EX NIHILO’s Heritage and History
Launched in 2013, EX NIHILO was founded by Sylvie Loday, Olivier Royère, and Benoît Verdier. The trio united their diverse expertise—ranging from engineering and biotechnology to a passion for contemporary art and photography—to defy the established technical boundaries of the perfume industry.
From its inception, the house has cultivated an outsider mindset, drawing inspiration from architecture, design, and avant-garde art. This foundation supports their goal of crafting distinctive scent compositions that reflect a forward-looking, optimistic vision of high perfumery.
What Do EX NIHILO Perfumes Smell Like?
The fragrance style of the house is defined by a bold marriage of exceptional natural raw materials and sophisticated synthetic molecules. These compositions often feature a distinct 'twist' that challenges traditional olfactory structures, resulting in creations that feel modern and avant-garde.
The house prioritises innovation, often incorporating biotechnology to achieve specific facets within a scent. Expect a varied palette ranging from clean, sunlit citrus and vibrant floral profiles to deeper, more complex woody and oriental expressions that provide a multifaceted experience on the skin.

EX NIHILO Fragrances to Explore at Zamoori
Blue Talisman presents an intricate progression of woody, citrus, and floral facets. It opens with bright top notes of pear, bergamot, mandarin orange, and ginger, transitioning into a heart of orange blossom and georgywood, before settling into a base of musk, ambroxan, and cedar.
Brompton Immortals is an oriental floral composition starting with saffron and pink pepper. The heart reveals a bouquet of rose, ylang-ylang, jasmine sambac, and lily, anchored by a base of vanilla, olibanum, patchouli, and white musk. Fleur Narcotique focuses on fruity, floral, and woody facets, opening with lychee, bergamot, and peach, moving through a heart of peony, orange blossom, jasmine, and petalia, finishing with musk, moss, and woody base notes.
