Identity and Release History

In 2016, the world of perfumery was enriched by a bold creation — the Musc fragrance from the French niche house Ex Nihilo, founded in 2013 by three friends striving for innovation.

This perfume is part of the exclusive collection Les Sublimes Essences, known for its concentrated and long-lasting formulas that are perfect for true connoisseurs of complex compositions.

Positioning and Character

Ex Nihilo Musc is positioned as a unisex fragrance, making it a versatile choice for men and women seeking depth and longevity.

In the form of perfume oil, it offers an intense and slow unfolding on the skin, with a noticeable trail that surrounds you with a warm aura.

Belonging to the Floral and Musk families, this fragrance skillfully combines delicate accents with a deep base, ideally suited for cool evenings or special occasions where its musky-floral character makes an unforgettable impression.

Authorship and Influence

The creation of this unique fragrance was worked on by the famous perfumer Olivier Pescheux, known for his ability to reinterpret classic notes in a modern way.

His work on Ex Nihilo Musc strengthens the brand's reputation as a pioneer in experimental perfumery, offering an alternative to more traditional musk compositions and enriching the Ex Nihilo line with a creation that has gained recognition among niche perfume lovers for its uniqueness and elegance.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The note pyramid of Ex Nihilo Musc begins with a spicy and energetic chord of cloves, which quickly softens, flowing into the floral heart of the composition.

Here reigns the harmony of airy freesia, sunny orange blossom, and tender rose, creating a rich and enveloping bouquet.

In the base, the fragrance gains solidity thanks to synthetic notes of cosmone and nirvanolide, which, in tandem with earthy patchouli and pure musk, form a long-lasting, warm, and memorable finale, perfectly highlighting the unisex character of this creation.

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.
