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.
This one's a quiet charmer. If you want something pleasant, inoffensive, and cheap enough to re-spray all day without a second thought, Vigour is your guy. Don't expect to turn heads, but those close enough will appreciate its subtle warmth.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its mild projection and moderate longevity make it ideal for office wear, as it's unlikely to offend. While too subtle for formal events, its gentle spicy-woody character could work for an intimate casual date or everyday wear where closeness is key.
