About This Perfume
Think sweet berry jam, pink florals, soft leather: that is Ex Nihilo Love Shot. It opens with peony, pink pepper and bergamot, moves into patchouli, raspberry and jasmine and settles on leather, musk and vetiver. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum works across all four seasons and is easy to wear day or night. It suits casual days. Released in 2016.
In the community's experience it lasts well into the evening, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something fruity and sweet for casual days.
- Sample first if: you have not smelled it before; it is not an easy blind buy.
- Skip if: you dislike fruity fragrances.
Around $20.
