Louise Turner shows the flower through essential oil, a pure absolute and two abstract notes, then gives it a sweet turn with a natural strawberry extract from an upcycling process and a pistachio accord. Ambery woods hold it all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Upcycled natural Strawberry, Bergamot, Pink pepper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Rose absolutes, Pistachio accord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Cedarwood, Akigalawood™, Ambrofix™, Tonka bean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStrawberry and pink pepper\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe opening is bright and fruity. Strawberry, which the brand takes as a natural extract from an upcycling process, meets bergamot and a spark of pink pepper. The fruit is sweet, but the citrus and the dry, peppery lift keep it in check, so the start feels lively rather than syrupy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRose and pistachio\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRose absolutes take the centre and give the perfume its depth: full, rounded and a little jammy beside the strawberry. The pistachio accord adds a soft, nutty, faintly creamy note, a quiet sweetness that gives the rose a different texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAmbery woods\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCedarwood supplies a dry, clean wood, while Akigalawood™ and Ambrofix™ give the base an ambery, woody warmth, and tonka bean adds a soft, smooth sweetness. Together they form what the brand calls a deep canvas. The rose and fruit fade into it slowly, and the finish is warm and woody.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to wear it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA confident evening perfume that also works for dressed-up days. The sweetness is clear, so two sprays are usually enough; apply at the neck and wrists and let the fruit settle before the rose takes over. It suits cooler seasons and spring evenings; in the heat of high summer a lighter hand is wiser.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor people who like rose with a modern turn: fruit and nuts, then woods, instead of a classic powdery rose. It suits someone who enjoys a little sweetness and wants wood underneath to balance it. A dry, green or fresh floral is not what this offers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose Ex Nihilo Spiky Muse\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt places several forms of one flower side by side: essential oil, absolute and abstract rose notes, all composed by Louise Turner. The natural strawberry from upcycling fits the house's stated use of new-generation natural extracts. The result is a distinct, clearly intended rose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat is Spiky Muse centred on?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRose, in several forms: absolutes in the heart, with strawberry, bergamot and pink pepper above, and pistachio, woods and tonka bean below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs it very sweet?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is a noticeable fruity sweetness, but bergamot, pink pepper and cedarwood add dryness, so it reads as a rose with fruit rather than a candy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat is upcycled strawberry?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe brand names it as a natural strawberry extract obtained through an upcycling process.
