Nomade Nuit d’Egypte Chloé
Amber Floral
Juliette Karagueuzoglou
Gaby Aghion, the Egyptian born founded the house of Chloé in 1952. She started to use the expression “prêt-à-porter” fashion ready to wear, no need for a tailor. Her designs represent French femininity and youth, her fragrance Nomade Nuit d’Egypte celebrates Alexandria, Egypt, the place she was born in 1921.
Nomade Nuit d’Egypte is nothing like the original Nomade which is mainly the scent of mirabelle and moss, fresh and earthy. Nomade Nuit d’Egypte is an orange blossom scent with spicy amber nuances. There is also a heavy dose of vanilla awaiting in the base. Do not get too excited about myrrh and cinnamon in the opening. I can barely smell them.
Although it has an amber character, it is still very much a designer floral scent. Likable, sweet, feminine, elegant. It follows the trends established by My Way by Armani, Prada Paradox, or even Donna by Trussardi. A gorgeous perfume for a general female audience. A valentine gift which is hard to dislike. I like amber florals and as I have Paradox in my perfume wardrobe, I do not feel the urgency to buy Nomade Nuit d’Egypte, even though the story behind the fragrance is beautiful. Cheers to that!
