Ex Nihilo Oud Vendome opens with Galbanum and Ginger, moves through a heart of Saffron, and settles on Agarwood (Oud), Cedar and Incense. Overall it reads as a woody spicy fragrance.
Expect around 10 hours of wear, with strong sillage and above average projection that settles closer to the skin over time.
Yes — its woody spicy profile suits year-round wear, both daytime and evening depending on the occasion.
Top: Galbanum and Ginger. Heart: Saffron. Base: Agarwood (Oud), Cedar and Incense.
It works as a versatile signature; its strong sillage keeps it appropriate for both casual and dressed settings.
Projection is above average in the opening hours, driven by its Agarwood (Oud), Cedar and Incense foundation, before it softens to a skin scent.
