Explicite

by Jordi Fernández

Ex Nihilo Explicite is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Jordi Fernández. Explicite opens with Nutmeg and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Peony, Lily, Praline, and Petalia, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Amber, and Vanilla. Ex Nihilo's Explicite carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a proper divisive scent. Sweet, spicy, and floral with a creamy praline heart, it's either a sophisticated, luxurious powerhouse or an overpowering, headache-inducing disaster that dries down to an off-putting woodiness. Not one for a blind buy.

About

Explicite opens with a punchy, fresh hit of nutmeg and pink pepper, quickly giving way to a rich floral heart where peony and lily blend with a delightful praline sweetness. As it settles, creamy sandalwood, warm amber, and a soft vanilla emerge, creating a complex, well-blended scent. It's a journey from vibrant spice to a sweet, smooth, and woody finish.
