Luois Vuitton Ombre Nomade - real world fragrance review

[@shrey_kundra]

I got ombre nomade last week and have been wearing it to office every single day since - i truly don't care about what people think. Its amazing, two sprays and I'm set for the day. Amazing sillage!

[@SeldomlyOften]

@@shrey_kundra yes, the upcoming seasons I’ll try to wear more of it, I really like it a lot as well 👍

[@JaneTheJubilant]

Your opening line is always killer 😋 And great to see how much the channel has grown in barely over a week! You have a knack for this. I’d love to see you do a Q&A at some point too.

[@SeldomlyOften]

I love QnAs, I’ll do one for sure, I just need more subs first and people actually interested 🙂

[@WhatsThatSmell]

I used to own this and I know objectively that it’s a good fragrance. But I gave it away because I just couldn’t see any situation where I could wear it, so I gave it away! Definitely makes me want to revisit it at some point. And bring on the Q&A!

[@SeldomlyOften]

It’s an awesome scent that I will be keeping but yes, it’s a difficult wear 🙂

[@imonimon1984]

Your channel will grow quickly i feel. Good presentation

[@SeldomlyOften]

Thank you so much 🙂

[@koros8]

I am completely in love with Ombre Nomad. It is elegant and opulent. It's like wearing $1000 bills (if such a thing existed). Very rich and lasts forever. Definitely my number 1 choice for a night at the opera or symphony.

[@SeldomlyOften]

@@koros8 it’s a fragrance I still have (and I rotate a LOT), almost nothing give me that feeling either 👍

[@pepm2193]

I pair it with symphony ❤

[@SeldomlyOften]

@@pepm2193 You mean you layer it? I'm not a huge fan of layering but I might give it a try with some citruses :D

[@Saad-qz3vv]

@@SeldomlyOftencurrently deciding between this and OFG which do u prefer?

[@SeldomlyOften]

@@Saad-qz3vv this smells soooo much better than OFG, so much fuller and higher quality. The only reason to consider OFG is if you want a lighter scent

[@Tatted-ne7tu]

My wife forbid this scent and she stated of all the scents I have in the collection, ON was the worst. I sold it soon after because it wasn’t a week later my best friend told me he hated it as well.

[@SeldomlyOften]

😂 Sorry, I should be laughing. What is the scent she likes most on you? Maybe you need to transition to ON slowly. Just curious.

[@BigFresh9782]

I have both Nomade and Ombre Leather.....and they do resemble each other with Nomade being slightly stronger than Ombre....sometimes I layer them together....still excellent and elelgant!

[@SeldomlyOften]

@@BigFresh9782 they are both beautiful scents, the LV is definitely rougher to my nose.

[@markdudley2083]

Very helpful review, thank you. Not sure this will be a winter buy. I have a couple of oud fragrances and while I'll be adding at least one more, it doesn't sound from your review or my own tests that it will be Ombre Nomad. Having said that I really like LV for the refillable service. I am just coming to the end of my Afternoon Swim and the fact I can take the bottle back to Selfridges and have it refilled at half price is a huge plus point for LV scents.

[@SeldomlyOften]

@@markdudley2083 this is not really Oud forward, there is a ton of rough leather with some sweet red fruit at top. A great buy if you want the rough part of ON without the sweet tones is Armani Privé Noir Kogane. Surprisingly good!

[@ra.j7210]

This fragrance is 🔥

[@SirEricArthurBlair]

The way you described this made me feel like you issued a challenge to any would be wearer of this fragrance. Now I want to get it and this fragrance is one that the price makes me avoid it. I smelled it in my local LV boutique and it smelled incredible on the strip. I should go back to sample it on skin then go from there. I might have to break my own price limitation rule to get this to see if I can make it my winter signature or at least a frequently worn scent this winter.

[@SeldomlyOften]

@@SirEricArthurBlair not a challenge at all! It’s just very elegant and requires a certain presence. I’m just not in the mood to ‘be that person’ all the time. I have to admit that I’ve since acquired similar scents so I’m a little more comfortable with this type of thing.

