Demon Dancer by Ex Nihilo opens fast: bergamot, blood orange, peppermint and rhubarb crackle together in a fizzy, almost tart citrus burst. Orange blossom and blackcurrant add a fruity-floral pulse through the heart before a modern base built from musk, tonka bean, ambrofix, georgywood and akigalawood takes hold. Jordi Fernandez shaped it unisex, and it wears well on anyone who wants a bright, energetic scent rather than something quiet. People reach for it in summer and spring, mainly for daytime and the office. Staying power skews long-lasting in the community read, and sillage skews strong as well, so a couple of sprays carry a working day. A 3ml decant is enough to test its citrus and woody energy before you commit to more.

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.

The house
More from Ex Nihilo
Ex Nihilo was set up in Paris in 2013 by fragrance professionals who wanted luxury perfume to feel more personal and more artistic. Almost the whole range is unisex, and most of it is bright: bergamot, pear and lychee up top, with musk, cedarwood and vetiver underneath. Pink pepper and ginger add a spark. Start with Blue Talisman, a clean, fruity citrus that works almost anywhere. Lust in Paradise is the floral one, a fruity bloom over soft musk, and Fleur Narcotique sets fruity florals on a woody base. The Hedonist leans fresher and woodier. Several also come as an Extrait.
