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 EDT version of Angel Nova is a divisive one. For some, it's a gorgeous, fresh, and flirty fruity-rose crowd-pleaser; for others, it's a screechy, headache-inducing synthetic mess. Best to try before you buy, as the litchi and rose can be love-it-or-hate-it.

Occasions
Its moderate sillage and longevity make it suitable for casual wear and dates, without being overpowering. The fresh and fruity floral profile, especially in the EDT, is generally too playful for formal events but light enough for some office environments.
