Launched in 2014, Rose Hubris by Ex Nihilo is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that embodies the brand's commitment to avant-garde luxury and refined elegance. The composition centers on a robust rose note, balanced with earthy undertones of patchouli and oakmoss, creating an intriguing tension between sweetness and groundedness. Givaudan crafted this scent to be both unapologetically bold and subtly complex, making it a true reflection of Ex Nihilo's philosophy.

Application Tips
One or two sprays are sufficient — the initial burst of litchi and rose de mai is bright but fades into the earthy base notes over time. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than in a room, so aim for pulse points.