[@DavideV101]

Ehi Daniel, coming back to your videos to follow my next purchase. Would you consider redundant ombré nomade having oud maracuja? How about longevity and sillage in btw the two ? Do you own any other maison crivelli? Thank you always in advance

[@SeldomlyOften]

@@DavideV101 the drydown is pretty much identical, that huge dusty cracked leather thing, very very similar. Opening is completely different but the Crivelli doesn’t hold onto that passion fruit for long. I don’t currently own any Crivelli.

[@DavideV101]

@ thank you very much!

[@ImAaronVincent]

Loving these reviews. I notice that the perfumes you’re reviewing (maybe except the JPG one) leans more towards rich and complex scents that are wearable during night time or the colder months. Is that reflective of your entire collection or do you also have some freshie/day time scents? I haven’t tried Ombre Nomade but I have sampled Nouveau Monde. I heard it’s more casual and more wearable than ON. I don’t find it ultra specific. I have worn it on a few casual night time occasions. It’s my third favorite LV behind Imagination and L’Immensite. Sorry I rambled on! 😅

[@SeldomlyOften]

Thanks for the lengthy comment! I do tend to prefer heavy darker fragrances more but as a fairly OCD person, I like to have a balanced assortment of fragrances. One of the reason I am covering the a lot of heavies first is that before a review I aim to do a full wear, just to remind myself of the scent in its integrity--not all heavies are summer friendly. I will be covering lots of lighter fresher fragrances in the near future, fear not :) The JPG was covered early for two reasons: I wanted to test the reception of more commercial vs more niche (and this has proven people have a thirst for interesting) and because I was on the fence again about keeping the fragrance due to finding it fairly boring (I indeed ended up selling it days after).

[@walternap22]

Just purchased a bottle of this yesterday, nice to hear your thoughts on it! I have never encountered a smaller channel like yours with such great quality (I love your cat too 😽). Ombre Nomade is indeed incredibly elegant (and sexy I think) but I would never hold myself back from wearing it whenever I want, it's just too good. Also, sometimes it feels good to leave people stunned 🤪. Keep doing what you're doing with the channel, I'm so happy the KZbin algorithm finally gave me someone interesting!

[@SeldomlyOften]

It's an amazing fragrance for sure, I love the scent so much. I guess it depends on the type of person you are, I like to stay fairly discreet with perfumes :D I didn't even see that Fuji (my cat) was in the video. Keen eye!

[@Luqman-q6b]

Bonjour, I would like to know if anyone among you has already tested BLACK AFGANO and if so I would like to know if the two flavors are similar. Thank you in advance.

[@SeldomlyOften]

@@Luqman-q6b they are not similar, BA has no fruity sweet notes like this has, this is also mostly a ‘leather’ scent while the Nasomatto is more of a woody type smell (like an oily wood). A non sweet version of the LV is something like Armani Noir Kogane

[@ethanrrs]

Have you tried nouveau monde? I just had visited a LV boutique for the first time this weekend and sprayed on my favorite "oud" and and side by side i tried nouveau monde next to ombre nomade and nouveau monde won me over. Raspberry accord replaced with a chocolate one in the opening and some ginger zing/brightness in the heart. Definitely a little more leathery than it is oud-ey though. Wondering if you had any experience or any comments on it. It not i do recommend! My favorite freshies were l'immensite and orage probably. Afternoon swim was amazing too but i literally felt it fade away from the card LOL

[@SeldomlyOften]

@@ethanrrs I definitely want to sample more LV fragrances, some really appeal to me. Thanks for the recommendations!

[@jeffreylin2690]

Hey man, enjoyed your review for this one. Have you smelled oud satin mood by MFK? I have trouble deciding between the 2 and wanted to know what you feel about them. Thanks.

[@SeldomlyOften]

I have not smelled it but knowing MFK and having read a lot on Satin Mood I can pretty confidently say that Ombré Nomade is way rougher and masculine. There is almost no rose in the LV.

[@namkul]

I own Ombre Nomade & Jubilation 40! Subscribed to your channnel🎉

[@SeldomlyOften]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@eugenegutierrez5106]

I got a sample of this. Boy….. took a shower before bed then showered the next day and still On my skin. It’s beast mode but not nuisance. Pricey though $410/100ml. If you guys planning to buy between Tom ford ombré leather ; I’d buy this it’s well worth it. Homeless 😅!? Last 24 hrs 💯 agreed.

