The Hedonist

by Jordi Fernández

Ex Nihilo The Hedonist is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Jordi Fernández. The fragrance opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Litchi, Cedar, and Akigalawood, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Patchouli, Amberwood, and Tonka Bean.

Our verdict on The Hedonist: Acquired

This extrait is a bold, modern take on a popular fresh-woody DNA. While some claim it’s just a pricier clone, others insist the lychee and heightened depth elevate it to true signature scent status. Expect nuclear performance, but be ready to sell a kidney for the privilege.

Its nuclear projection and lasting power make it less suitable for a confined office, but perfect for dates or evening events where you want to make a statement. The fresh and woody accords, combined with a touch of sweetness, give it versatility for both casual and semi-formal wear, though its intensity might be too much for active sports.

About

An electric burst of grapefruit, ginger, and bergamot ignites the senses, creating a 'fizzy' and vibrant opening. This bright energy soon mellows into a heart where juicy lychee introduces a sweet, rounded fruitiness, expertly woven with the clean, dry woodiness of cedar and akigalawood. The dry-down expands into a sophisticated blend of earthy vetiver and patchouli, underpinned by the rich warmth of amberwood and a creamy whisper of tonka bean.
