Explore 78 Ex Nihilo fragrances — notes, longevity, sillage and community ratings, matched to how you want to smell. The house dates from 2013, founded by Sylvie Loday.
Ex Nihilo builds its range around woody and powdery accords. These two elements form the foundation of the house's identity, creating a consistent thread that runs through its many compositions. The fragrances often lean into this core structure, presenting a style that feels rooted in these familiar tonalities.
Alongside this base, the house incorporates musky and warm spicy facets, as well as bright citrus notes. Materials such as bergamot, pink pepper, patchouli, and musk appear frequently across the catalogue, supporting the central accords with texture and lift. While the woody and powdery character defines the overall register, the addition of spice and citrus ensures the compositions retain a dynamic edge. Fleur Narcotique is one of the fragrances that represents this specific approach to scent construction.
