The fruit in the opening is not decorative: raspberry's tartness gives the rose a sharper, more interesting backdrop than citrus alone would provide. Jasmine and ylang-ylang build depth and warmth through the heart, and vanilla and sandalwood close with a sweetness that is earned by the fruit-rose development preceding it. An explicit fragrance in the best sense: it states its intentions clearly and follows through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy We Carry This\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe raspberry-rose construction in Explicite works because Ex Nihilo understands proportion: the fruit does not overwhelm the floral, it sharpens it. The ylang-ylang adds a creamy warmth to the heart, and the vanilla-sandalwood drydown makes the fragrance complete rather than leaving it in the fruit-floral category without closure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eScent Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bergamot, Pink Pepper, Cardamom, Grapefruit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeart notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leather, Tobacco, Cedarwood, Iris\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBase notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sandalwood, Amber, Musk, Patchouli\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCharacter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccords:\u003c\/strong\u003e Woody, Leather, Tobacco, Aromatic, Amber, Warm Spicy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLaunched:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2014\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ex Nihilo","offers":[{"title":"3.4 oz","offer_id":48123496136948,"sku":"3760264093251","price":345.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0816\/2472\/7796\/files\/studio_19ad8b97-0462-44f8-a602-4d1796761028.jpg?v=1780343233"},{"product_id":"ex-nihilo-the-hedonist","title":"The Hedonist","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Hedonist opens with neroli and bergamot and then does not apologize for what follows: a jasmine and orange blossom heart of genuine indulgence, the two white florals building on each other until the composition has the quality of a heavily planted terrace in August heat. Rose gives the heart a softer dimension, and the vanilla-benzoin base converts the floral abundance into a warm, skin-close finish that lingers with a quieter version of the opening's exuberance.
