Citizen X
Citizen X by Ex Nihilo is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with black pepper and mastic, moves into iris and dries down to amberwood, incense and musk. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
- Mastic Resinous pine-and-lemon. The chew of Greek gum.
Heart
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
Dry-down
- Amberwood Dry synthetic warmth, sharper than amber. Everywhere in modern masculines.
- Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
