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.
