The story behind the bottle.
Viper Green by Ex Nihilo, launched in 2017 and crafted by Nadège Le Garlantezec, is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that captures the essence of a "femme fatale". The composition opens with a vibrant burst of Mandarin Orange, which contrasts sharply with the earthy, green tones of Galbanum at its heart. The base note of Vetiver anchors the scent, grounding it in a woody and balsamic embrace.
Apply a light spritz to pulse points — the Mandarin Orange top note is bright and fleeting, but the Vetiver base will linger throughout the day. It reads best when worn close to skin rather than diffused widely.
