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 musk-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.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

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.

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.

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.
