The story behind the bottle.
Ex Nihilo's Exalt is a composition crafted by perfumer Natalie Gracia-Cetto, capturing the essence of refinement and purity that the brand is known for. The fragrance opens with the delicate freshness of white tea, which gives way to the subtle floral notes of orange blossom in the heart. The base notes of rice powder and musk create an enveloping warmth, reminiscent of a finely crafted scent that embodies both sophistication and comfort.
Apply Exalt sparingly — the white tea top note is fleeting but impactful. Focus on pulse points to allow the base notes of rice powder and musk to linger throughout the day.
