Ex Nihilo Atlas Fever is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Shyamala Maisondieu. Atlas Fever opens with Red Berries and Incense, settles into a heart of Narcissus, and dries down to a base of Oak, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Guaiac Wood. Ex Nihilo's Atlas Fever carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a divisive woody vanilla, with some finding it a heavenly, unique skin scent, while others struggle with synthetic notes or a challenging opening. Give it a good wear-test before you splash out - it's a journey, not a destination.

About

Atlas Fever opens with a sharp burst of red berries and shimmering incense, which quickly settles into a creamy, almost lactonic vanilla heart. Narcissus adds a touch of elegant florality, before settling into a deep, luxurious base of sandalwood, oak, and guaiac wood. The overall impression is a warm, enveloping cloud of sweet woods with a hint of smoky mystery.
