Which Should You Buy?
Ex Nihilo's Fleur Narcotique is a divisive one. It's either a beautiful, fresh-fruity floral masterpiece that pulls compliments, or a screechy, synthetic fabric softener that's aggressively 'clean'. Sample before committing to the hefty price tag.
A breezy, uncomplicated choice for those seeking a light, fruity-floral scent. It manages to be both uplifting and subtly elegant, making it an easy reach for everyday charm.
