More about Ex Nihilo The Hedonist Extrait
The Hedonist Extrait by Ex Nihilo is a 2024 unisex woody-aromatic composition crafted by perfumer Jordi Fernandez. Ex Nihilo The Hedonist Extrait is the extrait version of Ex Nihilo's The Hedonist, exalting the strong character of The Hedonist, with woody, aromatic and citrus accords. It opens with addictive fruity top notes of grapefruit and ginger over a citrus bergamot accord. The heart notes reveal an interplay of lychee and akigalawood, enriched with cedarwood. The base notes are boosted with powerful patchouli, amberwood, vetiver and tonka bean, for a long-lasting sillage on the skin. Grapefruit, ginger and lychee give the fruity side, while akigalawood, cedarwood and vetiver carry the woody one. Fall and winter are its seasons, and night is when it is worn most, with some daytime wear too. It suits anyone who wants a rich, woody scent with a fruity, citrusy opening for cool evenings.
