Amber Sky

by Olivier Pescheux

Ex Nihilo Amber Sky is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Olivier Pescheux. Amber Sky opens with Coriander and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Geranium and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Cedar, Amber, and Tonka Bean. Ex Nihilo's Amber Sky carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

Amber Sky is a divisive beast: some hail it as a luxurious, beast-mode amber worthy of its hefty price tag, while others find its potent spice and woody notes overwhelming, generic, and overpriced. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but certainly makes a statement.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, coupled with rich amber and spicy accords, make it unsuitable for an office setting. However, it excels in formal and date scenarios, especially in cooler weather, where its luxurious and bold character can shine without overpowering. Some find it acceptable for casual winter wear.

About

It kicks off with a sharp, fresh spicy burst of coriander and bergamot, quickly softening into a rich, dense amber heart. Nutmeg adds a warm, narcotic spice, while creamy vanilla and tonka bean sweeten the blend. The drydown settles into a strong woody base of cedar and sandalwood, creating a sophisticated and enduring aroma that's both powerful and comforting. Expect a deep, resinous journey with prominent spice.
