Benoît Verdier, Co-Founder of EX NIHILO shares the superlative scents to gift this season from the Parisian fragrance house’s collection.
What are your favourite top notes of a fragrance?
It’s difficult to say! You know despite you have some favourite materials in your heart, the beauty of our universe is to discover day by day endless olfactory options. For top notes, I would say Orange Blossom for its sparkling and energizing facets, but I have nothing against replacing the Hesperides by some beautiful spices like White Pepper. It’s what we’ve done with Yann Vasnier for Citizen X and the mix between White Pepper and Iris Pallida from Italy works amazingly well!
