Now embarking on a new adventure, Nomade heads off on its maiden voyage for Egypt to reconnect with the roots of Maison founder Gaby Aghion, leading to the discovery of Nomade Nuit d’Égypte .
Since day one, Chloé has viewed the world through a unique lens. Driven by a constant yearning for discovery, theMaison celebrates authentic splendours both near and far.
This philosophy led to the creation of the first Nomade, an iconic fragrance situated at the crossroads of cultures that pays tribute to a lust for wandering and sharing.
BACK TO EGYPTIAN SOIL
Nomade Nuit d’Égypte is an homage to the creator’s homeland. Born in 1921 in Alexandria, Gaby Aghion later left Egypt for France in the mid-1940s. Ever since she founded Chloé in 1952, the memories of her birthplace havecontinually inspired the Maison’s style.
Recognised as the birthplace of perfumery, the first perfume known to humankind was created in Egypt: kyphi.
This substance was burnt by the priests of antiquity to honour the god Ra, but was also considered to be a precious remedy used in pharmacopoeia, hence its name meaning “twice good”.
Archaeologists have found various formulas to make kyphi, specifically at the Temple of Horus in Edfu and Temple of Hathor in Dendera. Today, Chloé reinterprets this precious alchemical art.
