Lilac and mimosa in sunlit musk
My Sweetest Morphine is Ex Nihilo's floral obsession, composed by Natalie Cetto: a bold, sensual bouquet in which lilac and mimosa are rounded by rose. Ozonic and solar accords add air and warmth, and musks, vetiver and patchouli sit below. Powdery florals behave differently on each skin, so a 10 ml decant is a practical first step.

How it unfolds
-
Lilac in open air
The scent begins with lilac, cool, slightly green and sweet, brightened by bergamot, while the ozonic accord adds a clean, breezy feel. This opening is light and fresh, closer to moving air than to a bouquet. The floral weight arrives only a little later.
-
Mimosa, rose and a sunny glow
Mimosa brings a soft, powdery sweetness and rose rounds the bouquet without taking it over. The solar accord adds a warm, bright quality, as though the flowers stood in sunshine. For many wearers this is the fullest and most floral moment.
-
The musky veil
Musks carry the base, soft and skin-like, with vetiver giving a dry, earthy edge and patchouli a bit of shade. The brand speaks of a mesmerising veil left on the skin, and that is what remains: powdery, musky and quietly green.
Testing it
How to test it, for whom and why
How to test it
Wear it on a bright spring or summer day first, on clean skin before you dress. If you like what you find, try an evening with one extra spray at the neck. Notice how powdery it feels on you, because mimosa and musk can land softer or sweeter depending on the skin.
Who it is for
For people who want florals that are airy, powdery and a little sunny instead of sweet and heavy, and who like the clean finish of musks. Listed as unisex. If your taste runs to dark, smoky or heavily spiced perfumes, this one will feel light.
Why try Ex Nihilo My Sweetest Morphine as a sample first
The brand calls the sillage addictive and the veil mesmerising, which are bold words for a soft powdery floral. Whether lilac and mimosa read as fresh or as sweet is a matter of your skin. A decant lets you test that on a few ordinary days before buying 100 ml.

Frequently asked
What exactly is in the sample?
A 10 ml decant of My Sweetest Morphine, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labelled by us. It is not a brand sample and Ex Nihilo is not involved.
How loud is this floral?
The idea is bold, yet the feel is soft: a full bouquet that musks and powder keep smooth and airy. Wearing a sample for a few days shows you which of the two you notice.
Does the name tell me anything?
Only that the house calls it an obsession. The composition itself is lilac, bergamot and an ozonic accord on top, mimosa, rose and a solar accord in the heart, then musks, vetiver and patchouli.
Which concentration is it?
An Eau de Parfum. A decant of this kind gives many wearings, enough to try it on different days and in different weather.
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.
