Modern Nomad
by State of Mind
Modern Nomad by State of Mind delivers a balanced, refined interpretation of the rose-oud formula, striking a harmonious balance between floral sweetness and dark, smoky depth. The opening features a bright, jammy rose with a green woody undercurrent from tea notes, creating an inviting and approachable first impression. This evolves into a smooth, velvety heart where rose remains central, softened by patchouli and warmed by amber and plum, before settling into a dry, sensual base of oud, leather, and vanilla. The perfume is both elegant and wearable, demonstrating strong performance with longevity and moderate to strong sillage, making it suitable for night wear without being overpowering. It carries a quiet sophistication that leans toward the mysterious and intimate, with a warmth that lingers pleasantly.

- −Oud and rose combination may feel familiar or repetitive to those well-versed in niche rose-oud fragrances.
