The Hedonist Extrait by Ex Nihilo is a citrus, aromatic woody scent composed by Jordi Fernandez and launched in 2024. Bergamot, ginger and grapefruit lead the top notes with a tart, quick snap. In the heart, akigalawood, cedarwood and lychee pair fruit with timber in an unusual, likeable way. Amberwood, patchouli, tonka bean and vetiver hold the base notes, warm and faintly sweet. It is unisex, made for people who want their citrus to carry more weight. Fall and winter get the votes, and only after dark. As it dries down, the scent turns darker and more woody, leaving the citrus behind. The community is clear on this one: most wearers call its longevity long-lasting, and most call its sillage strong. A few late evenings in a 3ml decant will tell you whether it earns a place in your rotation.

The community verdict
The Hedonist Extrait brings bergamot, ginger and grapefruit into cedarwood, then settles on amberwood and patchouli. Most find it long-lasting with strong projection. Its woody, aromatic character fits autumn nights, though winter and daytime work too.
