The story behind the bottle.
Speed Legends Night Drive by Ex Nihilo is a composition that balances fresh spiciness with warm ambers and woody notes. Launched in 2024 and crafted by perfumer Jordi Fernández, this fragrance opens with the zesty freshness of bergamot and ginger before transitioning to a heart of pink pepper and sage. The base notes feature patchouli, amberwood, tonka bean, and vetiver, creating an enveloping warmth that feels both modern and lasting.
Ex Nihilo is known for its avant-garde approach to luxury perfumery, combining the French spirit of refinement with innovative raw materials. Speed Legends Night Drive embodies this ethos by blending crisp citrus notes with rich ambers and earthy woods, offering a sophisticated olfactory experience.
One spray is enough for this fragrance as it develops quickly on the skin. The fresh spiciness of the top notes fades within two hours, but the warm base notes linger for much longer. Best worn in the evening when its richness can be fully appreciated.
