✨ I had the chance to sit down with one of the co-founders of EX NIHILO and hear the story behind how the brand was created — and the story behind Fleur Narcotique, one of EX NIHILO’s most loved fragrances and one of their earliest creations. 🌸✨

As perfume lovers, we smell fragrances every day, but hearing the vision, passion, and journey behind creating them makes you appreciate them in a completely different way. From the beginning of EX NIHILO to the inspiration behind Fleur Narcotique, it was such a special conversation.

If you love niche perfumes, luxury fragrances, and hearing the stories behind iconic scents, this one is for you ✨

What is your favorite EX NIHILO fragrance?

Affordable, clean, woman-owned gourmand perfume ✨ Made with sugar cane alcohol. Stay Awhile by Dime is creamy, nutty, cozy, and delicious — roasted pistachio, caramelized pear, vanilla, white chocolate, and soft musk create a sweet comforting scent that works beautifully all year round. And yes, it’s available at Ulta

Midnight Sin by Paris Corner is such a seductive date night scent ✨🍒🍫
Right from the opening, I get a burst of chocolate and vanilla with the cherry shining beautifully through it. As it dries down, the floral notes start to bloom and add a softer elegant touch.

The bottle is unique, and the scent itself is gorgeous. Nothing feels too overpowering to me — every note feels beautifully balanced 🤍

Smelling Midnight Sin with Noah, my friend and favorite hairstylist for more than 20 years ✨ He still always knows how to make me feel beautiful 🤍 Make sure you check out his page!

Midnight Sin definitely has personality… you can tell just by the bottle. The scent itself is gourmand but not overly sweet. I get chocolate with a hint of cherry in the opening, and in the dry down I start to notice soft white florals coming through. Very unique and addictive ✨

This fragrance is a collaboration between Daniel and Paris Corner and it’s available to purchase now 🤎

This is gourmand done right without smelling too heavy ✨
Creamy vanilla, juicy pear, soft coconut, and a touch of lavender in the background. It has that clean sweet luxury vibe while still feeling easy to wear 🤍

I also love that it’s made with sugar cane alcohol and has a cleaner approach while still smelling expensive. Found this one at Ulta and honestly for the price… it’s a really good affordable find 💫
