Not in an overpowering way — more like the softest, most— within reach of cooling sea spray — topped with a wedge of syrupy pineapple: sweet and indulgent, but fresh and invigorating at the same time. There was just one problem: every time I askedin New York, Refinery29 senior fashion writer Victoria Montalti asked celebrities which perfume they were wearing, and the love for Ex Nihilo abounded on the red carpet.
Take OlympianAs a fragrance fanatic, I’ve tried my fair share of niche perfume brands, but few are as impressive as Ex Nihilo. Still, a couple of newer launches had somehow escaped my radar — until now. Naturally, I made it my mission to smell as many as possible and determine which ones are actually worth the hype.
With that in mind, here are some of the most compliment-worthy Ex Nihilo fragrances, ranked in order of how much I love them as a perfume-obsessed beauty director. Blue Talisman is my favorite fragrance in Ex Nihilo’s perfume dynasty because it encapsulates all the best parts of being on vacation.
The vodka tonic and lime on the plane; the warm air that envelops you on landing; salty shoulders slathered in coconut sunscreen; soapy skin as you wash off the day; orange blossom cooling off from the heat on the walk down to dinner. That’s all down to the ripe pear, fizzy bergamot, skin-like musk, and the peppery warmth of ginger, not to mention the aforementioned orange blossom petals.
All of this makes it cozy and comforting, but the cedarwood gives it a slightly salty edge that means it transcends summer. It’s best on skin, where it gets toastier with each minute of wear as it mingles with your natural skin smell. I can’t get enough, and it seems I’m not alone, with countless five-star reviews echoing the same obsession. Especially with theyou’ll absolutely love this new extrait — a stronger, longer-lasting version of the original.
Perfumer Louise Turner has bottled the magic of a sunset on the coastline. The jasmine is intense and creamy, as though the petals have been baking in the sun all day, but it’s the Petalia — a synthetic rose molecule — that makes this so delicious and distinctly Middle Eastern. It’s like tucking into a bowl of Turkish delight and lychees, while the blackcurrant and cedarwood notes give it a tangy, green edge.
I can’t stop smelling myself when I wear this — and it’s one of my most complimented fragrances.wearing The Hedonist — and loving it. In fact, my partner and I regularly share this scent, and we agree that it’s a safe “blind” buy. The top notes are peppery ginger and zingy bergamot, but on the dry-down, the milky cedarwood and crunchy vetiver give it a slightly minty edge, like taking in a breath of cool air.
Unlike plenty of other perfumes, that freshness doesn’t fade throughout the day. It’s one of those fragrances that can be worn anywhere:, the office, even on a flight if you can’t be without a single spritz on the wrist — just for you. If you want your partner to smell incredible, gift them this — and make sure you get to borrow it, too. Think you hate florals?
Think again. Most floral scents are either too overpowering or fall completely flat , but this lands perfectly in the middle. Creamy jasmine is balanced by airy orange blossom with a fresh linen feel, while peony keeps things soft and light. Wood and moss add a green, earthy edge.
Imagine a verdant florist with freshly washed laundry hanging in the back, and you’ve got it down to a T. Hailey Bieber is also said to be a big fan. I’m not usually a fan of santal, but I’ll always make an exception for Santal Calling; it feels incredibly elevated.
The only way I can describe it is this: you’re drinking an expensive latte in the softest cashmere turtleneck, reading a brand new book, and catching that faintly nutty, papery smell from the fresh pages. Milky accord, vanilla, and, of course, sandalwood give it a creamy, skin-like warmth with just enough woody depth. I always recommend it as a wedding scent. Soft, comforting, and memorable all at once.
Gourmands — scents with dessert-like notes — are reigning supreme, but if you’re on the hunt for a more grown-up version, look no further than Spiky Muse. It’s strawberry picking in the warm afternoon sun, bottled. Think fragrant leaves, freshly cut grass, and a subtle sweetness from overripe strawberries, lifted with a sprinkling of spicy pink pepper, rich pistachio accord, and cocooning amber. It’s always the most-spritzed Ex Nihilo fragrance in any department store I walk into.
Think of the sexiest man you know, and you’re halfway to understanding how special Speed Legends is. It’s somewhere between Davidoff Cool Water and Dior Fahrenheit thanks to smoky clary sage, grassy vetiver, spicy pink pepper, and soft mandarin, but the amber woods and vanilla-esque tonka bean give it a warm depth that’s like pulling on a loved one’s favorite jacket. I’ve found that the eau de parfum is one of the longest-lasting fragrances in Ex Nihilo’s collection.
