Ex Nihilo Blue Talisman EDP

Description

Ex Nihilo Blue Talisman is a luminous, gender-neutral fresh-woody fragrance that wraps juicy pear and zesty bergamot around a soft, modern musk-and-amber drydown.

Composed by perfumer Jordi Fernández for the Parisian house Ex Nihilo and released in 2023 as the brand's 10th-anniversary signature, Blue Talisman quickly became the house's most talked-about scent. Reviewers describe it as an easy-wearing, versatile crowd-pleaser: bright and clean up top, smooth and skin-hugging as it settles.
