Ex Nihilo The EDP Discovery Set

Description

Five Ex Nihilo Eau de Parfums in 1mL samples, covering the fresh, woody and soft sides of the Paris house. Two of them share a pear and bergamot opening and then go different ways, one toward clean musk and one toward warm amber. The other three move from zesty blackcurrant and sage to dry ginger and vetiver to a milky, creamy sandalwood. For anyone searching for an Ex Nihilo discovery set or sample set before choosing a bottle, this is a practical place to start. It is also an easy gift for someone new to the house, or for a friend who already wears one Ex Nihilo and wants to know what else it makes.

What's Inside

Five 1mL samples, all Eau de Parfum:

• Blue Talisman (EDP): pear, bergamot, ginger and mandarin, then orange blossom and Georgywood over Akigalawood, Ambrofix and musk. Bright, fruity and clean, with a soft musky finish.
• Speed Legends (EDP): bergamot, mandarin and pink pepper, then blackcurrant and clary sage over vetiver, tonka bean and ambery woods. Zesty and aromatic with a dark-fruit middle.
• The Hedonist (EDP): bergamot and ginger, then cedar and Akigalawood over Haitian vetiver, musk and tonka bean. Dry, spicy and woody.
• Santal Calling (EDP): nutmeg, then iris and a milk note over Australian sandalwood, musk and vanilla. Creamy, soft and powdery.
• Gold Immortals (EDP): pear and bergamot, then peony and Lysylang over musk, amber and tonka bean. A warm, glowing fruity floral.

How To Use a Discovery Set

Each 1mL sample comes in a 2mL vial filled halfway, so the vial will look half full. That is the correct amount, and it gives you roughly 15 sprays. Every vial is labeled with the fragrance name.

Wear one fragrance a day, on skin rather than a paper strip, and give it the whole day. The first ten minutes are the loudest and least representative part of any fragrance, so judge it at hour three. Once you have a shortlist of two, wear them on opposite wrists and compare. In this set, Blue Talisman and Gold Immortals start almost the same way, with pear and bergamot, so wear them on opposite wrists and check again after a few hours, when the difference between the musky and the ambery finish is clear.

Best For

• Trying Ex Nihilo for the first time before choosing a full bottle
• A gift for someone who likes clean, polished fragrances, or who already owns one Ex Nihilo bottle
• Comparing fresh and creamy styles side by side: citrus and blackcurrant against sandalwood and milk

FAQ

How much is in each sample?
1mL each, in a 2mL vial filled halfway, which is about 15 sprays.

Is this a good gift?
Yes, especially for someone who prefers fragrances that are clean and easy to wear rather than heavy. The set covers fruity, fresh, woody and creamy styles, so there is a good chance at least one fits.

Is this the Extrait set?
No. All five samples here are the Eau de Parfum versions. Ex Nihilo also makes Extrait versions of some of these fragrances, which are richer compositions and are not part of this set.

What if I love one of them?
Order a larger decant or a full bottle of that fragrance separately once you know which one you want.
