Citizen X Eau de Parfum by Ex Nihilo Paris captures the spirit of modern allure: fresh, airy and effortlessly magnetic. Inspired by the atmosphere of a rooftop above the City of Light, it balances bright spice, elegant iris and smoky woods for a scent that feels bold yet refined.
The fragrance opens with the crisp, spicy brightness of mastic tree and white pepper, a luminous and energizing introduction. At the heart, iris adds a refined, powdery softness that gives Citizen X its modern character. As it settles, a warm base of incense, musk and ambery woods delivers a smooth, slightly smoky finish that lingers with understated confidence.
Elegant and contemporary, Citizen X is equally suited to a tailored tuxedo or everyday effortless style. A unisex composition from Ex Nihilo's Haute Parfumerie line that works from the office to a late dinner.
