The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016 by Olivier Pescheux for Ex Nihilo, Amber Sky is a unisex Oriental Spicy fragrance that balances the warmth of amber with fresh spicy notes. The composition opens with coriander and bergamot, creating an aromatic tension before settling into a heart of geranium and nutmeg. The base layers in tonka bean, vanilla, cedar, and sandalwood for a powdery, warm finish. This fragrance is a proof of Ex Nihilo's dedication to blending avant-garde creativity with the refined essence of French luxury.
Apply Amber Sky to pulse points for the best longevity. The fresh spicy notes fade quickly after about an hour, but the powdery base will linger throughout the day. This fragrance reads better close to skin rather than filling a room, so a few precise sprays are more effective than heavy application.
