Ex Nihilo Generation(s) is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025, created by Nadège Le Garlantezec. Generation(s) opens with Pink Pepper, Frankincense, and Pear, settles into a heart of Fig, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Tonka Bean. Ex Nihilo's Generation(s) carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This Ex Nihilo offering is divisive: a lovely, creamy fig with excellent longevity, but it's held back by truly shocking projection for the price. An intimate, clean, pleasant scent if you don't mind overpaying for something subtle.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its clean, soft, and intimate nature with low projection makes it perfect for office wear and casual settings where you don't want to overwhelm. While pleasant, it lacks the boldness for formal events and the projection to stand out on a date, though its freshness could suit lighter activities.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Generation(s) opens with a gentle, spiced pear, uplifted by a hint of pink pepper and soft frankincense. It quickly settles into a creamy, luscious fig heart that's fruity and sweet without being cloying. The base emerges with a clean musk, smooth sandalwood, and a touch of comforting tonka bean, delivering a warm, powdery dry-down that lingers close to the skin.
