Ex Nihilo Male Discovery Set

Description

The Ex Nihilo Male Discovery Set is a curated introduction to the Paris maison founded in 2013 by Sylvie Loday, Olivier Royère, and Benoît Verdier — a house built on bold, skin-close compositions that trade office-safe restraint for confident, after-dark character. This seven-fragrance set spans a decade of the house's night-leaning releases, from the spiced rose of Sloane Ravers to the citrus-amber warmth of Blue Talisman, giving you a real side-by-side of how Ex Nihilo's noses build intensity without losing polish.

What's Included (7 x 1mL Samples)

• Sloane Ravers (2022) — saffron, nutmeg and clove open into plum and tonka bean, settling on patchouli and cedar; part of the house's "Gangs of London" collection.
• Whiplash (2024) — orange, bergamot and mandarin brighten a spiced ginger-rose heart, grounded in ambrette, akigalawood and patchouli. By perfumer Dalia Izem.

• Fleur Narcotique EDP (2014) — litchi, bergamot and peach lead into peony, orange blossom and jasmine, resting on musk, moss and woody notes. By perfumer Quentin Bisch.
