Launched in 2018, Nocturama by Ex Nihilo is an Oriental fragrance for both women and men, crafted by perfumer Yann Vasnier. This composition opens with a bright citrus note that quickly gives way to the warmth of spicy accords and yellow florals. The heart reveals a rich cacao aroma, which contrasts beautifully with subtle hints of leather and green notes. As it settles into its woody base, Nocturama exudes an animalic depth that brings a sense of mystery and intrigue.

Application Tips
Apply Nocturama sparingly to let its rich layers unfold over time. The citrus opening fades quickly, making way for the deeper notes that bloom throughout the day. Best worn in cooler evenings when the warmth of its base notes can be fully appreciated.
