Behind the Scent: The Notes of Nomad

Nomad is an aromatic, leathery and woody eau de parfum built around freesia, white suede and tonka bean. The fragrance explores a life lived closer to nature – a rhythm of roaming, a choice to live differently, and the feeling of being both free and deeply rooted.

Created for those drawn to a life beyond convention, nomad captures the intimacy of moving through nature and living with less distance between ourselves and the world around us. Fresh-cut freesia meets the warmth of wool and time-worn suede, while soft woods, amber and creamy tonka bring depth and warmth.

Raw yet intimate. free yet grounded. A scent that moves between fresh air and warm textures, settling close to the skin like a second layer.

The Inspiration Behind Nomad

"There is a constant longing in me for a life shaped less by convention and more by the world around us – defined by freedom, presence, and exploration. Nomad is a tribute to the beauty of a life lived close to the land, inspired by the ancient kinship between human, animal, and earth, and the understanding that we are deeply intertwined. I wanted to create a raw yet intimate fragrance that makes you feel both free and deeply rooted, independent
yet part of something far greater."

Nomad is inspired by lives rooted closer to nature. by a slower, more instinctive rhythm and the freedom to move with the world rather than against it.

The fragrance captures the meeting between the wild and the intimate. Fresh freesia and saffron open the composition before giving way to the warmth of wool, hay and worn suede. Beneath it, sandalwood, tonka bean and vanilla create a soft, enveloping base that remains close to the skin.

What Does Nomad Smell Like?

Nomad smells aromatic, warm and softly leathery.

The fragrance opens with fresh-cut freesia and a subtle touch of saffron, creating an airy yet distinctive first impression. In the heart, wool, hay and white suede introduce warmth and texture, evoking the feeling of natural fibres and well-worn materials.

As the fragrance settles, sandalwood, creamy tonka bean and vanilla create a warm, smooth base. The result is grounded and intimate, with a softness that feels almost like a second skin.
