What does Nomad smell like?

The top notes are saffron and lemon, and the citrus and fresh accords lead at the start. The heart holds marine notes and white blossoms, giving the scent an aquatic touch as it moves along. The base of cypriol, amber, vanilla and patchouli takes over, bringing out the sweet, gourmand and woody side, with a faintly synthetic tone in the background.

Voters rate both longevity and sillage as strong and score its value for money highly, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It is classed as a men's fragrance. Kolmaz Aghoras and Kinetic Perfumes Insomnia have a close profile.
