Ex Nihilo Venenum kiss: history and identity

In 2015, the perfume house Ex Nihilo introduced the unisex fragrance Venenum kiss, which instantly won the hearts of niche perfume connoisseurs.

Released in the collection Initiale, this fragrance reflects the innovative spirit of the brand, founded in 2013 by three friends — Olivier Royere, Benoit Verdier, and Sylvie Lodey.

Their philosophy "from nothing" was embodied in bold and elegant creations, and Venenum kiss is a vivid example of this approach, offering a unique blend of spices, flowers, and warm accords.

Positioning and application practice

As a unisex fragrance, Venenum kiss is perfect for men and women who appreciate versatility and complexity.

Its medium sillage softly envelops without overwhelming the space, and in the format of eau de parfum, it provides balanced longevity.

For optimal effect, it is recommended to use 1 to 2 sprays on the skin and 1 to 2 sprays on clothing.

This fragrance is excellent for evening outings or special occasions, and its warm and floral notes harmonize particularly well with cool weather.

If you liked Venenum kiss, you might be interested in similar fragrances: Alexandre.J Altesse Mysore, Montale Aoud Amber Rose or Etat Libre d`Orange True Lust Rayon Violet De Ses Yeux.

Authorship and brand philosophy

The creator of this masterpiece was the talented perfumer Quentin Bisch, known for his ability to blend tradition with modernity.

His work on Venenum kiss fully reflects the DNA of Ex Nihilo — a pursuit of experimentation, elegance, and uniqueness.

The fragrance belongs to the Oriental, Floral, and Woody families, and its notes cover the Amber, Balsamic, Floral, Gourmand, Green, Spicy and Woody groups, highlighting its multifaceted nature.

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.
