Click on the link for Comme des Garcons (in first sentence of article) for list of stores, but not sure they still make these. I am sorry I do not know the concentration.

I'm so happy! I also won a bottle of Wood Coffee as well:)) O used to bid on Nomad Tea before but the seller always cancelled the auction before it's end even when the bids are high... well I just wanted to share my happy news because I have never been forced to look for something the way I had to look for Nomad Tea. But when something is harder to get, You appreciate it even more. I just won a FULL bottle of Nomad Tea on Ebay! I'm so happy!

If you are willing to make a phone call to NYC, you could call the CdG boutique in Chelsea & see if they've got a bottle they would ship to you, otherwise, all I can think of is to have it shipped from the Dover Street Market in London. I guess it's also possible that Barneys in NYC has a bottle though -- their website is never complete. So you could call them too. Sorry I'm not more help, some guru!

I wanted a full bottle, I know perfumedcourt has decants but I was hoping for that "garlic-bulb" with that beautiful fragrance in it. I know from the Scented Salamander blog that it has not been discontinued as it is still sold in select boutiques however right now I am unable to fly anywhere just to buy a bottle of perfume:)) Nowsmellthis! I know You have a lot of knowledge and You are our Perfume Guru, maybe You know where I can get it? PLEASE anyone knows where I can purchase a bottle of Nomad Tea on the internet?

I did give it a very quick sniff at Barneys some time ago, as I said above, but still haven't had the chance to try on skin. I don't go to NY as often as I used to -- but will manage it eventually!

I'm have a tea drinking addiction and I love the idea of tea perfumes, although I've been generally disappointed by 'green tea' scents. I digress. I live in the south and sweet iced tea is always, always in the fridge here. Nomad tea smells exactly like my kitchen when I make tea! My method of iced tea is to put a small saucepan of water to boil, add sugar while it's boiling until dissolved, remove from heat and add tea bags to steep, then pour into cold water. I almost always spill a couple grains of sugar onto the burner - the smell of burnt sugar followed by the tea steeping really has been bottled perfectly here. It's almost overwhelmingly sweet for a couple minutes, but it mellows so nicely. I think I'll try layering it with bergamonte tomorrow to give it some staying power. I think (like you've said before) the actual spray instead of the splash sample would last longer. Nomad Tea was the sample I tried this morning, so I thought I'd throw my 2 cents in.

The Sweet series just didn't capture my attention. I don't think they've ever bested the incense series, and even the Leaves & Red series somehow had more character & personality than the Sweet, at least to me. But will definitely look for the Nomad Tea next I'm in Barneys! It is true that it is senseless to expect massive complexity or lasting power from the series scents — that isn't what they're about.

But it's the white-smoke-and-strong-tea drydown of this one that I think is above average. But, true to your complaint, there's not much complexity going on beyond that. (It is just somewhat novel, I think, to encounter a fragrance that smells like cigarettes, and even moreso to discover that it does so in a pleasant way! But, alas, I guess that's what all of the Series lines are about anyway: novelty over lasting substance.)
