Venenum Kiss

by Quentin Bisch

Ex Nihilo Venenum Kiss is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Quentin Bisch. Venenum Kiss opens with Neroli, Saffron, and Nutmeg, settles into a heart of Rose, Artemisia, and Amber, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Styrax, and Vanilla. Ex Nihilo's Venenum Kiss carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

Venenum Kiss is a divisive one, blending syrupy rose and saffron with a unique dirty, spicy undertone. Some find it opulent and luxurious, while others dismiss it as a 'mainstream grandma smell.' Definitely not a safe blind buy.

About

Opens with a potent, resinous saffron, enriched by warm nutmeg and a hint of bright neroli. The heart blossoms into a jammy, dark rose, deepened by earthy artemisia and rich amber. As it settles, creamy sandalwood and comforting vanilla emerge, with a subtle leather-like styrax adding a touch of intriguing depth. The overall impression is a warm, spicy floral with an oriental flair.
