The story behind the bottle.
Fascinate by Ex Nihilo is a Floral Green fragrance for women and men, crafted by perfumer Louise Turner. This composition opens with the bright sparkle of pink pepper and green leaves before transitioning into the heart of jasmine sambac and rose. The base notes of cedarwood, vanilla, and musk create a warm, enveloping embrace that contrasts beautifully with the freshness above. It’s a scent that captures the essence of French refinement and avant-garde creativity, blending crisp green tones with rich florals and sweet vanilla.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points — the pink pepper and green leaves will greet you initially before giving way to the warm vanilla base. This fragrance blooms gradually over time, so it’s best enjoyed close to skin rather than from a distance.
