Vesper Glitz
Vesper Glitz by Ex Nihilo is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with pink pepper, mandarin and neroli, moves into ylang-ylang, jasmine and mimosa and dries down to cedarwood, tonka bean, vanilla and musk. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Neroli Distilled orange blossom. Green, soapy and elegant.
Heart
- Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Mimosa Soft, powdery, honeyed yellow flower. Gentle and comforting.
Dry-down
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
