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 legendary green floral is a bona fide masterpiece, still highly sought after and painfully missed since its discontinuation. Expect bold freshness, a unique sharp elegance, and compliments galore.
