Explicite
Explicite by Ex Nihilo is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with nutmeg and pink pepper, moves into praline and lily of the valley and dries down to vanilla, sandalwood and ambroxan. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Nutmeg Warm, woody and slightly sweet. Cosy without being gourmand.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Heart
- Praline Caramelised nuts. Sweet, toasty and very moreish.
- Lily of the Valley Clean, green, dewy floral. Reads as 'fresh laundry' to most people.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Ambroxan Clean, mineral, skin-like warmth. The engine behind most modern 'beast mode' scents.
