Ex Nihilo Outcast Blue EDP

Description

Outcast Blue is Ex Nihilo's 2019 tribute to rule-breakers, composed by perfumer Jordi Fernández. A peppery saffron opening gives way to a cedar heart, then dries down into tobacco, vetiver and oakmoss: a confident, smoky woody-spicy signature built for those who set their own terms.

How It Differs From Outcast Blue Extrait

• Outcast Blue EDP: the original 2019 formula; woody-spicy with a lighter tobacco-vetiver drydown, suited to all-day wear.
• Outcast Blue Extrait: a 2022 amplification with real agarwood added to the base, for a deeper, longer-lasting, more skin-clinging version of the same idea.

Scent Character

• Woody: 41%
• Warm Spicy: 30%
• Smoky/Resinous: 20%
• Floral: 9%

Translation: a smoky, tobacco-driven woody-spicy fragrance with a fleeting floral top note.

Note: this formula doesn't contain agarwood/oud. Its smoky depth comes from tobacco, oakmoss and patchouli, not real oud.
