Ex Nihilo Speed Legends Living on the edge is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Jordi Fernández. Speed Legends Living on the edge opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Blackcurrant and Clary Sage, and dries down to a base of Vetiver and Tonka Bean. Ex Nihilo's Speed Legends Living on the edge carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a head-scratcher. Loved by many as a refined, classy, masculine all-rounder, but just as many find it a bit 'basic' for the price. If you want expensive-smelling clean, this could be your signature.

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.

Its clean, inoffensive, and generally mass-appealing profile makes it highly versatile for daily wear, including the office. While some find its sillage moderate, its long-lasting nature means it'll carry you through most situations, though its refined character might feel a tad out of place for vigorous sport.

About

Opening with a zesty burst of bergamot and mandarin, sharpened by a touch of pink pepper, Speed Legends quickly develops into a sophisticated aromatic heart. The green, slightly earthy clary sage blends seamlessly with a subtle hint of blackcurrant, preventing it from leaning too sweet. The dry-down is a smooth, masculine anchor of vetiver and tonka bean, delivering a clean, almost barbershop-esque warmth that lingers elegantly.
