Ex Nihilo Speed Legends Night Drive is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Jordi Fernández. Speed Legends Night Drive opens with Bergamot, Pink Pepper, Ginger, and Sage, settles into a heart of Labdanum and Blackcurrant, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Patchouli, Tonka Bean, and Amberwood. Ex Nihilo's Speed Legends Night Drive carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

Divisive and pricey, this intense flanker amplifies the original Speed Legends DNA with a darker, more audacious edge. Expect a bold, spicy journey that's not for everyone, especially given the cost.

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.

About

Speed Legends Night Drive takes you on a dark, exhilarating ride. It kicks off with a sharp, aromatic burst of bergamot, zingy ginger and pink pepper, underpinned by herbal sage. This fresh, spicy opening quickly evolves as labdanum adds a resinous depth, while blackcurrant introduces a subtle, tart sweetness. The dry down is a rich tapestry of earthy patchouli and vetiver, smoothed by creamy tonka bean and a commanding amberwood. It's a scent that morphs from vibrant to deep, capturing the thrill of a midnight adventure.
