What wearers say
“My husband bought this for me and I LOVE IT and he LOVES it on me!!!!! This is a very nice fragrance. I think it smells better in fall/winter weather. I don't think this is a summer scent. Longevity is GREAT!!! and that's what I love. If i'm gonna spend 400 dollars on a fragrance it better last. Took a bath and could still smell this on me the next day. A little goes a long way. Well worth every penny. Thanks Hubby!”
“I purchased a sample of this to try based on many positive reviews. And it is a beautiful oud floral very sweet fragrance. I have several Roberto Cavalli Imperial Oud fragrances that are very similar in opening and dry down less than half the price I won’t be purchasing just due to the fact That I already have something extremely similar. I certainly prefer this bottle but will continue to enjoy the Roberto Cavalli imperial fragrances. If you’re looking for something, not quite as costly look into giving that line a try.”
“I am attracted to most of the fragrances from Bond 9. The only problem i have is that none of them last long enough for the price point and the different notes present a disappointing performance from top to base.Nomad specifically smells great but its like “edging”. It gets you in the mood, you get close but no climax.”

Sillage
The clone performs adequately for the price point but with reduced sillage and shorter longevity (4-5 hours vs. 7-8 hours on the original). The incense and leather notes are slightly muted, making it less bold and commanding than NoMad.

Sillage
The Traveler lacks the sophisticated leather-incense intensity of the original, presenting a more accessible but less complex interpretation. Performance-wise, expect noticeably reduced longevity and sillage compared to NoMad.
