Lust in Paradise by Ex Nihilo opens on a single bright note, pink pepper, before softening into white peony and lychee, floral and faintly juicy at once. The base is quieter, white cedarwood, musk and amber, giving it a clean, slightly powdery finish rather than anything heavy. Released in 2021, it is an easy fit for men and women both, and it suits an easy, put-together kind of day, including a shift at work. Voters wear it in summer and spring, always by day. On longevity, the community vote leans moderate. Most wearers also call the sillage moderate, so it sits without disappearing. A 3ml decant is enough to wear through a working week and see how it settles on you.

The community verdict
For someone who likes peony with a fruity lift, Lust in Paradise opens with pink pepper before peony and lychee emerge, then settles into musk and white cedarwood. Wear time is split between moderate and long-lasting, while most find projection moderate. It suits summer days, spring and the office; the peony can be prominent.

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.
