This unisex Eau de Parfum from 2025 sets the flower against upcycled natural strawberry and a pistachio accord, on ambery woods. A decant lets you see how sweet that turn feels on you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Upcycled natural Strawberry, Bergamot, Pink pepper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Rose absolutes, Pistachio accord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Cedarwood, Akigalawood™, Ambrofix™, Tonka bean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStrawberry first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe opening combines upcycled natural strawberry, bergamot and pink pepper. The brand takes the strawberry from an upcycling process. Notice whether the fruit comes across as ripe and sweet or is held back by the citrus and the pepper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRose absolutes and pistachio\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRose absolutes lead the heart, with a pistachio accord beside them. The brand describes the rose through essential oil, a pure absolute and two abstract notes, so it is meant to have several faces. Pistachio gives it a different texture, quieter than the strawberry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA base of ambery wood\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCedarwood, Akigalawood™, Ambrofix™ and tonka bean make up the base, which the brand calls a deep canvas of ambery woods. It is where the rose and the fruit finally settle. Wear the decant long enough on a day out to meet this part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose an evening or a dressed-up day in spring or autumn, apply to neck and wrists, and note the order in which you meet strawberry, rose and wood. Compare a second wearing on a different day. A perfume with this much sweetness reads differently in warm and cool air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeople who like rose with a modern turn: fruit and nuts, then woods, in place of a classic bouquet. Ex Nihilo presents it without a gender. It suits someone who enjoys a little sweetness and wants wood beneath it. A dry, green or purely fresh floral is not what it offers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Ex Nihilo Spiky Muse as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStrawberry, rose and pistachio together are unusual, and unusual pairings are the ones to test before you commit. The perfume was composed by Louise Turner. Our 10 ml decant is filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle, so you can learn how it sits on your skin first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhere does the decant come from?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot from the house. FragranceGems pours the 10 ml from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and puts our own label on it, and Ex Nihilo is not involved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat is upcycled strawberry?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccording to the brand it is a natural strawberry extract from an upcycling process. Within the perfume it gives the rose a ripe, sweet turn, and the sample lets you judge it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs the rose sweet or dry?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe brand speaks of an addictive sweet turn, while bergamot, pink pepper and cedarwood add some dryness. How that balance feels is personal, so test it on skin.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ex Nihilo","offers":[{"title":"2 ml","offer_id":67693372932250,"sku":"DG-ENI-SPIKY-MUSE-002ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 ml","offer_id":67693372965018,"sku":"DG-ENI-SPIKY-MUSE-005ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"10 ml","offer_id":67693334659226,"sku":"DG-ENI-SPIKY-MUSE-010ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/5938\/8570\/files\/ex-nihilo-spiky-muse-eau-de-parfum-sample.jpg?v=1791395757","url":"https:\/\/decantgems.eu\/products\/ex-nihilo-spiky-muse-eau-de-parfum-sample","provider":"DecantGems","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
