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 II EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Ex Nihilo Fleur Narcotique Blossom - a floral fragrance led by Calabrian Bergamot, Litchi, with citrus depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.

Season and Occasion Fit

Fleur Narcotique

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its fresh, clean, and floral profile makes it highly suitable for office and casual wear, with many reviewers calling it an 'office-appropriate' and 'easy reach' scent. While some find its longevity good for a night out, its relatively softer sillage and linear nature reduce its scoring for formal events and date nights.

Flower Substance II

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the floral, citrus profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Keep it for casual and daily - the floral accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
