The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016 by Ex Nihilo, Love Shot is a Chypre Fruity fragrance that defies gender norms and captures the essence of Parisian elegance. Perfumer Natalie Gracia-Cetto crafted this composition around raspberry, leather, and musk notes to create an intriguing blend of sweetness and warmth. The top note of raspberry introduces a fresh, fruity aroma that transitions into the rich, seductive tones of leather in the heart. The base of musk rounds out the fragrance with a smoky, powdery finish.
Apply a light spritz to your pulse points — the raspberry top note is bright but fleeting, while the leather and musk base notes linger for hours. This fragrance reads better close to skin than across a room, so aim for an intimate rather than expansive application.
