What does Le Nomade smell like?

It opens with lemon, bergamot, cedar leaf and ivy, a citrusy and green freshness. In the heart, cardamom, black pepper, nutmeg and cumin add warm spice, softened by jasmine and geranium. The base settles into a dry, woody footing of vetiver, sandalwood and Atlas cedar.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, though few votes back this up. Most voters pick spring and fall, and see it for leisure, daily wear and the office. Most also read it as masculine. Giorgio Armani Eau pour Homme (2013) and Omerta Putting Green have a close profile.
