Ex Nihilo
Blue Talisman
Julien Rasquinet composed Ex Nihilo Blue Talisman around vanilla, and it shows the longer you wear it.

How it moves
Passionfruit, bergamot and blackcurrant hit first, the way an opening line should. The middle belongs to ylang-ylang and jasmine. The base is musk, cedar and vanilla. That is the bit on your scarf the next morning.
What wearers say

Who made it
Julien Rasquinet composed it in 2019, for Ex Nihilo in France. A tropical fruity-floral built on passionfruit and ylang, conceived as a talismanic summer counterpart to Fleur Narcotique.
