Identity and Release History

In 2016, as a special gift for Valentine's Day, Ex Nihilo introduced the world to the fragrance Love Shot, which became a bright star in their collection Les Interdites.

This perfume, released in 2016, embodies the bold spirit of the brand's three founders — Olivier Royère, Benoît Verdier, and Sylvie Loday — and their desire to create something from nothing.

Love Shot is more than just a fragrance; it is a sensual message, inspired by the atmosphere of the 1970s, when extravagance, freedom of expression, and the sexual revolution merged into a single whirlwind of emotions.

Positioning and Wearability

Love Shot is positioned as a women's fragrance, but its universal energy also attracts those who value courage and independence.

Its concentration is eau de parfum, which ensures balanced longevity, and its trail is characterized as medium, ideal for daily wear or romantic evenings.

For optimal development, we recommend 1 to 2 sprays on the skin and 1 to 2 sprays on clothing — this is enough to surround yourself with a gentle yet confident cloud of fragrance.

Creators and Impact on the Brand

The creator of this seductive masterpiece is Nathalie Gracia-Cetto, a renowned perfumer from Givaudan, whose experience gave Love Shot a modern chypre character, although traditional chypre notes are absent here.

This fragrance reflects the DNA of Ex Nihilo — a blend of sophistication and boldness, strengthening the brand's reputation as a pioneer in niche perfumery.

Love Shot has become a symbol of Parisian femininity: refined, free-spirited, and always ready for new challenges.

Similar Fragrances and Further Exploration

If Love Shot has captured your heart, it's worth paying attention to similar fragrances, such as Chanel Coco Mademoiselle, Elizabeth Arden 5th Avenue Style, and Yves Saint Laurent Elle Summer Fragrance.

These compositions also combine fruity, floral, and woody notes, offering alternative options for fans of modern perfumery.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The note pyramid of Love Shot begins with a sparkling chord of bergamot, peony and spicy pink pepper, which creates a fresh and playful first impression.

At the heart of the fragrance, juicy raspberry, enveloping patchouli and delicate jasmine unfold, adding depth and sensuality.

The base notes, including a leather chord, warm vanilla, earthy vetiver and animalistic musk, provide longevity and complete the composition with a cozy, alluring trail.

This complex interplay of notes from the fruit, gourmet, leather, white flower and woody groups makes Love Shot a contemporary representative of the chypre family, albeit with a unique character.

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
Medium (2 to 5 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.

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.