[@SeldomlyOften]

Yeah, I think it’s worth it, it’s beautiful and last super long. You just have to care to dress the part 😎

[@karim9059]

im not really into sweet or sugary fragrances; does this go into that direction?

[@SeldomlyOften]

@@karim9059 not at all, it might have a fruity twist to the top but this is bitter, dark, rugged leather 😎

[@justaddlight]

I prefer this one over Ombre Leather too. Only had a tiny decant, but I layered it with Dark Rebel Rider once and it scared children away. Not kidding. In fact it scared everyone away. 😐 You can tell I like my privacy. 🤣 Nah, I think it was the intimidation factor. Something about leather accords that both intrigues and repels people at times. Don't think I'll every own a bottle though. Too many surprisingly decent clones out there and they're always getting better. Appreciate your take Daniel!

[@SeldomlyOften]

I love my bottle to death but I truly struggle to wear this absolute unit of a fragrance. Agree, very intimidating.

[@ericmackay1668]

Hi. Love your videos. I have suggestion for you. FALCON LEATHER by Matiere Premiere. I wnt to buy it. I wNt you opinion on it. If possible. Thanks.

[@SeldomlyOften]

Hey, thanks for the comment! I don't have a bottle but I sampled it really recently. In short: it's an easy and wearable rugged leather, it's not offensive while still being pretty raw feeling. You comment is spot on as it does kind of feel like the isolated leather component of Ombre Nomade. Performance is decent, 8h ish with average projection. I like it, it's on my list of purchases but not super high priority.

[@newgoal9]

If anybody has one of this and wants to give it away. Please let me know and I will send you my address for it.

@@newgoal9 😂

[@riomointi9902]

Very close to Crivelli’s Oud Maracuja imo

[@SeldomlyOften]

@@riomointi9902 the fruity opening is different but the drydown is VERY similar. The Crivelli is a lighter wear overall.

[@Principemostprincipe]

I would not call this a situational fragrance. More like personality fragrance. Goes well with nice car, nice watch, nice clothes. Can be worn as a signature scent

[@SeldomlyOften]

@@Principemostprincipe don’t you find it incredibly recognizable when worn? I think that a high profile individual that could rock this would have in a rotation with other classy stuff.

[@Principemostprincipe]

@@SeldomlyOften yes because it is really loud stuff, but i like beast fragrances, especially when i pay them so much

[@IanFleming808]

You can get it refilled for less than buying a new bottle at your local LV boutique.

[@SeldomlyOften]

@@IanFleming808 true, you still need to purchase it first 😅

[@pwj86772]

Cannot stand ombre nomade The persistent drone of cheap amberwoods in the base kills it for me I also wish there was real oud in here

[@SeldomlyOften]

@@pwj86772 yes, the fake boost that the amberwoods give is detectable but I feel that it blends reasonably well with the profile in here, it doesn’t clash as much as in other scents. Given the price, there should be real oud but it’s getting increasingly rare in mass produced, predictable smelling frags.

[@pwj86772]

@@SeldomlyOften yeah, for the price I wish there was at least some real oud in it. The amberwoods in here go very sour and sharp on my skin

[@juanp179]

Is good but oud maracuja is wayy better in quality , smell and price

[@SeldomlyOften]

The drydown smells very similar to me, I would choose the one between the two that has the opening you want. I still really like Ombre Nomade

I was all in for Ombré Nomad, the scent lasts long as hell, the dry down was great til I noticed a Smokey scent and I didn’t like that part of it….I went to the Louis Store to get my nose on a couple of other scents for the fall and fell in love with Les Sables Roses and Fleur Du Desert…I ended up grabbing the Fleur du Desert…I have never owned a scent with rose and I really really like how it dries down and that it lasts long on my skin. I currently own L’Immensite, Meteor, Lovers and nw FDD …I

[@SeldomlyOften]

@@ph3n1xryse I recently tried Nuit De Feu from LV and I must say I’m in love with it. It’s a very natural frankincense, beautiful and cold. I have too many incense fragrances though 😅
