WienerBlut Ex Voto is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Mark Buxton. Ex Voto opens with Clover, Pink Pepper, and Chamomile, settles into a heart of Mastic, Nutmeg, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Guaiac Wood, and Ambergris. WienerBlut's Ex Voto carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh spicy-led wear.

This is a masterpiece of restraint; a beautiful, modern incense that's sadly hampered by its fleeting nature. A love-it-or-hate-it scent for the price, the opening is heavenly, but many find the dry-down disappears too quickly.

Its moderate sillage and somewhat ephemeral nature make it suitable for office wear and casual settings, as it won't overpower. The unique herbal-incense blend might be too niche for formal events, and it's definitely not one for sport.

About

Ex Voto opens with a bright, peppery frankincense, quickly joined by an aromatic embrace of chamomile and clover, creating an unusual fresh-herbal counterpoint to the sacred. Guaiac wood and sandalwood lend a smooth, dry warmth, while ambergris adds a subtle, almost liturgical depth. It's a scent that conjures cool stone chapels and sun-dappled fields, a refined interplay of the austere and the pastoral.
