Fragrance information:

In the world of niche perfumery Ex Nihilo stands out as a daring innovator, and the fragrance Citizen X, released in 2017, became a vivid embodiment of this philosophy.

This universal perfume, presented in the concentration of perfume water, is part of the iconic Iconoclaste collection, which challenges traditions and reinterprets classical forms.

Since its appearance, Citizen X has captivated the attention of connoisseurs with its modern and charismatic character, perfectly reflecting the spirit of urban elegance.

Identity and Release History

Founded in 2013, the house Ex Nihilo, whose name translates to "from nothing," symbolizes creation from a blank slate, and Citizen X is part of this bold legacy.

Released in 2017, this fragrance responded to the demands of a modern audience seeking something beyond the mainstream.

It belongs to the amber, oriental, and woody families, making it multifaceted and suitable for different times of day and seasons.

Citizen X is not just a perfume, but a style statement that resonates with those who value innovation and exclusivity in perfumery art.

Positioning and Wearability

As a unisex fragrance, Citizen X offers freedom of self-expression for all, regardless of gender.

It is ideal for cool evenings, formal events, or moments when you want to highlight your confidence and sophistication.

While specific information about sillage and dosage on skin or clothing is lacking, general recommendations for perfume water suggest moderate application for a long-lasting and elegant effect.

This perfume is created for those who are not afraid to stand out and value depth and complexity in fragrances.

Creators and Influence

Behind the creation of Citizen X is the talented perfumer Yann Vasnier, known for his ability to combine traditional elements with contemporary accents.

His work on this fragrance emphasizes craftsmanship in constructing complex compositions that tell stories.

Citizen X not only strengthened Ex Nihilo's reputation as an innovative brand but also contributed to the popularization of unisex perfumes that break stereotypes.

It is an example of how a bold idea can turn into a cult product, inspiring fans worldwide.

Description of the composition

The pyramid of notes Citizen X is a masterfully crafted journey from a bright opening to a deep base.

In the top notes, mastic tree and white pepper create a piercing and captivating start, reminiscent of a flash of light in the night city.

In the heart of the composition, iris adds an enveloping softness and sophistication, smoothing out sharp accents and preparing the ground for the final chord.

The base unfolds through frankincense, woody chord and musk, forming a charismatic and lasting sound with smoky and warm tones.

This composition evolves smoothly on the skin, leaving behind a trail of modern masculinity and refinement, which is perfect for those seeking depth and character in perfume.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
High (5 to 12 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.
Sillage

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.
