Ex Nihilo Cologne 352 Sample
Cologne 352 by Ex Nihilo, as a decant
Cologne 352 by Ex Nihilo is a perfume, and this page is about trying it in a small size. No note list is on record with us for this perfume, and we do not guess one. Start with 2, 5 or 10 ml and give it a few days, so that the first impression is not the only one. Write down what you notice after a few minutes and again after lunch, and you will see how it moves.

Notes: not on file
For Ex Nihilo Cologne 352 no note list is on record with us. We only print notes we can trace to a source, so this page names none; wear it and judge. Pay attention to what is still there by the evening, since that is the part you live with longest.
-
On request
The status of Cologne 352 is on request. That is an honest way of saying it is on our list but not yet in a vial. The form on this page is where you raise your hand. Do not judge it next to other perfumes on the same arm, as they blur each other.

How the sample is made
For this sample, FragranceGems takes Cologne 352 from the original bottle and fills a glass spray vial with it. The label on the vial is ours. Keep the vial away from heat and direct sunlight, as you would a full bottle. The smallest size covers a first impression, the largest gives you many wearings.
Testing it
How to test it, for whom and why
How to test it
When to wear Cologne 352 is not on record with us; test it on the kind of day you would actually wear it. Leave other perfumes off that day, so nothing interferes. Check it after a few minutes, around midday and in the evening.
Who it is for
We hold no data on who Cologne 352 is meant for, so we do not label it. If you are choosing a gift, testing it yourself first tells you what you are giving. It suits people who like to put a few scents side by side over a week.
Why try Ex Nihilo Cologne 352 as a sample first
With a decant you find out in a week what a description cannot tell you in a page. The decant is filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. Ex Nihilo is not involved, and it is not an official brand sample.

Frequently asked
Is this a sample made by Ex Nihilo?
No. It is not an official brand sample. FragranceGems decants Cologne 352 from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labels it; the house is not involved.
Why does this page list no notes?
No note list is on record with us for Ex Nihilo Cologne 352, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
How do I test Cologne 352 properly?
Spray it on clean skin, do not rub, and check it after a few minutes, at midday and in the evening. Repeat that on a few different days before you decide about a bottle.
The brand
About Ex Nihilo
Ex Nihilo was founded in Paris in 2013 by Sylvie Loday, Olivier Royère and Benoît Verdier, three people from the luxury world who hand emerging perfumers carte blanche and, the brand says, the finest raw materials without cost constraints. The perfumes sit in four universes, floral, ambery, woody and citrus, and lean on modern materials such as Ambrofix and Akigalawood. Their airy, abstract style is easy to misjudge on paper; a 10 ml decant on skin is the fairer test.
- Founded in Paris in 2013 by Sylvie Loday, Olivier Royère and Benoît Verdier
- Works with emerging perfumers who are given total creative freedom
- Four olfactive universes: Floral, Ambery, Woody and Citrus

I really appreciate that I found a shop that has a wide range of authentic perfumes,fast delivery,great communication and very good prices. Thanks for everything!
Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
