The story behind the bottle.
Venenum Kiss Signature Rose de Mai, launched by Ex Nihilo in 2021, is a fragrance that embodies the brand's commitment to French refinement and avant-garde creativity. The composition centers around a signature rose de mai note, which is both delicate and intense, balanced by warm vanilla and powdery woods. This blend creates an olfactory experience that oscillates between the crispness of a fresh bloom and the comfort of a well-loved textile.
Apply a light layer to let the rose de mai note bloom naturally. The fragrance's warmth ensures it pairs well with fall evenings, but its crispness keeps it from feeling too heavy for cooler weather.
