Out my bedroom window, the sun is descending lower and lower, blazing a magnificent orange, not wanting to surrender it’s reign of the day to the moon. I watch the sun sink below the tree line, leaving behind vibrant pink and purple paint-brushed clouds. Within seconds, a clap of thunder sounds and is followed by rolls and rumbles, then a deluge begins.
I love thunderstorms, they always fill me with excitement and joy. It’s early September, which means autumn and cooler weather is coming soon. I’m not a huge fan of Texas weather, but fall is gorgeous here and thunderstorms are epic.
Because fall is almost here, it’s time to put away the summer scents and get out the autumnal perfume.
One of my favorite fall perfumes is Chloe Nomade, a bold adventurous fragrance that would make a great signature scent.
Nomade, what a perfect name. I adore everything about this perfume, the name, the bottle, and the smell. This perfume is one of the most complex fragrances I own, and what I mean, is that it’s constantly evolving over the course of the day. At first it’s fruity, citrusy, and creamy, then it transforms into a luxuriously clean freesia and rose, hours later, an earthy, dry scent emerges. Nomade is classified as a fruity chypre fragrance with the following notes:
- Top Notes: Mirabelle Plum, Bergamot, Lemon, and Orange
- Middle Notes: Freesia, Jasmine, Peach, and Rose
- Base Notes: Oakmoss, Amberwood, Patchouli, Sandalwood, and White Musk
Just like you have your favorite pair of boyfriend jeans, this is the boyfriend perfume. Like boyfriend jeans, it’s tomboyish, comfortable, yet still feminine and stylish. It’s makeupy, it’s refreshing, and its cleanliness reminds me of Coco Mademoiselle. Like Coco it’s timeless, but not as sweet, and definitely more casual. When I spritz on Nomade in the morning, I immediately envision a travelista who is effortlessly cool and laid-back; a travel photographer, comfortable in any situation and any culture. Nomade’s wearer is minimal yet stylish, who doesn’t care what people think.
Chloe Nomade is for the adventurer!
Nomade is cool and adventurous, complex, but easy to wear. It’s scent is hard to forget and while it can be worn year-round, this perfume shines in the dry, cool weather. Bright fall mornings filled with sunshine, breeze, and autumn leaves, is what this perfume remind me of.
I have a lot of perfumes I love, but this is one I crave!
The performance on this perfume is legendary. It lasts for a full day (eight hours) on my skin and days on my clothes. The sillage is pretty strong too, so a spritz on the neck and on your wrists is all you need.
