Launched in 2017 by Ex Nihilo, Atlas Fever is a woody vanilla fragrance created by perfumer Shyamala Maisondieu. This composition opens with the rich warmth of incense and red berries before transitioning to a heart of narcissus and vanilla, which adds a sweet yet sophisticated note. The base notes of tonka bean, sandalwood, oak, guaiac wood, and cedar create a smoky, balsamic foundation that is both comforting and complex. Atlas Fever embodies the brand's commitment to avant-garde creativity and refined luxury.

Application Tips
Atlas Fever has a long-lasting base that builds gradually on the skin. Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points — it's best experienced close to the body rather than diffused into the air. This fragrance is particularly suited for evenings, when its smoky and vanilla notes can truly shine.
