Demon Dancer by Ex Nihilo, a 2026 release composed by Jordi Fernandez, is a bright, energetic unisex scent. Bergamot, blood orange, peppermint and rhubarb crackle in the top notes, fizzy and almost tart. Through the heart, orange blossom and blackcurrant bring a fruit-and-flower pulse. The base notes are modern: akigalawood, georgywood, ambrofix, tonka bean and musk. Citrus, fresh and woody, it suits anyone who wants lively energy over something quiet. Voters wear it in summer and spring, for daytime and the office. Longevity and sillage votes both lean the same way, towards long-lasting and strong, so a couple of sprays can carry a working day. It has the kind of fizz that suits a bright summer morning at the office. Check the citrus and woody energy yourself with a 3ml decant before you commit.

The community verdict
Demon Dancer brings bergamot, blood orange and peppermint into orange blossom and blackcurrant, then settles on woody base notes. The leading verdict is long-lasting with strong projection, though some find both moderate. Its fresh, citrus style fits summer days, with spring and the office also working well.
