Ex Nihilo Generation(s) Sample
Generation(s) in a small glass spray vial
Ex Nihilo Generation(s) is a perfume that we decant into glass spray vials of 2, 5 or 10 ml. We do not have its notes on record, which is one more reason to let your own nose decide. The small size, 2, 5 or 10 ml, is meant for exactly that: a few honest wearings before anything bigger. Write down what you notice after a few minutes and again after lunch, and you will see how it moves.

On the skin
How it unfolds
-
Notes: not on file
There is no pyramid on this page for Ex Nihilo Generation(s), because none is on record in our data. What it does on skin is for you to find out. Smell it right after applying and again later in the day, because the first minutes rarely tell the whole story.
-
On request
For now, Ex Nihilo Generation(s) can only be asked for. The form on this page records your interest in this perfume, and we make no promise about timing. Pay attention to what is still there by the evening, since that is the part you live with longest.

About the decant
The decant holds the same liquid as the full bottle of Ex Nihilo Generation(s), moved into a small glass spray vial by FragranceGems and labelled by us. A spray vial lets you apply it the way you would from the bottle, which a dab-on tube does not.
Testing it
How to test it, for whom and why
How to test it
Nothing on record ties Generation(s) to a season or a moment, and that makes a broad test the best one. Note what you think each time, and read your notes back at the end of the week. Spray it on the inside of your wrist or elbow and do not rub.
Who it is for
Who Generation(s) is aimed at is not on record with us. It suits people who like to put a few scents side by side over a week. Anyone who reacts strongly to certain notes is wise to test on skin first. People who tire of scents quickly do well with small sizes.
Why try Ex Nihilo Generation(s) as a sample first
Choosing a bottle unsmelled is a gamble, and a decant takes the gamble out of it. Filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle, labelled by us: a decant, not an official brand sample. We are not affiliated with Ex Nihilo.

Frequently asked
Is this a sample made by Ex Nihilo?
No. It is not an official brand sample. FragranceGems decants Generation(s) 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 Generation(s), and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
Can I try Generation(s) next to other samples?
Yes, and it helps. Wear one perfume per day, or one per arm at most, so the scents do not blur. Short notes after each wearing make the choice easier.
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.

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.
