The Hedonist
The Hedonist by Ex Nihilo is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with bergamot and ginger, moves into cedarwood and akigalawood and dries down to vetiver, musk and tonka bean. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
Heart
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Akigalawood Patchouli with the earth taken out. Peppery, lightly spiced dry wood that makes a base feel expensive.
Dry-down
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
