Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
Caroline Dumur's 2023 intense reframing of the Nomade DNA, anchored on Egyptian jasmine as the headline note. Mirabelle plum and pear open with a fruity-floral lift before jasmine and dates take over the heart — the dates add an unexpected gourmand-oriental weight that the base Nomade EDP doesn't carry. The base settles into vanilla, sandalwood, oakmoss, and patchouli — richer and longer-wearing than the original. The fragrance is marketed as vegan and 100% natural origin, with no artificial coloring.
Cécile Matton's 2025 entry in the Nomade 'Égypte' sub-line — a warm-oriental reframing of the Nomade DNA with kyphi (the ancient Egyptian incense blend), myrrh, and cinnamon doing most of the base work. The opening blue lotus and pink pepper give a brief floral-spicy lift before jasmine takes over the heart and the resinous base anchors the dry-down. Sandalwood smooths the spice. Quieter than the base Nomade EDP, with more depth in the base and less freshness on top — built for cool-weather wear.
