The Ex Nihilo perfume to try first is Blue Talisman, a citrus that opens on Pear, Bergamot, Mandarin Orange and Ginger and that community voters pick for spring and summer. If you lean floral, Lust in Paradise is a peony and lychee scent with the shortest note list of the ten, and if you want woods for the cooler months, The Hedonist Extrait is the one voted for fall and winter. All ten come as 3ml or 10ml decants poured from the original bottle.
How to choose between these Ex Nihilo perfumes
10ML stocks eleven Ex Nihilo perfumes, and this guide covers ten of them. All ten are listed as unisex, so there is no split into men's and women's scents to work through: you choose by character and season instead. Six of them are three pairs, each a plain scent and an Extrait of the same name: Blue Talisman, Fleur Narcotique and The Hedonist. The Ex Nihilo page lists every bottle; the aim here is a first pick. Buying blind is easier with a short read first: how to choose perfume without smelling it shows what to look for in a notes list.
A quick map by mood and season:
- Citrus with orange blossom: Blue Talisman, voted for spring and summer, and Blue Talisman Extrait de Parfum, voted for summer.
- Peony florals: Lust in Paradise, Fleur Narcotique, Fleur Narcotique Extrait and Gold Immortals.
- Woody and aromatic: The Hedonist, The Hedonist Extrait, Speed Legends Living on the Edge and Demon Dancer.
- Cooler months: The Hedonist Extrait is voted for fall and winter, while Fleur Narcotique Extrait and The Hedonist are each voted for fall among other seasons.
Seven of the ten are voted for summer, so these ten lean warm-weather in the community votes.

Citrus and orange blossom, for warm days
Two scents that share Pear, Bergamot and Orange Blossom, with a longer base in the Extrait.
Blue Talisman by Ex Nihilo
- Gornje note
- Bergamot, Đumbir, Mandarina, Kruška
- Srednje note
- Georgywood, Cvijet naranče
- Bazne note
- Ambrofix, Mošus
- Doba dana

Blue Talisman opens with Pear, Bergamot, Mandarin Orange and Ginger. The heart is Orange Blossom and Georgywood, and the base is Akigalawood, Musk and Ambrofix. It launched in 2023 and is listed as unisex, with citrus, fruity, sweet, musky, woody, fresh spicy and white floral among its accords. The fruit and citrus lead, and the woods and musk settle underneath.
For Blue Talisman, most community voters rate its longevity moderate. Its sillage gets a moderate majority vote as well. It is voted for spring and summer and for day wear, and its listed occasion is work. We put it first for a warm working day.
Blue Talisman Extrait de Parfum by Ex Nihilo
- Gornje note
- Bergamot, Kruška
- Srednje note
- Jasmin sambac, Cvijet naranče
- Bazne note
- Ambrasto drvo, Ambrofix, Mošus, Sandalovina
- Doba dana
- Večer
Blue Talisman Extrait de Parfum keeps Bergamot and Pear on top, Orange Blossom in the heart, and Ambrofix and Musk in the base. Jasmine Sambac joins the heart, and Amberwood, Sandalwood and Vanilla join the base. It launched in 2024 and is listed as unisex, with white floral, woody, sweet, fruity, citrus and amber accords, plus powdery, vanilla, aquatic and musky.
So the difference on the listing is a shorter top, a jasmine heart and a base that adds woods and vanilla. Community votes on its longevity lean eternal, then long lasting. Voters rate its sillage strong. It is voted for summer, for evening and day wear.
Peony florals
Four scents with Peony in the heart, from a peony and lychee floral to an oriental one.
