Ex Nihilo Viper Green is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. Viper Green opens with Mandarin, settles into a heart of Galbanum, and dries down to a base of Vetiver. Ex Nihilo's Viper Green carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Viper Green promises a verdant bite but delivers a surprisingly gentle, clean floral. It's divisive; some find it a gorgeous, fresh green masterpiece, while others are disappointed by its powdery, shampoo-like drydown and lack of venom. Approach with tempered expectations.

Its clean, fresh, and often subtle floral character makes it highly suitable for casual wear and sports, as well as being generally inoffensive for office environments. The perceived strength and moderate longevity make it less ideal for formal events or a 'seductive' date night scent, as many reviewers highlight its gentler nature.

About

It opens with a lively burst of green mandarin, sparking a fresh, aromatic clarity. This quickly mellows into a heart dominated by galbanum, lending an initially sharp, vegetal greenness before giving way to unexpected florals, often perceived as jasmine. The drydown settles into an earthy vetiver base, sometimes accompanied by a soft, powdery accord that can lean towards clean soap or delicate white flowers.
