Which Should You Buy?
Prepare for a floral journey with this one. Some find it a beautifully balanced aquatic jasmine with a spicy kick, perfect for summer. Others are perplexed by a fruity sweetness they didn't expect, finding it a bit too 'tropical' for the Nomade line.
Cool blue lotus and jasmine settling into warm sandalwood, myrrh and kyphi. Oakcha's take on Chloé Nomade Lumière d'Egypte, and a golden, resinous scent with a calm glow.
