Nomade Jasmin Naturel Intense
by Chloé
Nomade Jasmin Naturel Intense is a soft, sweetly woody floral with a creamy, jasmine-forward character that builds on the foundation of the original Nomade Naturelle. The scent opens with a subtle pear-like freshness, but quickly transitions into a rich, plush layer of dates and vanilla, balanced with sandalwood and oakmoss. Egyptian jasmine takes center stage in this interpretation, presenting a clean, natural, and slightly earthy floral presence rather than the explosive or narcotic jasmine found in perfumes like Alien or Pure Poison. The dry down features a cozy, musky warmth with sandalwood and patchouli, creating a slightly decadent yet effortless elegance. It's most effective in autumn and winter, though a smaller number find it suitable for daytime in spring. Some users note a dry-down reminiscent of ashtray or earthiness, which may affect tolerance, though others find it comforting and grounding. Performance averages as moderate, with some reporting lasting only 3 hours.
Pros
- +The jasmine is genuinely dominant and well-executed, offering a natural, fresh floral presence without being overpowering or cloying.
- +The scent feels modern and luxurious, with a soft, creamy elegance that suits wide age ranges and elegant wardrobes.
- +It’s a compelling option for those who liked the original Nomade Naturelle but preferred a sweeter, more floral variant.
Cons
- −There is a noticeable earthy or musky dry-down for some users, which may be off-putting (described as resembling an ashtray or dirty skin).
- −Performance is inconsistent, with many finding it only moderate in longevity and requiring reapplication.
- −Many consider it a redundant flanker of the original, offering little new for those already familiar with Nomade Naturelle.
