Fleur Narcotique Signature Musc

Ex Nihilo · 2022

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Ex Nihilo Fleur Narcotique Signature Musc is a fresh, floral unisex scent with citrus, fruit and a soft, powdery sweetness. It opens fruity and bright with peach, lychee and bergamot. At the heart, peony, orange blossom and jasmine bring the floral side forward, with a creamy, gourmand softness alongside. In the base, woody notes, musk and moss settle the scent onto a powdery footing. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so take that as a first impression. Fresh yet sweet, it suits women and men alike. Ex Nihilo Fleur Narcotique (Eau de Parfum) and MAD Parfumeur Narcotic have a close profile.

Extrait de Parfum

Ex Nihilo Vendomania Extrait de Parfum is a unisex scent that sets a floral, spicy opening on a woody, creamy and leathery base. Saffron and bergamot open it, with jasmine, iris and cocoa powder in the heart. The base holds patchouli, sandalwood, oud, leather and vanilla. The floral side softens with cocoa and vanilla, while wood and leather keep a warm foundation beneath the spice throughout. Voters rate its longevity and sillage as strong, though the number of votes is small. Its concentrated build and leathery, spicy character suit cooler weather and evenings best. It does not lean masculine or feminine and works on anyone. Ex Nihilo Vendomania and Macoré Oud Premier have a close profile.

Amber Sky Signature Rose de Mai

8.6

Ex Nihilo · 2021

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

Ex Nihilo Amber Sky Signature Rose de Mai is a unisex fragrance that sets a sweet floral rose on a spicy, resinous and smoky base; it has been discontinued. May rose forms the core, while amber and sandalwood soften it and add sweetness, and cedarwood brings a dry, woody edge. The spicy and smoky accords deepen the floral side without making it harsh, and the resinous character keeps the whole scent warm and dense. Voters find both longevity and sillage strong, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a first impression. The sweet, woody and smoky rose gives it a full character that reads equally well on men and women. Profumum Roma Amante and Kelsey Berwin Al Jawhara have a close profile.

Ex Nihilo · 2019

Fresh · Floral · Spicy

Ex Nihilo Magnetize is a fresh, floral scent for women, with spice, wood and a creamy softness running beneath the rose. It opens with ambrette and rose, reading fresh and floral from the first spray. In the heart, rose absolute, sandalwood and patchouli add a woody, spicy depth to the floral side. The base of musk and benzoin settles the scent into a soft, creamy finish. Rose stays at the centre from start to end, while the woods and spice give it a dry, warm frame.
