Bond No. 9 NoMad EDP

Note: All of our 1mL samples come in a 2mL vial, the sample will be filled halfway.

Description

NoMad is Bond No. 9's answer to the modern niche-oud craze: a 2021 release from perfumer Miroslav Petkov built around real Southeast Asian agarwood, softened with rose and a plush amber-vanilla base rather than played smoky or medicinal. Named for Manhattan's design-hotel neighborhood, it's meant to read confident and worldly without tipping into cliche "oud cologne" territory.

Scent Character

• Oud (real agarwood): 50%
• Floral: 50%

Translation: an even split between genuine agarwood woodiness and a rose-violet floral heart, oud that leans elegant and floral rather than dark and smoky.

FAQ

Is NoMad for men or women?
Unisex. The rose-oud pairing is designed to be shared.

Is the oud real agarwood?
Yes. NoMad uses genuine agarwood, paired with rose, violet leaf and orris in the heart.

How long does it last?
Moderate: plan on 4–6 hours. It's a softer, closer-wearing oud than some of Bond No. 9's more projecting releases: sample first if longevity is your top priority.

How does it compare to other Bond No. 9 oud fragrances?
NoMad is rosier and more floral than Bond's darker, resinous oud releases. It's built for versatility rather than maximum projection.
