Ex Nihilo Rose Hubris is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014. Rose Hubris opens with Fenugreek and Litchi, settles into a heart of Labdanum and Grasse Rose Absolute, and dries down to a base of Musk, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Ex Nihilo's Rose Hubris carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

A modern chypre rose with an airy, litchi-patchouli twist, this fragrance is a sophisticated yet playful option. While some find its longevity lacking, others appreciate its subtle elegance and fresh character.

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.

Its moderate longevity and subtle sillage make it suitable for office and casual wear, as it won't overwhelm. While elegant enough for some formal settings, its fresh, airy quality might be too understated for grander occasions. It's not designed for sport due to its delicate nature.

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.

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

Rose Hubris opens with a bright, fruity burst of litchi, quickly joined by a delicate, peppery rose. The heart introduces a balsamic depth from labdanum, creating an interesting tension against the rose. As it dries, a clean musk blends with earthy patchouli and oakmoss, adding a contemporary chypre structure without feeling heavy or dated. It's a nuanced composition that evolves on the skin.
