Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Fleur Narcotique EDP
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Flower Substance EDP
Flower Substance chases Ex Nihilo's Fleur Narcotique - that juicy peach-and-lychee opening into a peony-jasmine-orange-blossom heart over musky moss. The bright fruity-floral mood lands, but it reads flatter and a touch sweeter, missing the original's luminous polish and refined dry-down.
