think, that one should not do her (the Nomadin) wrong:

Every perfume is "arguable", so is Chloé, too, "arguable" and it is obvious that even nomads are "arguable" - and in all 3 cases this is a good thing.
I personally do not belong to those who first meticulously analyse a scent, break it down into its components, in order to allow themselves a judgement, sometimes even to the point of being a judge of "good and evil", especially since the times of ancient Rome and its Caesars (thumbs up - thumbs down) have long since passed. Multilayeredness is the keyword here and multilayered I also find Nomade.

When one deals with nomads, one inevitably deals with s at least indirectly - with Chloé, and no other fragrance from this manufacturer denies its origin as much as Nomade does. I think that when you try the fragrance, you expect "typical Chloé" and you will be disappointed. Because this nomad is very much living up to her role, because she doesn't belong to the other, rather girlish and pure scents with a certain, clean washing powder image, but has an independent appearance, far away from that of her sisters.

Nomade is at first almost harsh, almost stabbing, almost like the stab of a scorpion, especially if I expect "typical Chloé" somehow. That was also my very first impression, but the nomad didn't sting me right away, but she didn't let me go right away. Their language is just different, maybe then also their message.

2 or 3 sprayers on the test strip or on the skin are already times 1 or 2 sprayers too much. The nomad rather seeks distance, also when spraying on, because she needs space and air to be able to unfold and show herself and her subtleties. And this also applies to inhaling, smelling this fragrance, because it is there, unmistakable. So this becomes a nomad for me a question of how to deal with each other, and if you understand how to deal with each other, you also understand each other - much better even than perhaps first assumed.
The nomad is not complicated, nor is she generally flowery, because where she is located flowers are in short supply. Nevertheless, she knows how to carry a touch of it with her without letting it dry in the heat.

Nomad is somehow perhaps even contradictory and certainly not integer, as one could expect from a nomad in general or accuse her of it, but nevertheless she has her roots.
