Disappointing – cardamom is one of my favorite notes. I get a LOT of ginger and not much cardamom at all. Opening reminds me of the opening of Hermes Un Jardin Apres la Mousson but not so wet. The citrus is there but seems synthetic to me.
Definite fizz and sparkle though; the overall effect is like mixing gingerale and Fanta but without sweetness. Not bad but not what I was expecting.

Thirdman launched Eau Nomade (“Nomad Water”) in 2013. It’s classed as an aromatic spicy (I would probably opt more for aromatic citrus, but then again, I’m not in charge of these things, am I?) Fragrantica simply says that Eau Nomade contains blood orange and cardamom. The nose behind the fragrance is Bruno Jovanovic.
Just a bit of a forewarning on how I review fragrances. Occasionally my reviews will reference a note or an accord to describe a smell which is not in the listed note pyramid, and may not even be in the scent itself. I do my best to describe how the scent smells on my skin – after all, that’s the only place (with very few exceptions) I’ve ever had the chance to smell it. So, when I say that I smell X, there’s no need to rush and tell me “no, no, there’s no X at all.” I’m describing what I smell – which I can only hope correlates to what’s actually there and to what you smell, but I can’t always promise this will be the case.
This is a nod to the traditional European eau de cologne. In the opening of Eau Nomade, I get a green, citrusy, bright grassy vetiver note that is highly citrus-driven. Again, I know there is no vetiver (at least it’s not listed), but Eau Nomade smells strikingly like Tom Ford’s Grey Vetiver to me, except in Eau Nomade there might be a touch of something white-floral (though nothing heady or abrasive). The citrus, which I can guess is only attributable to the blood orange, comes off much closer to a grapefruit or pommelo on my skin. It also has that aquatic, sea-like feel that makes me think there’s a touch of calone lying below the surface.
Apparently this comes as part of a “Journey” set (whether this set was curated by Thirdman themselves or not, I don’t know), but it’s supposed to conjure the smell of an Indian spice bazaar. At this, it utterly fails. It smells like a soapy, fresh, clean citrus fragrance with the addition of a little cardamom to keep things from becoming mind-numbingly boring. Eau Nomade retails for $105 for a 100 ml bottle, which is about what you can find a bottle of Tom Ford Grey Vetiver for. Given its longevity and sillage – maybe a few hours at best, typical for the classic “fragrance water” – I’d keep the money and opt for the Grey Vetiver instead. This is a fine fragrance for what it is, but I prefer something slightly more complex and challenging, even when I’m going for a no-brainer citrusy, summer scent.

I’m not getting Indian spices or a middle eastern market AT ALL. I get a delightful, salty, aquatic that starts off smelling like an expo marker. Similar to creed erolfa. Then it turns into a gorgeous blood orange soda smell. The spice is like carbonated fizz. Very well done! Though I wouldn’t call it unique. It kinda smells like a designer fragrance or an axe body wash (A good axe body wash). But this stays smelling good, even on the skin.
Edit: It just occurred to me that this smells exactly like Bvlgari Aqva Amara!

Heavy middle eastern influence in this fragrance by the inclusion of spicy cardamom. It lends a ginger-like sweetness, but at the same time a musky/sweaty accord. A dash of zesty lemon and mellow blood orange add a delicate radiance. Of all four Thirdman fragrances released thus far, Eau Nomade seems the most original. (51)

Beautiful yet very delicate fragrence, like a subtle seabreeze that was blown inlands for a short distance through a citrus orchard to warm up. It wears close to the skin and although I normally prefer a fragrence that radiates a little bit out, with this one it makes for a very personal experience. One that evolves with subtle different notes over an period of six hours. Although delicate, it is definately a masculine fragrance. Probably won’t win everybody over, but when you wear fragrences for your own pleasure, and like lighter, more subtle notes this is a good one to give a try.

I got this as part of a “journey” set, meant to introduce/remind you of a particular place. This one is meant to represent India in the markets with fresh foods and spices.
It has a rather soapy opening to me. From there the notes distinguish themselves a bit more and I can pick out bright succulent lemon and a deep cardamom. It’s rather tangy and more on the masculine side to my nose.
From there it settles into almost a spice tea with lemon vein. After that the lemon fades considerably and there is a bit of sweetness (the blood orange perhaps?) and the cardamom. When the brightness fades it really leans to the masculine side imo.
It seems pretty long lasting, it’s been 6 hours and it’s still going strong. It did not last at all when I sprayed in on a non-pulse point though, so be sure to put it someplace warm.
Well done and unique but too masculine and not versatile enough for me but it does evoke the intended “journey”.

According to Olfactif, this also includes Sicilian Lemon, but I have not tried my sample yet to confirm.

Perhaps not anything I’d buy a full bottle of but I find this well blended, balanced and understated in a way I appreciate. Apply a little more liberally and there’s a good number of nuances to discover.
