Maison de L’Asie Exile Nine is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026, created by Antoine Lie. Exile Nine opens with Bergamot, Violet Leaf, and Artemisia, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Orris, and Hay, and dries down to a base of Suede, Earthy, and Styrax. Maison de L’Asie's Exile Nine carries a Statement verdict, a herbal-led wear.

This one's a proper wild card. It's got fans but it's not a crowd-pleaser, so expect a bit of a mixed bag of opinions. Definitely for those who fancy something a bit out of the ordinary.

Its unique, slightly unconventional nature means it's better suited for casual or date settings where individuality can shine. The earthy and herbal accords might be a bit too daring for a formal event or the office, and it's certainly not built for sport.

About

Opening with a zesty, green kick of bergamot and violet leaf, Exile Nine then delves into something much more earthy and unexpected. Hay and a touch of powdery orris mingle with orange blossom, but don't expect a typical floral. The real character emerges in the base, where a supple suede note is grounded by deep, dry earthiness and the subtle resinous warmth of styrax. It's a complex, almost raw scent, like a walk through a sun-baked field into an old leather workshop.
