The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2025, Generation(s) by Ex Nihilo is a collaboration between perfumers Julien Tayac and Nadège Le Garlantezec. This Chypre Fruity fragrance opens with pear and pink pepper, creating a vibrant freshness that gives way to the warmth of fig and frankincense. The base notes of sandalwood, musk, and tonka bean provide a powdery, musky depth that grounds the composition in rich, warm spices and amber. Generation(s) embodies the brand's commitment to avant-garde creativity and refined luxury.
Apply Generation(s) to pulse points for a subtle yet lingering effect. The pear and pink pepper top notes are bright but fleeting, so it’s best to focus on the warmth that develops as the fragrance settles into the base notes of sandalwood and tonka bean.
