Oud Vendome by Ex Nihilo, as a decant
Here Ex Nihilo Oud Vendome, a perfume, is listed as a sample 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. With 2, 5 or 10 ml in a glass spray vial you can find out how it behaves on your skin, at your own pace. What reads as sweet on one person can read as dry on another.
On request
A decant is not an official brand sample: no box, no original bottle, and we are not affiliated with the brands. Read how we fill your sample

On the skin
You will not find top, heart and base notes for Ex Nihilo Oud Vendome here. They are not on record with us, and guessing is not how we write these pages. One wearing shows a mood, several wearings show the perfume. A paper strip shows the outline, skin shows the detail.
On request means we do not have Ex Nihilo Oud Vendome ready to decant at this moment. Your message through the form on this page tells us there is interest; we promise no date. Warm skin and cool skin can bring out different sides, so try both if you can.
The decant holds the same liquid as the full bottle of Ex Nihilo Oud Vendome, moved into a small glass spray vial by FragranceGems and labelled by us. The vial closes tightly and fits in a pocket or bag, so you can test it wherever your day goes.
Testing it
For Ex Nihilo Oud Vendome we hold no season or occasion data, so try it in more than one setting. Wear it on at least three different days before you decide. Check it after a few minutes, around midday and in the evening.
Oud Vendome comes without an audience tag in our data. Anyone who reacts strongly to certain notes is wise to test on skin first. If Ex Nihilo is new to you, a small vial is a calm way to get acquainted. It also works for anyone who wants a small vial for travel or a bag.
The same perfume can be a favourite on one person and a miss on the next, which is the whole case for testing Oud Vendome first. We decant from the original bottle and label the vial ourselves. Ex Nihilo does not make or endorse these samples; it is not an official brand sample.
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.

Read how we fill your sampleQuestions
It is a small glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml with our own label on it. It sprays like a bottle, so you apply Oud Vendome the way you normally would.
No note list is on record with us for Ex Nihilo Oud Vendome, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
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
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.
