Is Ombre Nomade for men or women?

It is marketed as unisex. The oud, birch and incense base reads dark and woody, while the rose, saffron and raspberry keep it from being purely masculine. Most wearers treat it as a shared fragrance.

How many sprays should I use?

Two to three sprays is plenty. Owners consistently describe it as very strong, and more than that tends to overwhelm a room.

When should I wear it?

Evenings, formal events and cold weather suit it best. Its density makes it uncomfortable in heat or in tight office spaces.

What does it smell like?

It opens with raspberry and incense, moves into rose and saffron, and settles into oud wood, amberwood, benzoin and birch. The overall effect is smoky, woody and dark.

Is the bottle refillable?

Yes. Louis Vuitton sells Ombre Nomade in a refillable bottle, and refills are available separately.

How does it compare with other Louis Vuitton ouds?

It is the darkest and most oud-forward of the house's fragrances. Les Sables Roses is lighter and more rose-centered, while Ombre Nomade pushes smoke and resin much harder.
