It has no flowers in the pyramid at all, which makes it a clear yes or no for most noses. A 10 ml decant tells you which, before you take a 100 ml bottle home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Bergamot, Ginger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Cedarwood, Akigalawood™\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Vetiver, Musks, Tonka Bean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA quick flash of ginger\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBergamot and ginger open the scent with a cool zest and a little pepper-like heat. The citrus keeps the start clean, and the ginger sets a first, slightly sharp edge. This phase passes within minutes, so do not judge the whole perfume on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAn all-wood heart\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCedarwood and Akigalawood™ make up the heart. Cedar gives a dry, clear line and Akigalawood™ a wider, modern woody shape. With no flowers to soften them, the effect is severe and slightly mineral, which suits the black stones the house talks about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVetiver and musk to close\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base is Haitian vetiver, with musks and tonka bean around it. According to the brand, the musks and Akigalawood™ combine into a lingering trail. Tonka adds a gentle roundness so that the vetiver, earthy and dry, does not feel stern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWear the decant on a day that begins in the city and ends outside, which is the setting the house suggests, and apply it on skin. It suits spring, autumn and winter, so try it in mild or cool weather. Compare how it feels at noon and in the evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is unisex and suits people who prefer woods, vetiver and spice to flowers or sweetness. If you want a composed, outdoorsy feeling in a city setting, from daily wear to dinners, the structure may appeal. Anyone who needs a floral heart will probably miss it here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Ex Nihilo The Hedonist as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWoody perfumes without any floral cushion are very direct, and they sit differently on different skins. Ex Nihilo ties it to sustainability and innovation, but what matters for you is how the cedar and vetiver wear. Our 10 ml decant, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle, answers that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs The Hedonist fresh or warm?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth in turn: the opening is cool with bergamot and ginger, and the base is warm with musks and tonka bean.
