Ex Nihilo Love Shot Sample
A few wearings of Love Shot, then decide
Ex Nihilo Love Shot is a perfume from the Ex Nihilo line-up. Our data holds its name and its house, not its notes, and we leave it at that. A sample is the sensible first step: a perfume on paper and a perfume on skin are rarely the same thing. Warm skin and cool skin can bring out different sides, so try both if you can.

On the skin
How it unfolds
-
An honest gap
The notes of Love Shot are not in our files. That is not a judgement about the perfume, only about what we can state with certainty. Write down what you notice after a few minutes and again after lunch, and you will see how it moves.
-
Asking for this sample
Ex Nihilo Love Shot has the status on request. The page is here so you can tell us you are interested; the sizes open up once we can fill the sample. We make no promise about timing. Try it on a normal day, not only on a special one, to see whether it fits your routine.
-
The sample itself
The sample is made by hand: Ex Nihilo Love Shot goes from the original bottle into a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml, which we then label. The smallest size covers a first impression, the largest gives you many wearings. Glass does not react with perfume, so what you smell is the perfume itself.
Testing it
How to test it, for whom and why
How to test it
When to wear Love Shot is not on record with us; test it on the kind of day you would actually wear it. Check it after a few minutes, around midday and in the evening. Try it once at home and once outdoors, since air and temperature change the impression.
Who it is for
We hold no data on who Love Shot is meant for, so we do not label it. It suits people who like to put a few scents side by side over a week. If you are choosing a gift, testing it yourself first tells you what you are giving.
Why try Ex Nihilo Love Shot as a sample first
A sample of Love Shot answers the two things that matter: whether you like it, and whether you still like it on the fifth wearing. 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 the same perfume as the full bottle?
Yes. The liquid is taken from the original bottle of Ex Nihilo Love Shot and filled into a glass spray vial by FragranceGems. The vial carries our own label, so it is a decant and not a sample made by the brand.
Why does this page list no notes?
No note list is on record with us for Ex Nihilo Love Shot, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
Can I try Love Shot 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.

- 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.
