About Ex Nihilo Fleur Narcotique

Ex Nihilo Fleur Narcotique is a 2015 unisex Eau de Parfum, and it is the fragrance that put the house on the map. The name promises something heavy and hypnotic. What you actually get is bright, juicy and surprisingly easy to wear.

It opens on lychee and bergamot, sweet and a little tart, with peach sitting just behind. The heart is where the flowers arrive: peony and orange blossom, soft rather than sharp, with jasmine underneath. The base is musk and moss, which keeps the whole thing from turning sugary.

The trick is the balance. Fruity florals usually pick a side, either candy-sweet or clean and soapy. This one stays between the two, which is why it works on almost anyone and why it reads as unisex despite the flowers.

Performance is moderate rather than enormous. It sits close after the first hour and lasts most of a working day.

It is priced as niche, and the gap between what it costs and what it smells like has made it one of the most copied fragrances of the last decade.
