Ex Nihilo The Hedonist Extrait de Parfum

The Hedonist Extrait de Parfum by Ex Nihilo Paris takes the House's fresh, nature-inspired woody signature and gives it more weight, more warmth and more staying power. Part of the Quintessence Collection, this extrait reworks the original with juicy fruit, deeper woods and an ambery finish that carries well into the evening.

The fragrance opens with an energizing blend of bergamot, ginger and grapefruit, brightened by a juicy touch of lychee. At the heart, cedarwood and Akigalawood® build a textured, sophisticated woodiness that defines its magnetic character. As it settles, vetiver, tonka bean, patchouli and ambery woods wrap the skin in a warm, enveloping finish with real depth and longevity.

Bold but polished, The Hedonist Extrait is for anyone who loves the original and wants a richer, longer-lasting version of it. A unisex composition from Ex Nihilo's Haute Parfumerie line that works for everyday wear, evenings out and cooler weather.

Frequently asked questions

What does The Hedonist Extrait smell like?

The Hedonist Extrait is a fresh woody amber. Expect bergamot, ginger and grapefruit up top, cedarwood, Akigalawood® and lychee in the heart, and a warm base of vetiver, tonka bean, patchouli and ambery woods.

Is The Hedonist Extrait stronger than the original?

Yes. Extrait de parfum is the highest fragrance concentration, so it lasts longer and develops a richer drydown than the Eau de Parfum. It is a reworked composition rather than simply a stronger version.

Yes. Its balance of fresh citrus, textured woods and warm amber makes it easy for anyone to wear.
