How it unfolds
-
A bright, juicy start
Bergamot, lychee and peach come first, bright and wet rather than candied. The Italian bergamot keeps the fruit from turning sugary, and the lychee adds a juicy, slightly watery note. It is a short overture that soon gives way to the flowers.
-
The bouquet
Petalia™, orange blossom and jasmine make a lush, dense bouquet. Nothing is shy here: the flowers are rich, a little heady and layered over each other. This is where the brand's word, overdose, applies, and where the perfume has its strongest presence.
-
Transparent woods and moss
As the flowers loosen, transparent wood, musk and moss take over. The woods are light, the musk soft, and the moss adds a faint green, earthy shade. The brand says the base lingers with an edgy allure, a restrained ending after such a full bouquet.
Wearing it
When, who and why
How to wear it
Spray two or three times on the chest and neck, or on the wrists, and let the bouquet unfold. It suits nights out and any moment when you want a bold floral. In warm weather use fewer sprays; the flowers carry well.
Who it is for
For people who like flowers with presence and find a simple single-flower scent too quiet. It suits anyone who enjoys a floral with a slightly daring side. A good fit for cultural events, dinners with friends and days when you want your perfume to be noticed.
Why choose Ex Nihilo Fleur Narcotique
Ex Nihilo gives emerging perfumers total creative freedom, and this bouquet shows what that can mean: lush flowers, a juicy fruit opening and a base of transparent wood and moss. It belongs to the house's Floral universe, with Quentin Bisch credited on the brand's product page.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
