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, Iris, and Hay, and dries down to a base of Suede, Earthy, and Styrax. Maison de L’Asie's Exile Nine carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-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.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall
Also Works:
Winter

Built on herbal, citrus and fresh spicy - a composition that sits best in spring, summer and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

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.
