The story behind the bottle.
Patchouli Memory by Ex Nihilo is a woody and oriental fragrance that Jordi Fernández launched in 2023. This composition begins with the crisp freshness of bergamot and clary sage, before transitioning into a heart of ylang-ylang, jasmine, and nutmeg, which adds a warm spicy element. The base notes feature patchouli, akigalawood, cedarwood, labdanum, and vanilla, creating an earthy and balsamic foundation that lingers with a sweet warmth.
This fragrance has a slow-building character, so it's best to apply two sprays initially. The top notes will dissipate within an hour, but the complex heart and base notes will continue to develop throughout the day. It pairs well with cooler evenings or indoor settings where its rich warmth can be fully appreciated.
