Explicite, tried on skin before you decide
This is Ex Nihilo Explicite, a perfume by Ex Nihilo, offered here as a sample. What it contains is not on record with us, so the description stops at the facts we have. Start with 2, 5 or 10 ml and give it a few days, so that the first impression is not the only one. Do not judge it next to other perfumes on the same arm, as they blur each other.

On the skin
For Ex Nihilo Explicite 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. One wearing shows a mood, several wearings show the perfume. Wear it on more than one day before you make up your mind.
On request means we do not have Ex Nihilo Explicite ready to decant at this moment. Your message through the form on this page tells us there is interest; we promise no date. Pay attention to what is still there by the evening, since that is the part you live with longest.
Ex Nihilo Explicite comes as 2, 5 or 10 ml in a glass spray vial, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle. It is labelled by us and not by the brand. The smallest size covers a first impression, the largest gives you many wearings.
Testing it
For Ex Nihilo Explicite we hold no season or occasion data, so try it in more than one setting. Start light; you can always add a spray on the next wearing. Note what you think each time, and read your notes back at the end of the week.
We hold no data on who Explicite is meant for, so we do not label it. If Ex Nihilo is new to you, a small vial is a calm way to get acquainted. Anyone who reacts strongly to certain notes is wise to test on skin first.
With a decant you find out in a week what a description cannot tell you in a page. The vial is filled and labelled by us, FragranceGems, from the original bottle. It is not an official brand sample and we are not affiliated with the house.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.
A decant is not an official brand sample: no box, no original bottle, and we are not affiliated with the brands.

No. It is not an official brand sample. FragranceGems decants Explicite from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labels it; the house is not involved.
No note list is on record with us for Ex Nihilo Explicite, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
That depends on how long you want to test. The smallest vial is enough for a first impression of Explicite; the larger ones give you many wearings, in different weather and on different days.
The brand
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.

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.
