A stunning dark, mysterious rose oud.
Warm, smooth, a little woody and spicy with a tiny hint of smoke.
Expensive.
A good introduction to Oud.
I can see why Ombre Nomade is Louis Vuitton’s most famed fragrance - it ticks all the boxes. It’s a very classy and expensive smelling rose-oud, made to be mass appealing whilst still remaining complex enough to captivate people. On my skin this scent comes off very strong with the rose, which is more prominent than anything else. The rose does smell a bit synthetic, however that’s not an especially bad thing, it kind of works with the rest of the notes. A smoky oud sits in the background adding depth and darkness while a touch of raspberry adds an addictive sweetness. This scent is enjoyable to wear and definitely lives up to the beast-mode claims, it’s one of those scents you can smell from a couple feet away just by taking the cap off. While I do love this scent, I can easily imagine that if I wore this regularly it would become very tiring and obnoxious, this is for those occasions where you’re really craving that powerful blast of oud and rose.
Smells like something my great grandmother would wear.
