Ex Nihilo Love Shot is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Natalie Gracia-Cetto. Love Shot opens with Raspberry, settles into a heart of Leather, and dries down to a base of Musk. Ex Nihilo's Love Shot carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This one's a proper chameleon, innit? Some get lush, juicy berries, others a proper old-school leather chypre. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent, but for those who get it, Love Shot is a rich, feminine statement piece. Definitely try before you buy.

About

Love Shot opens with a proper burst of tart raspberry, a juicy sweetness that quickly gets a grown-up twist. This berry brightens a soft, almost suede-like leather heart, which isn't smoky or heavy, but rather airy and elegant. A clean, sophisticated musk underpins the composition, offering a lasting, sensual skin scent that balances the fruity top with a grounded depth.
