The icon reopened, in brighter light.
Ex Nihilo is a Parisian house built on bespoke perfumery, and The Hedonist Extrait de Parfum is its reworking of the original. Jordi Fernández opens it on bergamot, ginger and grapefruit, a sharp citrus lift with a peppery edge. The heart turns woody and addictive as cedar and Akigalawood meet a juicy lychee accord, and the base settles into vetiver, tonka bean, patchouli and amber for a trail that stays close to warm skin.
This is an extrait, so it wears richer and lingers longer than the eau de parfum it descends from. The citrus opening keeps it easy through a Gulf afternoon while the woody amber base makes it just as convincing after dark, and its unisex woody-citrus signature suits anyone who prefers a fresh opening to a sweet one.
