Ex Nihilo Devil Tender is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Nadège Le Garlantezec. Devil Tender opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, Pink Pepper, and Peach, settles into a heart of Rose and Tea, and dries down to a base of Suede, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Heliotrope. Ex Nihilo's Devil Tender carries a Favourite verdict, a rose-led wear.

This "tender" devil divides opinion. Some find it a beautifully blended, soft rose; others, a generic and overpriced offering for a niche house. It's a lovely scent, but be prepared for a skin scent and make sure it doesn't remind you of something cheaper.

About

A gentle, powdery rose takes centre stage, softened by creamy vanilla and a whisper of suede. A sprightly burst of pink pepper and grapefruit offers a fleeting, tart opening, before settling into the heart of delicate tea-infused rose. The drydown reveals a comforting blend of sandalwood and heliotrope, adding a subtly sweet and woody warmth to the overall airy composition.
