Description
Founded in Paris's 8th arrondissement in 2011, Ex Nihilo built its reputation on bespoke fragrance experiences and jewellery-grade flacons. Blue Talisman Extrait belongs to the house's QUINTESSENCE Collection — a tier reserved for the most intense and exclusive interpretations of the brand's key accords.
Perfumer Jordi Fernández designed an opening of pear and bergamot that reads as bright and approachable, but this initial lightness is deceptive: within minutes, orange blossom and jasmine sambac emerge with a lushness amplified by the extrait concentration. The floral heart is both opulent and precise, never spilling into excess.
Amberwood, Ambrofix, sandalwood, vanilla and musk form the base — a warm, resinous scaffold that holds the entire composition for hours. The dry-down shifts from bright fruit through full bloom to a deep amber-woody coda that lingers on skin well into the night.
For wholesale buyers targeting the niche and niche-luxe segment, Blue Talisman Extrait delivers a compelling story: a Parisian house, a celebrated perfumer, a bespoke-service heritage, and an extrait concentration that commands a premium price point with full justification.
