Venenum Kiss by Ex Nihilo, launched in 2015 and crafted by perfumer Quentin Bisch, is a composition that balances freshness with warmth. The fragrance opens with the vibrant notes of saffron and nutmeg, creating an initial burst of energy. This gives way to a heart of rose and neroli, which adds a delicate floral touch before settling into a base of amber, vanilla, sandalwood, and styrax. Venenum Kiss is neither overwhelmingly sweet nor too spicy; it's a harmonious blend that speaks to both the modernity and refinement Ex Nihilo is known for.
