Who Wears It
The story behind the bottle.
In Paradise Riviera by Ex Nihilo was launched in 2022, capturing the essence of a burning afternoon on the French Riviera with its floral woody musk composition. Perfumer Louise Turner crafted this scent around top notes of bergamot and heart notes of peony and tuberose, which are balanced by a base of musk and cashmeran. The fragrance is designed to evoke the voluptuous spirit of a sun-drenched Riviera afternoon, blending freshness with warmth.
This fragrance blooms gradually, so apply it an hour before you need to step out. The top notes of bergamot are fleeting, but the heart of peony and tuberose lasts longer, making it perfect for a day that transitions into early evening.
